Round 1 With his nerves already on edge, Gil jumps back in shock when the skeletons suddenly rush him. Instinct takes over and he finds his footing. He pulls out his hammer and swings at the creature standing before him.
"Awwwwwwwwww MAN!" shouts Gil as the noises reach their climax. He's moving around a whole lot, trying to shake out all of the apprehension. "Gods! I hate this kind of stuff! Friggin' ghosts or spirits or magic or...WHATEVER! ARGH!" He calms down somewhat, clapping his hands together as he approaches the main doors. "Whatever, let's get this done."
"Amazing that this still standing after so long." says Gil as he examines the exterior of the estate. With a shrug he starts to push open the bronze gate and head into the courtyard. "We best get started right away. With any luck we could be done by mid-afternoon."
"Speaking of, I should go and pick up our next assignment." says Gil. Along the way he also tries to catch some news of how the other groups were doing.
"Ah, that's hard to hear." says Gil solemnly. But his face picks back up a heartbeat later "But if that's what you gotta do Tobias, then best of luck to you. You're too smart for this line of work anyways. Leave the sloggin' to us Breakers, we've got thick skulls after all." and he taps his finder against his head. "What about the rest of you? Now that you've seen what it's like down there are you still up to it?"
Gil shakes the bony hand with his own huge paw "Oh, you can just call me Gil. Like he said, I'm working on behalf of the Breakers Guild to survey the Necropolis. Although right now I actually have some arrangements to make before our next trip out there. The rest of the group is at [Tavern] if you wanted to meet them." ---- There are still things the Breaker needed to arrange before the next site was announced. With Bastion dead and Seeker joining in the lottery would need to be informed of the change in ranks. On top of that the Breakers Guild had some sort of contract with Bastion that likely contained a clause for untimely death. That would needed to be sorted out as well. He also wanted to pick up some things while he was out and about. Shopping: Donating 127gp, 33sp, 63cp Purchasing
34gp, 89sp, 09cp remaining.
PROPOSED GP SPLIT Group Fund: 265gp 28sp 40cp A share of 212gp, 22sp ,and 72cp goes to myself, Dorian, Lilia, Tobias, and Seeker. Hopefully I didn't bungle the math. Anyone have a problem with the gp split?
Level Up:
Having seen his share of bizarre things in the tomb Gil works to steel his mind. If he wanted to keep working in the Necropolis he'd have to be better prepared against whatever trickery it may hold.
Gil nervously offers a hand to shake. He hadn't had much experience speaking speaking on a personal level to the clergy so he was trying to be careful in avoiding any taboos. "Well Mr. uh...Seeker? Sorry, is it alright to call you that? You're welcome to join us in the next delve. We haven't been assigned a site yet, but we could sure do with some extra man power."
Gil prepares a delivery to his Guildmasters along with the tale of his success in the Necropolis. He also turns over the map he had made of the tomb. Fleeced Items:
Meanwhile the Barbarian takes a trip to the church of Opal to report the success of their trip. He does so bearing a gift, the silver holy symbol of Opal from the tomb, to the church. No charge, no strings attacked. A sign of good faith hopefully. Afterwards he makes some quick copies of the papers and the metal book and then takes the originals, along with the darkwood coffer, and offers them up as a historic donation to one of the local Kobold universities. This time to show the Sultinate that he, and the Breakers Guild in general, are willing to play ball.
After a few minutes the Barbarian sludes the lid back into place and says "Right let's start packing this up. I'll get everything into this here coffer. The rest we'll pick up on the way out, let's keep it to just what we can carry by hand."
-----
Yes, is that an issue?
Well I still have the same list as earlier.
Alright. If Lilia or Tobias don't want anything to do with the mummy I guess we can move on. Does anyone have issue leaving behind the chariot, tapestries, or gold masks? And I think we should give Bastion's share to Seeker.
For items sure, though I'd still prefer a close to even split of gp. Regardless I think we should always maintain a group pool to be used for healing, travel, lodging, etc. On a side note: is Lilia still around? She hasn't posted in a while.
In the interest of not defacing the tomb itself and upsetting anything unnecessarily, I think we should pass up the chariot, the masks on the wall, and the tapestries. I'd want to leave the chest and cofferr to, but unfortunately I think we need them to help transport stuff. Also: how do you guys want to do shares? Ideally I'd want to pool the coin, set aside 20% or so as a group fund, and then dole out the rest equally. For the actual items I think it would also be easier if everyone put together a list of what they want by priority and then we can work out some sort of trade if two people want the same thing. Afterwards we can liquidate the leftovers. So something like this: Spoiler: 1) Magic (?) Padded Armor 2) The two metal books 3) The private papers 4) The darkwood coffer 5) The silver holy symbol
I'm just waiting to see if either Tobais or Lilia want to do something with the body. Once they give me the all clear I'll close the sarcophagus and then we can move on.
