Door Protocol:

The party stops 5ft away from the door. Dendillion moves to the front of the party and checks the door for traps.
[dice=Perception (Expert) to Seek]1d20+8[/dice]
If he finds a trap, he attempts to disarm the trap, warning everyone to move 10ft back.
[dice=Thievery (Trained) to Disable a Device]1d20+8[/dice]
Repeat this if multiple checks are required
Once he's satisfied that the door is safe he checks to see if it's locked. If it is, he puts tools to work to pick the lock (assuming we don't have a key that fits)
[dice=Thievery (Trained) to Pick a Lock]1d20+8[/dice]
Repeat this if multiple checks are required, or until he breaks his picks (will use a Hero point on a crit fail though)
With the door ready to open, Dendillion moves back and lets Tiny open the door.

Haldan strides and sends of a beam of negative energy through both enemies.

Let's see how they are at Fortitude then.

DC 25 Fortitude for Enervation.

Dendillion continues to let the music flow from fingers, to lute, and into the air. Each member of the circus can feel the courageous anthem in their souls.
[ooc]Courageous Anthem stays up[/b]

Worried for Þóðᛞrekkr, the great bard adds notes to his tune that manifest a soothing vitality that flows through the air and to the hound.

She then conjures up a disc of force for protection. Cast shield, hardness 10.

Looks like Þóðᛞrekkr's first bite should be at least a hit...?

Chark will ask Haldan and Charlie to search the tent while she works. This should tell us whether there's another part of this tent or if we're off to another part of the circus.

Does his room have a door heading north, towards the big top?


Map Templates | DC Chart | Conditions | Abomination Vaults | Extinction Curse| Circus Posts |

This room contains two large cages, their bars decorated to appear as tree trunks. Each cage has a large door that hangs open. Vines hang from the ceiling, and thick leaves cover the floor. There isn't enough light in here to see what's inside...

Lowlight/Dark/illumination:

The cage right near you holds a pair of sabre-toothed tigers. They're in pouncing position. They see you looking at them, yet that's not enough to make them pounce. Clearly they're trained. You still can't see if there's anything in the nrothern cage.

"Absolutely. One second."

Dendillion walks over to Charlie, then strums a C chord on his magical lute. A mote of white light exits the sound hole and glides through the air, only to stop a few inches above Charlie's head. And then the mote brightens, casting its illumination far into the space.
Cast Light. At 4th level it has a radius of 60 ft, with the subsequent 60 ft being dim light. The light is attached to Charlie.

The cage right near you holds a pair of sabre-toothed tigers. They're in pouncing position. They see you looking at them, yet that's not enough to make them pounce. Clearly they're trained. You still can't see if there's anything in the northern cage.

Chark stops in her tracks when she sees the ready-to-pounce felines. Without taking her eyes off them, she speaks over her shoulder to Charlie. Any chance you know how to communicate with these creatures? I'd much prefer no harm come to them if possible.

Asking specifically about wild empathy.

Charlie slowly shakes his head not wanting to trigger the tigers into any hostile action. "I don't know much of a way to calm them down. Maybe I can sneak around and slam the cage door back shut in time?"

No Wild Empathy here. I just have Nature skill.

The party converses at the edge of the room. The cats stay put, but they also NEVER take their eyes off of you.

With the meat distraction Charlie slinks into the shadows as he tries to quietly pad to the side of the door and stealthily shut the cats back into their cage.

"Lovely," Dendillion says, sarcasm evident. "We can't have that happening, not can we?"

He rushes towards the cage of the big cats, grabs the door to the cage, and closes it. Once closed he takes a step back to be safe from them. "There. One less problem."

With a shocking display of strength, the bard slams the cage door shut!
