    @mashedtaters Edwin can tie off a rope, but the trap door is closed off by a thick stone lid right now.

    OOC: Sorry, I pictured Minsc holding the door open.

    Instead, Edwin looks for something he can hand to Minsc to open the door and hold it.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    He sees nothing currently. However, the people who built this must have a way to open and reset the trap...
  • mashedtatersmashedtaters Member Posts: 2,266
    Edwin looks around for a way to open the trap.

    OOC: Apologies, peeps. My internet was down for a good portion of yesterday and today.

    Without sparing Edwin a word--Anomen spoke up before she so much as opened her mouth, but she wasn't about to complain--Aerie rolled up the Web scroll and put it away. She'd transcribe it later.

    Upon watching her friends disappear beneath the trapdoor, Aerie also began her search for a way to reopen it.

    You think it might take a thief to find something.

    “Tiax, make yourself useful!” snorts Edwin.

    Alora will search in the pit to see if there is anything that might help. "There must be a lever or a switch somewhere," she says. "Let's everyone search for it."
  • NimranNimran Member Posts: 4,875
    Tiax chuckles as he sees the scene play out before him. “Fools, let Tiax show you how it’s done!” He searches.

    OOC:Hello everyone! Work days made me hard to catch up after the weekend, but here i am.

    Arkanis helps Minsc and Tiax to find a way to make the trapdoor open.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Tax searches and finds a small button near the base of the door, when he pushes it, the slab retracts and the trap door opens.
  • mashedtatersmashedtaters Member Posts: 2,266
    Edwin ties off the rope and helps pull the others up.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    You do this easily. Between Alora and Tiax, you find another button that allows you to cross the trap safely.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    From here, you can cross to the other door safely, though Alora and Anomen's boots (and Alora's feet) are soaked in oil (like lamp oil).

    *Removes his boots and ties them to his belt. The wast of stinky feet flood the room*

    Don’t want to be stepping on anything hot with these...

    OOC: and Alora is wearing boots. Boots of elvenkind
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    True. The magic repels the oil, then. Or maybe it's the boots themselves, you aren't sure.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora feels a little chastened by the fact that she has now triggered two traps she failed to search for. "From now on I think we should be extra careful - I think this place might be out to get us."

    Alora checks for traps on the western door.

    OOC: @LadyRhian - How many hit points has Alora got at the moment? She's been taking a bit of a battering.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    @Permidion_Stark She has 6 at the moment.

    She finds no traps on the door and it is not locked. It is a mirror image of the Library, but this room contains several wooden desks and chairs. Against one wall is a blackboard and a holder with several pieces of chalk and some cloths smeared with chalk dust. It has a door to the north against the western wall, and a door to the south against the eastern wall.

    A shiver goes down Alora's spine. "This looks like a school room," she says unhappily. Alora wants to get out of here as quickly as possible. She goes to the door heading north and checks for traps before opening it.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    The door is unlocked and Alora finds no traps. Outside the door is a hallway running north, and another running east-west. To the east, you cants make out the door to the half-circular roomy were in earlier.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora will head north, checking for traps as she goes.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    After 40', the corridor makes a sharp turn to the east. After 80', you see a door straight ahead. When you open this one, you find yourself back in the semi-circular room.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    OOC: Whoops! Alora seems to have led us round in circles.

    "I meant to bring us back here in case people wanted to take another look at anything," she announces airily.

    She will now try the northern door, checking for traps before she opens it.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    She went through the northern door. I'll assume you meant southern. The southern door is also unlocked and once again, she finds no traps. This corridor goes south for 150' before making a turn to the east. After 80', it dead-ends at a door to the east.

    (Assuming Alora does the search and check for traps again...)

    The door is not locked, and she doesn't find a trap. This opens on an irregular room, partly cut out of the surrounding rock The stone work is cruder than is usual for the rest of the palace. On a table in the corner the room is a small silver statue of a dragon readying for flight. In front of the statue, acting as guards, are five humans. Each human guard has a gaping wound. The wounds look serious enough to kill any person who suffered them.

    Yet, these humans are standing, completely unmoving. It's obvious they don't feel any pain from their wounds.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    "Gulp!" gulps Alora. She whispers to her party: "I've got a feeling we need to get that statue. It might have something to do with the princess and her boyfriend. But how do we fight something that doesn't look like it can be killed?"
  • deltagodeltago Member Posts: 7,811
    Hog’s wash.

    *Anomen steps into the room, shield and mace in hand, and advances slowly towards the men*
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora moves to the side, keeping her distance, and readies her sling.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    The humans react to Anomen, but they are slow and stiff. If they are dead, they are pretty freshly so.

    "Zombies!" shouts Alora and fires her sling at the nearest one.

    Minion, roll 1d20 for Alora's unerring slingshot
