Fungi Fodel Bersk
As he stares out into the caprpeted room Fodel stops. He sighs in furstration as this probably another opponent the fighting cleric will have to steer clear off.

Strange stuff Enkhild Ironfist
Enkhild stops along with Fodel at the next room, but does not enter. The strange flooring reminds him of the fungus from the other room. "Ye'll not be getting me twice with the same trick..." His eyes go to the rafters, looking for the tell-tale signs of more of those icky slimy gooey creatures. [SPOT: 13]
Kivara stays on guard Kivara Sunchild
Kivara will remain "on guard" to watch the grop's back should anything be approaching while the others have their attention turned towards the door and room contents ... Furthermore, if Enkhild shows any discomfort at being with sheild, Kivara will let him use hers since he is at the forrunning of any assult to come ... (Let me know if he shows signs of missing the shield; Kivara will then offer it and he can use it).
Nothing DM
Nothing appears to be on the celing. The fungus is different than the mold in the last room.
Cautious dwarf Enkhild Ironfist
Gripping his waraxe in both hands, the dwarf steps forward into the doorway, scanning about with his darkvision, attempting to determine the size, and nature of the room. [ooc: Furniture? Chests? Boxes? Staircase? Anything at all that marks it differently from a bare room with fungus in it?] Glancing down at the fungus on the ground, Enkhild tries to see if he recognizes it. "Ian, yer always talking about molds and slimes... do ye recognize this stuff?"
Trappings DM
None. The only difference is this room has a bare earth floor, whereas the other had a stone floor.

fun with gus Ian
Ian steps foward and squats down to take a better look "Hmmmm, let me think for a moment...."
the doorway Kendrick Lokian
"Here, why don't you try my torch and see if anything moves."
It looks empty Enkhild Ironfist
Enkhild turns to the others. "Thank you for the torch offer, but the room appears to be empty except for the fungus. I don't believe there's any reason for us to be wasting time looking for moving plants. Unless some of you have some grudges against moving plants..." Enkhild laughs and steps back from the doorway, letting any who are interested in the fungus-filled room have their try at the matter.
Well..... Rose
Rose looks into the room but keeps her distance. She listens to Enkhild and the others and then pipes in, "Well, we're supposed to be clearing this place out. If we say it's done and they send people in here and something happens to them I don't hink the counsel would be too happy. We might as well try it.....just to be on the safe side."
Killing plants Enkhild Ironfist
Enkhild shrugs his shoulders, grabbing the proferred torch from Kendrick. "Allright. If you say so, lass. I suppose I wouldn't want it on my conscience if someone were to be eaten by a mushroom. Time to burn some plants!" Enkhild moves back over to where Ian is crouched, and waits for the man's verdict before attempting to sweep through the plants with the torch.
Fodel Fodel Bersk
Fodel motions to Kendrik "I'll take the torch." He hopes that if the fungus gets sporey he can job into hot action

fungus
hmmmmm Ian
Ian studies the fungus" You know this looks very familiar but, I just can't quit place it." Turning to the group"give me a second, I know it will come to me" Ian starts to tap a finger on his chin and try to remember what he knows of the fungus.
ahha!!! Ian
" I remember now! this is often called Correlon's Courage, some adventures eat it to counter fear." Ian goes on with a grin"it's very delicate but, if we are careful not to bruise it, I think there is more than enough for all of us." With that Ian begins to carefully cut the fungas into squares.

Ooooh let me see that Rose
Rose's fascination with plants over rides her sense of self-preservation and she moves in next to Ian. "If you can get the root I might be able to cultivate some of this back at your flat in town." OOC: Only got a 7 on the nature check :/
Hmmm DM
Looking at a sample of thefungus she tries to liken it to flowers. You know the general principle, dark place, but looking at the fungus you are a trifle confused by the differences. Maybe once you get a piece home...
Hmmmmmm Rose
Rose cuts off a corner of her cloak and wets it down with some water from her winskin. "I really have to by some plain old cloth for stuff like this." She thinks to herself as she further ruins her cloak. She takes her fungus square from Ian and gently wraps it up in the damp cloth. She stows it away in her backpack and then stands up. "Shall we see what's behind door number 3?"
back and forth Enkhild Ironfist
Enkhild grumbles as he hands the torch back to Kendrick, once again. He moves back to his position by the next door, where he had been standing before people had started talking about burning down plants and harvesting courage. Harvest courage, bah! he thinks to himself. Courage is on the inside, not in some plant! Gripping his waraxe tightly in both hands, he stands waiting for the others to get into position.
Tastes like chicken Ian
Once finished with the removal, Ian instructs the other about the use of the fungus " If you ever feel an overwhelming fear, you should eat a handful of this and it will help you regain control of you emotions." He hands out shares to whomever wants them. "OK, lets see what else this place has to offer." Ian move along with the group.

