Sorry for messing up the plan for this fight folks. I hadn't really meant to be stepping into the room, but I can easily see how it sounded that way. Luckily my mistake got me webbed, not anyone else.
From now on, I will be more careful in how I state my actions and try to always use the map squares so it doesn't happen again.
Apart from the dog collar, there is no other treasure to be had. As for secret doors and such?
The tower’s west wing find it mostly choked with rubble, but a door in the eastern wall is still accessible. The door leads to a stone spiral staircase that runs through the center of the tower. Unfortunately, the stairway is also blocked with fallen rubble. If you wish to explore the tower’s upper levels, you will have to go back outside and attempt to climb the tower’s exterior walls.
We should get the best climber up, then we can use Jorin's rope to belay the rest up to the top. With two big guys at the top, they could reasonably haul the rest up. As for good climbers, with a knotted rope...
A slope too steep to walk up, or a knotted rope with a wall to brace against. Wall, Check. Knotted Rope. Check. DC=0
Taking 10, anyone even in full armor should be able to climb with no effort.
anyone with a Climb Skill greater than or equal to -1 also makes the climb free without resorting to armor removal or taking 10.
Tomorrow I will be on travel for a business trip - posts may be delayed... again. Please bear with me as its the homeward leg and should have me back on line in about 48-56 hours.
I'll try to get a final update, depending on your posts, up before I hop on the plane.
Ok - am back will be posting results and getting the ball back on track.
I arrived back from China with a dose of the flu with all the trimmings that shattered my desire to do anything other than sleep and sweat. Today I rejoined the human race.
I'm working 14-16 hour days this week and pretty much falling asleep when I get home. If I don't post pretty quickly, please feel free to run me as a lighly armored fighter.
I will try to trick things into charging me so I get an extra attack of opportunity. But if that doesn't work I will move to give them a whack myself.
Starting Sunday morning, I begin a 4 household Christmas season tour, briefly interrupted by an orthodontics visit, covering a little over 1000 miles in six days. Posting will occur, but be erratic until I am home again Saturday night.
Just about ready to jump back into it... work had majorly burned me out over the last few weeks (no win situations and work days that lasted until 4am) but things are getting better now and I can get back into it likely tomorrow.
btw:
Jorin has a section at the end of his profile for the loot we've found. Just 8 items so far (I don't think we found any coin). I noted that Jezzie is wearing the collar and Flinders is carrying the dagger. Let me know if I forgot anything or if anyone wants to carry any of it.
If no one speaks up, I will just assume I'm carrying the rest. Not being greedy. I just have a fair amount of excess carrying capacity and I don't want anyone to be slowed down.
I don't know who is carrying which scroll.
