==== [Vermik Trapping For the Arena] ====     A careful wandshot leaves the woodeater grub alive but incapacitated, knocked onto it's back. It twists and writhes on the ground in something that seems like agony, the lack of any sound or expression on it's insectile face somehow making the spectacle more eerie. Korrigath advances around the corner and comes face to face with two Vermik at the far end. Both creatures hiss and rush at the massive invader of their tunnels, but are brought up short just in time by thinnest strains of a new shrieker thrown by Remmvi.

"I heard a yelp; anything I should know about?" "Yeah there's some kinda fethin' giant spider in this part of this crypt, I punched it one and it scuttled off deeper thataway." Darcy grumbled, gesturing to the eastern crypt and adjusting his hand bandages to cover the fresh lacerations on his arm. "So I'd recommend you stay right there for the moment and I'll go fish the bugger out. Stab man can you keep a crossbow on that bottom entrance there? I'll go through the top." Heading back through the door, Darcy took a deep breath and dashed through the open door into eastern crypt arms raised in pre-emptive defence. >Action: Quick Recovery (+2 HP) >Move: 3E, 2N, 1E >Level Up!< +1 VIT +1 Climbing +1 Hand-to-Hand Rank

Nothing can be heard besides the movement of the door itself on lightly rusted hinges. On the other side of the room, the sluice control wheel turns easily, and seems to be in fine working order.

Seauffer Leuppah - [ SCOURGE OF THE PASTURELANDS ] The crossbow bolt Seauffer volleyed downrange thrummed through the air as it passed her allies and sunk into the hide of the snarling Vermik she'd targeted by the brook. The bolt-pierced critter yelped and recoiled in such a pitiful way that Seauffer couldn't blame it for trying to attack Camryn Chase, who'd gotten close to it and intended to attack too. "Tch~" the Tuk girl tisked, and she slung her borrowed crossbow over her shoulder to draw her bloodied, gleaming blade. "This'un's mine - have mercy," Seauffer swore, as she stepped past her ally Camryn to cut short the poor creature's pain. Seauffer: > Move: 4S. > Action: Attack W Vermik with Militia Longsword!

[ ===== TREASURE HUNTING AT THE BARROWS ===== ]    Mirielle's nose wrinkles under her face cover. "A godsdamned weaver," she sighs. "There wasn't one the last time we were poking around, or I'd've warned you, Sorry. Keep on your toes, a weaver's no joke. They can get you from a distance, but they're maybe even worse close up. Loarn can tell you." The Tuur holds up his right forearm, the bottom of which is etched with four raised, parallels scars, and two puncture marks. "Not poisonous, at least." He says, with a snort. Darcy cautiously moves forward, taking a moment to catch his breath and steel himself. He edges past a crooked, badly decayed wooden door, seized on hinges that have become solid blocks of rust. The room ahead is dim and deathly quiet. The large stone block by his right shoulder rises from floor to ceiling and does not appear to be another sarcophagus, but rather some kind of ornamental arch. Bobby-Jack warily moves up behind him. His attention drifts to the veil of spiderwebs where the Silkweaver once laid in wait, (Detection:##+3) and notices round clumps the size of lemons secured to them. (Creature Lore: ##+0) He recalls having heard somewhere that those are the eggs of the Weaver, though they will grow to the size of large coconuts before they are ready to hatch. ((It is conceivable that you could take these eggs with you and sell them to interested parties such as the Arena, or an animal trainer back in Barrican. There are 5 in total, you can harvest any number using an Action. When harvesting an egg there is a [ 40% - (5*Creature Lore) ] chance you will ruin it.)) While the eggs pose no danger as they are, something itches in Bobby-Jack's skull at the thought of them, concentrating on that feeling, he pulls one more half-forgotten fact to the surface; Unlike many other varietals of giant spiders, he recalls, both male and female Silkweavers remain to guard the eggs until hey hatch.  ----------------------------------------------- Clove >--> Grub (5)(-0 Armor)( 5 damage) Gharoch ---O Grub (2)(+2 Bonus)(-0 Armor)(4 damage) ----------------------------------------------- Grub >>>> Gharoch (1) :automiss:

==== [Vermik Trapping For the Arena] ==== Witchlily's attack knocks the Woodeater akilter, and it flops senselessly around on the loose dirt floor. Slid steps out and takes his shot, followed a moment later by Remmvi. The two bolts strike deep and the Woodeater Grub flinches back, drops, and then -pop-'s in a noxious burst of reeking green mist. At this range it is enough to elicit a gag or two, but does not cause any serious harm. Meanwhile Korrigath cracks his book and takes a few quick notes on the incapacitated Woodeater Grub, the giant insect laying accommodatingly still as it seems to slip into shock. Remmvi pinches her sensitive nose closed in between reloading her crossbow and readying another Screecher, as the thin wail of the last one begins to die down. At the edge of the device's range, the Vermik press forward as close as they are able to bear. "I will be throwing another to far northeast!" Remmvi announces, her voice extra squeaky on account of her tiny fingers still clamped over her nose. "Watch out for the ones in the south tunnel, or they will be biting our behinds!"