Watching. Kivara Sunchild
Kivara is still watching the approachments (ha! made up a new word) for signs of trouble I.E. Kivara continues to watch the group's back. It may seem like nothing, but you'll thank me if something does show up while you're eating your fungus :-)
Fodel reaction Fodel Bersk
Fodel steadies himself. He rember his meditation :true courage comes in the face of danger. He wonders at the idea of a fungus that makes one brave but there are many strange things afoot
The next room DM
Opening the door reveals something that Enkhild is intimately familliar with. This is a collapsed and rotting blacksmith’s shop. There is the usual assortment of crumbling tools in sight. A broken hearth and bellows dominates the back wall. This room is fairly well lit due to the mostly collapsed celing. After a moment with the door open, you hear what sounds like the quiet croak of a frog. OOC: Had to make a slight change in the marching order due to space, put Kivara in a good spot to keep a lookout.

Croaking? Enkhild Ironfist
Though he hears the sound of the croaking, he seems to pay little attention to his surroundings as his eyes are fixed on the broken and ruined pieces of the forge. "Look at this! A disaster!" Enkhild walks straight towards the largest pile of smithing debris, looking through the tools and items, almost near tears. He doesn't seem to even look around him for the source of the croaking, so distraught is he. [SPOT: 3]

Rose moves up to the door and will check out the inside.

Fodel wants to spot Fodel Bersk
Fodel looks around the room curious about the croaking and anything else. He aslo notices nothing unusal. perhaps there is nothing here he thinks
The Blacksmith's Shop DM
As numerous party members enter the shop (please provide coordinates), the croaking continues around you, tho the source cannot be seen. Everywhere you look things are in ruin. Enkhild, reaching the forge and bellows against the back wall, can see that the bellows is smashed beyond repair and the hearth wall is cracked and in a very sad state. Surely it would look worse however had not the talented hands of dwarves work the stone during it's conception. Tables are overturned and cracked or shattered and what once was a fine anvil lies covered with rust and salt from years of neglect under an open roof. Should you (or anyone else) wish to actively search through the debris and broken items, please give me a search check

Kivara on guard Kivara Sunchild
While Kivara is on guard, she makes a Listen check ...
Listening.... Kipler Farwall
** EDITED April 9, 2002, 11:08 am ** "Oh! On guard! Something wicked this way comes!" The gnome blurts out as his ears prick up. Kipler tries to see whats coming off towards the direction of the noise to the west.
From both sides... DM
As Enkhild makes his find, and examines it, the others in the room either keep watch or continue searching. The croaking gets louder for a moment as around the room a number of frogs about a foot long make their way out of the rubble. The frogs are green and have black stripes on their hindquarters. As one perches on a rock and focuses it's eyes on Kendrick it opens it's mouth in a seeming yawn. Unlike a typical frog, this one's mouth is lined with a tow of very sharp looking teeth. From outside, Ian, Kivara and Kipler keep watch. Kipler hears a noise and watches to the west while Kivara sees a troop of skeletons round the corner, their attention focused on the party. After doing any regular posting you may need to do I'll need Init's all around

Oh what a miraculous find! Enkhild Ironfist
Enkhild is completely enraptured by his find amonst the forging tools. Putting his axe against the rubble for a moment, he looks over the impressive forging hammer, admiring it's beauty and magnificient balance. He hears too late the warnings of the others. Spinning around, his darkvision spies the frogs, and it takes him a few seconds to switch the axe with the hammer. Turning to face the strange frogs, Enkhild prepares for battle.

BIC: Kendrick 5-foots down to AA 17, then swings his weapons at the frog directly south of himself. OOC: ^%$#@%^*@# - Should have waited my turn :-(

Frog Pop DM
As Fodel's fists fly and slam into the frog in front of him, it splatters as it is decimated. Pulling his fist back he notices that the frog's skin has left behind a slight film that begins to burn his flesh. Wiping his hand on the wall he manages to get the majority of it off before it can do any damage.
Next DM
Kendrick taking a 5' step to face the frogs, swings but misses as one leaps deftly out if the way.

Kivara turns ! Kivara Sunchild
Kivara realizes that the others seem more than a little preoccupied with something inside. Besides, the way she just yelled, something / someone was bound to hear her so dealing with these skeletons quickly would be best. She moves northwest so as to have a better view of the walking bones that approach. (move to S12 on map) Once there, she then proceeds to pull the sun-face medallion dangling from her belt and hold it forth as she uses it as a focual point for channeled divine energies. (turning rolls to follow) ooc: make the turning damage 11, not 15 as shown on dice results. It is supposed to add 4 to the end total, not to each dice -- I didn't realize how it would do that. Also, if the skeletons are one HD or lowerer, then they will be destroyed rather than turned (as that is less than half Kivara's level).
wait for me Ian
Ian calls after Kivara "hey wait for me!" and starts after her. Ian sees her begin to channel her god power and decides to let her deal with the skeletons. He pulls his hand crossbow and gives Kivara cover. Move to w12 ready action shoot at any skeleton not turned.
Results DM
Kipler's bolt strikes the frog and skewers it, causing it to fall off the small rubble mound. The frog twitches for a moment, but is still soon enough. Outside Kivara boldly makes her way across the courtyard and confronts the skeletons boldly presenting the sun faced medallion. As she focuses, a soft glow encompases her for a moment before spilling forth from the medallion to bathe the undead in Pelor's holy light. The skeletons stop in their tracks, their jaws dropping in what appears to ba a silent, unholy scream. Their jaws agape they crumble to dust, their armor and weapons falling to the ground as the wind blowing in off of the Moonsea causes their ashes to scatter around the courtyard. The round continues in SOKOL KEEP 05
