Igneous swallows hard as the blade just misses him and swings his mace at the set of bones once more, losing his flank as the foe turns towards him directly!
Mace Attack - - Damage
" Look here Bonehead! Your time has past, and you look tired so howabout you go back to bed!" He says as he takes another punch.
Lizbit finally gets in a solid jab.
"This is getting a bit boring now, time to end it perhaps..."
That does it, Ruhk's attack destroys the skeleton. And yes all of you helped wonderfully!
All the skeletons are destroyed. END COMBAT!
"Well, that was an adventure, heh."
"Is everyone alright?"
Igneous grimaces, "That was much harder than it should have been eh.
Damned dead. Odd that the family crypt has undead right at the entrance, did they purposefully set the dead to roam to stop looters?"
" Probably mad the grandkids havent come around and they got restless." Anton says with a chuckle.
Their swords are rusty. So you can get tetanus if you get hurt from them. There is a chest that you can look at to see about opening. However, just straight ahead.
"Hmm, I somewhat doubt this was intentional.
They WANT us to succeed after all, if so, they'd have warned us about this right?
...
Hmmm...
Assuming this isn't a plot, and we've been tricked into going into a crypt for some nefarious reason of course."
"Ugh! Stupid skeletons!" Lizbit pants, her shoulders dropping. Her spear hadn't been of much use against the poor souls, but miraculously none of them had managed to hit her in return. "Well, let's keep going. We hafta at least find something I can use to un-paralize Handsome. Poor bird." She moves onward, towards the chest, spear at the ready. She casts a couple useful exploratory spells.
You see a chest on a dais. There is a lock on it that does not look rusty. it's made of wood and iron. It has a crest on it that matches the crest of the man who sent you here. One of a black eagle.
"Anyone handy with traps? If not, perhaps we can throw a rope over it and drag it to us..."
"No sadly I am not. Though I have fallen into a lady's trap now and then."
"Maybe that old guy's ring is in there!"
"Maybe that old guy's ring is in there!"
"Oh I agree.
But I am wary of traps..." Igneous wrinkles his nose as he insects the area, wishing for the first time that he was a thief...
"I could throw something at it?" Anton says, throwing a spike in his hand.
"I could throw something at it?" Anton says, throwing a spike in his hand.
Igneous shrugs, "Sure, try that, let's see if it triggers any traps or such".
Lizbit pokes the chest and the floor around it with her longspear.
Anton was ready to throw and then sees Lizbit poke it and sighs.
"I'll heal you if you get zapped"
A green gas (chlorine) begins to come out of the chest and fill the room. You all have to make reflex saves in order to get out!
"Whoa! Not good..."
Reflex save -
Ruhk and Igneous managed to escape the Chlorine gas cloud. Lizbit and Anton were overcome. There is time to get them out, but they are succumbing to the poison.
Lizbit and Anton, take 4 points of damage.
Igneous grabs Anton motioning for Rhuk to grab Lizbit!
Anton groans and coughs as he steps back and coughs some more.
" who...who farted" He says with a weak smile.
Needing no further prompting, Ruhk grabs Lizbit and pulls her along with him.
You managed to get everyone out of the Mausoleum. As everyone catches their breath, it takes a while for the gas to dissipate.
"Maybe we should rope and drag that sucker out now...."
"Maybe we should rope and drag that sucker out now...."
Yes, it would be.
Igneous attempts to lasso the chest.
Survival
Igneous attempts to lasso the chest.
Survival 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Success! You did lasso the chest. Pulling it is another matter, though. As it is very hard to pull.
"I'll pull, help me lads and lass!"
Strength
*Coughs* He takes up some slack to help.
*Coughs*
"From your mouth to my ears."
You managed to get the chest. It's made of ordinary pine wood. The trap has already been breached. So you just need to get it open.
If no one can demonstrate skill to open the lock Igneous will smash it off with his mace.
If no one can demonstrate skill to open the lock Igneous will smash it off with his mace.
You don't have the right key.
Igneous does indeed, open the chest. Inside are about 2,000 silver pieces, a necklace made of rubies and gold, and the signet ring.
"Check to see if any decernable marks or names are on the jewelry" Anton says curious and cautious.
"So's that the ring that old guy was lookin' for?"
"I'd say that's the ring, but we should leave the rest and lock up, I'm not here to steal the clients treasure after all, just what he paid us to take".
"Awfully decent of you, old chum.
...
Alright alright, I do agree with you...in principle."
Igneous grins at Ruhk, "Look, if the rest of you believe you should, you should, I just don't want to take any of it".
Igneous will palm the ring for their employer. He turns to Lizbit, "I've been injured a bit, any way you can heal me my friend?"
"No, I don't think it would be wise right now. We're still not quite at a point where I fully trust our employer..."
" Healing can be done. Though It will use up my spells' Anton says with a smile
