Did the perception check detect any traps? If not then we will open it, but not right now. Note to self--Keep this in mind.
Just to be clear the sarcoughagous is spinning(with us pushing) in a counterclockwise direction and it pointed toward the yellow hallway on its way to the green one?
In any event I say we just handle the events in order. So if the yellow hallway causes a rumble I say we deal with that first. There is no logic behind this, so feel free to suggest moving to green if you wish.
The search did not detect any traps.
Yup, the platform is spinning clockwise (it actually wont move counterclockwise), and when it was facing the yellow lantern, the rumbling started. It's not locked down or anything, so you can keep pushing it towards the green, but I figured you might all pause when the commotion began.

I suggest we wait for the yellow lantern rumbling to finish before we do anything else.
And before we open the sarcophagus, I suggest you take 20 on your perception check, that's where the traps are more likely to be.
I also want us to have a closer look at the corpse near the blue lantern. We need to know how he/she died.
After we see what the yellow path brings I will check the dead body.
Harold; Don't mean to be rude bur Elvar has a certain lack of social graces.
I won't be getting into any confined spaces with Elvar then.
For the next steps, I propose:
-To let Elvar disarm the trap in room below the yellow lift alone :-).
-To go and explore that part of the dungeon after moving the big block together.
-Afterwards, to come back up and go and check the corpse near the blue lantern and to check if there are lifts near the green and indigo lanterns.
Sounds good to me.
You mean the tubes in the statue mouths?
sounds good to me.
Added the goggles to my sheet.
I'll make sure I have ray of frost prepared next time I get the chance. It's not much per shot but I don't think the mold is going to chase me down while I'm casting.
"I don't know of any cold spells either...well without involving me touching the thing...which I'm not eager to do". "I say let's go on then re-address this at a later time".
@Garish: It depends on the situation, but I usually just lump them all together if it makes sense to do so and if you're taking 20, I assume that you're scouring the area for everything.

ok. If I take 10 I am doing the same thing. :)
For other rolls I will be specific. :)
hiding enemies:
traps/secret doors:
other:
If I need to separate traps/secret doors let me know.
I think I know how to solve the door mystery but I need to have Elvar describe exactly what he had seen (i.e. what GM Fanguar wrote). Can I assume that without metagaming ?
By me, yes.
I agree with Bones, we should explore each passage in order if unable to open the secret door.
The question is, do we want place the lantern we are carrying and light it before we attempt that branch.
I think it's safe to assume that you'll share information with each other. If there is something that I think should really be private and up to the discretion of the person to reveal, I'll put it in a spoiler.

Thanks.
Cute, the first swarm we encounter is immune to my AoE.
they are acid beetle swarms... I'm sure I can throw all kinds of other horrible swarms at you that will be susceptible to your acid cloud
and technically, they are susceptible to your grease spell
Elvar Bones asked to borrow a torch in the gameplay thread. That decision, assuming you have a torch will determine if he fights or flees.
Bones, even if you don't have a torch; you should still be able to use your channel energy.
Garish channels positive energy, so unless this is an undead beetle swarm, he will not be able to harm them via channeling - you need to channel negative energy in order to do that :-/

Yes I saw it, Elvar has two with one in his hand and you can have it as Elvar is running with his remaining 3 hp. I didn't give it too yo sooner because my actions were limited by nausea.

My post was confusing. I was indeed referring to using channel energy to heal those of use who got injured by the swarms, especially Elvar.
Ah, that makes much more sense :-)
good point. I told ya I am new to playing clerics. I will post in the gameplay thread.
Heads up, I'm going out of town this weekend and I highly doubt I'll have access to the interent from friday evening to sunday afternoon GMT.
I will check the treasure, and then decide what I will do in town.
Talia just plans to buy some more oil. As for treasure, for the moment, we've found the elven bracelet and two wands. There's also a magical armor worn by Harold.
plus the goggles and the (two?) statuettes.
plus the goggles and the (two?) statuettes.
That as well. We can try to sell all that (except the goggles and armor) and share.
3 statues, 2 wands, the armour and the goggles
The wand of shatter may be useful in the future. We can sell the wand of unseen servant though.
I'm hesitant in selling either of the wands actually, you never know when you might need them and besides, both have less than 10 charges iirc so they wont make a huge impact on our gp limit.
I'd also like to suggest we split the loot acording to it's total gp value. Add everything together, wheather we sell it or not, so we can see the total value and divide that number among the pc's. Fair?
I realise that I am the person who will benefit most from the following suggestion at present, but...
I usually favor a policy of simply ensuring loot goes to the person most likely to benefit from it, with any excess loot being sold and divided equally.
That way, when, say, we run into a Headband of Vast Intelligence +4 (or something similar), the PC who takes it does not end-up with a 'debt' to the other PCs.
It also makes book-keeping slightly easier ;-)
That said, if someone else wants the armor we found, I am perfectly willing to give it to them.
I agree with Harold.
Items should go to those best suited for their use.
I agree with that also.
As for going back to town. I just plan to get some rest before returning back to the cave/cavern/cairn.
I am indifferent about returning to town. The only swarms we'll have difficulty with are those with acid resistance. Hopefully that is rare.
Rest was on my mind as well, not sure if we actually need anything right now.
If the only reason you want to return to town is because of swarm paranoia. I guarantee that there are no more acid resistant swarms in this dungeon.
As for equipment, since we are playing with 6 PCs and the AP is designed for 4, I have to add in other treasure to keep up with wealth by level, so if for whatever reason someone really starts to lag behind in the loot department, I'll make of point of adding something that would be useful to them.
I don't care if we return to town or not. My character has not reason to go back right now.
I guess we're staying then. Rest it is and then; down the hole!

That's fine with me.
