[Rautherdir]

Lyssha turns and walks to the door on the left, opening it as well.

[S34N1C]

"It was that weird Potion they gave you. I won't tell you who though. You're too homicidal."

Search outside the Cabin for valuables.

[Coolrune206]

Juniper enters the structure with reckless abandon.

[inaluct]

"Hey, you. Stop." Gasozein grabs Lyssha. "Stop opening every door we see before we actually look at what's behind them. Come search this with me." Drag Lyssha into the room and start searching it. Grab the spectacles and make a mental note to get the map later. Cautiously examine the corpse: why is it buzzing?

[DolosusDoleus]

Saevire:

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

Lyssha:

[str: 3-1]
[dex: 2+2]
[Gasozein str: 3+3]
[Gasozein dex: 4]

As you attempt to make your way to the left door, one of Gasozein's burly arms latches around your waist and you find yourself being carried back into the bloodstained room.

Sayla:

[wis: 6-1]

As you walk around the cabin, you find a stone well in the back, a wooden bucket hanging along the side. As you look down the well, you see a ladder running down the inside of it. Huh.

Juniper:

You climb up the hempen ladder, making great, loud creaking noises as you move upwards. As you poke your head into the treehouse, you see a young boy huddling in the corner, with an alchemical light-globe in his hands.

[int: 5-1]

Looking more closely at the child, you see that he has the light green skin of a half-Jereshtrite. His eyes widen as you look at him and he starts quietly gibbering to himself in terror.

Gasozein:

After wresting Lyssha back into the room, you first grab the optics.

[+ Pearl-Rimmed Optics]

Then you walk up to the corpse, concerned about the buzzing noise it is producing.

[int: 4-1]
[dex: 1]
As you peek down the corpse's neck-stump, you see a glimpse of what every traveler around the world dreads: the nest of a swarm of carrion wasps.

Carrion wasps are gigantic wasps, the size of a grown man's thumb and as aggressive as a pack of wolverines. As you stumble away, you trip and fall on your behind, causing a terrible racket.

Then, five carrion wasps burst out of the corpse's chest, stingers gleaming as they move in to attack you!

[Swarm dex: 6]
[dex: 4]
[end: 3+2]

The wasps swarm all over your body, but luckily your armor protects you from the brunt of their attack. However, one manages to sting you in the left hand, causing you to yelp in pain as a massive welt appears on your palm.

[-1 to actions taken with the left hand]

[Coolrune206]

"Awww... Hewwo. Are you scared? I am too. Today has been a scary day."

Juniper calms the child with her general stupidity. Hopefully, she will seem too inept to be evil.

[S34N1C]

"Hey guys! I found a well with a ladder leading down into it."

Enter the well

[Rautherdir]

Lyssha looks annoyed at having been dragged back into a room with wasps in it.

She proceeds to kill the wasps that flew out with her staff. Even if they are currently on Gasozein.

[TankKit]

"Hang on a minute, maybe it's some sort of thing you can change?..." Attempt to turn my leg into an arm in any way that could be related to magic possible, thoughts, words, anything.

[inaluct]

Kill the wasps.

[DolosusDoleus]

Juniper:

[cha 2+1+1 Speech]

Fortunately, you appear to seem harmless enough to convince the child that you mean no harm. Still trembling slightly, he takes his finger and starts drawing words in the dust at his feet.

"WHO? HOW? WHY?"

Sayla:

You climb down the ladder, which spans at least twenty feet down before you reach the bottom, landing in a shallow pool of rainwater. Squinting your eyes you peer into the cave ahead of you...

[int: 3+2]

...and lying on the floor, not ten feet ahead of you sits a huge uncut gemstone. That thing has to be at least the size of both your fists put together!

Lyssha:

[Dex Attack: 2+2]
[Swarm dex: 3]
[Gasozein dex: 1]
[Gasozein end: 4+2]
With a mighty yell, you take your staff and beat the wasps swarming Gasozein, turning two of them into a fine red paste! Unfortunately, in your wil beating you accidentally hit Gasozein upside the head. Eh, he looks fine.

Saevire:

[int: 2+1]
[will: 1]

Well, you can't really think of any magical words at the moment. Instead, you try to will your leg back into an arm. After several minutes of concerted grunting and clenching, you do nothing but give yourself a headache.

Gasozein:

After glaring at Lyssha for a second, you return your focus to the remaining three wasps.

[Attack str: 5+3-1 Welt]
[Swarm dex: 2]

With a mighty yell, you take your sword and swing it in a huge arc above your head at the wasps! Doing so, you also take out a significant portion of the wall behind you, and you also cut the corpse clean in half, gouging a huge slice out of the bed in the process. But hey, you took out another wasp in the process!

Swarm:

The remaining two wasps, aggravated by the deaths of their comrades and hive, take another go at Gasozein!

[Gasozein dex: 1]
[Swarm dex: 5]

The wasps up Gasozein's pants and start attacking his tender bits!

[Gasozein end: 2 (Armor not in effect)]

Tears welling up in his eyes, Gasozein barely manages to stay conscious!

[Gasozein is in extreme pain! -1 to all physical rolls!]

All:

It is now approximately 2:00 AM, and the storm is starting to ease up. Visibility is still negligible.

[Coolrune206]

Juniper begins designing elaborate pictograms in the dust describing her situation, but downplaying the whole "being a prisoner" part, placing far more emphasis on the "SWIRLY LINES" part.

((You all should be happy Juniper is not in the cabin with the wasps. You would all die. Somehow.))

[inaluct]

Oh god. Not the bits.

Drop the sword and get in there. Crush the wasps, but specifically nothing else.

[Rautherdir]

While Gasozein is distracted, go open the other door.

[S34N1C]

Carefully examine the surface around the gem. It could be a trap!
