yep but the walls are pretty thick on both sides of the area so even if you do use the lyre it will take quite sometime to have a discernible effect of any sort. All so take into consideration that the lyre will make noise and lots of it for a long period of time which could possibly attract all sorts of stuff to you guys unintentional.
hmm true, lots of noise, so that would be plan B or C, me making small tunnel and everyone else defending if needed.
The description says that 30 min= 100 humans working for 3 days (for reference)
But first a recap,
the only things here is the doors and a star shaped indentation on the floor.
No reliefs, carvings, writings, or pictures, just bland walls and smooth faced doors.
Anyone have true seeing?
yes i have true seeing
Would Chirinide know you have that ability?
If you can geuss I'm a cleric you could probably know that, but with out asking me no you would not
Checking things out with True Seeing sounds like a good idea. My other thoughts are to try my dimensional steps ability from the side of the door past where the wards extend. If that doesn't work, I could try summoning an earth elemental and have it earth glide under or around the door and the wards and have it try to open the door from the other side, or at least tell us what's over there. If there's any open space around the door jamb, an air elemental might work too.
Yes the earth elemental should work but the dimensional steps could require long distance travel because of the angle, depending on what is on the other side.
edit ninjad again. I seem to get ninjad a lot.

dimensional step won't work as it is similar to what Pendin tired with the abundent step ability...as to the earth elemental not sure this would work necessarily but I will take a look has merit as a wonderful way...only concern is you ability to control the actions of the elemental enough to get it to open the door on the other side. Oh and no there is not enough of a gap for an air elemental
Finally around midnight you arrive at the castle a quick search of the walls outside the castle you come upon a tunnel After proceeding eastward for about ten minutes along a downward sloping passage, you come at last to a T intersection, with a short hallway continuing to the north and another leading south into darkness. A large eight-pointed star design has been chiseled into the stone floor at the intersection. The points of the star are entirely cleaned out, as if something is meant to be inset into the shallow depressions.
What if we left the tunnel and tried to scale the walls?
Whoa, I'm finding it not too easy to keep up the pace!
I'm participating in eleven PbPs past this one. They all combined made 33 new posts in the past 15 hours, while you guys made 88! That's like over 10 posts per day from each member! I can't commit to more than one post per day, especially as they all seem to flow while I'm sleeping (I'm in Europe). If you don't want me slowing you down, I'll understand.
I have joined 8 pbp in the month and half since I started playing and most of them had lots of posts the first week and then slowed down. Yet many seem to think this is unusual. I wonder if I'm just lucky or haven't played enough.

The only problem with this idea is that the place is mostly a ruin and pretty much everythingyou are going to is underneath castle ruins or in its lower level of which the door is the only entrance...but again good out of the box idea
Several hours is probably going to be enough to restore my 2 ki points? I have a pool of 11 and it takes 8 hours to restore the whole thing.
Off topic question anyone live in the Southern California area? Or for that matter...what timezone is everyone in? Pacific Standard Time here.
Texas here, so central. Nice 20, bee tee dubs.
Houston, you? The wife and I moved down here from Chicago about 14 months ago.
Missouri, near Kansas City, thus I am in the central time zone
Cool, aside form here I've lived in new York for like 6 months otherwise been here most my life
Moved to SoCal from Ohio...I do NOT miss that state!
How did you like NY Zaldane? I've only visited there once.
Thas, my wife has family in Bryan. We get up there every now and again.
It was great, except trying to find good work, and the outragious prices, but the comic game community was amazing
be back later gonna catch up on some stuff today, so I'll check in about a couple of hours
Canada!
Central Time.
GMT +2, Eastern Europe
DFW Texas!
On phone right now was at work all day today and will be tommorrow too.
I will be home in an hour but if you want to roll for me before then I have a +12 to perception and +6 to init. My first action will be to get out and stuff my hole into my pouch. Stealthily like.
Once we get to the first round, who wants the Enlarge Person? I'm thinking Pendin or Malcom.
It grants size large, 10' reach, +2 str(size), -2dex and an additional -1 to attack and AC, but it also ups your damage dice one step and gives an additional +1 CMB & CMD (CMD cancels out due to Dex drop).
So, +1 damage, +0 hit, -2AC, -1 Ref, +2CMB, +1CMD, 10' reach and damage dice increase one step.
Let me know.
I am planning to bomb them before they break up the formation.
Gotcha, that would be a waste of a spell. Thanks for letting me know Gelik.
Well it's just 12 splash damage per bomb, so they'll probably survive that. Just FYI.
I thought avg damage for 6d4 is 15 (2.5x6). If they survive that I'll be surprised.
My bombs do 6d4+6 damage to single target, and 6+6 splash damage. For undead and constructs it's 6d8+6, but the splash damage stays the same.
Also I'd be very surprised if these gnolls are not advanced or with class levels ;)
Good point. Well, I'll put it up there. If it ends up being overkill, it's only a first level spell.
If I can get to the middle of the pack as I'm planning to, with the Enlarge Person I'd be able to get 5 attacks at 2d6+18 & a free Bullrush attack /hit with a full round action.
Just a thought.

I'm just unsure if the Dex drop would affect your Two-Weapon fighting feats. I don't want to gimp your build.
Shoot I went ahead and attempted to grapple one of the guys in the front and pin as a full round action before I saw this! Next round I had planned to tie him up with my spider silk rope and keep him alive for questioning if needed.

Ok, I read up on prerequisites and it looks like the Enlarge Person would cost you the attack from Improved Two Weapon Fighting. It would still be useful to Pendin, and it lasts for 12 minutes, so I'm going to put it on the monk.
Pendin, my main concern is us getting through the door before someone can shut it on us, so I think that should be our top priority.
Fair enough...I will check the discussion before launching an action from now on. I can always break the little buggers neck in the next round (Coup de Grace) after tying him up :)
I think your first instinct was the right one, questioning is good. I just hope someone speaks gnoll.
Worse comes to worse I have a potion of tongues.
I meant to ask, are basic stat checks resolved by rolling under the stat, or meeting a DC?
