Ok, no one mentioned that they were going to look around. I will take Kellic's "Been waiting on loot and details" as just such a statement.
Perception Checks:
Kellic:
Byron:
Pixie:
Vulgar:
The group starts poking about and looking through the murky pools. Most of you don't turn up much but Byron manages to find some ruble at the bottom of one of the pools and after feeling about in the debris he finds what feels like a wooden stick. Unfortunately it is kind of stuck. The stick is stuck.
I'll crawl into the water and help him
strength check
Its probably going to take Vulgar and Kellic. Or clear the rubble first.
Outta the ways fellas, movin rocks is Dwarf business, I been doing that since I was a kid
*start tossing aside rocks*
After a fair bit of digging and pulling up rocks you manage to work the stick free. You have found a ...
+1 Quarterstaff
Ok, I will move things along here as we are getting a little stale. After much deliberation the party decides that the magic stick they found belongs in the hands of the monk. The four of you then head back to the stairwell and proceed up to the top of the flight of stairs. At the top you don't come out to a landing like before but rather the stairs end at a trap door above you. It is currently closed.
Reach up and test the trapdoor, as quitely as possible (Stealth: ) to test if it is locked or something.
Byron attempts to gently push the trapdoor upward and realizes that it isn't locked but it is really heavy. One person of average strength can certainly open the thing but opening it quietly is going to be a chore. If it is as heavy as it seems, then when it opens it will likely do so with a resounding BOOM! as it slams open on the floor above you.
Well fellas, I can open this door, but it will alert all of whatever is up there on the other side of it. I'll be happy enough to open the door if you three are happy enough to make ready then storm through it and meet whatever is up there head on.
That is if there is enough room for them to pass by the door opener in this hallway.
Listen pal...how are we gonna storm a trap door above our heads? Lift me up with a rope attached to me waist, I'll go in and finds a spot to tie the rope off, wind it around some heavy boxes or simply pull you up one at a time...unless there are some baddies up there, in which case I'll kill them all and then let ya up...HARRR!!
Vulgar, once the trap door is open you can simply walk up the stairs and through the opening.
I suggest you treat this as you would any other door.
Okay.. Thought it was like an attic access panel
I take it then, Vulgar, that you'd be happy to lead?
Giving the dwarf a toothy grin.
Sorry Byron. I've not been checking here lately as no one else has been posting. Might I suggest you listen first?
