Hsck peers atound as he enters and picks up the ale to give it a sniff.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

I'll not turn down a free drink. It looks like thete's a secret door over on that far wall.

Hack chugs the ale and points at the location of the secret door after wiping his mouth on the bsck of his arm.

Not too bad...

Rurik is just a moment too late to warn Hack off of eating the foot and drink found down here. Give'n this place jes collapsed, food'er drink just sittin around ought be a little suspect, no? he then looks Hack over for any ill effects of the ale.

"I'm not sure why you would drink something you found in a dungeon. Seems silly to me."

Kara looks around Kartoss' buttocks. "Why? Is there any left?"

She then scuttles under his legs and looks at the secret door. Perception!: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

If she doesn't see any traps, she tries to open it.

Perception (Raven): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

"Perhaps you can end up as a hungry ghost as well."

Vakase moves in to examine the secret door before Kara might hastily open it.

Vakase and Kara open the secret door and it leads to a small corridor.

At the end of he corridor lay a small room. In the room at the end of this narrow corridors strange metallic contraption of gears and chains. A large lever extends out at a forty-five - degree angle from the front of it.

Hovering above the contraption is a curious looking creature it is a small, roiling cloud of energy that periodically sends out sparks of electricity into the air or along the chains.

The creature makes no movement or indication that it notices the heroes.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"I should know what that thing is, but I can't quite place it. Definitely not from this world though. It doesn't look like you can just set it on fire, Kara."

Knowing all the things!: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2 Haha, yeah right. ^_^

"Mmmrmph. Yeah, well, I'd like to test that. Can I at least press the lever?"

Kara looks longingly and lovingly at the lever. "Soooooo shinyyyyyyy...."

Do I know about things from beyond: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Anyone know what this thing does?"

Thinking: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Looking up at the creature, Rurik furrows his brow a moment before remarking, It be a small lightning elemental. Wonder if it be lookin over the machine, er some how bound to it?

Couldn't tell from the description, does the machine seem to be connected/containing the elemental, or is the elemental just near the machine for orientation in the room?

Since no one has actually told her "not" to press the lever, Kara begins inching her way closer to it, as if in a trance.

"Elemental. Fascina -- Kara!" Vakase suddenly snaps at the halfling.

"Why don't you be a dear and wait until we've had a proper look at things?"

"Let's both go look at it together, shall we?"

She walks forward carefully to look at the lever, to at least get a sense of what may happen if it's tampered with.

Investigation: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"It was on fire when I got here!" Kara automatically spits out as Vakase's emission, coming out of her reverie. "Alright, alright, don't get yer undies in a twist." Kara quietly plods over to the lever next to the warlock. "Hmmmm. Okay, from some deep study of the device, cross-referenced with what I've seen in devices like this in the past, I've come to the conclusion that, if we apply proper force here, we can pull the lever dow--what??

Alright, alright fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. But have you thought about--" in time Kara actually looks at the thing objectively, offering some help, and only twice again trying to pull the lever.

Vakase can take Advantage on her Investigate roll, because Kara is so very smart and helpful. And dependable. ^_^

Vakase shakes her head and leans in closer for inspection.

Investigation Adv: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

"As soon as we confirm this thing isn't going to kill us or make that elemental notice us, it's all your Kara. Deal?"

The elemental ignores Vakase as she and Kara investigate the lever. It looks as if the lever controls some sort of apparatus further on in the dungeon. The tube you spotted outside in the cellblock is obviously connected to the lever. Vakase would assume this opens, or closes some door nearby.

"What's the verdict?" says Kartoss, clearly bored.

"Ah let the girl pull the lever. Maybe it opens a secret door somewhere. Otherwise this looks like a dead end."

The map is clearly labeled. You have basically 2 options. Pull lever and see, or move to the red arrow. I need someone, anyone, to begin pushing the action forward please.

At Davin's half-hint-suggestion-inference-idea-implication-inkling-mention-notion- reference-scent-sign-whiff and whisper that Kara might possibly be allowed to pull the lever...Kara immediate reaches up and pulls the lever.

"If anything bad happen it's Davin's fault," she says proactively, grinning form ear to ear.

I was actually referring to the hallway/room we were in, not that there was not another route to follow...plus I just wanted her to pull the lever!! lol

Davin grimaces as Kara drops the possible blame into his lap, but then shrugs and prepares for whatever might happen when the level is pulled.

@Davin I wasn't responding to your post, I was more or less entreating someone to please post some sort of action that pushes the game forward. I'm ok if that's always Kara, but that might not work out well for everyone else...
Kara reaches the lever and pulls down, immediately two things happen.

