Running the Monster Gauntlet: Escape (5e)

[spiderwrangler]

The end of the hallway remains blank. There didn't seem to be an established portal from the red meat side.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Gnomz wearily gestures at the two corpses. < New forms for two. And they can use sharpies, too.> With that he rolls over to the wall , keeping the shield and a sword for himself, and starts snoring.

[Rodgeir]

Underslem looks at Gomz in amazement and tries also to rest.

[spiderwrangler]

((You guys doing a short rest, or trying to sleep for the night?))

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

(( How long will it take the other others to absorb the meatsacks? ))

[spiderwrangler]

((Short rest/1 hour.))

[Dlover]

Sluj starts munching on the meats (Not absorbing the bones, just eating), <Fred take body. Other want other body?>

[spiderwrangler]

Sluj's mule mouth isn't equipped for much more than tasting the new meat.

[Dlover]

Tasting is acceptable.

[spiderwrangler]

It tastes mineral-y, probably from the water they were swimming about in?

[Rodgeir]

Underslem wants a full 8 hours of sleep until the meet body stops hurting.

Does the meat body need to eat something? If it does it will use the metal stick and cut meat from the lizard thing until its belly is full of lizard thing meat.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Gnomz will continue to saw wood for as long as the party decides to rest.

[spiderwrangler]

Having eaten well earlier in the day when you took Underling's form, you're not really too hungry yet.

[Dlover]

((So, since we have two corpses, I'd suggest Fred who lost their body absorb one set of bones, but is there anyone who's particularly interested in taking the other? Or maybe we could wait until Fred gets the new form and see how it is before deciding on the second one? If we're taking a long rest then Fred could absorb the bones at the start of the rest, and someone else could absorb the other later in the rest, wouldn't really have any time impact.))

[Quarg]

Fred...(wonders how he escaped but shall praise lord spider he did so...)

Fred states "I shall begin to assume this creature..."

Fred then begins the process of absorbing / transformation...

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

*Snort, Snarck* ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.

[spiderwrangler]

Fred spends some time dissolving, absorbing and engulfing the new form. As his rough, reddened skin takes shape, he shivers at the cold.

((So, new form is very good. I'd think probably one of the mules should swap out, seemingly being the weaker forms we've got. You want it, Burns? Or does anyone else think I'm mistaken and we'd be better off switching someone else?))

[Quarg]

Fred realizes that he needs water and heat sooner rather than later...but first things first...didn't we recover some weapons?

Er...I'm not sure that the mules are 'weaker' just more utilitarian.

But you are right we might need some more fighters at the moment...and the only person weaker than the mules is our spell caster...

So who wants to be the utility player?

[Arch Lich Burns]

I am fine with being utility for now. Maybe others can find a cart of something to stash bodies in.

[spiderwrangler]

((Sounds like it's yours, Sluj!))

((Someone give me a d12 roll.))

[Rodgeir]

Underslem will shoot Fred with fire! As much as he needs. He also has discovered he can, intermittently, create streams of warm water Fred can use!

Random: 1D12 = [8] = 8

[spiderwrangler]

You all wake up after having passed a night resting and recovering, no portals opened up in your hallway, from the hot tunnels where you stole two firenewts, or from elsewhere within Master's complex.

Where would you like to go now?

[Dlover]

((Aye, Sluj will exchange bodies for the remaining newt, as part of the rest. It won't even need the rest since it's changing bodies.))

[Rodgeir]

Underslem will use the console to light up the archway to the path just to the right of where they first came out and press the center button!
