Trouble in Atlantis

Olrune steps back "Anybody got a blunt weapon to smash our way through? Sword wont do much" He says, tapping his falcata against the door

"No, I don't think so... Is that door boarded up too?" Anala asks, slipping her pack off and peering into it. "Oh wait. I bought a kit, that might have one." she murmurs, pulling out a seaweed wrapped bundle, and unfolding it to reveal some tools including a hammer. She wraps the rest of it up and swims over to Olrune to hand him the hammer and peer at his door.
It is the hammer from a Dungeoneering kit, so the tool kind, not the weapon kind.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

I might be able to get us through if you want to let me try. But it won't be very subtle nor stealthy. Also, I won't make any real promises that it will even work.

It sort of screwed up after i posted it. But you can get the basic idea:P

Yes. I thought there were two separate doors that we'd gone to... hmm

Lol no. Thats why i tried to illustrate the room. I could tell my description was becoming confusing. And i cant uplead a map unfortunately because this area in comparison to the whole dungeon is rather small lol.

I have a solution

Olrune breaks the door down and goes to the next room

I could be a b@tch and making you roll a million times. But in the end you will be sufficient enough to break down the door.

When you break down the door, the party is caught into a vacuum as the water rushes into the once air filled room, and the the room fills with water as the group is thrown about.

Reflex saves to avoid damage :)

Ref1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Lol its like 'everybody is arguing about the door' and im like...'BOOM. ok lets move on'

funny I offered the same thing several posts back but nobody noticed that guess its better to just do it and not worry about working together

reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Reflex save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Actions speak louder than words sometimes :)

Anala backs up slightly to give Olrune some room to bash down the door, trying to peer past him to see what's inside. When the door suddenly gives way and reveals an unflooded room her eyes go wide as she is pulled into the sudden vortex of water filling it up. She does her best to quickly reorient herself and peer around in case something needs saving.

@Anala: that is true I just didn't want to catch you in the blast

Oh my bad Arvin, I must have missed when you suggested that

no problem I can just save the blast for a bad guy

::AAAAHHHH!::

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Just a suggestion, but the Swim covers avoiding hazards too.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

I will say that the damage is non-lethal cause its mainly bumping into walls than spikes lol.

This, sort of trap, is mainly a warning to watch your step and be careful when your in here :)

You are all thrown about in a room bashed against the walls in this room and regain your where you are after a few seconds.

So the room is empty then? The perception above was for after things calmed down :)

"Well that was a surprise. I wonder how much of the place is flooded..." Anala muses as she rights herself and looks around, spotting only one exit. "This door or the one in the other room?"

Olrune starts looking around, suspicious of more traps

Perc1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Would Evasion have mitigated/prevented that single point of damage? lol

Gorkhan also looks around. "Let's try not to smash our way through any doors until they've been thoroughly vetted, yes?" he says with a smile.

Perception, +in water, +traps: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 32

::I agree, though I'm not hurt but a little. It was fun though, wasn't it?::

"If we had a drill then we could try each door that way..." she muses

After the bit of a topple throught he doorway Arvin gathers himself together. noticing the small wound on him they quickly close within a round.

I am afraid I do not have any ability like that to drill through the doors and if they are the same condition as the first one I think opening by any means may result in the same effect.

Arvin's hydrated vitality should provide the fast healing needed to heal him of his damage

Its just a doorway to your right, so there is no actual door.

You all see a square room with some various shelves about with what was on the shelves are now floating around.

(there isnt really any traps to be seen)

Gorkhan moves to examine the formerly shelf-bound items.

Livyathan eyes the room curiously.

::I wonder how they got the water out of this room? Back home, when we wanted a cavern with air in it, we made kelp baskets and weighed them with rocks so they would sink upside down.::

Arvin swims in taking a look about the room looking for other possible exits as well as any other unnatural things (such as air bubbles, maybe water draining from the room, etc.)

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

"Didn't Lord Poseidon say that this was something that had been sunk? Maybe it never had water in it; some might have never been flooded if they were sturdy enough." Anala suggests, looking at the door that they had forced open, before following Arvin in to look around.

^AAAyyee... Theres a smart cookie :P

"Makes sense. It looks like we may be the first ones in this area though, unless there are places to move from the water-filled to the air-filled environment without such a catastrophic effect."

Gorkhan then moves to look through the doorway.

Olrune approaches the door, knocking on it to see if there's air or water that awaits them.

Before we go much further. with the possiblity of parts of this place being air filled. it might be a good idea to know who among us can in fact live outside the water?. I can function in both environments without any hinderance.

he stops a moment. and by the way there are air bubbles from that corner over there

::I can breath the air just fine. I breathe a bit faster out of the water, but nothing seems wrong, and I've been assured it's because it's easier than breathing water, slightly.::

While still looking around "Im fine in air he approaches the next door, also knocking on it

"I didn't know Merfolk could breath air.." Anala murmurs to herself as Olrune speaks up. "I can breath either fine as well."

I have completely lost track of the orientation/arrangement of these rooms...