Gil takes a few steps back once the lid is off. Something about this whole thing gives him goosebumps, makes his skin crawl. He avoids looking at the body altogether, instead distracting himself with thoughts on what the priests will say once they return to the city.
Gil hesitates for a moment before saying "Aye, that's good thinking Dorian. Alright, I'll open it up nice and careful. Tobias and Lilia: you guys are the experts on this sort of thing so just...do what comes natural I guess? Dorian: can you start getting all this stuff together and ready to move? I think most of it'll fit in that coffer." With that Gil turns and starts trying to slide the lid off of the sarcophagus.
"I'll take the chests then. Dorian and Lilia: can you two work on checking the contents of the Urn. Get everything ready to move, once we're done here we can head back up to the surface."
"I...never really considered what we'd do once we got here. I'm kind of at a loss. Tobias, what do you think? You're the one with all of the books."
We had two player slots open up as I understand it, so there's room for two new characters.
"'Cause you've got the torch..." quips the barbarian. After a few seconds of silence he capitulates. "Alright, yeah. Let's get going."
"Man, it's just one thing after another" mutters Gil as he investigates the newly opened entrance now that the combat is over.
"Augh! Ouch!" yelps Gil as flames lick at his feet. Shaking off the pain he refocuses, drawing his hammer and swinging at the insects swarming around him.
Gil asks Tobias to help him search the walls. Gil will start search the eastern wall. This time around he goes painfully slow, searching every nook and crevice he can find.
Unable to find the way to move forward, but also unwilling to give up, Gil finds himself a nice spot to sit down and think. He pulls out the map he had been keeping and starts to examine it. This deep underground, and near a river nonetheless, there would be only so many possibilities for additional excavation. Looking at his notes he tries to put his years of experience as a Breaker to use.
"We still haven't found the real sarcophagus. Is it even really down here?" Gil searches the room for any hidden doors and, failing that, digs around among the stash in hopes that there may be a map of some sorts among the treasures.
Gil examines the lock and begins to tamper with its mechanism. Without the appropriate tools picking it would prove to be difficult. If it were to come down to it the Breaker would not hesitate to simply use a liberal application of his hammer to open the door.
"I agree, for now let's just make note that they're here - maybe see if you or Tobias can get an idea of the age of the remains. Dorian, could you help me with this other door please?" says Gil, moving to the Western door and repeating the process.
Good luck getting everything back on track.
Gil busies himself while waiting for the rest of the group, checking both of the doors that Dorian had pointed out.
Once satisfied, Gil attempts to open the Eastern door first.
"Ugh, it was- it was a lucky shot." groans Gil as he struggles back to his feet. Even then, he still needs a few minutes to catch his breath and collect himself. When he finally regains his composure Tobias and Dorian had found a way deeper into the tomb. His eyes find their way to the grisly remains of their former leader and all he can do is simply cover the body with cloth. "Take whatever it is you need" he says grimly "But do so quickly, we need to continue moving. We still need to be out of the tomb before nightfall." "We'll collect the body on the way out...and I will see him properly buried" he concludes while he waits for the others to finish up their business.
The first dose of foul liquid brings Gil back from the brink of death causing him to sit up and start coughing violently. When a second dose is virtually forced upon him his first instinct is to push it away but to no avail as the cocktail finds its way into his system regardless. Even so, his body continues to resist the effects of the strange liquid in vain.
Seconded, a healer would be nice in the future. I also think we could stand to have some more ranged power and we also need someone with good skills to replace Tobias.
Well it's liable to finish me off before then given that I'm currently glued to it. So don't put yourselves in a bad spot on my account.
Dorian and Lilia: if it comes down to it, don't hesitate to get out of there to save yourselves. We've only done about 35 damage so far which means we've still got a ways to go (I think).
At the very least it'll end up with an awful case of indigestion.
The barbarian manages to utter one last curse before the mimic gobbles him as well.
Man... If this thing kills me I'm rolling a fighter.
Round 1 Gil draws his hammer, about to go all-out on the mimic but Dorians words reach him before he does. He puts on a grimace and waits until the swashbuckler moves into place before unleashing a mighty swing:
Alright that gives me Disable Device at +6 and I can disarm magical traps. No other significant changes (I think Kn: local and appraise go up by 1).
Proposed Changes:
Has Dorian also left? And I'm going to look at picking up a drawback too.
I need to swap some traits and skill points so I can pick up disable device. There may have been something else but it escapes me at the moment.
I have no problem continuing to play. The only thing is that if we are to continue on with only 3 players I'd request the chance for a minor rebuild so that I can cover some of what has been lost.
