Dragon's Demand (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

"No kobolds in my room. This I can tell you, Sir."

There is not much to see along the hall. Small puddles here, a dead rat there. But suddenly... The floor Drops away here as the corridor turns east, though a seven-inch-wide ledge continues along the south wall. The walls are very smooth, offering few handholds. The remainder of the passageway is filld with a five-foot-deep trough filled with foul-smelling, thick green sludge.

But you can see a wet section of walkway which seems to have risen short time ago after hundred of years in the sludge.

This section of ledge is slightly slippery, and as a result a successful DC 7 Acrobatics check is needed to traverse this portion of the ledge.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Alex traverses the ledge with ease.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Oy waits fer me's

ting slips and slides along behind Alex

edit: once on the other side and off the ledge Ting looks around.

ting will take 20 on perception for whatever is at the end of the ledge

Hans follows behind Ting Tang, traverse the ledge with surprising grace.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16.

Following with some care Felicity follows the men.Acro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

On the other side of the pool you see a door. No traps are in this room. The door is unlocked.

oy 'is ones not locked. So's I guess we's'l go's in wroight

and so ting, bastard sword in hand, opens the door and looks around

If they are free from attack ting will look around taking 20 on perception.

Alex follows Ting in, taking a look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Ting opens the door and on the other side he can see the hallway continue and turning to the east after about 40 feet. The hallway is dirty, but empty.

ting cautiously Heads down the hallway keeping his eye out for anything suspicious.

taking 20 on perception

Alex follows Ting down the hallway.

"So, do you think the Society will like this plackard? Otherwise I might have you try to sell it when we get out of here."

ting turns to Alex smiling, shrugging his shoulders

squawk, plack which? I aint seen no's placky yardy thingy,

winking

what tha socially people's don't knows wont hoirt 'em, wroight?

ting continues up the hall humming to himself

Alex laughs and rolls his eyes.

"True... though if you think they would like the information on it I can always copy it into my journal for them... I probably will anyway... and let them know that it was too heavy to transport the original back."

Alex gives his pack a few hefts for emphasis.

"Well, you only achieve immortality through the art you make and leave for others. Making journals.... is also an art.Praise Shelyn" With a smile Felicitas follows the unlikly trio.

"Very true Felicitas. It gives me a sense of joy to ensure that some of these words and artwork that we find in our journeys get saved in my journals so that later generations can appreciate them. How much longer do you think those carvings and texts in that cave would have lasted? And how many people will ever get to journey into Godsmouth?"

Alex shakes his head and takes a look in their new environment.

Percpetion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

The hall ends in front of an iron door. A small, barred window pierces this door, revealing a plain, ten-foot-square room wth a windowless iron door on the opposite wall beyond.

The door is locked and the lock is in terrible shape.

Oy, 'is lock be in terrifable conditioner, wroight. gov'n'r, If'n I can't's Open 'er up; you's might need ta us yer crowy bar, wroight

ting begins to attempt to unlock the iron door

ting will attempt to take 20 on disable device, this will give him a total of 30,

Hans nods.

"Fair enough, Ting-Tang. I am sure it is within your skill to open the lock, but I will keep the crowbar on standby..."

Actually, the key you found before fits into this lock ;)

Ting is able to pick the lock, the door is now unlocked.

Alex sighs as the door unlocks. "What is the point of gathering keys if we don't try them first?"

He shakes his head and heads into the new room, looking for anything he can find (traps, items, etc.).

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

In the moment Alex enters the room you hear a voice: "Please close the door before proceeding with the pass phrase."

as ting carefully walks into the room he smiles and say

Keys, we don't need no stinking keys, wroight

hearing the voice he is terribly confused and hopes someone else was paying better attention than he had been.

Alex becons the others into the room. Once they are inside he closes the door, as requested, and says to the wall "Good Baron Sarvo wills it."

Now we find out how truthful the imp was...

The eastern door unlocks and swings open.

"Well, the imp so far has been semi-truthful. Shall we?"

Alex proceeds to the open door and takes a look inside.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

ting breaths a heavy sigh of relief and follows Alex.

