Do any of you think we can move these boxes safely? I am sure there are sages who would love to study these and pay us gold for them.

Themon says, It will probably make a lot of noise so we should wait until we clear out all of the monsters in here first.

Speaking of which, we should go back to that room that kills spores and make sure nothing's growing on us before we explore any more.

Atticus

"Sounds like a plan. Let's put the lid on properly, and return to the magic room for an hour to be safe. We could even rest there."

The boxes are large, 5' to a side, and made of thick glass, as well as whatever material is inside. It would likely be *extremely* difficult to move without damaging whatever is inside.

As the adventurers leave the room there is another crash and clatter from the level below them -- this time it sounds further away, perhaps -- but the party is able to safely return to the decontamination room.

[shaidar]

Atticus will ensure the lid to the glass box is securely closed before they head to the decontamination room.

Dirk followed along, missing the enhanced olfactory and vegetative senses of the shroom form.

“We should lay a trap for that monster down there. I sensed it was powerful. Lure it onto some oil covered section of floor, light on fire, be ready with spells and missiles.”

[sulldawga]

Themon says, Do we want to risk going after it, or do we want to gain a little experience elsewhere in here and then come back?

What do folks think about these options?

[kalstone]

Tiarsus

"I would vote to wait until later to deal with it."

[shaidar]

Atticus

"Later then, but the creature might take the option away from us when we return to check on the small people, so we should be wary."

[BaltoBruiser]

Brooku

I am not sure I like the sounds from below but I think we should deal with whatever is making those sounds now.

[sulldawga]

Themon says, I think we don't want to go any lower until we're done sweeping the current level.

In ooc knowledge, this is a sublevel of the current main level. So far as you know, you've investigated all of the chambers on this floor and the one below you (with the four chambers), but have not investigated what could be called level 2 of the this sublevel. Don't forget that you have also found some books and texts that haven't been fully investigated yet.

[Dicey]

Dirk the dervish said: “We should rest to regain our powers, and examine the texts in case they may be helpful. Then we can face what lurks below.”

[sulldawga]

Themon says, If we're going to do this, Megshag and I have full spell capabilities now. Why don't we try the spells and flaming oil idea now, and we can retreat back here if things go south? I do agree that we should read up first but we don't necessarily need a full 8 hours of rest.

[BaltoBruiser]

Brooku

Owl Man and Hairless, can you read these books? Maybe it will give us some clue as to what is making all that noise below.

[sulldawga]

Themon shakes his head. I can't read this. Looks like Sani.

Can someone point me to the post where we found the books?

[Dicey]

Themon says, … Megshag and I have full spell capabilities now.

Does this mean Dirk has his whirlwind ability back also?

Dirk will try scanning the books - the table of contents, indexes, the summary on the back and the dust jacket inside flaps. Perhaps there are promotional blurbs from well respected sorcerers or celebrity magicians praising the volume, revealing the grimoire’s topic and must-read insights.

[kalstone]

Tiarsus shakes his head. "I can make nothing of it."

All I was saying is that since we re-entered the dungeon, neither of my guys have used a spell so we don't need to rest.
