Turn 37
War Wind goes about extracting a roll of snake skin with skinning knife, while Molten Heart pinches his nose and begins digging through the Yaz's guts. The smell is overpowering, bitter and acidic, but he eventually pulls the item free-it's a small band of stone.
This ring is a band of thick black Onyx, and engraved on the front is the Dwarven rune for Protection, in a Mithril setting, which explains the glint. This is a fairly common possession among Warrior Dwarves-it's a ring of protection. It empowers its user with increased resilience against damage, but they have a short life span, tending to break after repeated use. It's depressing that it couldn't do more to defend it's previous owner, though-little good it did him in the belly of the Yaz. Molten Heart says a quick prayer to it's previous owner, and pockets it.
War Wind extracts a roll of Yaz skin, and rolls it up neatly, storing it in his pack. If it's like other magical scales he's worked with, it'll make an excellent addition to any piece of armor or shield as an additional buffer against attacks. It could also be used in its entirety to make a pair of gloves, boots or a helmet.
Sheltering Leaves voices the idea that they should try the Southern door, and there is no argument.
Blade Singer detects a familiar scent coming from the pocket of his overcoat-a letter? He remembered receiving it from an Imperial envoy who visited him, but he never had a chance to read it, before he wandered into the basement and was taken prisoner. It had the mark of the Queen of Esteros on it, even. He had forgotten about in all the excitement.
Molten Heart,
+1 Dwarven Ring of Protection, provides a passive -3 to all damage suffered while worn, expending a charge every time it is used in this way.
*the ring feels completely cool to the touch*(OOC: It's not equipped on you by default Zako-theres a very real possibilty that it will be destroyed by repeated use, with the ring getting hotter as a clue. However, given enough time, it will always cool back down and be safe to use.)
War Wind
+1 Roll of Yaz Skin, can augment or be made into a cloak, small armor, or shield with +1 defense, +2 bonus HP, +1 elemental resist
--------------------------------------------------------
The Kai make their way out of the room, and across the Hall. With no one distracted, this door is easier to open, anyway.
They move forward, and the emerge into an area not of carved dungeon flagstone, but of roughly hewed rock. They see the remnants of the puzzle they were supposed to solve-some annoying combination of balancing water levels in different size tubes with different size buckets. Any monster may be preferable to that.
There's also two marble Golem Guards on each end of the room, also smashed-it seems one was crushed into powder and stone chips, and the other one is undamaged, but missing his head and arms
It's been smashed to shards, and the secret door they would have revealed to a flight of stairs is covered in rubble-it seems as if it was collapsed on purpose.
War Wind groans-he says he saw much the same when he investigated above. This is no doubt part of the tentacle creatures burrow. The Kai are deciding if they should retreat, or move forward, when a Golem head speaks out from behind them. He's lying on his side in the far corner, the force of whatever impact that severed him from his body leaving a sizable dent in the rock behind him.
They instinctively draw their weapons, but-it's just a head, roughly shaped like a Dwarf. It speaks to them, in a booming, monotone voice.
"Intruders most foul! Solve the Trap Masters puzzle-balance the water, or be crushed!"Something seems to come over it then-it orients it's stone eyes on them, and speaks to the Kai in a more conversational tone.
"Sorry. I've got my orders to say that. I didn't mean to alarm you. Not that I can do much about anything in my current state, of course. Feel free to laugh at my situation, I'll be glad of the companionship."His stone face registers a certain hopeless resignation that makes you feel a profound sense of pity.
