nope, too much.
If you were in a chain shirt I could.

Ruckus might be able to drag some extra loot. Unfortunately I spoilered his tricks, forgetting that I can't open spoilers on my phone and I wont be home for a while. . If someone would be so kind as to check, "work" would mean he'd drag a load for us. "Heel" would clear up whhether he'd follow me in, too.

I guess we're just carrying it down and setting up a camp. We should be fine.

I'll be offline traveling most of tomorrow; I'll see if I can check in on the road. :)

And let him get a good look at my assets, I think not.

Fights Gunder for peeking rights. ;)

Yea, a small concealed stash of spare equipment in case we need to restock.

Ok what should we request?

1 day of food for each person with water.
Blankets
Healer's Kit
Torches/Lantern oil
Rope
Holy water
Crowbar

That's a good list. Maybe some iron spikes to keep something open once we pry it open with the crowbar.

Sounds good, along with a small hammer. I assume we can handle equipment requisition in this forum and have it available when we start going down?

That's fine with me. Please make your supply request in-character, though.

nope, too much.

If you were in a chain shirt I could.

Tough decision. But I think I'll stick to my chainmail. Would have been fun though.

Elizabeth, I think your list looks good. Can't think of anything else that we need.

Looks like we may be just a little bit "screwed" here.

Oh well...

well if all our lights are permentaly out then that is what is gonna happen.

I'm guessing darkness or the like...

Does anyone have a light spell?
Hopefully the dancing Lights will let us see.l Fighting in such narrow spaces is bad, so getting down to the landing IMO is a good idea.
Before things went dark, did we get a good idea on ceiling height and such?

I was casting Light...however, at CL1, my light will be extinguished by darkness. Same goes with any other level 1 spell such as Dancing Lights, unless Aldous has some sort of modifier.

Awseome first encounter for a first level adventure! I was expecting to be greeted by one or two skeletons or zombies waiting for us behind one of those doors.

Darkness spells usually have limited size and duration, don't they?
So if we just retreat to the landing and wait till this thing has finished eating Garuneh, the rest of us should be able to see it in time. Not a very good plan, I admit.

Gunder could Command it to drop Garuneh. Then all of us could wait for the spell effect run out or the thing leaving the spell radius. But I think he would need to have some idea what that thing is (e.g. having seen it at least once) before targeting it with such a spell? I can't find any definite information on that in the PRD, though.

I believe it would be poor form to let Garuneh get eaten. If someone could perhaps grapple and beat on the creature or try to get it off?

Yes indeed it would be.

Do any of us except for Garuneh and Aldous even know yet that there is a monster? Let alone that Garuneh is grappled?

Maybe a scream for help would be appropriate?

not so confident the dancing lights will work, but figured I had to try something. You are correct that I (or Garuneh) should have probably yelled "help" although the "shwoop" and "grab-om-nom-nom" sounds should likely be a telltale that something bad is happening.

Ruckus has scent, so that's something, at least...

There is that, so he should at least be able to do something. I'm leery of also swinging away with a bigb hammer in the dark though.

Don't let me get eaten!

Sorry, I was posting on the phone yesterday whilst traveling, and couldn't write out everything, but I did say that if I was escaping a grapple I would yell. So, I've yelled something. That plus "slam, nom nom nom" oughta be tell-tale enough.

Tina has Blind Fight!

I will probably drink that potion, so I don't die next round.

Oops, You are right Garuneh. Sorry I missed that. Probably didn't hear you because of all this loud "shwoop grab slam om nom nom" noise.

Oh, and I found the rules for casting targeted spells: you have to see or touch the target. So my spell would have worked in the dark if I fumbled for something tentaclous. (Except in this case you freed yourself long before it was my turn, anyway. But good to know for next time.)

All up to Tina now!

Whoops! Hope that the fumble tables are not used.

Aim high, Elizabeth!

Aim high, Elizabeth!

gee, thanks... ;)

I have this odd desire to be reincarnated as a half-orc cleric with scale armor, or maybe an elven lightbringer wielding a net. :D

Hey everyone. I'm heading out of town today and tomorrow, so my posting will be minimal. Have a great weekend!

We gotta finish off this whatsit! DOn't leave usssss!

When the GM's away that means we get to decide what happens, right?

Well still need Durnolf to unleasht he pain

I can start swinging away blindly whenever you wish, m'lady. It'll be just like the time I turned back a drowned army because they thought I was a cave-in in progress.

I summon 30 Tyrannosaurs with darkvision!

Well start choppin and there will be extra portions for you and your wolf.

I attack...the darkness.

I polymorph all of us into Aboleths (including the dinosaurs).
Can anyone summon some water, please?

I splash some holy water on Gunder.

Wet T-shirt contest! Ruckus is automatically disqualified due to wooden t-shirt and wet dog smell.

Summon water? 7 times a day, baby. That sounded so incredibly wrong.

I put on my robe and wizard hat. :P

I just noticed my phone doesn't have "drow " in its dictionary, and this vexes me. I am vexed.

Off for lunch for about 2 hours. Don't get yourselves killed. :)

So...which door do you want?

The one in the middle

I'd prefer the right! Show of hands?

Ok, I deleted my post until we get a consensous.

I'm out for a few hours and will go with the majority. It is true that the graffiti could apply to an inner door, or just be a bunch of nothin'.

How about this,
we go with room numbers.

I'm guessing the stairs count as a room in this one and the adjacent rooms are numbered 3,4,5.

I'm guessing the western door is 3, the eastern door is 5 and the middle on is 4.

I say we go with 4.

I think the writing on the wall is for later

That sounds ok. I vote 4.

And Banderswel forges ahead...:p (I will still wait for a vote)

Today I learned that elves can't tell halflings apart.
