"So, Crowe pulls here..?"

STR check 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Clearly Crowe had worn himself out digging out the... whatever it is.

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Curious at the nature of the surface the rager uncovered, Ana studies it and tries testing it - rapping on it with the pommel of a dagger, trying to see if the steel of her knife would scratch it.

She steps back so Crowe could get leverage on the 'door' and comments, "Never seen that before. Harder than iron, not quite adamantium. Maybe an alloy. Like making bronze from copper and tin."

"Less talk, more help," grunts Crowe.

"What you need is some leverage." Zasha draws her grappling hook from her pack and tries using a fork to pry open the door.

Fancy way to say Strength check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

The door stays resolutely stuck.....

Crowe could of course take a few minutes then take 10 or something....

Taking 10 would only get me to 14, but if I can take 20 that'll get it open.

Ok....

With a few minutes rest to recover himself, Crowe looks again at the door, and tries pulling from the other side this time. Slowly but surely, the metal parts.

The inside of the wreck is cramped. A single chair made out of the same strange metal faces the hatch, dozens of straps hang inside the device, and an array of levers and buttons lines the interior on one side. Several dozen palm-sized metallic discs and an unadorned silvery bracer lie scattered across the interior.

Ana pulls a face at Crowe's back when he comments on her analysis, but steps back and turns her back to the group to watch for any threats or really anyone that might notice their activity.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 And sees absolutely nothing.

The sky is blue, the hills are rolling....

Ooo, pretty!

Crowe peers in suspiciously, superstitious dread preventing him from taking the lead.

“What is this?” Alivar mutters. “It appears to be some sort of vessel … a ship from the stars like Zasha said? Or a life boat by the size of it … and what have we here? These are interesting.”

Alivar reaches in to scoop up the discs and bracers if possible.

There are about 35 disks scattered about the base fo the ship for Alivar to colelct.

"Well. I haven't a clue what these are for," says Alivar, examining the pieces.

"If they are some kind of star metal, they're probably valuable."

Zasha squeezes past Alivar and Crowe to examine the ship's interior.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Was that it? Do we just take the trinkets and run?

That is your mission... It's going well isn't it? Mwhahahhaha

"Crowe is surprised it was so easy."

"Sometimes, the hard part is just finding what you seek. But we needed your strength to claim it." She seems cautiously optimistic that they can exit stage quickly and complete the mission.

Is anyone trying/capable of those appraise checks?

Totally incapable.

Alivar has appraise, unsure if anyone else does.

Ooo. I have know(local). I missed it before.

Know(local): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

The moment of excited hope was fun anyway.

They are two separate checks, so throw another one in there.... Someone roll for Alivar.

Alahazra is of no use whatsoever in evaluating these treasures.

Appraise: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Appraise: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

For Alivar

That will do, have a look at the spoilers. It's not something Alivar would hide.

Is the comment about the bracelet complete? It reads as though it got truncated during an edit.

Alivar says, "Well! These shiny baubles are actually used as currency by the locals. This represents a fair amount of money if I am not mistaken. The jewelry, however, that is a prize. It will actually absorb damage intended for the wearer. In fact, what it does is slow the speed of something approaching quickly, such as an arrow or weapon, but the cumulative effect is that it saves the user from harm. Hmm, appears to have sustained some damage, however. It's usable lifespan may have been affected negatively." Looking quite pleased with his recall, he hands the items over to anyone interested in looking the over.

Oops, sorry, missed that an appraise check as well as knowledge checks could ID these. Thanks PR.

"I guess that's it. We go back now."

"Is that it? I expected something more.... eventful?"

With the craft left behind, you begin the journey back through the switchbacks, decending from the summit.

"Stop there," demands a Kellid woman who hefts a massive blade.
"You’re are not from here, and those things are not yours. Give us
the silverdisks, all the gold you have, and anything else you found
there. Then you may live."

Who's carrying the stuff by the way?

As she speaks, three other Kellids move out onto the path behind her.

"Friend, there twice as many of us as you, and I think you might listen to an old adage of the Varisian people. Finders keepers; losers weepers."

I always like distributing loot around. Split the discs evenly. Was it Alivar for the jewelry?

Alivar carrying the bracelet is fine with me.

"Our friend has a big weapon too. Bigger than yours I would estimate."

"Woman, Crowe considers you fine-looking. It would upset him to mash your face and body with his hammer. Stand aside, and one day Crowe will return and add you to his harem. Fight him, you will die and never know the joy of receiving Crowe's member within you. Which would be sad for him and for you."

Intimidate 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

The woman smirks at crowes attempts at intimidation. "Another time, I would bed you before I slit your thriving throat. But not today. We take what you have stolen, or you die."

Now would be a good time for Init checks....

Well, the mixed message probably didn't help.

Init 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

I don't know the relative positions. Ana and Leryn would typically be leading, preferably off-path, but I'm sure there is little opportunity for stealth here, so she would have been on the switchback.

Yeah, I need to work on a map, but you are still above the treeline, so very little cover for you to really have been far ahead.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

I thought I'd already rolled?

Now I need inits from Ali and Zash

Map coming, once it finnishes uploading to Google....

Gumpble grumble crosspost, grumble

init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Map

Please place yourselves between H4 and S7

Crowe!

I5. And I'll let Crowe go first. I might need to bail him out again. ;-)

H7

H5.

Which one is the woman?

To save time, he will attack either R1 from G5 or R2 from F6, attacking the one which is not the woman (if neither is the woman, he goes from R1), taking a route which does not provoke an AoO. He rages, power attacks, and he will also invoke his elemental strikes ability.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 to hit, damage 2d6 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 9 + 3 = 21 plus 1d6 ⇒ 5 electricity.

As lightning crackles up his mighty earthbreaker, Crowe swoops upon his enemies like a thunderstorm. A bald thunderstorm with a big hammer.

Too many contingencies. Nevyn, can you tell me how that went down?

M7

The Woman is R1, sorry.

Crowe's attack, bristling with electricity is just deflected by the man's armour.
