Agreed, especially because I am stumped! :)

You can roll a 'DM nudge' check (Int or Wis check) if you want.


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

DM Nudge Check 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Samant is clearly still to dizzy to come up with anything sensible. :P


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

still distracted by the kitty...


Male Half-Elf Cleric 5 HP: 50/50

Garion sits crosslegged next to the trap door, clears his mind and seeks wisdom from Desna.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Sovereign Court

Garion recalls that there was another door accessible via the moving platforms... perhaps the answer lies through there.


Male Half-Elf Cleric 5 HP: 50/50

"This trap door might not be accessible from this side at all. Perhaps we should try the other door we saw."

Calix, where are we on the map? T14?


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

Samant slaps himself in the forehead.

Completely forgot about the other door. Nik are you finished grabbing items of interest? If so, grab your new friend and let's go see whats behind door #2


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

NIK Who is just back from Costa Rica where she had an AMAZIN time! :-) And 4 those who follow my Facebook check out the pic I m gonna post today or tomorrow: am I a new gaming addict or what???, tries to lure kitty-toy towards door number 2

CALIX: did Nik notice Samant being distracted by her and kitty? :-)

Sovereign Court

Garion: you're currently in the room at I4
Nik: Welcome back, I don't think Samant was hiding it particularly well, but if he was then you can make a Sense Motive check against his Bluff check.
Samant: Are you back from your honeymoon now? Have fun?

The 'kitten' follows Nik without much goading, and still tries to climb her leg from time to time, but is easily shaken off. The group make their way from platform to platform once more, until they reach the platform that moves adjacent to the remaining door leading from the large central room.


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

Yeah we're back it was a blast. I love Gatlinburg. rented a cabin in the mountains, it's so much better then hotels. Though I have to make another road trip this weekend for a cousin's wedding.

Glad you had fun Nik!


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

NIK will try and check this door very well.
Now NIK noticed Samant is peeking and distracted, NIK will play it up 2 tease Mr Big Club! giggle


Welcome back Samant and Nik.

Before we leave here, is there anything of value that Nik has not already pocketed that would be worth taking?


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

NIK is the safekeeper of Lady Anita's more pricey items! giggle
Of course if the Lady isnt there to reclaim them, well NIK will just have 2 use the money for some work of charity: like her wardrobe!

Sovereign Court

Zeldin: You can make an appraise check if you'd like.
Nik: You've still got an appraise check to make from earlier, and please can you roll a perception check for the door?


Appraise:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Safekeeping? Zeldin questions, with raised eyebrows and a twinkle in his eye, I think ale in front of Garion would be safer than the things in your pocket would be for the Lady's return.


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

Appraise 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Check Door 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

NIK gives Zeldin a BIG smile:
"Men love their ale ... us girls we like the shinier things!"

I knew there was a reason I should have prayed for Create Water this morning rather than Light, says Garion, laughing.

Sovereign Court

Nik finds no traps or any other obvious hazards on the door, but it does seem to be sealed by some form of combination lock. You can make a disable device check to unlock the door, but due to the rotation of the platform, taking 10 or 20 won't be an option.


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

Calix when the "cat" tries to climb Nik's leg is it always the same one?

Funny you should mention that, now that you think about it, it does seem to have pretty much stuck with the same leg it started with.

Nothing else jumps out at Zeldin as being particularly valuable... except maybe the magical liquid in the font and the tubs of ointment.


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

is it the leg off of which her wayfinder is hooked into her belt?

What a coincidence! It is!


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

Disable Device 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Is kitty-toy attracted to Nik's Wayfinder is that what yur saying? Wow way 2 think things out Samant!

Sovereign Court

Nik tries to pry her thieves tools into the grooves of the mechanical lock, but the platform carries her past before she makes any progress.

Feel free to try again on the next pass.


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

While Nik is waiting for the platofrm to pull around Samant will grab his wayfinder from the pack and set it in front of the kitty.

I read through everything twice on a slow day lol

Sovereign Court

The mechanical kitten seems to ignore Samant's wayfinder and continues to follow Nik.


