Andrea gives Truk the crowbar from the stash (+2 to check)

Off to work

I was trying break the lock, not sunder it. Is that not possible?

If it's not breakable:

Damage: 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

Truk rams the gate and breaks the lock, there is a high pitched creaking when one of the two large gates opens 2 feet. The other gate still has the locking pin firmly in the cobbled ground. Fortunately, the surf crashing on land muffles the sound.

Lucrezia give Truk a congratulatory smack on the ass. "Good hit there Trouble. Now, who wants to go in first?"

Lucrezia peers about carefully as she checks to see if the noise and open gate have alerted any sort of 'watch dogs'.

perception 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

Truk beams with pride at his success and stands a little taller at Lucrezia's touch.

"Quick, get inside everyone. I want to shut the gate as much as possible behind us. With some luch, passerby's won't know someone's been inside", he warns.

Does anyone have any lamp oil to spill on the hinges? Andrea move inside with the others and keeps her Detect Magic up, gazing on the path to the front door.
Remember we have the key ring from the Wavedoor that can help us get in.

Grimm focuses on the magic auras on the path. 3rd round.

Grimm the third round reveals that the path's aura's are every 10 feet is faint. The auras off the path are scattered haphazardly with no rhyme or reason but they are moderate in strength.

You can make Know-arcana for the items in your line of sight to determine the school.

Andrea will scan along with Grimm. Faelyn, perhaps you can identify the auras as we move close to the building?

Andrea keeps concentrating at least 3 rounds as she moves with Grimm.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Grimm leads them around the magic pockets.
Step where I step. Probably some nasty surprises in those magic spots

Know arcana 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Grimm leads them to the door.

Grimm you have no idea of the school of magic being used with the aura's.

As Zizmort flies for 3 RDs, he does not see a spell being cast on top of the wall, nor the exterior of the wall.

---

Faelyn can fly over or blink to the top and then blink over.

What did you ultimately decide to do?

So, We have a keyring that might open the front door. Lucrezia, would you be able to have a look at the door to double-check it?

perception to look over the door for traps: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

Unless you are making a mad dash to the porch your only a few feet inside the gate.

My mistake.

Me and Zizmore followed the crowd. The Spellcraft rolls were in response to the people who told me to roll.

In that case just use that roll for Lucrezia looking about as they walk, still keeping an eye out for any mundane traps or normal hazards associated with abandoned property.

I was under the impression that Grimm was leading the way in and we were following him.

Are we waiting on someone?

As I see it, Grimm and Andrea are concentrating for auras along the path and pointing them out. Lucrezia is looking around for any possible attacks, Faelyn and Ziz are probably going to try to identify the auras. The others are following behind us as we move up.

Yeah I saw that but if we haven't discovered anything new why are we still standing around?

Let us move up then. Grim is out with family and he asked to be botted as needed.

Arcana: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

Arcana: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Yeah I saw that but if we haven't discovered anything new why are we still standing around?

I think everyone is waiting on me to get back online. I mentioned that I would sporadic tonight and that unless there was a mad dash it's a slow process getting up the path. I'm not going to be on the rest of the night.

The order that I have:
Grimm and Andrea leading detecting magic.
Lucrezia looking for traps
Zizmort and Faelyn following detecting magic and aura's
Truk
John and Orsin
Fluer

Works for me

Truk follows along as patiently as he can.

Order looks good to me. :)

The group has progressed steadily up the walkway, presumably avoiding the spaced magical areas. Grimm and Andrea are 30 feet from the porch.

Andrea and Grimm need to make perception check at minus 2, since they are concentrating on their detect magic spell. Lucrezia can make perception check at minus 4 since she is trailing behind looking for traps.

Zizmort and Faelyn realize the magic on the walkway, every ten feet, is evocation. Their spellcraft was high enough to notice a slight change, as a spell begins to emanate, from the small embedded auras in the middle of the walkway.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

perception 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 4 = 31

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Grimm steadily paces towards the door like a sniffer dog. Meandering to avoid the possible hazards.

Edit: Andre and Grimm I did a minor edit in the spoiler to you.

Truk, Orisin, John, and Fluer the others in front suddenly stop.

Whoa. Hold up. Pressure plate. Magic either side O the path. We can either backtrack a ways an go right round or try an go over the plate. Faelyn, ye got any spell handy fer getting everyone across?

Truk grows alarmed at the stop.

"Can't you break it or something?"

Can it be disabled?

Lucrezia examines the pressure plate, trying to figure out if it is possible for her to disable it somehow.

"I can look at it for a minute and let you know. Though I wonder if we could all just jump over it?"

Lucrezia gives a doubtful glance over at the stout dwarf when she mentions jumping.

perception for trap 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33
disable 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Luzrezia switches position with Andrea to get a better look a plate, she sees its a pressure plate for mechanical trap. She is able to disable the plate by sliding a small piece of metal on the two sides to keep it from pressing down - or so she believes.

Wow, leave for a bit and we almost get hammered!

Andrea points out the pressure plate with the others. Faelyn, Grimm, would you be able to try to identify what type of spell is on either side of the walkway? If Lucrezia is unable to disable it, at least we can protect ourselves if possible.

"Well, I think I got it disabled, but we'd best only have one person on this section of the walk at a time just to be sure. Who wants to test it out first?"

"I trust your work Beautiful. I'll go first."

Truk carefully follows the path pointed out to him and tries the plate.

From what I can tell, it is just light spells lining the walkway.

Grimm stands aside for the big Half-Orc.

Truk edges up and carefully step on the plate Oh Please hold my weight. It does and he moves forward getting passed the slightly raised plate.

Make a perception check

Faelyn there are magic auras on the side of the pathway these are stronger evocation auras, but you don't know what they are. The magical aura is not in the process of being cast. Nor are they tangible and capable of being examined as an item. These are unlike what you discovered on the walk way, the evocation spell(s) on the walkway are coming from small glowing pebbles embedded in the walk way. Those pebbles are emitting soft light every 10 feet with the setting sun.

"Looks safe to me," Orsin chimes.

Lol, this character is useless in dungeons. Give me something to lie to, sing at, or vomit on and I'll be in business. ~_^

You'll be vomiting soon enough. LoL This is a 4 level complex that will take some time to get through.
