I was enjoying the scenario, hope this can continue...

Whispering...Don't you think this area is strange? On the other side is a place for housing residents, and in here there are lots of strange devices...but where are the people who lived here?

Whispering...Hey...Kieran...

I carefully survey the the room, to see if I recognize the use or purpose of the machines, devices or contents within:

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Knowledge Engineering: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Strangways, do you detect any magical emanations in this room? Kieran, what do you think about this machinery?

I approach the metal door and examine it to see if it is locked...
Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Once unlatched, I open the door and peer inside.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

My eyes immediately focus on the masterwork short sword, and I quickly grab it! I also take the potion of resistance. Nice!

Strangways...how about casting detect magic about this room...

I inspect the chests for traps and locks. If any are trapped or locked, I will attempt to disarm the traps and unlock the chests.

GM: Do you want a separate roll for each chest, or one roll to rule them all?

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

I carefully open the wooden door and step inside the room, continuing to look about for traps or hazards...
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

I check the two doors for locks and traps...

Iron Door:
Perception - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Disable Device - 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Wood Door:
Perception - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Disable Device - 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 or, Take 10 = 17

I look around the room, to see if I notice anything interesting or unusual concerning its contents or construction:

Knowledge (dungeoneering): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

I put away my crossbow and climb down the rope to assist Orvan...
Climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Acrobatics (in case I slip): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Orvan, let me know if you see any locks on the grate...
I load another bolt into my crossbow.

I lean over the edge and fire a crossbow bolt at the fish...
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Here's my rope. Let's tie them together and see what Brambleburn can discover.

I carefully peer over the edge of the tubular structure, point the glowing bolt downward, and then let it drop.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

I put away my crossbow, but retain the bolt in hand. Someone cast light on this bolt...then I'll drop it down and we'll see how deep this pipe is from here to the bottom.

Is anyone able to detect evil or detect magic? Cast the detect spells past this door...please?

I sheath my sword, and hand my torch to Antheia. Then I equip and load my light crossbow...

Muttering...Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

I slowly open the door and look past the doorway.

I examine and search the body floating in the slime...
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Hmmph! It's just...slimy goo!
I wade forward through the slime until I am adjacent to the next door, and examine it for locks and traps. I also listen to see if I hear anything on the other side.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Even in torchlight my eyes deceive me! Can I take 10, which would result in a 15?

I look over the sludge, the body, and the door, trying to see if there is a hazard present...

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Knowledge (dungeoneering): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
uhg...

I light a torch, and hold it aloft with my off hand, and unsheath my short sword with the other hand. I'll lead...just cover me!

I start slowly, carefully walking down the hallway...
Perception: Keeping a sharp eye out for hazards. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

I put my shoulder to the door and give it a push...
Strength: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Some of you, come over here and give me some help...

Hmmm....
I look carefully around the room, and then examine the door, checking for traps and locks...

Perception (the room): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Perception (the door): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Ready when everyone else is. By the way, GM, I would like to change my Lost Tavalan Explorer skill from Survival to Knowledge (engineering), with your permission.

It appears we will arrive in some random place, so we should be ready for almost anything...

Level one rogue, for your consideration...
