"Thank you Sherix!" Richard turns to his teammates. "Let's try to climb across this gap." He fidgets with his scroll of Spider Climb.
The scroll almost burns his hands as it disappears, but Richard begins to climb across the pit to the other side. "Alright, I'll hold onto the rope. Come on, every one!"
"Thank you Tal... Now, let's figure out how to cross this without getting impaled. Sherix, can you find something to tie this rope onto? If you can secure it on the other side we can try to climb across." "I did bring one scroll of Spider Climb. I might be able to activate it. In which case I can climb across the pit without trouble."
"Alright, here we go..." Richard braves the trap, hoping someone can yank him back before danger strikes.
"Alright, sounds like we'll need to set it off." He ties a rope around his waist and hands it to Tal. "Hold onto this just in case a pit trap opens underneath me." Richard bravely -and foolishly- steps onto the trapped area.
"Anyone good at disabling devices?" Richard shrugs.
"Ah, of course! >The fine gentlemen warned us< about the pit trap, it's about halfway down here. Also this hallway isn't as long as it seems." "Be ready if the guards on the other side start asking questions." Richard starts to carefully poke the ground as he goes along, looking out for the pit trap in particular.
"Well, that was close..." Richard sighs as they enter the hallway.
"Anyone see anything dangerous?" He takes a look. "If not, let's go that way." He points to D5.
"Alright, alright. Well, can we get in there, then?" Richard casts >Charm Person<, hoping to earn favors in a different method.
Richard pays up the ante. "Ah well, good job then. If you want to head off now for drinks, we can take over. Go on, enjoy the night!"
Richard tosses his coin in. Sherix is fascinated. She should say gambling is bad but... who knows? Maybe Richard will win the pot!
Richard's feeling lucky. "I'll go first, if you're good with that." He tosses some gold on the table. Gambling!:
"What do you think is down there, anyway? Like, all the way down there?" May as well get some information if he can.
"A great way to kill time. Yes!" "...what are we playing, anyway?"
"Lucky guess..." Richard blushes. "Sometimes whimsy is the best strategy. Or it gets a morgh trying to shove his tongue down your throat..."
Richard holds his nose. "Ugh, take the hat and the gas with you, please!" He waves them off. Once they are out of earshot, he frowns at the rope. "Not a good sign... Where to next? I suggest this way." He points towards D3.
"Ah, you know the Council. All secrets, no explanation. They told the three of us to head up here. Said we should relieve the guards and they should take the day off. Get out of the court, get some fresh air, have some fun in the city, if you catch my drift." Richard's disguise is still up, he should be dressed like the guards they found on the first floor.
"So go on, we'll take over from here."
Richard takes the naval captain’s tricorn and casts Light. "Up we go."
"Ha!" Richard slashes the entity once more. "Now then, this was probably the remains of Guildmaster Manus Undiomede/ He ran the guild about 50 years ago and the story is that he disappeared after his noble sponsors decided to move the leadership in another direction." "See? The desk drawers reveals much of the guild’s operation and organization from those days. It's different from the current operation." He sighs. "It's important to preserve the history, it may provide a clue to the current situation." Once the team finishes searching. "I think we've completed this entire floor, yeah? Did we find any stairs?"
"Definitely not what I had in mind- oof!" The thing slams its fist into his jaw to shut him up. But it fails as Sherix speaks for him. "We'll never lose!" She continues to Inspire Courage. Richard nods. "Prepare for the Dance of a Hundred Cuts!" He casts some magic to grant him incredible agility Once that is done, he quickly backflips 10 feet away from the undead fiend.
"It's a habit! Usually it gets me a free night's stay, but-" The creature tries to lick him again. "This isn't my kind of company!"
"Never a dull moment!" Richard draws his longsword and Inspires Courage (+2) amongst his companions.
"A shame, another Guildmaster fallen-"
"Even worse, an unwashed tongue!"
Richard looks at the skeleton and tries to identify it.
Sherix takes a moment to identify it.
"Sounds good to me." Richard looks out. "Where's the nearest stairs leading up? Let's go there first."
As Sherix flies into the room, Richard leaps ahead.
"The coast seems clear?" Richard keeps his whip ready, just in case. If Tal gives the OK signal, Richard creeps into the room.
"Oh well, it was worth a shot." Richard keeps his whip ready. "I guess the disaster will come to us."
"Can anyone disable that?" If no one can Disable Device, Richard looks for a heavy stone he can put on the edge of the uneven floor. Maybe it will detonate the trap?
"Looks like we're all clear." Richard relaxes a bit. "Shall we head South?"
Sherix begins to Inspire Courage amongst the team. "Rats! Get rid of them!" Richard pulls out a vial of holy water and throws it at the swarm. "I hope this works."
It deals points of damage to an undead creature or an evil outsider.
Richard and Sherix keep their eyes peeled for danger.
Assuming nothing is out of order, Richard suggests they move on to C18, then C17. Check these side rooms for potential ambushes.
Richard moves into position and continues to Inspire Courage. He lashes out with his whip and goes after Dark Creeper 2.
"Great, more darkness." Richard grumbles. "I can see, boss!" Sherix pipes up as her darkvision kicks in. Richard begins to inspire courage (+2) amongst his teammates. Then he casts >Haste< to speed everyone up. "Be careful everyone."
"Since we looked at the caretaker's home, let's complete this side. Let's go this way."
"Desperate fools." Richard shakes his head. "Let's not join them."
"Oh, goodness. A cryptic note." Richard tries to deduce meaning from the message.
He also looks for traps. The brown stains do not look encouraging.
Richard and Sherix keep a look out for danger. If none are present, they proceed to the next room. He adjusts his disguise to look like one of the thieves they met. Maybe this one can get further inside without raising suspicion.
"I think I am fine." Richard checks himself for injury. "I wonder if they were sent to guard the area. Or maybe they noticed us. Uncertain." He follows Tal to the door.
Richard nods to himself. Fragile, yes. Maintaining his Inspire Courage (+2), Richard cracks his whip once, nonlethally.
"Let's hurry this up."
"That is Drovenge? I know Captains like to go down with their ship, but this is a bit over the top, don't you say?" Richard points at one of the rogues (dressed in Red) and casts >Hideous Laughter< (Will Save DC 15) Then he begins to Inspire Courage (+2). "Be strong, everyone! These ruffians are fast but fragile!"
He reaches for his whip. "Behind the curtain. Come out, now!"
"If we needed more bricks, I could use the Lyre of Building to make it. But destroying? Nope. I don't have it."
"Huh, emergency remodeling? Or maybe someone is in there who they don't want to escape. Not much we can do here without revealing ourselves and drawin' attention. We gotta move on for now."
"Might as well." Richard takes a look.
Enjoy your trip, GM!
"Well, that was some quick extermination. Maybe we can search this place again?"
"Huh, this won't do as a base." Richard notices the waves of rats coming at him. "Let's get out of here."
"Good idea, maybe the woman left a key behind..."
