Re: DaleOfShadows: Maztica, 14 Eleasis

 

Tabby was TERRIFIED of stumbling into a trap. When her parents were adventurers, her mother's job was to ensure her party did not fall into a deadly trap or alert monsters. She would tell the young Tabaxi horror stories of the traps she would see that had taken the lives of previous adventuring groups. There were horrible pits that we opened up sending people into spiked traps. There were giant mouse traps that would snap people's heads off!? Ones that would drop heavy anvils on their heads! And ones that would send poison darts flying!

For now, she will stay with the bard and watch his back. She will also randomly scan the room. (Perception +6). She will not touch anything or even give anything a dirty look. She will keep her hands at her sides. She will think only good thoughts. Traps do not hurt good kitties and she was a good kitty!

"Good Morning Boo.", Tabby whispered as she rubbed her eyes. She was able to get a little bit of rest and thankfully the creepy undead decided to sleep in for the day. Once she was on her feet, she scooped up her backpack and placed it on her back.

OOC: Have Brother Ashley get behind North. Tabby will get behind him. Or Flynn. She does not want to be at the end, fearing undead or other monsters will grab her by her tail. She believes Cerina will be much harder to drag away than the Tabaxi.

Sweet William?suggests returning to the jungle cat room after a short rest.


Opening the door from the burial chamber back to the corridor, you notice the pungent odor of burnt hair. Crossing the hall to the short door, the Half-Orc opens it and the burning smell gets stronger. No smoke or flames can be seen.


The tunnel back to the secret door from the Wildcat room is only 3 feet high so everyone but?North?has to crawl.


In what order do you travel?

OOC- you crawl to the Secret door in the lower left corner of the image.


And what do you do?

Sweet William goes in first. He will chop to bits the first stuffed feline he encounters and keep chopping until they are all destroyed.

She probably purrs in her sleep.

Sweet William grins nastily. ¡°Let¡¯s go tear some shit up!¡±

Flynn?ponders the water girl¡¯s message about the Court of Cemanahuac.


Cemanahuac pronounced Say-man-AH-wok, in ancient Payit means?a place surrounded by water. Flynn vaguely recalls a very long and somewhat dull epic told by a cloistered cult of Moon Druids in the Snowflake Mountains about the court and a giant slug, the prideful daughter of the moon. The cult was one of the few places in the realms where Flynn wasn¡¯t physically attracted to anyone at all.


No, wait. Not that message. S?t?. The evil Bat-God of disease and plague. Camazotz. That¡¯s the one. ´Ü?³Ù³ú¨ª±ô?³ó?.


Fenn?had previously mentioned no familiarity with the name, but?²Ñ¾±°ù²¹¡¯²õ?eyes light up at its mention.?


¡°Zotzilaha, called Camazotz in Faerunian common, is the Payit god of bats and horrible things that fly in the night,¡± she explains. ¡°He also holds influence over their underworld, and is associated with disease and plague. He is venerated as a god and worshipped as a protector of crops, sending bats to eat ravenous insects and diseases to kill them off. Some tribes also worship him as God of Fire and believe he lives deep in the volcano.¡±


Brother Ashley?frowns. ¡°God of bats, plague, and fire? Sounds like a wonderful bloke.¡±


¡°Don¡¯t forget death and the underworld,¡± the Dragonborn,?Kallan, adds.


¡°When the Amnian ships began arriving in the last century, they considered Sotz to be an evil deity, but the Payit don¡¯t think that way,¡±?Mira?continues. ¡°They view bats, fire, and death to be parts of nature and common life. To them, he¡¯s just like the Sun God, Water Goddess, and the rest.¡± Her mind wanders momentarily. ¡°Imagine actually meeting a god,¡± she whispers in awe with a wide grin.


Sweet William?ponders the next move. Just outside this room is the 45 foot wide, 10 foot across empty corridor with the door leading back to the secret door in the wildcat jungle room.

You didn¡¯t get a good look due to all the attacking wildcats, but the wildcat jungle room did have several doors around it.
