Slip

Slip feels the tubular shape; if she can pick it up she will and bring it to her party, but if if she can't (as in it's affixed to the floor or something) then she'll take mental note of its location and continue scouting along the walls with the intention of establishing the perimeter of the room.

"Who said anything about waste?" Fauk moves into the room and sweeps up the (more or less intact) rations and puts them in his backpack.

Trebbelos watches Fauk and suddenly his belly stops gurgling.

Slip picks up the tubular object. Before she returns to the light she releases that it is a bone. There is bits of meat yet attached.

Bert keeps watch, looking behind and all around for danger. Then he spies movement above. Something crawling from the darkness down the pillar nearest Fauk! Like a giant caterpillar or something!

Actions?

Bert - Priest

Bert shakes his head, "I don't like this. We should go in here and see what's going on." Bert strides in with his torch held high.

Slip hurries back to the party to show the carnage she's carrying; in a loud whisper, "I think we've got company!"

Tor charges into the room, greatsword drawn. If the creature is close to Slip, he'll strike, regardless of what it is. If it's not too, close, then he'll wait in order to get a better look at it.

OC: When you said tubular, Paul, all I could think of was the '80s expression "totally tubular!" :)

Slip drops the bit of carrion as the crawler makes it way down the pillar column. It's close to Fauk, who has just put away the bait.

The creature looks like a worm or centipede, although it's taller than a gnome and longer than a grown man is tall by half.

Image

It has long tentacles which whip out at Fauk and Trebbelos as it speeds its way down.

Neither side is surprised. Initiative: worm-thingie 6, party 4. Monster has initiative!

The creature attacks (1-4 Trebb, 5-8 Fauk, 2) Trebbelos, its tentacles whipping out like... well, whips.
Image

attack 9, miss

Tor and Fauk have weapons ready.

Tor attacks with his great sword (13, hit, 3dmg) and black blood sprays widely.

Fauk swings (4, miss) his two-handed sword whooshing by.

Trebbelos swings his torch (20, hit, 3dmg) and the stench of burning carrion crawler makes your stomaches turn.

Slip and Bert get ready to strike next round!

Fauk cries the battle cry of his people to the north! His two-handed sword swings in a deadly arc at the creature!

Slip
Image

Slip flattens her back against the nearest column and watches in horror as the giant insect scurries itself down the pillar toward Fauk & Trebbelos!

Spinning around the column, she nocks an arrow and fires at the back-end of the creature while its tentacled face lunges at the two men.

Tor, his bloodlust awakened, strikes at the carrion crawler once again.

OC: It's fun taking a whack at creatures not covered by the OGL.
