Cast CLW twice on myself
-13/47 hp
-8/45 HP
Thanks, Kael
After picking up the dust, Pnin goes to inspect the doors on the right.
Another trapped door.
Pnin works on the door:
Gonna use Inspired Trait here:
Benefit: Once per day as a free action, roll twice and take the better result on a skill check or ability check.
aiiiiii caramba!!!!
Pnin fumbles as he tries to disarm the trap and four bolts of electricity arc out from the door towards each of the party members.
DC 20 reflex save for 1/2 damage
+ Evasion = No Damage: -8/45 HP
Assuming I still need to disable the door:
Both your rolls failed, if the second had succeeded you would not have triggered the trap.
You disable the trap this round.
-7hp.....that was a tricky one Pnin
Kael dodges directly into the bolt of electricity.
-9/50HP
uggh!
-22/47 hp
San looks at his blade closer....and wonders... hmmmmmmm lead blades.....interesting....my sword seemed to bite a bit deeper....
-9/50HP
Won't help to save this if we die before we use it.
Goddess...
Another burst of healing energy radiates from Kael as he reaches for his holy symbol.
Both your rolls failed, if the second had succeeded you would not have triggered the trap.
Full HP
Looking at his scorched companions: Sorry friends, this forsaken place seems to have brought a string of bad nerves with these traps.
Onward
thats ok Pnin....ive been told i look younger without eyebrows....it becomes us.....henceforth we shall be known as the browless brawlers..thank you as always Kael for your goddesses blessing....
Kael follows behind Pnin.
The door opens to a rough passage that leads downward at a steep angle.
Pnin proceeds cautiously down the slope (as long as it is still easily walkable in both directions. If not, Pnin will tie a rope and descend trailing a rope.
Kael pauses-Pnin, let's check that other door before heading down the passage. Hate to leave something behind we might need or might be a threat.
Curral, can you please detect magic about this laboratory to make sure there are no other items of value?
sanrael looks at the items on the table....and at the table itself
Pnin can make it down without a rope its about as steep as a set of stairs would be only there are no stairs. After about 60' it mostly levels to a slight downward grade. The rough passage widens from about 10' to 20' wide. It continues on.
To Kael: Alright
Pnin goes to inspect the other door:
Pnin finds no traps.
Everyone roll a d20.
-bow down before Kael the Mighty!!!-
Kael motions at Pnin-Hold on a second there Pnin. I'm certainly no engineer or architect, but I think that door leads to the pit of undead we passed over earlier. Unless San is still feeling particularly spunky, we should just leave it alone for now. Maybe we can come back and clear it out. Like I said, I don't care to leave enemies behind, especially those that might be a future menace to other less well equipped and prepared individuals.
In the meantime, I guess we can finish seeing where the other tunnel gets us.
Lead on Pnin!
Lightheartedly, almost kvetching: Pnin wait, open this door instead . . . Pnin wait, don't open this door . . . I mean I buy your logic well enough. I just find your advice humorous at times.
Back down the slope!
Kael thinks about it for a moment-I hear your jest, but you are right. The duty of being first to the door is a heavy one and filled with myriad dangers. I honor your willingness to take the risk and will be more mindful of that burden in the future.
Unless I think you should open a different door first.-Kael chuckles at his small joke.
perhaps you two should get a room at a cozy little tavern next time were in town... Sanrael laughs.....
Kael just looks stonily at Sanrael thinking-Just when I was forgetting that I didn't care for your company, you go ahead and refresh my memory...
Pnin laughs at Kael's jest.
He simply shakes his head in frustration at Sanrael's antagonism.
After about another 60' the passage is blocked by what appear to be spider webs.
It's like a prom invitation from Lolth, Pnin.
Curral chuckles, Let's see if she's supplying the egg-sac corsage.
Kael takes a long look at the webs and surrounding area (take 10) before heading towards them with a lit torch and some oil-Give me a few minutes and I'll burn these out. Maybe we somehow got down to the level where those other spiders were.
Yes, I was thinking about fire . . .
Thinking about webs and spiders and misadeventures:
Taking a closer look at the webs with Kael:
Kael and Pnin can see many sets of eyes gleaming back at him from within the webs.
Assuming there is no other way but through the webs:
Kael looks at Pnin-Spiders, not your favorite I know. Give me a moment.
He then steps forward a few paces, clearly showing the torch and oil, and calls out to the creatures in the webs-I see you skulking in there, creatures. If you can understand me then know this-I have no reason to kill you and destroy your nest, but if you do not let us pass through unmolested I will have no choice but to destroy you and all you hold dear.
What do you decide?
I say we try to light them up. Of course, we might have to deal with flaming spiders attacking us . . . Pnin shakes his head at the notion
Sanrael sees the spider eyes too. Pnin doesn't know anything new about spiders. The spiders seem unaffected by Kael's speech. You have not explored the pit room with the undead, its possible there is some other door or passage in there. You are not aware of any other unexplored doors or passages.
Sanrael uses his wild empathy skill......to try to soften them up
he speaks truth...we need not destroy you....and upon our return we will bring you an offering....let us pass
If Sanrael's much better roll does nothing then Kael starts burning the webs.
