"I'm Wesley Warwick. Wes. Biscuits and gravy, please, and, um, do you have somewhere I can wash my hands?" Wes stammers. He's prone to stammering, but his player really hates trying to read or type affectations like that. So I'll just say know that he stammers and leave it at that.My avatar!

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 8: Adventures! Thrills! Groceries!
Pyramid of Painful Demise
"Look, Emmy. New toys. Ow! Careful, they sting." The 'ow' is because the speaker, the whip-wielding child-headed ogre, just got hit in the hip with a crossbow bolt. The knife hits the strap of the thick leather apron and bounces off, the enchanted clothing proving superior to the mundane knife.
The other ogre looks up, shifting enough that the knife aimed at it nicks its shoulder as its neck is not where it was when the knife was thrown. Dark red blood trickles down the torturer's neck unnoticed as it raises the branding iron and parrying to the best of its ability. It's quick, but not used to fighting, and Wenomir's assault has forced it on the defensive- for now, at least. The other creature lashes out with its whip, attempting to entangle Wenomir's feet to pull the fighter off-balance enough to create an opening for its compatriot.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Hopefully it was not yet another creature that were immune to poison, there were way too many of those. Still ogres were big creatures so it might take some time for it to work.
Dena holds out her still empty hand and a pair of sun-glasses of all things appear which she quickly puts on as the bolt in her crossbow has been automatically replaced by a golden bolt. This was actually not something she had found in the nexus, these bolts were the reason shaded glass were standard issue for underdark drow soldiers.
The bolt shoots out but before it hits anything it explodes in a blinding light spell intended to blind anyone turned towards it. While it was especially effective against drow it should work against the ogres too. Wenomir is thankfully turned with his back to Dena so hopefully he wouldn't be blinded.

"The fried meat of a pig, please."
Needs the Cat is here, on the kitchen table. In fact, Needs Food Badly has been here, for hours in fact, sitting on that kitchen table, he was just doing so in a reality approximately three cosmic inches to the left of this one. Others may get the sensation that he has been here all along; they just never bothered to notice him there until now. It's okay, Needs understands. He hasn't been moving from this spot at all; he hasn't blinked, nor has his chest expanded or shrunk for breath. It's perfectly understandable that you might've completely overlooked him.

Wenomir nimbly jumps upwards when the lash is swung at his legs, avoiding it by inches. He somersaults past the otjer ogre-like creature, landing behind it, and spins around as he gets up, trying to once again strike at its back. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he steps to the side and makes a lightning-quick jab at its foot. The best thing when facing opponents of such girth is to never stop moving.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

The child-headed ogres aren't immune to poison, just highly resistant; a larger dose might work.
Wenomir's strike slashes at the first child-headed ogre's back is successful, opening a deep gash in its haired back and making contact with its iron-laced bones; the creature isn't paralysed, but the injury most assuredly hurt- the pain increasing when Wenomir follows it up by hacking at its ankle. The mutant creature sits down and starts to cry, tossing the branding iron aside and rubbing its eyes with its vast, hairy hands. The creature sounds like an eight-year-old girl bawling in pain.
The other responds by picking up a jagged-edged knife with an exceedingly sharp serrated blade and hurling it with all its might at Wenomir's head, though the burst of light has nearly blinded it and its aim is correspondingly poor.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Dena would prefer if they spared at least one of these creatures to get some information... or force it to trigger some of the traps in the incredibly trapped corridor. Still, they just needed one of them alive so as the crossbow reloads she simply aims this magically sharp one against the attacking ones throat. These creatures were really bizarre.

Wenomir grits his teeth. It's never easy listening to a small child cry, especially if it's from wounds you dealt. Whoever created those creatures is one sick bastard. He ducks under the blade, twists around to build up momentum, and tries to cleave through the crying monster's skull. He's less pragmatic than Dena and wants to put the misbegotten things out of their misery.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

The sharp crossbow bolt hits the leather apron's straps and lodges in, the enchanted material attracting the bolt to where it will do less damage. It still hurts, but the wound isn't mortal. The blinded creature is still rubbing her eyes and trying to see, so doesn't act this turn.
The weeping one, however, is killed, the creature's flesh turning to stone with its death- possibly trapping Wenomir's axe, though the stone will turn to sand in a few minute's time.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Oh blast, now he killed him. Now who were they going to get information from? The second ogre was still alive but dangerous. But they could ask the prisoners at least. Dena shoots another bolt aimed at the hand the creature was holing it's weapon in.

Wenomir curses and turns towards the other creature with a knife in each hand. But he sees that Dena seems to have the situation in hand, so he instead focuses on freeing his weapon.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

"Door's open!" Vigil shouts from the kitchen, possibly startling Wesley. The front door eases open at the words, avoiding the harsh blow. Once that's done he steps to the side and sets a bottle of liquid handsoap down next to the right half of the double sink. "Help yourself." He says as he puts maple flavored pork sausage in one skillet and a large slab of bacon in another. "Want ham with it or just bacon?" He asks Needs before giving a small smile to Wesley. "If you're not sure about this, why are you here? To impress someone perhaps?" He asks before giving a look back to Needs. "And how about you? Why would you be here?"

Blinking awkwardly, the surviving child-headed ogre has a crossbow bolt embedded in its right hand, causing the creature to squeal in pain and drop its whip. It turns towards Dena, scowling childishly before screaming as it charges towards the drow woman, trying to use its bulk and momentum to plough Dena into the ground.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.
