[Game Thread] Time in My Hand

[Moridain]

Chris grins, "Just trying to give you an in. I wouldn't have actually left you here, don't worry."

Peering in the chest she whistles, "Hm... The firegem looks interesting. I wonder if we can remove it and add it to other weapons down the line. The only thing better than an extendable spear is one that sets people on fire."

Looking to the others, "So, Elixer and Firegem. Anyone want something else? Frankly I think it would be rude to call the Emo Dragon back from College at this point, and the other two look cheap."

[Fragmaster01]

You snag an elixir and a firegem! The chest closes with a "Thud." and hops away, off to wherever chests reside.

You hear the sounds of water rising from below. This floor has nothing left for you now, unless you want to go swimming.

[Moridain]

Without further ado, the bug attaches the firegem to the spear near the tip, letting out an 'Oooo' as it catches fire.

Noting the water she buzzes, "Time to get while the going is dry." she jumps back onto the escalator, ready for whatever comes next.

[AwesomeEllie]

Fimi Scrambling to get on the escalator before he became soggy once again, Fimi looked at the elixer. He was decently curious as to what it would do, but he was also incredibly cautious. He didn't want to become female, after all! Turning to Chris, he asks, "Think I should give this a go? Or save it for a rainy day?"

[Moridain]

The bug looks at it while they spiral, thinking, "I say wait till we get to the next fight. It might have a duration for all we know?"

"Who offers adoption by Potion anyway? People generally use papers for that kind of thing."

[Fragmaster01]

You wooze up the escalator to the next floor. This one looks to be an entirely empty 30ft radius room, save for the instructional plaque.

Salutation! You are the best psychiatrists. But there is more to the TOWER OF DREAMS than dreammaking. Face your worst nightmares! Only through progress can you obtain the loot of dreams. This does not qualify as a guarantee of loot. See lawyer for details. Or rather, don't.

As you finish reading, the lights shut off, and you hear a chittering laughter from somewhere offscreen. Everyone knows the noise, as the bane of low level adventurers.

Kobolds.

Ah well. You'll just have to walk across the room to the stairs on the other side. How hard could it be?

[Moridain]

Chris sighs at the nightmare room, but the Loot of Dreams sounds ever so appealing.

"I will go first..." she comments, gathering her courage.

Spear in hand and ears open she heads forward at a steady walk, not rushing or concealing her presence at all.

ooc Perception? Note that I have 'scent', and not the kind that requires anti-persperant. Dice Roll: 1d20+1 (12)+1 Total = 13 (13)

[AwesomeEllie]

Fimi Shrugging in the dark, Fimi lets Chris take the lead. Although, if something does happen, there is more or less nothing he can do about anything. Without vision, any attempts at aid are a bit... impossible. So hopefully nothing bad happens to the wasp-woman! That tried to sell him out to a dragon.... Because bad things are Bad, right? After a moment, Fimi remembers that his new form can actually see in the dark, to about 60 feet. Giving a glance about, Fimi prepares for the worst. And by prepares for the worst, he prepares to save his own fur-covered behind.

Standard Action: Fimi prepares to manifest Mind Thrust! With the amount of PP depending on the threat.

[Fragmaster01]

Fimi: The walls of the place have given way to a sort of curtainy setup, where the stone is not actual stone but curtains giving a convincing replication thereof. Like a stage production! Except with kobolds. And traps. Given the way the tower works, you surmise that you're not actually allowed to go backstage.

The floor appears to be tiled in convenient 5x5 chunks, though the tiles have no markings. You imagine that there must be some sort of safe path across, but the kobolds are smart enough not to leave you any clues whatsoever as to what that might be. You also imagine that there are horrible horrible traps on the ones you're not supposed to touch.

Because it's funny. That's why.

[AwesomeEllie]

Fimi Fimi relays this information, allthough without any exterior clues, he's not sure what exactly they're supposed to do except run straight across. And that could be gross-nasty for the squishier people.

[Moridain]

Chris lowers her leg, which had been about to step right out into the trap filled area.

"Oh. Wow, that could have been bad."

She frowns and her butt starts vibrating, "I hate this sensation..." she says as a bit of light flows off and into the darkness of the room.

As the light flows she reaches out tentatively with her spear, poking the ground she was about to touch then stepping away in case it explodes.

[AwesomeEllie]

Fimi "I also have a guinea pig that can test for magical traps for us. We only get one chance for that, though." Fimi shrugs. Not the best idea ever, but it might come in handy. That's why he picked up the damn thing to begin with.

[Fragmaster01]

Chris: The first square, to the right of the blue token, is NOT TRAPPED. This makes sense, because you'd have to be able to get out into the room before the path goes wobbly.

The kobolds are snickering at you. Haha. Butts.

[AwesomeEllie]

Fimi Hearing the kobolds snicker at his stingered companion, Fimi felt the need to indirectly protect her-him, which would of course display his innate superiority. Squeezing up to Chris, Fimi ruffles through the folds and draws the rodent that he had previously picked up, but yet to find a use for. Today, it would have a use! Closing his eyes in order to hide how hard he was rolling them, Fimi twitches his nose, twitches his tail, and leaps into a series of squeaks and hisses, talking to the 'pig in a language it should understand. "Hello, my dear and loyal companion. Today, I have a minor task for you, my friend. I am about to set you down. Once I do so, I need you to move over to the base of those stairs over there. I will then promptly follow. I'm afraid it's the only way, unfortunately. Kobolds guard this room, and you know how furless humanoids are, am I right?" While "dear and loyal companion" was a bit of a stretch, the rest was quite true. Fimi just conveniently left out WHY he wanted the mini-rodent to go first. Hopefully it didn't speak or read common!

 

Fimi uses Diplomancy!

The rodent gets not 5 feet out before a net of energy swoops him up into the rafters with a SQUEAK! The kobolds appreciate your contribution, and wish you to know that your pet will be loved in its new home. All the pettings.

You have lost the passive bonus against Fear from your guinea pig, as he lives with the lizards now.
