Firebeard looked all around the door area for any sign of the opening mechanism. He watched Min struggle with the stone with a grin on his face, then went back to searching.
Still having fun And so after deafiting orcs and troll Brave Sir Robbin is in turn dfeated by a mere stone door.
Looking trough the cracks Firebeard can see a well hidden lever he reaches for it and the door opens revealing a large circular cavern.
Piled along the north and west walls are hundreds of humanoid bones. Most are from goblinoids, but a few are from humans as well. The bones are stacked neatly and grouped by body part: ribs, skulls, shins, hands, and so on.
To the north there is a stairwell that goes up a few feet and ends in a solid stone wall.
There is an open passage going west.
"Well I'll be... it's so organized! And yet... I am perplexed... I don't see no sign of that underwater river I swam in!"
to examine the bones and such.
"look at all the bones! I say in my best fake highland accent.
"Aye, someone be havin' a bi' o' issues here, make no mistake. Still, where's they all come from, an' who left 'em 'ere stacked like cordwood?" Firebeard moved tot eh stairwell and examined the wal it ended at, hoping to find sight of another secret door.
<Hehe..wow, would you look at the bones.>
Yes i have observed as such. Now cease.
<Oh well. I look forward to whatever caused this....hehe>
"All those bones.......This brings up a tale i once came upon. A cave of a verocious beast with nasty, sharp pointed teeth.
A group of knniggits attempted attack, but were repelled. They resorted to an enchanted bomb-tossing."
"What's this ye say about bomb tossing? Is it similar to pumpkin chunkin? Ah... gool ol' pumpkin chunkin. Reminds me of being a lad... before the cruel world came in and turned my heart into the whiskey soaked and frozen husk that it is today..."
The stone wall at the top of the stairs is fused into the surrounding walls in a strange manner. Your guess is that this wall wasn't create by manuel labor like the others but rather created by magic in an effort to seal this entrance.
Or this could have been an ossuary of sorts too. Alright lets go he says becoming serious and weapon in hand will re cast a fresh new light spell
Min will sling his greatsword over his shoulder and light a torch, taking the lead with his pal Gloin.
Heading down the west passage?
Min hums a little diddy that one of the bards he used to roadie far used to play:
"Here we are now going to the west side..."
Works for me...
Heading down the west passage So far so good Min !
"Aye, this passage seems suspiciously empty... be on your guard my friend!"
Checking for tracks
"yup, totally empty!"
The passage leads to a large graveyard were you find 65 graves stones marking 65 mounds of earth. There doesn't appear to be any other way out of this cavern at first glance.
Gloin will approach the grave and look to see if there are any markings in order to have a idea on the type of creatures.
A rather large graveyard...
The writing on the stones is in common and the name seems to be a human one.
A human graveyard well at least this is that. Right then let's turn around going back our way and take the other passage
"Hmm... I seem ta remember an Orc graveyard elsewhere in these tunnels. I wonder if they are connected... There has to more to this place! Why would it be all blocked off like it was.. mebbe there's treasure?"
Min takes a saunter about the place, looking for tracks and other interesting things like that.
min, we aren't grave robber you know, at least not these graves.
"I dun wanna rob the graves, just the gold inside them! What would I do with a grave?"
Gloin just looks at him rolling his eyes.
I look at the graves, then turn slowly around, as if to remind myself, back toward the cavern of bones. Then I turn toward the graves again, then back toward the cavern of bones. Finally I stand not facing either, cross my hands over my chest pointing in opposite directions and say
"If the bones are back there, what's buried here?"
Min roll a will save dc 17.
If you fail you attack the party.
+1 if this is a fear effect.
Does min get a surprise round? or does he kind of begin to go all angry like? Can I make a perception check to tell if he is about to attack us, and thus get a shot at Initiative?
You hear a voice that seems to come from everywhere at once.
"You will not take my treasure! You will not defile this place! I will kill you all and collect your bones!"
Min suddenly begins to tremble and reaches for his sword and charges Ozren running him trough before he can react. Ozren spouts up some blood and collapses to the ground.
Firebeard, Lilly and wags are before Min, Firebeard is after Min.
Min you can play your character I will jump in when something else happens.
Dire, any of the docs on the map with berserk Min?
knock it off Min, that's not funny. Look what you did to Ozren. It's going to be so hard to put all that blood back inside of him.
I'm going to try and daze him every round, could the rest of you try to knock him unconscious?
"Min! Wha' th' blasted hells d' ye think ye're doin'?" Firebeard rushes Min, and attempts to wrap the large fighter in his burly arms.
I see Min has his CMD listed at 19, but I think it should be 18 (2 BAB + 4 STR + 2 DEX). If you don't mind double checking that, as it could have a HUGE effect on this roll
Grabbing his weapon gloin takes his time to react in order to see what is happening
Hey stop trying to dodge your friend, you know that only improves your armor class, right?
I knew I should have held up that bottle of rum when I tried to daze him...shoot!
Min, horrified as his body becomes taken over by an unseen force, struggles helplessly and his limbs are moved against his will.
NOOOOOOO!
His eyes flash wide as Ozen's blood drips from his blade, and he then finds himself running at this nearest friend, sword ready to strike once more.
Thoughts rapidly fly through Min's mind, not something that happens often.
'Wags, no! My Maneuver defense is also improved by my dodge!... wait whats an armor class?!'
I have a few errands to run, so I think I might miss the rest of this encounter, so, just so were clear, I will run, full out run, away from Min with the rest of my actions when my turn comes up - Min, yes I know that see, it was bold, like my character really said it, so I was kind of going for a breaking the forth wall kind of stupid comment that Wags would make :)
nener nener, you'll miss me if you do, I can out run you, and stop starring at my boobs!
well min its going to be you vs me and can you gess who is going to win?
Lilly looks baffled at Min's actions.
<Well now, seems the brawl for brains is under some influence. Not the alcoholic kind though.>
Shut up Ib.
"Min, CEASE YOUR RAMPAGE.
Move: beyond Min's reach southwards.
Wags, Firebeard and Lilly have acted so now is Min's turn.
He needs to make the save vs command and if he makes it he can attack.
No specific target was mentioned so you just attack whoever is closest until someone stops you.
Also Gloin make a knowledge religion check on your turn and anyone else with ranks can also make a check on their turn.
You have seen enough to guess that Min is being possessed by an evil spirit. There is a chance that hitting min with enough positive energy could drive out the spirit.
Min, fail your save. Or else....
Don't ask what else to a mentally unstable person ;)
Min finds his body at odds between to opposing forces, each one not his own. He thinks to himself:
'Lilly, sweet beautiful Lilly! You have saved us!'
