That works for me.
Gauntlet is not much for consumables unless it helps him repair his damage.
As afar as the wand of MM is concerned: I carry a wand sheath in my left arm. Once it's empty again I just want to have something I can put in it as needed if nothing else comes along later.
Otherwise somebody else can have the wand if they may need it or have a good UMD.

... if you use it, it's gone, if you don't use it it's as if it wasn't there anyways.
Let's do this, then ^^

Frank E. |

• 1 masterwork Talenta tangat halfling two-hander weapon?
• 1 wand of magic missiles (1st level)>Gaunlet
• 1 cloak of resistance +1
• 3 potions of cure moderate wounds
• 1 potion of invisibility -> B?
• 1 (undamaged) suit of half-plate armor
• 1 flametouched iron holy symbol (Sovereign Host)>Frank can carry in his haversack for selling later
• 3 vials of antitoxin
• 1 vial of acidic fire -> B? probably: d4 fire + d4 acid on hit, 1 fire + 1 acid splash, d4 fire damage next round (extinguishable like alchemist fire)
Maybe Broulnindre should hold on to the invisibility potion and the acidic fire for now? Or might someone need to sneak inside the place? xD
Also, who is most likely to disarm a trap (possibly with his face) in the workshop? I vote that guy wear the cloak for now xD
(Frank likes to hoard things and can carry a few more pounds in his haversack, so I'll assume that Frank is holding on to the consumables that no one else claims...)

EE is our skilled Trapfinder. He should get the cloak if he does not already have one yet.
My ability to find traps is...falling into one.

EE can find traps but not disarm them. Since some other characters had the ability, our beloved Warforged retrained his skill so as to not overlap niches too much.

Dev Blake |

I think after the reworks, we decided Kana was our best trap-disabler?
Especially magical ones, and especially-especially if B might be upstairs.
How about EE and Gauntlet up front, and if they find anything, Kana disables it?

Frank E. |

Sorry, guys - I'm still here. I'll try to get caught up by tongiht...
Welcome back, Viorr!

Looks like your admirer is still following you :-)
---
So we have two plans:
1. Frank heads in to scout initially, OR
2. The Group heads in full force with the 'Forged leading the way.
OR option 3. Frank can scout THEN after he returns, have the 'Forged forge forward. :-)
Give me an idea of which you all prefer, 1, 2, or 3 (which is sort of like 1 & then 2).
No worries Viorr, tis the Holidays :-)

Frank E. |

As far as scouting goes, B is the best at reporting back (telepathic connection with Frank), best at being extracted (standard action in emergencies), most disposable (if she dies, she comes back the next day at half hp), quite sneaky (I can improve this by 8 with a buff), and probably also the best at spotting things :D
In fact, scouting is what B is for :3
Frank might be too spooked by the weird bird, but I think B should make a few Perception and/or Stealth and/or Disable Device checks before nondisposible teammates head in xD

Gauntlet of Sharn |

I never said we were disposable...just the most easily repairable.
I will go with whatever the consensus is. Gauntlet is really not in any hurry to go into any Cannith place. He has bad memories of similar places, but is not afraid to go in first either.

Frank E. |

I never said we were disposable...
Me neither.
Even if you count B ;pBy "most disposable", I didn't actually mean she's disposable per say, just that she... can die without staying dead; i.e. she's the character that we have to keep alive the least.
I could've said "least necessary to protect", but the rest of my list was things she's best at, so I had to make a will save not to phrase it backwards like that :P

Kana Cherryblossom |

I clearly favor staying together and not somebody going alone.
That sucks at table and even more in Pbp^^
Even though it might be the better tactics.
We can do some scouting ahead though, perhaps a room or something.

Frank E. |

Don't worry. I understood what you meant either way. I'm not offended.
=)
Oh good, I was afraid that I might've waxed too poetic for a minute there xD
Oh, and...
1. Frank heads in to scout initially, OR
2. The Group heads in full force with the 'Forged leading the way.OR option 3. Frank can scout THEN after he returns, have the 'Forged forge forward. :-)
Give me an idea of which you all prefer, 1, 2, or 3 (which is sort of like 1 & then 2).
I didn't pick a number xD
In case it wasn't clear: I vote 3
Frank E. |

BTW, let me know if anything weird happens that moves Broulnindre more than 100' from Frank xD
edit:
Cool, let's go
Everyone is welcome to follow Frank directly, but It's probably fine to rely on Message to whisper back and forth until B gets so far in that Frank would have to enter the maze xD

Kana takes a step back and to the side, just in case...
It's just a jump to the left...

You bring your knees in tight...

Frank E. |

Part of me wants exactly one character down the hole, but part of me wants Gauntlet to have back up if something bad happens xD

GM the Dragon Below |

FYI, Sharon has withdrawn from the game and will be NPC'd until this trip to Whitehearth is concluded. I will likely just leave her outside to keep an eye on the wagon and horses.

Frank E. |

Darn.
Good to know, though.
Edit:
If extending the ladder doesn't happen, I vote we tie rope to the rungs of the ladder xD
Also, Gauntlet was going to use the blue thing...

Yeah, I wanted to give a few more days to PCs that have not responded much to see if they want to go down the ladder before I have Gauntlet use the key charm.

Electric Eye |

What? W have a device and the chance to use it and we're gonna miss it? No way!

Meridian Anterian |

I am honestly a little confused as to who is already down the ladder and how much room there is down there.

Storyteller Shadow |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Only Gauntlet is down there at the moment. There is enough room for half of you comfortably. ALL of you could crowd in, if you want to...
Note that I have a map up :-)

GM the Dragon Below |

We are stalling out a bit here.
Kana and Gauntlet are in the room.
Viorr has elected to stay down.
Please let me know if you will go down the ladder before Gauntlet activates the Key. By Friday, if I do not hear from you, I will assume you stay in the cave above and move us along...

Frank E. |

It's probably fine, guys xD
Even if the top gets sealed shut, Broulnindre isn't going to just let that treasure sit there...

Storyteller Shadow |

Could you give a description what could be done to the device?
The key charm can be used as was the case with the hatch, no other use appears applicable.

Frank E. |

Everybody has to make checks even though I warned them first? Acrobatics? I thought it was Reflex? I was not planning on sticking the key back in suddenly once removed either. I was only trying to reverse what I did originally...even if that is currently impossible by the current estimation.
Everyone down there probably need checks because no one knows which key-hole goes to which direction xD

Electric Eye |

<Happy New Year, humans.>

Storyteller Shadow |

Got distracted there, was waiting for Gauntlet and as that was the next logical action, I simply had him perform it to move us along.

GM the Dragon Below |

OK, we are in Whitehearth and on the last leg of the quest!
It only took a few years...

Meridian Anterian |

Outstanding.
