Monty asked Dread to get a lot of firewood. "We can burn the poison out of him. Dwarves can take a lot of heat, but I bet the poison can't. It will break down and become inert, hopefully before the dwarf does. We can take turns tending him, watching for signs and ensuring that we don't kill him in the process."

"Won't it scorch his beard?" I said as I wnt out to get the firewood.

Monty giggled weakly. "A hairless chin is the least of his worries."

Drago · #84 June 30th, 2001, 08:37 PM

Drago, Tom and the grounds creature huddled together silently. "Be very, very quiet" Drago whispered. "I have the ability to make myself and those in proximity to me invisible" the grounds creature replied. "Well why don't you go ahead and do that already then" Tom states emphatically.
He removes a few runes ftom a small bag he is carrying and begins chanting. He finishes just before the guard appears. He looks straight at them and sees nothing. Sampers calls out, "No one here captain. All is well."

I packed the fireplace to the limit, and kept a good amount of logs nearby. Under monty's instructions, I dragged the dwarf near by the scorching heat, after throwing a bucketfull of water on him. I had him placed along the fire, and I kept water by.

"Use the water only when you see him burn, Dread."

"Can I use it on me, as well?", I said as I got drenched in a bucket.

"Why don't you take you cloak, Dread?"

I came to him, staring in the eyes a few inches apart. "You wouldn't want me to take off my cloak, monty. Trust me."

The smell of burning hair got me back to my job in no time. It was like working a furnace: keep the fire hot, and avoiding too much burn on the roasting dwarf.

After some time (it seemed hours), something oily started to drip from the dwarf's fingers. I got a casserole to catch it, but it burned it through, and the stone below.

Before I could get a glass container it had ceased, and the dwarf was giving out life signs again.

"Get him away!", monty shouted.

I picked up a bucket of water, poured it on him, and rolled him away.

Monty got up and looked him over.

"The poison's gone. Good. Dread, can you tend to his burns? I still need to recover."

"Sure thing."

I got a flask of Midael's unguent and started applying to his burns. Midael's unguent is a rather useful thing, when dealing with burns, though it has a drawback: your subject usually wakes up in need of some alcohol, and more often than not, a few pints of strong beer...

That meant sending the 2 back to the pub, which we managed. I asked some forest help to get them closely guarded, and we waited back for our two adventuring scouts...

Drago and the party continue walking. They pass by the kitchen of the manor. "I am very hungry" the grounds creature says. Tom and Drago agree with him to get a quick bite to eat. There are several pasties and assorted meats in the kitchen. The food is tantalizing.

"I can use the lantern I gave them to talk to them, monty. But I'm afraid we could put those 2, plus the minion in danger. What do you think?"

"what do you want to tell them?" Monty said to VampiricDread. "The great news that we now are less than we were?" Monty walked over to the only window of the hut. "Don't get them down. Let them have their fun and find out when they get back." "You know what, we might want to join them. Look outside, Dread. The clouds are moving in..."

Downunder Tom · #90 July 7th, 2001, 05:19 AM

Tom looks around and notices some small cooking devices that have been created by the new owners, he goes to pick them up, but he is told to leave them as they don't want them finding missing items and knowing that some has entered the manor until there ready too. They do pickup a little extra food for later as there is enough to feed a army in this kitchen and it won't be missed.

In a big pot on the stove there is some kind of thick soup or stew that smells awlfull, Draco finds some powder that he is carrying and pours it into the mix and stirs it in, he says that will take care of them.They will either be too sick or too sleepy to worry about us. It won't reaaly hurt them, will Last long enough for us to to what we have to and they won't be able to work out what was the cause and there is no cure that they have.