1) The party hears a loud shrieking coming from the west.
2) The elemental begins buzzing angrily and darts towards Kara!

Kara
Rurik
Hack
Davin
Vakase

Good guys are up. Pay attention to the map, you guys are somewhat limited in vision/movement (IE If you are attacking down the hallway through multiple people via a ranged attack you'll almost certainly have disadvantage

Kartoss will switch from bored to hyperfocused to moving in an instant, and then he is on the elemental.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

He will then follow up his punch with a spinning back fist.

Damage Roll: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Davin takes aim and fires on the ball of lightning.

Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Oh dear. I was afraid we might a angered it if we poked around. says Rurik, waving his hand as a puff of flame engulfs the small elemental.

Sacred Flame, DC 13: 1d8 ⇒ 4

I can't tell on the map. Am I adjacent to the elemental?

Round 1, Rage 1/10 rds

Hack moves,down the hallway as he flies into a rage and attacks from the opposite side of the enemy from the wood elf.

GA Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
GA Dam: 1d12 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

"Note to self - never let a halfling pull a lever or push a button, no matter how shiny." Vakase mutters to herself as she fires an eldritch blast at the attacking elemental.

Eldritch Blast: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Eldritch Blast Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

@Kara Yes
@Kartoss You aren't close enough to attack. I'm going to double move you.
@Rurik your 50' away down a narrow hall with 4 people in between you and the elemental, you don't have LoS unless you move.
@Hack you were 35' away so I double moved you.

Well poop.

Kara screams a high-pitched short scream and immediately runs away from the horrible horrible thing that attacked her for no reason. "Darn it, Davin! Look what you made me do!" she yells...after she's a safe distance away.

Withdraw action 30 feet. Also, Rurik already cast Sacred Flame. =3

Rurik doesn't have LoS to the elemental, which Sacred Flame requires

If I can't see the thing, how was I able to do a knowledge check and examine the contraption?

That's a really good question...I moved you on the map to reflect that point. Thanks for pointing it out.

Nah, you can rage/attack in round 2 if you want, and use the rolls

"Hey! Nobody gets to hurt me but me!" Kara yells without a hint of irony.

"Hellz ya Vakase! Let's lite this summabech up with fire that hurts it with the pain and the burning!"

Combat Over everyone gets

200/6=33XP

Actions?

Hack, still bleexing from multiple wounds and now slightly burned in areas from electrical shock approches Rurik.

I require prayers of healing, if you have them, priest. Either that, or a significant rest.

He dl8mps dowm on the floor, leaning agsinst the wall.

Currently at 1/14 HP.

"That was fun! What else you got?"

Looking at the wild joy Kara had at burning the creature, Davin places his hand on her shoulder.

"Great job beautiful, now lets go see if we can help Hack. The creature seems to have badly injured him."

As he moves forward, Davin stops to say a few words to all the party members, congratulating them.

We all did great! Now lets help Hack and see where that noise might take us. What do you say?"

Without hesitation Kara turns and licks Davin's hand, her small tongue darting up half the length of his middle finger. "Careful tiger. Don't let you lips make promises your body can't cash." She follows with a wink that can only be called "prurient". Yep, that's a word. Go look it up. ;)

"Yes. By all means we should all pitch in and help Hack hack. And by "we" I mean Rurik. Alright Rurik, make with teh heelz!"

Her cheeks still red after summoning the heat, she pauses, lifts her skirt to mid-thigh, and takes out a flask from its home along her leg. She takes a fortifying sip of rumboozle and offers some up the bottle to any takers. "Care for a pull? It'll put hair on your chest."

Kartoss, who naturally refuses to back down from any challenge, takes the flask and takes a long draw, then returns it to Kara with a nod.

Very well lad, I'll heal ye up. Sarenrae, infuse Hack with yer blessing o'strength. says Rurik, his hands glowing with healing energies.

Cure 1: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Vakase motions to Kara to pass the flask along.

"If there's one thing you can count on with halflings, apart from their love for food and ... natural curiosity, it's that they don't skimp on their drink."

She takes a gulp and hands it back.

"I feel like that should uncurl my horns if I didn't have infernal blood. Nicely done!"

Thanks, Rurik. We movin' on or restin' for a bit?

Davin laughs at the halflings actions, and takes the flask as it is passed around.

"Well maybe a short breather for us to plan our next move? Good drink that!"

He hands the flask back to Kara.

Kara giggles as all compliment her adult beverage and slips the flask back in its holster more sexfully.

"WHAT?" she cries at the idea of stopping now. "But I'm not almost-dead yet! And Hack is upright now! Come on! Can we at least wait until one of us is barely conscious?"

Kara's constant bouncing serve as clear warning where her vote on the matter lays.
