"More gold. This place will make us rich, assuming we don't die horribly first."
feli this is true gold and you figure the ore weighs 35,000 lbs and there is at least 12,250 gps of value there and that you are confident about. of course, aurora is squawking about what he has found buried.
into the bags! And on me back!
"I'd bet my good looks that's trapped." Desmond searches it thoroughly.
The mound of gold is not trapped but you are curious about the chain that leads to the water...it's a good hardness and thick when you unearth it.
Grung starts to chop away two handed at the chain
If you are going to hit the chain start rolling damage as chinks of iron spark off.
The chain snaps by the third whack and the weight of what ever was on the end starts to pull the chain towards the water.
Malcolm reaches for the chain.
Grab it! Quick!
To be fair dm if they wanted the had plenty of time to tell me to stop
As the warrior swings, Karnog yells in dwarven, "Stop! Ya hasty blasted hammer breaker! Why would that be your first instinct?"
Assuming Grungsdi pulls up, Karnog reaches down and casts mending on the damaged chain.
Common: "Patience, my friend. Hasty action leads to poor outcomes. "
You are able to stop the chain from breaking right before it does. With a quick thought the Kegmeister mends the chain. It could be some frothy ale set in the river to cool.
"I mean you could pull the chain back. Let us see what is on the other end!"
Bah, probably some beastie on the other end...and chopping things is fun!
After Aurora speaks I suppose I could help do that...not as much fun though.
He sits and pouts a bit, but will help if asked.
"Here, this should help."
Karnog casts ant haul on Grungsdi.
"Shall we?"
He sets to and prepares to assist pulling.
With great effort you manage to bring ashore a locked iron box.
Felicitas weaves an incantation
"Well if I see this, this reminds me of the Box of Zun-Kothun. Whoever opened the box unleashed many bad things. But it is just a story. And this a simple iron box. Well, you know... I hope!"
Felicitas nothing appears to be magical but you better give e a spellcraft just in case.
bah. Can I chop the chain now?
"I don't see why not. Why dont you cut here," Karnog points at the end close to the iron box.
Felic...nope, no magic what so ever.
Grung takes immense pleasure in chopping the chain apart
There is an echo within the cavern,
no need to hunt! Grung is here! Grung shouts banging his ax on shield
The lock should be snap to open Desmond, it's not trapped, but it is locked so make disable device check.
Is everyone fine on the map or do you want to be moved?
Fine
If it is not enough I will use Gallant Inspiration. adds 2d4 to it.
If it is not enough I will use Gallant Inspiration. adds 2d4 to it.
If you think you need to add something to a dice roll then declare it. Are you adding to his DD attempt?
Well it works retroactivly. I cast it after you said, no does not work.
This word of arcane-empowered inspiration often ensures success of a crucial endeavor. Cast this spell when a creature fails an attack roll or skill check. The creature gains a +2d4 competence bonus to the attack roll or skill check retroactively. If the bonus is enough to turn the failure into a success, the roll succeeds.
felic roll your 2d4
Desmond is quite surprised that when he opened the lock to his amazement he did not set off the mechanical trap that he failed to notice. He recognizes the trap as an insanity mist in the chest.
within the chest are: 14 alexandrite gems a wand.
Make an appraise roll and detect magic and spell craft.
appraise
Grung and Felic know the gems are 500 gp each. felic you have not idea about the wand.
DC detect magic/spellcraft on wand check is 27.
As she didn´t manage Feli casts Heroism on herself and Identify on the wand
Feli - You can try again tomorrow
When using detect magic or identify to learn the properties of magic items, you can only attempt to ascertain the properties of an individual item once per day. Additional attempts reveal the same results.
As you explore the island you notice there are stepping stone across the water leading to north side of the cavern. Visible just four inches below the water’s surface, large stones look as though someone had deliberately placed them there, creating a path of stepping stones leading to the island. Crossing the stones requires a DC 5 Dexterity check to avoid falling into the river.
"THIEVES!"
Map update
#10 on the map are the stones.
We plan to take as much as we can. We have 2 bags of holding I think, but a lot of fools gold in it
Grung will spend as long as he can to fill the bags
Checking for the noise Felicitas will keep an eye out for the trolls and lets the dwarfes gather the gold.
