Re: Off we go...
Ulwe dives into the dusty alcove, sundering the bones of anient lunars. Unceremoniously, he dumps the dessicated body to the floor. He takes a femur and wraps it in the shroud which formerly encased it. He makes as many make-shift torches as he can in his turn.
[Ulwe manages to make two shoddy but functional torches. Those around him can make use of those brands on their turn. -GM]

Re: Off we go...
Pogar will follow suit with Ulwe and will start making torches as best he can.

Re: Off we go...
Draxim pulls out his winter blanket soaks it with oil, gets it burning, and drops it in the path of the creeping darkleech. He then goes about making more torches.

Re: Off we go...
Pogar turns and pulls out a couple more femurs from the nearest niche and, wrapping them in dry corpse robes, makes a pair of functional torches. Draxim is more direct and simply lays a flaming slab of wool in front of the beast. This alone, in fact, keeps him and Pogar from being entirely engulfed by the darkleech. The thing immediately recoils from the blazing blanket, reaching out a few tentative pseudopods, looking for a way around it.

Re: Off we go...
Khelzhad barks some dwarvish at the beards in the front line: "Forge a path back in using the torches and pour the oil in a line as you go, then light it - it will act as a barrier and should allow us to pass."
While the others are busy, Khelzhad keeps his crossbow aimed at the passage in the north wall, and avoids eye contact with the spirit of the earth.

[Madragar, Atan, Janes.]
[Khelzhad can set up a trigger to shoot at anything other than the elemental that he sees in the vicinity of the northeastern corridor. Otherwise his action is wasted.]

Re: Off we go...
Atan slings his bow across his shoulder and gladly accepts Ulwes improvised torch. With a deft move Atan lights it upon Draxims woolen fire and thrusts it at the darkleetch.
[OOC: Atan takes the torch and swings at the darkleetch.

Re: Off we go...
The black beast's flesh sizzles and pops like oil poured onto a hot skillet when Atan hits it with his improvised torch. Now pockmarked with bubbling wounds, the darkleech vomits a cloud of noxious vapors into the air. Atan ducks low to avoid the heinous stench.

Re: Off we go...
[Whitney: Madragar is out of spells, other than one remaining cantrip. He has used the book. He has used a cantrip (just a moment ago) to create the fire that everyone is using.]
[Scott - Could you please update the map? I'm thinking that Madragar would like to stop futzing with the darkleech and look for another route.]

Pogar will start feeling around the wall to see if there are any hidden doors.

Re: Off we go...
[How's this?....] Madragar and Janes grab torches from Ulwe, ignite them from Khelzhad's blaze, and throw their firey missiles at the advancing blob.

[Hold on. Did we not discover, a room or two ago, an alternate route? Pogar investigated a door that was shut, no?]

[True. It's currently on the other side of the elemental, however. I've updated the map to show all parts of the catacombs that the party has explored.]

Re: Off we go...
Madragar flings one of Ulwe's torches at the Darkleech and yells "We have not much time, gentlemen! We must fight through the darkleech or the elemental, and quickly, or perish in the smoke."

Re: Off we go...
Keeping his eye on the hulking earth beast just a few yards away, Janes also grabs a torch from Ulwe, lights it, and hurls it at the southwestern doorway. Brae is also not above defiling the Lunar graves in the current situation and lends his own hastily prepared torch to the volley.
Neither he nor Madragar or Janes can realistically miss the massive carpet of black ooze and both torches ignite the semi-flammable skin of the darkleech. The creature cannot scream, but its motion speaks volumes as the quivering mass writhes and shudders under the fiery touch. Billowing clouds of thick grey-green gas explode outward and up, filling the doorway and rushing up to the ceiling. The roof of the gallery is already begining to fill with black smoke and the much more dangerous stinking vapor.
Draxim's assailant fires again, popping out from behind the cover of the doorway to the south and then back out of sight. The arrow strikes the dwarf in the right arm, partially piercing through his mail shirt and into the flesh beneath. Grimacing from the painful injury, Draxim pulls the arrow contemptuously from the wound. His eyes go wide, however, when a long strand of purplish liquid comes along with it, stretching momentarily from the arrowhead to his arm before dripping onto the floor.
"Poison," Draxim hisses.
[In Moagara, all poisons have an onset time. Contact poisons that are transmitted through the blood have onset times measured in rounds. Ingested poisons have onset times measured in minutes or hours.]

Re: Off we go...
Atan uses his torch in hand to further drive the creature backwards.
[OOC: Can Atan move 2 SW and 1 SE without falling into the darkleetch? If so then Atan will move 2 SW and 1 SE then attack the darkleetch with the torch.
Base Attack +4

[He could do that, but he'd be moving through its threatened area and draw an AoO. -GM]
