Try to take out the other leg

[Cheddarius]

Oh jesus
NOBODY DO ANYTHING
We have to wait until we have several players to make a consensus, this is way too dangerous

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Dang it Cheddarius I had it written up but you ninja'd me. Alright fine get your fancy consensus 

EDIT: Also, thanks for the compliments. We're riding this one to the end!

[rickvoid]

Holy shit. Intelligent undead. It's using spear to keep itself up.

I doubt it'll speak english, but let's try talking to it.

Since it's hobbled, it should be simpler to bash if needed.

> Say "Hey, you seem intelligent. Can you understand me?"
>Prepare to dodge spear.

[Yarnspinner]

   If we are gonna talk to it, may i suggest that we do so.. while backpedaling..  Illinois Ricky exclaims.. " That was frikken cool!" <-- in reference to the bomb semi-debacle.

I didn't think the font was going to work out this well. And it inspired me to do the insertion point thing, which turned out exactly as I hoped. Swell!

You're pretty jazzed up about that bomb. Sure wish it had done more damage though ...

All that aside, you back up and say to the skeleton, "Hey man, can you talk?"

It doesn't reply, but continues hobbling toward you.

You say, "Look, I'm just trying to cut outta here. I know you're pretty frosted about that bomb but ... well dang, what do you say about something like that?"

It doesn't reply, but continues hobbling toward you.

"Hey nosebleed, what's your problem? I'm not tryin' to rattle your cage, I'm just-"

It doesn't reply, but continues hobbling toward you.

You have backed up to near the base of the stairs. The pit is behind you and the carved stone faces are all around. The skeleton is still out of melee range.

>Circle behind him, pull the spear out of his hands, then kick him into the pit while screaming "THIS! IS! NOT-SPARTA!!"

We should be more careful with those explosive in the future. I briefly considered making a launcher of some sort, but abandonned the idea as overly complicated.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

You wait until the SKELETON, SCARY BAD THING has its weight on the spear, and you lunge around it. It shifts its weight, trying to get up on its one leg, and manages to smack you in the upper leg with the butt of the spear. You get around it though, and grab the spear, and kick it into the pit.

The skeleton grabs your shirt with its other bony claw and drags you down with it. You're holding on to the lip of the pit with just one hand, and the skeleton holds onto your ripping shirt with one hand.

It tries to stab at you with the spear and cuts your pants, scratching your hip. You try kicking it off but can't and you feel your fingers slipping. The skeleton stabs again, nicking the elbow of your free hand.

You grab the lip of the pit with both hands and haul yourself out. You manage to kick the skeleton off of you and it tears your shirt to ribbons as it falls into the darkness below.

Moments later you hear an indeterminate echo. Then all is quiet. The smoke has dispersed.

   We could cauterize our wound (depending on severity), heating the spikes in our torch.. then sizzle.. but.. i guess tetnus is preferable to a burn infection.  Damn.. i wanted that spear. 

[rickvoid]

All acording to plan.

Besides, this is an Indiana Jones esque adventure. Our shirt was doomed from the beginning.

Haha yeah that's right! I didn't think about that.

You check your wounds. The cut on your leg isn't bad, nor is the one on your hip. The elbow hit got you in the bone but it didn't damage much muscle or tendon - you should be fine if you can bandage it.

Speaking of, you don't have a scrap of clean cloth on you. You wash up with some water and take a drink. And pick up your torch, which you dropped when the skeleton pulled you.

You are at the base of the circular stairs-room. There is a circular pit here. Stone faces on the walls glare at you with their blue-glowing eyes.

You are scratched and bruised.

Set up a tripwire (rope).. so in case we have to retreat again, we can run something.. (hopefully not flying or crawling) into it, and go bash happy. We could also consider boiling some water in a emptied out bombshell, then sanitize some clothing for our elbow.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

You go upstairs and get some rope and a pair of iron spikes and return. But you don't have anything to use to hammer the iron spikes into the joints between the stone blocks in the walls.

You'd need a good tool to do it, just bashing away with a rock or the butt of your gun isn't going to cut it because the stones are fitted too well.

The bomb shells are stiff paper. You couldn't really boil water in one without making it a soggy mess. You do have some ceramic pots and bowls upstairs by the turtle fountain.

Side note: Cheddarius made a mistake on his map. There is a passage to the south from the southern storage room on Level 1 (Room I). So just imagine there's a spraycan dot south of that room.

[rickvoid]

Let's not put the tripwire anywhere near the pit, mmkay? We barely avoided it once already.

I second doing some laundry.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

You go upstairs again and set some wood on fire, filling a ceramic pot with water and setting it on the fire. Well, that isn't going to work. You grab some stone rubble from the shattered altar room and arrange them so you can put wood underneath and they hold the pot above the flames.

You put your scraps of shirt in the pot and get the water up to a boil. It looks as clean as it'll get without soap. You wash up your wounds again and wrap them up in your makeshift bandages. You're still bleeding but not bad enough to worry about right now. You've used up your shirt.

The water is still hot, so you take the time to rinse off your other clothes. The water is now filthy. You wring your clothes out and put them back on. You're still dirty, but if you want to boil another pot of clean water you'll have to use up more wood.
