Hollows Last Hope

[BigPo73]

Magic missile one shot to lizard (4) and one to the wolf (3)

[Aaronmoze]

The lizard falls dead next to its mate and the wolf thing snarls as the missile hits it.

Gemria slashes the wolf again. -2

The wolf switches her attention to you and attacks with her two claws and bite. Luckily the shield protects you.

[BigPo73]

Attack the wolf using short sword. (8,6)

[Aaronmoze]

Your attack slices some fur off of the creature which you now see has remnants of a yellow dress on.

Gemria slashes again but misses. The wolf attacks you once more but can’t seem to hit you.

[BigPo73]

I find my balance and take a nice swing with my short sword (20) and hit my mark (6)

[Aaronmoze]

With amazing skill you are able to put a decent size gash across the creature’s thigh. It yelps in pain and flees out of the south doorway.

[BigPo73]

Ask Gemria about her health before pushing forward.

[Aaronmoze]

”I have a few wounds but I can continue”

You have 17/25 hp and 2 hp of non lethal damage. Your shield spell has expired.

[BigPo73]

Proceed north through the double doors.

[Aaronmoze]

Gemria listens at the doors before opening them. She doesn’t hear anything. With some effort she is able to pull the slightly stuck doors open. This arched chamber contains two rows of statues, one on the east wall and one on the west. The statues to the east depict fearsome dwarven warriors clad in simple plate armor and he ing their warhammers high. Opposite these are statues of dwarves depicted in grotesque caricatures as overly obese, pig-nosed brutes with huge grinning mouths and beady eyes. The western statues stand in two lines, the front kneeling, and both holding sharp, jutting spears leveled at the smiths opposite them. The corpse of a kobold is impaled on the west wall. His limp body sags on the haft of a stone spear,
eye to eye with his statuesque killer.

[BigPo73]

Examine the area where the two groups of statues are facing off. (15)

[BigPo73]

Have Gemria move 2 north

[Aaronmoze]

Gemria cautiously moves north. When she takes her final step you both hear a faint thud. Suddenly, you feel a bit of vertigo and now hear a grinding noise. The room starts to slant toward the spear soldiers! You desperately try to grab for anything to hold onto but as the room reaches 90 degrees you and Gemria fall toward the spears.

You are pierced for -3 hp. Gemria manages to twist at the last minute and avoid the spears.

As you are catching your breath, there is another sound and the hammer wielding statues tumble straight for you! You contort your body just enough that the hammer misses you, but Gemria is smashed hard in the back. G -10

[BigPo73]

Look for safe passage back out of the room (25)

[Aaronmoze]

You can’t seem to work your way out from between the statues. About a minute goes by and yet one more thud is heard. The hammer statues start to retreat to their side of the room and you feel gravity shift again to where it belongs. This of course causes you to fall to the floor.

[BigPo73]

Examine the tile immediately to my north (25)

[Aaronmoze]

For your visualization purposes, you are on the bottom far left square. Gemria is 2 squares north of you.

All of the tiles to the north seem safe though it’s hard to be 100% sure.

[BigPo73]

Have Gemria move one north and I move to where she was

[Aaronmoze]

You move carefully this way until you reach the north wall.

[BigPo73]

Tell Gemria let’s make a break for the door.

[Aaronmoze]

You and Gemria stumble through the north doors. This simple room has polished walls of obsidian that bear long lists of Dwarven names.

[BigPo73]

Examine the room to determine where we go next (15)

[Aaronmoze]

At the bottom of the east wall you find a trigger that opens a secret door to the north.

[BigPo73]

make our way through the secret door with Gemria leading the way

[Aaronmoze]

Gemria leads you through the secret door. Her shield at the ready. Simple stone benches line the walls of this octagonal room. These benches are positioned near small openings along the west, northwest, and northeast walls. An unusual device that resembles a stone trumpet is attached to the northeast wall near the opening. A faint whispering sound permeates this chamber.
