PBA 033d

You guys go out into the hall.

[6:26:16 PM] Wynn: Wynn starts backtracking towards the pods first.

[6:27:19 PM] *** Canto removed Berin from this conversation. ***

[6:28:17 PM] Canto: Okay. Roll Search.

[6:28:25 PM] Nilani: Nilani accompanies Wynn, looking back often.

[6:28:38 PM] Wynn: ((nice! Wasted 20.))

[6:30:53 PM] Canto: Nilani?

[6:33:30 PM] Canto: You go back toward the pod room, but don't spot anything out of the ordinary. Up ahead, though, the Forest Door is open.

[6:33:54 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns and walks a bit faster to the door.

[6:34:45 PM] Nilani: Nilani follows, pausing a bit before entering the forest to look around cautiously.

[6:35:00 PM] Wynn: Wynn enters, looks around and calls, "Talas?"

[6:37:58 PM] Canto: No answer!

[6:38:38 PM] Wynn: Wynn starts walking in. "Talas? Janis? Shol? Raven? Anyone?"

[6:42:34 PM] Canto: No one responds! But then it's a pretty big place.

[6:42:37 PM] Canto: Roll notice.

[6:42:50 PM] Wynn: ((8.))

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:42:55 PM] Nilani: (( 18 ))

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:44:18 PM] Canto: Did Nilani go into the Forest?

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:44:30 PM] Nilani: ((yeh.))

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:44:59 PM] Canto: She sees some blood near a pile of rocks off to the right.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:45:17 PM] Nilani: Nilani points out the blood to Wynn

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:45:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn scowls and heads in that direction.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:46:08 PM] Nilani: Nilani glances out the door one last time and follows Wynn

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:46:38 PM] Wynn: Wynn stops and glares. "Show yourself."

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:47:47 PM] Canto: No response!

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:48:24 PM] Wynn: Wynn steps towards the area, looking for anything amiss.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:48:54 PM] Wynn: ((10 in case you wanted a search))

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:49:01 PM] Canto: Just a lot of blood. As you get closer, you see it all over the ground around the area behind the rocks, which is still out of view.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:49:28 PM] Wynn: Wynn raises her shield a bit and continues towards the rocks to look behind them.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:50:45 PM] Nilani: Nilani follows, looking around worriedly.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:50:46 PM] Canto: It's gross! Imagine, if you will, a dwarf without bones, and a huge hole in his chest.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:51:09 PM] Wynn: ...Well that's new.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:51:18 PM] Wynn: Any ideas, Nilani?

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:52:52 PM] Nilani: More than you'd think. Hostile horned beast, something pulling his skeleton out through his chest, necromancer...

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:53:03 PM] Wynn: Something evil was inside him.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:53:11 PM] Wynn: Explains why he claimed he didn't know.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:53:38 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks around the area for trails or other residual evil.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:53:39 PM] Nilani: I hope it's not contagious.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:53:50 PM] Wynn: Maybe you should go alert the others.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:54:25 PM | Edited 6:54:30 PM] Wynn: ....I'll let you decide whether to tell Nation Talas isn't available.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:55:33 PM] Nilani: Nilani hesitates for a bit "Just don't go throwing yourself at the unnamed evil until I get back."

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:55:50 PM] Nilani: Nilani heads off to go warn the others.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:56:50 PM] Wynn: Wynn examines the dwarf, the wound, and the area surrounding him carefully, trying to figure out what it was or where it went.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:57:07 PM] Canto: Make another search roll.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:57:24 PM] Wynn: ((19. mwahahah))

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:58:09 PM] Canto: Whatever pulled itself out of the dwarf made a mess. The blood trail, before it ends, seems to point back to the ship rather than deeper into the Forest.

<p class="MsoNormal">[6:58:44 PM] Wynn: Wynn curses and heads back into the ship.

<p class="MsoNormal">[7:00:17 PM] Wynn: Wynn calls to Nation as soon as she's back inside the door. "Nation? Do you sense anything different aboard? It's not in the dwarf anymore."

<p class="MsoNormal">[7:00:37 PM] Canto: Nation's voice:  Whatever it is, it's still avoiding my sensors.

<p class="MsoNormal">[7:01:19 PM] Wynn: Wynn jogs to the galley.
