“I can’t fight in the water — too deep! Fall back to the high ground here!” shouts Telkis, mortified at the part his foolishness has played in bringing them to this end.

Kiri withholds his astonishment as the newcomer, Kassim, inadvertently caresses Grandfather’s bare chest with his outstretched hand. Customs differ in different lands and he is not one to judge. Grandfather, for his part, doesn’t seem to mind. Amethu, maybe your ghost grandpa walk around the room w...

Yes! I have an old school mini of that character (not painted yet) that I believe was originally from the gladiatorial football game from Citadel… Bloodbowl?

Just read all this. It’s nice to know Grandfather wasn’t just slacking.

As they come to a halt at the base of the steps and the dust settles, Kiri holds up the amulet, his fist still wrapped around it. “We didn’t come away with nothing, it seems. We have the potions, and this treasure seems to contain a very large gem, though I hesitate to look at it directly until I’ve...

“Trap or no, we have no choice but to free him now, if you ask me,” says Telkis quietly. “Do what tests you feel necessary, but I’d rather die here than know I left an innocent to suffer and die… or worse.”

If Kiri feels no more tapping from Grandfather, he will feel ahead of himself to grab an appendage of the creature, meaning to drag it out with them, if possible, as they scramble for the exit. He has an idea, based on an ancient legend his grandfather told (when alive and much more chatty) that is ...

Telkis sighs as his hand drifts to the haft of Cranach. Stepping forward, he puts a hand on Urdur’s elbow. “Friend, perhaps we’d better switch places, in case this does turn out to be another trick. It’s as if there’s an unseen hand guiding these evils we continually face - one that creates devious...

Fellows. Heads up that I will be out of the country from today until the 16th. I do intend to try to keep up, but my posting rate will likely be even more erratic and annoying, if you can imagine such a thing.

Kiri will orient himself to the side Grandfather is tapping an move steadily forward, shield and trident raised. "Grandfather is guiding me to the enemy. I will talk so you know where I am," he says as he moves. If he feels the tapping quicken he will lunge forward with Cranach: Attack wi...

Telkis smacks his lips, sighs and looks at the bottle. "It wasn't poison!" he says. As good as he feels, he resolves to proceed with caution and try to avoid toe-to-toe fighting as much as possible, or any fighting at all, for that matter. He cautiously moves up the stairs with the group.

Having traveled with mouser for so long and seen him at his worst, Telkis hesitates only a moment before downing the contents of the bottle. This will either heal me or set my mind loose from its moorings, he thinks…

Hearing Cruloc fall, Kiri knows things are going sideways and that some new innovation is required if they are to survive. “Torix, hold on!” he shouts. Mentally, he reaches out to Grandfather. “Old man, listen to me. I want you to get between me and the nearest assailant. If it is more than striking...

Telkis sputters and coughs as he comes to, leaning heavily on the wall. He glances around. “Could be worse,” he says. “Thought that was it for us.”

"Checking the doors!" shouts Kiri, more to make his position known than for any other reason, though from the sound of it, Cruloc has other, more pressing concerns. He turns and faces away from Amethu, then moves forward, groping for the rope securing the western and southern doors. If he...

Telkis burbles.

I feel like Telkis was overlooked simply because his head is barely peeking over the waterline (and he's being very quiet). That's heightism.

Telkis seems to communicate by his unconsciousness that he needs a minute to collect himself...

Standing in place, Kiri will raise his shield and lash out with the Claw of Chobek in the direction of Amethu's cry:

Attack with Trident +1, Claw of Chobek (THAC0:17): To Hit: [1d20+4]=18+4=22 Damage vs. s/m: [1d6+8]=3+8=11, vs. Lg: [3d4+7]=11+7=18