A single iron Lever protrudes from the wall next to th door in this otherwise empty chamber's west wall. To the east, a ten-foot-wide hallway curves to the north.

Please move your token :)

Ting goes through the room into the hallway to the east assuming the hallway to be unoccupied to the door at the end of the hallway and checks the door to see if it is locked or trapped.

oy, blokes lets me takes a look see at tha doors, wroight

he will take 20 on perception at the door

Ting could you please do me the honors? Still stuck in on the "can't move tokens due to outdated internet explorer machine" instead of my home one.

Alex takes a look at the lever and keeps moving. "Best to leave it be unless you want to risk setting off a trap."

Hans follows Ting Tang, waiting patiently whilst he determines whether the door is trapped.

"Take all the time you need."

Around the corner Ting sees a four-armed metal construct blocking access to the door. This clockwork servant stands on three jointed legs. A large, metallic key floats in the air next to the clockwork. You hear again a voice saying "Please present the crest for passage."

sorry premature unlockage, oops, Alex your up, you were the one paying attention!

Ting stands in front of the machine trying to not look stupid or guilty, turning back and whispering to Alex.

Umm, Alex ... please tells us you's knows what its yappin' 'bout? wroight?

Hans thinks for a moment, and then nudges Alex.

"Mayhaps it wants the plaque that we found in the torture chamber? Leastways, it did have a crest and motto on it..."

KArcane: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Hefting the plackard with the crest and lineage on it back out of his pack, Alex presents it to the automan.

"Will this suffice?"

Felicitas identifies the thing in fron of you as a clockwork servant. Medium construct

After Alex presented the Family crest the construct steps aside to allow passage into the hallway beyond. the door is still closed

Hans gestures towards the door.

"Ting Tang, would you be a dear and make sure that that isn't trapped?"

ting nods to the mechanical monster

pardon me's wroight

ting reaches up to take the key hanging by the monster, assuming the clockwork servant allows him to and hands it to Alex

'ear ya goes Alex, another keys fer yer collection, wroight

edit he then carefully looks at the door to see if it is trapped

he will take 20 on perception

Placing the plackard back into his pack, and gives the automan a bow of his head. "Appreciated Ting... though I might insist on using it this time once you make sure there are no fun surprises."

Taking the key, he approaches the door.

Once Ting verifies it is safe, Alex will use the key on the door and then take a look inside. Perception check for once he opens the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

The heavy iron door is locked, but not trapped. The clockwork servant stands still while Ting grabs the key.

The key Ting just grabbed does not fit into the door's lock.

ting chuckle lightly, but says nothing, he pull out his lock picks and begins to work on the doors lock...

he will take 20 on disable device, please tell me that he does not offend the clockwork servant :)

if successful he will step away from the door, smiling and nodding to Alex saying

After you's sir

No, the clockwork servant was satisfied with the crest.

Ting manages to unlock the door.

Alex rolls his eyes. "Not a word, my avian friend... not ... a .... word."

So saying he moves into the new space and takes a look.

see perception above.

An area along the south wall is enclosed in a cage of thick iron bars that extend from floor to ceiling. Within the enclosure sit seven black iron chests. To the north, the stone wall has collapsed, revealing a rough-hewn tunnel.

A ghoul is lurking in the mouth of the tunnel to the north awaiting a chance to leap upon whatever dug this tunnel.

Alex can see two slots in the floor, one just east of the treasury cage and one just west.

Alex whispers back to his companions, "Ghoul... hasn't noticed us yet... it is watching some tunnel behind the chests. Hans, mind making with the un-ghouling?"

ting, prepairing to attack the ghoul with Hans, takes a moment to study it.

IE. Studied Target (first time using it, been wanting to try it out)

He whispers to Hans

Oy, gov'n'r, I's'l try and flanks it wroight

I assumed we were in a surprise round, How close are we to the Ghoul, and can all of us see it from our location?

If in surprise round, Alex will take position where he can protect Felicitas while Ting and Hans are engaged with it.

Surprise round, the ghould did not notice you. You can see it from the door through the cage. I forgot to update the map, sorry. Should be clearer now :)

Felicitas is ready to act as soon as her melee oriented friends have charged.
