Chapter 8: A Puzzle

[jstater]

When Grumm finally peeks in, he'll ask "Any problems down there? What's up?"

[Hywaywolf]

"Are you interested in some snake skin boots?" Shybolt looks down at the size of the thing (assuming it was much bigger than a normal serpent) and adds, "And maybe a snake skin pants, shirt and cape to go with the boots. You guys coming down so we can get on with this?"

[Nekron99]

Brother Arven gives a slight shiver, "Ech, there is no way I would wear the skin of a snake, gives me the willys just thinking about it."

OOC: Can we hear Grumm? I know we can see him, even past the illusion, but until he penetrates the portal, he cannot hear us and vice a versa.

[jstater]

Grumm was peeking in the hole, so you should be able to see him - actually, I think you could see him either way.

[Hywaywolf]

Actually, it was his smell that Shybolt noticed first ...

[Sir Bedivere]

Timorel joins the group and says, "Are you fellows done fooling around down there?"

He climbs down the rope to where Shybolt & Arven are.

[jstater]

Grumm will climb down as well.

[Nekron99]

As Grumm alights off the rope and into the cold water, Brother Arven says,"Master Grumm, so glad you could join us." he points to the dead disemboweled snake, "I think we found a former girlfriend of yours."

Brother Arven, if he has found nothing of interest in the water, will stand ready with shield and torch in one hand, mace in the other. He awaits orders.

[jstater]

Grumm gives the cleric a hard stare for a few seconds, and then proceeds across the water and to the exit.

[Solomoriah]

As Grumm and Timorel descended the rope, Brother Arven found, among the various disgusting debris in the water, a skeletal figure clad in rotten leather armor. As he stepped closer to investigate, he kicked something hard beneath the water.
