Gin seems pleading " N-Noo, Ai saw him andu then striked. Ai really triedu to be carefuru.. Onegai.. Forgive me. Ai amu not very hurt. " Gin seems to bow heavily to Miniri.
Miniri looks at the half-elf with curiousity, then sighs.
"OK... its ok.... just please be careful. Some of the traps you might set off by accident might not kill or hurt you, but they could kill or hurt one of the rest of us trying to keep up with you."
Miniri examines the area.
Miniri nods. "Yes, just remember... this is its home... it might be a trap."
She draws her bow and knocks an arrow.
"We'd best be about this if we're doing it, let's just be a little more careful now. Sorry I can't do more for your foot Kunala, I'm still earning the arts of healing."
Gin looks back up from his bow and does so to Elasbeth, before sheathing his larger bastard sword for a More conventional one. He walks northward again trying to be more careful but agitated at his own failure... somewhat mitigated by Miniri's acceptance of his failure.
Moving closer you are pretty sure no traps are here. But you can see one of those gremlins darting away as soon as you enter the cave,
"Prudent, my friend. Caution is warranted."
You come into a cave filled with little scrapmetal. You have no idea how to navigate, but 2 of those gremlins are standing there with a very cleverly designed ballista. With a zing a bolt races toward you. Who was first? The whole area is considered difficult terrain.
Gin quirk a brow as a metal rod flies at him.. only to slightly caress his armored plate and fall to the ground before him.
Seeing that Gin was just shot at, Elasbeth chants quickly. Her body is wrapped by arcane energy which quickly vanishes.
10 feet.
Gin ruses in to take down one of the Gremlins before they can get away, his blood surges with power and gives him immense strength. " Hiiiiyaaaahh! "
Swinging the Normal Bastard Sword with ease.
Miniri takes careful aim and invokes a little of her luck as she looses an arrow toward the gremlins.
As Gin kills the first of the beasts the other looks at him and getting into a manical laughter, laughing about the gruesome death of his fellow. But his laughter is cut short when an arrow and a bullet strike him, killing it on the spot.
Combat over.
Gin flicks his smaller blade against the wall, cleaning it of gore and breathes out deeply. Taking a short rest, before looking at the party as if to signify whether he did well. " Is thisu all ofu them? "
"Safe to say, probably not, I'd wager." Miniri shakes her head as she answers and draws another arrow. "Nice swing... and nice shooting." She nods to Kunala and then looks around herself.
"Well now, that was quick. Well done, friends."
Moving up to the ballista, Elasbeth looks it over to see how well it was built and if she can easily disable it.
Gin nods to Tamoq, " Arigatou Gozarimasu, Tamoku-san. Ai hopu that this is the lastu of the trapsu. " Gin starting north now NOW wary for Gremlins, traps AND ballistae.
You would say it is a clever construction, wicked in its ease. But you have not one clue, why it works. You would say that it should break any second.
Kunala moves a bit closer to the tunnel to have a peak. First he does not notice anything badly but the moment he moves his foot he can hear a loud ..click. From the ceiling a metal rod, sharpened comes down.
Looking down in his body Kunala can see the rod embedded in his breast.
If she sees an easy way to disable it, Elasbeth will do so.
Otherwise she just keeps working on disabling the ballista.
Tamoq assists Elasbeth in her attempts to heal Kunala.
I assume Kunala is hit.
@Tamoq there was no trap on the way to the cave, just one from. The other perception checks were not good enough to detect it.
Gin looks surprised, not being the one impaled and moves to Kunala. " Don't worry Kunara-san, this will only hurt alotu " As he unceremoniously rip the Spike out so that the wound could be treated.
" Ai guessu there is more trapsu.. But no more creatures? "
Slightly startled at Gin's sudden pulling of the rod, Elasbeth saves her annoyance for later. Her eyes begin to glow white-gold and the color appears around her hands as well. She touches the area around the wound and his flesh begins to knit closed.
Miniri also takes a passing look at the ballista, but loses interest when she realizes that it is modern and that Elasbeth has it under control. Seeing the gunslinger set off a trap she again looks around for further ones before moving further.
"Are you hurt much?"
Gin smile and nods to Kunala, patting him on the shoulder as it seems he pulled through nicely. " Ai thinku we aru done. No gremlin anymore. "
@Elasbeth after a few moments and gentle prodding here and there you come to a very simple solution. Whoever made this one is mad.
Not the hahaha mad, but the... lets throw our kitchen supplies out of the 6th floor window in an harmonic order.
You think you have, at very best, a 50% chance to use it. If it misfires you do not want to be in the same room.
You reach the following
Several different passageways converge on a narrow ledge
overlooking a rubble-filled cavern. The far wall is made of a
smooth, dark gray metal. A single circular door, tightly closed,
sits on the metal wall just above the upper level of the rubble.
Rules for this encounter:
Difficult terrain and Jinx aura. Roll every d20 twice take worse
Not yet. Yes you are. No, you can´t with that perception role. No worries, your oponent has seen you.
Gin will look around for any loot and then If he doesnt see anything, decide they had finished their job and that it was time to leave.
Having that feeling of being watched, Elasbeth looks into the room for anything of interest.
Well you see a door at the other side. And you do notice. You just do not know why. You slip somehow, things that should work easely somehow do not work well.
Perc 10 you feel watched. 15 you hear something. 20 you see a shadow. at the south east corner.
