Doing it! What next?

Basically what you want to do is spread it around on the bandages so that while the wound is bound, the poultice is also applied to the wound.

>>408464
remove bendage and shirt, apply poltice and cover it with bendages

Hey. I kinda blanked out for a minute there. Forgot the wound hadn't closed and the stress of managing my magical power must have irritated it.

This poultice will take a while to kick in, so I'm gonna say hello to the new Shoulderarm.

Much cooler than Elbowarm, I think.

yeah. let's you do a full three things at once instead of two and a half or so with elbow arm.

Would you be able to form/melt ice in the cracks to erode the stone?

Get dude to hammer at the edge of the cracks, make more ice, melt ice, repeat. This might take a bit.

>>408808
More ice magic? You can manipulate ice as well as creating it, right?

don't even need to hammer. melt it and add more water and freeze it again
it takes forever for nature to do it because nature has to freeze in winter and melt in spring so it takes a long time to do a cycle. magic lets you do it crazy fast

Alright. We crawled in. It's dark in here and it smells like sewage. There are two paths, one which leads into darkness and one that ends in what looks like a dark pit. I think I can hear water down there, but there's no telling how deep it is.

Turn left.

The one that isn't a hole.

Would it be plausible to climb up a vertical tunnel?

I can't climb a vertical tunnel, and our goal isn't really to go 'up' anyway. At least, I don't think that's our goal.

After turning left, we end up in a hallway which leads to a gentle downward slope and some light.

Should we proceed?

You will probably need some weapons and stuff before you can successfully make your escape.

And yes, carefully go examine the lighted tunnel.

Stuff like; what do you want, can we just pass though, please don't bite us with your hallucinogenic venom.

Aww man. What should I tell him? I haven't even found a bowl to use yet.

>>409453
Ask him where a kitchen is. Explain that as it is, you can't get back to the only place you knew your way around.

Sorry spider, but I don't know how to get to the kitchen from where we are. Care to point us in that direction?

Well, the first step there would be to get through the next room. But I'm not sure you want that.

Why is that?

There's someone in there. They aren't going to be friendly.

Who?

A man. Not the Bossman. That's all I can say for sure.

Does he know how all those intact skeletons got there?

well, what's the next path around the room the man is in?

File 133657575671.png - (73.70KB , 601x583 , 119.png )

Do you know how those skeletons got there?

Perhaps a tiny little spider fell from the ceiling and nipped some travelers on the neck.

Perhaps this bite threw their minds into feverish, bed-wetting nightmares.

Perhaps this nightmare allowed the spider to, over the course of several days, suck out all the nutrients their slowly rotting bodies could provide.

Perhaps years have passed since then, and the remains have all rotted to nothing.

Maybe this spider was really, really hungry that day. I know some hungry spiders.

I'm one of them.

Or maybe the dude in the next room dumped them here.

He's... Making a laughing noise. How the fuck does a spider know how to laugh? I'm going to refrain from telling Garth that little tale. He looks freaked out enough as it is.

Is there a way around the room?

None that I'm aware of, though surely you've seen another way on your travels.

If we go into the next room, are there other exits?

Yes. Let's talk about that when we get there, shall we?

>>409984
Right. Onwards.

>>409984
This fellow sound on the level, let ask him (or her, I don't know how to tell a spiders gender) if he would like to join us? He gets full rights on any flys we find.

"We should move on ahead, Garth. Apparently, there's a guy in the next room over that seems hostile, according to the spider."

"O-okay. How can we prepare before we go in?"

Bone club.

At least it did not bite us. Lets see if one of the leg bones makes a good club and then go though the door

Really you would probably be better off with a rock than with a bone. Dried out bones are quite lightweight.
You should, however, scatter the bones of those skeletons a bit, in case someone tries to animate them later.

It's either that or wait for a bit to make sure you're healed enough to use gravity magic again.

"I'm kind of nervous about this," I say, lifting up my shiny new bone mace. The light from beneath the door went out a while ago, but I still hear occasional scuffling past the threshold.

"I'm not," Bertha replies, cracking her knuckles. "Whatever's back there probably won't be expecting us to come in there and beat the crap out of it. There's not gonna be another swarm of vicious, poisonous spiders back there. It's probably some dumb minions, and we can handle those."

I nod slowly, but I'm not convinced.

This is not good. This is not good.

just help the girl and stop talking. this guy seems to be too late anyway. use gravity on knife on table behind him and fling it towards him.

necromancers always need more corpses. and yours will do nicely. jesus. seriously. you are in the lair of a evil dude. 99% sure everyone is evil.

Your wound was healed by that potion, right? If so, use grav magic to flip the table (the side facing necro-guy going upwards, so it doesn't fling Bertha into his line of fire).

He hasn't cast anything yet except for that spell he used on the corpse. It's crawling towards us now.

You can give Bertha some ideas too, just saying!

Bertha: Push the table to the side (towards where the necromancer is aiming), and launch an ice spike from the other side.