Yup, im kinda doing the 'ok look a door, onward' approach

You here nothing from the door... but you all here "ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"(groaning)

the upper room that was filled with air, and you came from the left side. D=Door, W=Door Way, #=floor, l and - = wall. Hope that helps. Its hard to post a pic cause the room is so small in comparison with the whole dungeon. And the fact that begind every wall is pretty much another room or hall way, its hard to post an image without give much away.

I had to edit that a million times to make it look right... I will try to find a place to upload maps, and i will just have to distort everything outside of what you are supposed to see. I will have proper pics by tomorrow

Well that is good to hear that most if not all of us can breathe air. that might be to our advantage later on.

Arvin goes next to orlune

could you use any assistance ?

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

coming from behind the group...

actually I may have though the noise was from the other side of the door

Arvin turns to see if he can find the source of the noise he concentrates on the vibrations of the water attempting to sense what is around him seperating known allies and whatever is not.

Blindsense 30' in water

something like this

There are bodies on the wall like that. in the room you in :P. Sorry im not illustrating things properly :c. I am trying harder :)

I use my dragon breath >.>
Nareth cautiously turns and draws his weapons

I prefer discussion to be cut down some. In the sense i want you guys to post about puzzles/mysteries/traps/riddles in-game :). This is for everything else :D (sort of) lol

So minimum of out of character discussion about in character matters. Roger Roger.

An alias has me (though it is blank) I will try to get things organised ASAP, but work will be in the way for another couple days, I shall do my best.

Np :) people usually don't post a lot over the weekends I have realizdled :P

Yeah. Well I managed to get something out before work. Still need to spend the rest of my cash and create her profile (and try and find a better avatar picture :p)

I'll try and wait most times for everyone to post before i can continue. Right now it doesn't matter quite as much, but later every move matters and everyone will want to be involved :P

mmm hmm, I'm more or less the same in my PbP :)

ok :)

*yawn* in second thought I will post what's going on tommorow
I have had a long day and I wanna sleep :P

sounds good DM, this looks like it's shaping up to be a fun on. also, is my gear ok? not sure how much this will work underwater lol. for instance, i didnt get rope, which is normally a must on ALL my characters...but i figured i just might not need that here lol

also i made an alias for Sivir, I (as a DM) enjoy it when my players make an alias for their companions/familiar/etc. as it's easier to keep track of. since she's not a high-intelligence companion she won't be posting much unless she's tracking or in combat

Heh, don't mind me, just whiling away the time and getting in a bit of roleplay :)

A post rate of once a day is not too slow for you guys is it? because that is what I have been working under and will on most days be about the only speed I would be able to manage.

Also we are not waiting on me are we?

Its cool man. Thats what pbp is all about :P

I'm mostly restricted to one or two posts a day. It's only when I have days off that I camp the pbp threads :p

Your gear is ok :P. i will say you have a lot of platinum coins or something. Since the merchants in atlantis can make change for that easily. :P

Platinum's better for carrying around, as it weighs 1/10 the same value of gold coins :)

Yeah im not one for characters to be carrying around lots of gold, but i know how hard it can be to spend sometimes so thats why i said just platinum. As anala said it weighs less and also you can carry less of it :)

I should be an @ss and make it like ghost busters where the even the answers you think of count :D... but i wouldnt... consider yourselves lucky -_-

Relying on the staypuft marshmallow man is a well practiced lesson?

Your saying he isnt reliable? -_- and we can all learn a lesson from his fluffy joyful (amazing tasting) face -_-

All of you feel free to list your fears and weaknesses as Orlune did... I promise they won't be used against you...

*evil grin*

Oh don't mind it, feel free to put in all the riddles you want. I'm just not that good at them lol

oh i will... dont worry about that... MUHAHAHAHA

Anala is probably not too fond of crabs :)

You guys still alive out there? :P

still here

ditto

Alive and swimming!

Man im so excited. This is the fun part now c:

Got ahold of azure, Azure sadly cannot continue playing, he has some personal stuff going on. :P

I told him if he ever can come back it will be easy to place him back in the game :)

mmm, he hadn't posted since 7th of December. Bugger.

He rolled a Nat 20 earlier too :P. He just now got back to me.

You guys is slow lol

im here, following along

Its cool lol :P Just want more people involved more often. Like a week without posting is how campaigns die lol

True. We dragons are rather enduring though.

I'll try to post something tomorrow, but weekends are hectic for me sometimes.

Its cool

I'll just drop this here....

My experience with comics is fairly limited. Not afraid of non-pathfinder/d20 games (currently running a savage worlds game on here), but will pass on that one.

As to posting maps, I normally use drop-box, allows you to just upload the files straight from your computer and then link em :)

I'm going to be on vacation starting tomorrow (18th) until the 28th inclusive. Not sure about web access or ability to post, so feel free to DMPC me during that time.

Np gorkhan :)

is there still a game here?

I am still following, hasn't been much activity

I hope this game isnt dead, i've been having fun

Me too. It's so rare to get to play a pseudodragon. :(

Well, looking back at the gameplay thread I think I may have been the cause of this log-jam. I'm stepping back from PbPs a bit, so I'll be dropping out of this game. Sorry if I've mucked things up for you guys, and good luck.