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

Samant looks puzzled as he's trying to figure this out.

Nik I think the cat might be interested in your Wayfinder. I've noticed it seems to only try to climb that leg.


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

"You think so Samant? And I thought it was my Calistrea given charm!"
NIK pouts at the idea it isnt HER kitty-toy is interested in!

NIK tries to wave the wayfinder around to test Samant s idea, see if kitty-toy reacts


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

New Disable Device (when possible) 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Sovereign Court

The 'kitty-toy' leaps up onto its hind legs as Nik waves about her flowery wayfinder, it does seem pretty interested in the thing.

Once the platform reaches the door again, about half a minute after it's last pass, Nik is ready and manages to slide a thin length of wire into a tiny gap in the mechanism of the lock, catching on something within with a slight click. Just as the platform pulls her away, several segments of the mechanism of the lock begin to rotate, She gets the impression that she has made some progress, but she'll need to keep at it when she gets carried back around.


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

I wonder why the automation is interested in your way finder Nik

Knowledge Local for discerning if Nik's new special Wayfinder was the same style as Lady Anita's or Knowledge history?

Local:
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

History:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

** spoiler omitted **
** spoiler omitted **

Samant's Knowledge(Local) check is good enough to recall a comment made about Nik's Wayfinder by a resident of the area:

Calixymenthillian wrote:
"That looks just like Lady Anita's Wayfinder!" Ivan exclaims with a gasp, raising both hands to his mouth, "she said she had it commissioned to her own design!"

:P


Male Human Barbarian 1 (favoured)

so I need to do three rereads.

Nik I think you may have a wayfinder that either was LAdy Anita's or looks enough like it that they automation is trying to get at it. I wonder if the Lady made a way for her creations to... interact with the wayfinder somehow? I think once we have reached the next room set your wayfinder down and let's see what happens if you're willing of course.

To Garion and Zeldin: Is that possible?


Male Half-Elf Cleric 5 HP: 50/50

Now that Calix mentions it, I remember that guy remarking on Nik's wayfinder, too.

With magic, nearly anything is possible, if one is willing to expend the power. Excellent idea, Samant.


Additionally, I believe Nik has the only wayfinder with a working ion stone in it. Am I wrong?


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

NIK seems a bit lost with all those Wayfinder details!
for now she focuses on that door

Disable Device again 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

"We can try it in the other room no problem with me! I just hope kitty-toy can help us out!"

Sovereign Court

In a deft flick of her wrist, Nik manages to flick open a concealed panel on the mechanism that hides several switches. At a glance she immediately identifies the one that must be activated next and flips it.

Once more the platform moves away from the door before the job can be completed, but Nik is confident that she has made significant progress.


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

Disable Device 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

"3rd times a charm!"

Sovereign Court

Nik quickly flips the remaining switches within the concealed compartment, and just as the platform moves away, the rotation of the mechanical segments ceases, and a more conventional looking lock is revealed from behind them.

Nik is approximately (okay, exactly,) 66% of the way through opening this complex lock.


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

Disable Device 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

NIK is on a roll!

Sovereign Court

Nik easily clicks the conventional lock open, to open what seems to be the final compartment of this convoluted locking mechanism, within is a complex lattice of thin wires that appear to link to tiny internal bolts.

She is! It'll be just one more check if she keeps this up.


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

Disable Device 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21


Well done Nik!

Happy 4th to all the Americans

I will be on vacation for the next week or so and will be posting erratically.

Sovereign Court

With a quick flourish, Nik tries to pull on the correct wires to open the door, just as she begins the motion though she senses that something is wrong and releases the wires before anything unfortunate might happen.

Unfortunately that wasn't quite high enough to finish the job, on the other hand, it wasn't low enough to have any negative consequences either.


Male Half-Elf Cleric 5 HP: 50/50

Careful, Nik, I don't think you'd bounce if you fell off now.


Female Human (from the North- Ulfen) Rogue 2

Disable Device 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
