This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

"Snave, get your lantern lit and on the end of that pole; stand behind us.  Stay out of that goop on the floor!  Tarm, you're in the vanguard with Snave."

Tarm's looking around at the room, visibly impressed. Snave snaps at him: "Come on, now. Heard the boss, did ya? Move it, man!"

They move into position. The basket is lifted back up almost instantly.

Rissthil hears Othos speak to Nimten and pales slightly as he asks, "Othos, do you mean those creatures were diseased?"

Benoist

Snave pales as well at the mention of a "disease."

He looks at Ylarum and asks: "Sir... are we in danger of catching somethin'... unnatural or somethin'?"

Tarm just looks back and forth between Snave and Ylarum, wondering if he did something wrong.

Ylarum to Snave: "No, lad, if it were everyone in the tavern above would have it too - the foul spirits would've wafted up the open pit, yeah?  So just stay away from the pink goo, and don't meddle with any creatures we bring down, alive or dead.  Besides," he smiles as he says this, "we'll all soon have enough coin that a touch of the croup or nosedrip won't be a worry - we'll find a cleric to tithe to drive it off!"

Snave nods silently as Ylarum speaks. It clearly looks like he has a doubt at first, but the mention of hard coin instantly overrides any instinct of self-preservation the man had a moment earlier. He shifts to Tarm, and yells at his face: "Com'on now! Take your spot now! Chop-chop!"

He looks at Ylarum with an "underlings' got to be kept in line and I got your back" knowing look, and nods to him.

Meanwhile, the basket comes down for its penultimate run.

"Now, let's not be too hasty, Smeads," Rissthil says, "smashing it could damage the contents and render them worthless.  Let Gareth or myself have a crack at it before we resort to brute force."

Turning to Gareth, Rissthil smiles and says, "why don't you have a go at it first, Gareth?"

Benoist

DM: Rolling for Gareth since Ramon is away.

Gareth accepts the request and tries to work his way through the lock using a set of pins to help him in his task... and succeeds.

Who wants to open the chest and check out the contents?

"Perhaps it wasnt broken then and maybe my skills are not as good as they once were from spending the last few years studying books..."

"Someone in armor should open it...just in case"

Excellent.

"Tarm, let's have your spear for a heartbeat..."

If no-one objects Ylarum will push open the top of the chest with the spear (or if he's not close enough, he'll hand it to whomever).  Put a yard or two between them and the chest first.

(DM: that broken-ended ... I'm not sure what it is, cistern, fountain, whatever that follows the NE wall quadrant, from 1 to 3 o'clock - what is that?)

Othos nods to Rissthil.  "Well, yes.  I believe that is the case.  But I agree with Ylarum... I doubt it's something being carried around on the air or something like that.  In fact, judging by the way the last infected goblin tried so hard to get a nibble on Nimtem, and the fact that all of our foes had bite and claw wounds, I would venture the disease is spread through bodily injury somehow...

Yes.  The more I think about it, it makes sense.  We would all be served well to avoid bites and scratches from these things.  And to bind and clean all of our other wounds, in case I am wrong or only half right.  The goblin was suffering a terrible fever from the disease as well, so I reckon there will be plenty of warning signs if one of us does get sick.  We can be cautious without being silly and paranoid."

Ylarum pushes open the chest. Nothing happens.

It's long trough, or stone pond if you will (like the other undamaged three in the room). It was shattered on its eastern corner by some great force. There are also numerous pieces of lumber, probably remains of furniture and such, that are scattered in the direct vicinity of this corner that broke.
