Ayedan heads aft toward the rear of the ship, "Things are likely to be in better condition in this direction as the other is smashed."

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

Seeing no one so far, Ayedan waves back to the others for them to approach.

"Ship it is then! Let me scout ahead and see if anyone is onboard without giving our presence away. When I wave you over, come on. Unless of course I go up in a ball of flame. Then you can assume they know we're here." Ayedan smiles and then heads toward the entrance into the ship slipping from shadow to shadow.

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

"I think it may be best to look around the city. Maybe see what we can scavenge from their ship to repair ours. We need to watch out for them but focus on our getting out of here."

There are two reasons for that rule that I can see:

1. You can get into a lot more trouble split up that you may not be able to handle; IE the thief goes off an get's himself killed.

2. This is a group game and splitting up losses that, especially in face to face games. I know it's less so in a PBP but it still lessens the sense of group.

Rule Number 1 of adventuring: NEVER split the party. That's in big bold letters.

I'm ok with you being in front of the party, but not more than a round or two away should you run into trouble. I'm assuming from this that we are all together now or are the rest of us still well behind the first two?

"Let's see if we can find the others. They should have never left on their own." Ayedan then heads off to the right.

Ayedan boosts Sunny up, "The door is that way. They should be waiting for us. Let's go!"

Ayedan moves off quickly toward the metal door.

[ooc]Sorry for the delay. Yesterday evening got way too busy to fast and I never even sat down at the computer.[/b]

"We should all help Sunny get her mount out. Once that's done we can proceed down the hallway. I'll take point if that's ok with everyone."

Ayedan then rushes off to help Sunny extract everything she needs from the ship and leads her back to the door.

Ayedan sprints to the front of the group, "Let me take the lead and stay behind me. I can make it hard to see me and look for dangerous things."

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

Ayedan cautiously looks around, trying to keep to the shadows and speaks up, "Has anyone seen signs of people? It looks like we crashed into someones expensive home and they are not going to be happy!"

Addressing Ebran's question, "I haven't found anyone else yet. I think if we move to the voice we may encounter others, then we can search more thoroughly."

Ayeden has the best view of the mess about to happen sitting up in the crows nest. He watches the ships as the both descend through the clouds and down toward the ground. Seconds before his ship hits the ground, he leaps from the crow's nest in a swan dive but doesn't fall like he should. He floats down like a feather, saying this way and that. He immediately starts to pick through the rubble looking for survivors.

Upon hearing the voice, he works his way in it's direction and calls back "Ayedan here! I'll work my way towards you."

I should be all ready to go. I went with Unchained rogue. If that is a problem please let me know and I'll make a few changes.

I was hoping to be good people. Pirates will work but it's an evil empire we're fighting, if that's ok. In which case just call me Han :)

Ayden stands just under 6 feet tall. He has long flowing bluish silver hair. He is typically dressed in his gear wearing sturdy black pants and a grey tunic underneath. Looking at him it's hard to see where the air stops and his skin starts.

This isn't going to be good for the ship. I should climb up to the crow's nest and jump out as the ship crashes. Hopefully there will be survivors for me to help.

Dotting in here

Happy birthday! Enjoy your day.

Ayedan collects his daggers and then heads to the doors on the left and peeks through.

Ayedan pulls another dagger and throws it at the statue to finish it off.

Dagger One Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Ayedan stays to the side of the group out of everyone's way and throws a dagger at the statue.

Thrown Dagger: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (5) = 11

Ayedan stutters as he says, "Anyone else have a guess? I don't particularly want to fight it."

Ayedan suddenly comes into an on-guard position and laughs. "It's just a mirror. I nearly peed my pants there for a moment." Ayedan lets out a long sigh.

"I guess I should get to it."

He then moves into the room and begins looking for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

This is getting monotonous. That mirror will teach me to stay on my toes though.

Ayedan heads to the left and checks the door for traps by taking a few minutes and then opens it after it is determined to be no longer trapped.

Taking 20 on searching for traps for a 26

Ayedan turns to the others, "It looks safe. Which way next?"

He then looks behind the tapestry to make sure nothing is hidden there.

Ayedan waits for the others to stand back and then begins looking for traps and disarming them if needed.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Disable Device: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Ayedan sits after his marathon of trap removal. He takes a long pull from one of his water skins.