Bobby Jack - The Barrows Bobby-Jack halts as his eyes happen upon the eggs concealed in the webbing. They were familiar. 'Not a big fan of unknown woodland caves like this...' "...One more thing", the man speaks in a somewhat drawn out way, "Eggs. And these things nest in pairs. Don't ask me how I know, but I do." 'No one here is, moron. But it's either this or sleeping in the open with the rangers on our rear end.' "The eggs sell for a nice bit to monster tamers or weird eccentrics. Not a huge bit, but a nice one. Hold." The man gets over to the eggs and kneels, using his dirk to cut the sacks holding the goods open, accidentally rupturing one but getting the rest in good condition. He sets them on a bit of cloth and ties them to a neat bundle, and places them in his backpack.

"Xelek, just... keep yourself in working order too, okay?" Xelek pauses at hearing this, searching for words. "...I do not seek to die unworthy. But the will of the gods is what it shall be. It is my place to be a shield, to offer my own lifeblood to be spilled in the place of others. I will not fail in this." He plods ahead into the next room, scanning for potential dangers.

===== [ CLEARING THE CISTERNS ] ===== The moment that Nell and Xelek step into the room, the water is cut by the scaled bodies of several Monitors, propelled across the surface with astonishing swiftness by their thrashing tails. In a matter of heartbeats two have drawn close enough to snap at Xelek from the shallows. Some distance away, the opposite door swings open on oily hinges to reveal yet another still, deep pool, perturbed only by the lazy undulations of a few clear slimes. A bridge crosses one of the narrower parts, and appears to lead to an upwards stairway that presumable leads back to the surface, though it is grated off.

Seauffer Leuppah - [ SCOURGE OF THE PASTURELANDS ] Snicker-snack went the vorpal edge of the Tuk's blade, and the Vermik-slayer Seauffer was briefly mesmerized by the look of placid awe on the Vermik's face as the creature's freshly-decapitated head arced lazily through the air and dropped into the glittering stream beyond with a satisfying *ker-plunk*. "Welp~!" the Tuk sighed, and she looked around to assess her teammates for signs of any major scrapes. "Good'a time as any ta' take a breather a'fore we break up that blighted shed, eyah?" Seauffer suggested, searching her purse for some spare silks or linens to wipe off her blade as she walked. Strolling along the northernmost row of the wheatfields, Seauffer Leuppah crooned to herself while she cleaned some of the ichorous Vermik blood from the sword her father gave her.

==== [Vermik Trapping For the Arena] ==== Korrigath, pushing forward, siezes a moment of opportunity to make more notes about a Vermik, it's tattered ears flattened against it's skull, teeth bared and hissing at the edge of the screecher's radius. Just as it looks as though the creature has steeled itself to take a bite at the scribbling Tuur despite the pain of advancing, a fresh device plops down into the dirt next to it and begins a fresh nearly inaudible whistle. The collection of rodents turn and flee in unison, piling up in the tunnel as they attempt to escape the sound that tears at their eardrums. The ones already near the exit balk as they realize something is amiss outside, but are forced forward regardless by the mass pressing behind them. "Good, good!" Remmvi clicks her tooth in satisfaction. "We are having some progress now!" To the south, Witchlily throws a device of her own. Though she is less adept at tuning the device for maximum effect, the sound is still enough to drive the Vermik from the southern tunnels and further east. ((The object S of Slid is just a corpse and is passable, so no need to axe it; if you want to retcon you action this round I'll see what I can do about amending it. ))

Bobby Jack - The Barrows Not long after he is done with the eggs, Bobby-Jack is startled by a yell from the chamber behind him. He makes his way in with relative haste, crossbow at the ready, but soon clicks his tongue in annoyance as he sees a spider leg peeking from behind the corner. The beasts were in a good spot. He couldn't possibly get a firing angle in these tight quarters without getting pounced, and if he was forced to go mano a mano, he'd rather do it here where the corridor was too tight for the pair to take him on together. He weighed his options for a few seconds, until finally resigning himself to using his last bomb. They were expensive, sure, but unlike with the crossbow, he could actually lob the bomb past the corner somewhere near the spiders without exposing himself. This kind of thing was exactly what they were for. A few familiar clicks follow as he sets the clockwork fuse between his thumb and index, and sends the bomb on its merry way.