"Ok, I was joking about earning my keep but good graces I think I just did. I hope every room isn't like this or we'll never get done in time. I think in the next room when I look for traps I see if we can just go around them, or only disable the ones that will form a clear path. Everyone ready to move on?"

The boards at my post! It was there I swear.

After helping to get the door open Ayedan steps forward and says, "I...I guess it's time for me to earn my keep. I'll go first and look for any traps. I'm going to take my time unless you are in a hurry.

Taking 20 on perception giving a 26. If you want to go faster just convince Ayedan and he'll start making rolls

After everyone is down, Ayedan looks at the big oread and says, "Askaya, it looks like it is you and I on the door again."

Aid Askaya Str check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Ayedan reaches the end of the rope. It barely reaches the end of the shaft. He'll have to hang from bottom of rope to drop the rest of the way to the floor.

I took that to mean I stopped at the bottom of the rope and I was the only one climbing down so they can pull it up and tie more onto it.

Ayedan climbs back up the rope and then pulls it up after him.

"Let's tie these together and try this again, with less excitement", he sighs.

Ayedan shivers and shakes off the bugs for a moment and then stops trying.

Someone really doesn't want people down here

He shouts out, "It's just an illusion!

He then continues down the rope.

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Ayedan stops and looks as the wall crumbles. "What did you say?

New piton is P on map.

Ayedan pounds in the new piton and ties the rope to it and starts his downward climb, taking it slowy, quietly, and looking for any traps on the way down.

"Here goes nothing. Nice knowing you."

Climb : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Ayedan begins by testing the existing piton to make sure it's in there good.

There is no way i'm using the rope there but this piton might work if it's in good

Ayedan looks on at all the activity for a moment and then says meekly, Um....why don't you guys let me go down first. I've some skill with climbing and being quiet and unseen and let you know if it's all clear. You know.. if you guys want."

Ayedan picks up the old crow bar and hands it to Askaya and then uses his to aid Askaya in moving the wheel.

Str check Aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Once the wheel is moved, Ayedan says Hold on a moment. I don't want this to close behind us. He takes a few minutes to make sure the door doesn't shut by using the old crow bar and some rocks.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 I'm assuming I can't take 20 on this.

Ayedan looks at the crowbar curiously. Is it a very old crowbar or new?

Ayedan steps forward and carefully enters the tomb.

"Allow me to enter first and I will check for any traps which may be present so we all stay safe."

Ayedan moves into the tomb looking carefully for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Don't know how many I'll need to reach the far side.

Ayedan moves to the side for Askaya and smiles. Certainly my Oread friend. Brawn before beauty!

Ayedan searches for more scorpions and seeing none get to work on the doors. He pulls out his crowbar and tries to open the door.

Would everyone please update the map when you move. At least to me currently some of the positions are unclear. I need to try and set up a flank next time and I need to see who's where to do so.

Ayedan fires at the scorpion to the rear (AG7) hoping to get it before it realizes he is there.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (4) = 6 Second is sneak attack assuming it's within 30' and hasn't acted yet, otherwise ignore second 1d6.

20d20

50d20

10d20

Boy I hope that is not the damage we are going to take :)

Ayedan drops the bag he has, snaps his fingers and points in the direction of the top right of the tomb. He pulls out his bow and tries to find someplace to hide, if possible.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

I have two sacks we can use to help move the dirt. We can make a pile out of the way and then have a clear way in. Make sure not to try to open the doors until I can check them for any traps.

Ayedan then pulls out the sacks to help with moving the sand and gives one to Satati.

Ayedan stands with a frown on his face. Something recently knocked this down and went into the graveyard toward the back wall. I'm curious but that is not our job today. The tomb is. Do we check it out or go into the tomb? Ayedan has his bow out and ready as there is a lot of open space in this area.

Ayedan takes a look around, paying particular attention to the gate trying to see if it was moved recently or if there are any footsteps in the fresh sands.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

As Ayedan walks through the gate, you see a whirlwind of dust starts surrounding him, as you've seen in the past whenever Ayedan is expecting trouble. I agree, the northern route is best.

At last we can get away from all these people. Ayedan then drops in behind whoever is leading the way.
