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.

[OOC: Again, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK]

Gareth grabs his comrade by the arm (cannot remember his name right now) and tells him:

"My friend, I hear a chant coming from the room on the west side, right by the red lantern. I think it is the source of these horrors! Quick, we need to take swift action! Let's move over there!"

Gareth points to the door on the west side. As soon as my comrade is ready, Gareth will slide over the pressure plate, so he will cross it fast enough to be unaffected by the trap. After that, he will move on to the west door.

IMPORTANT: He will not spring the trap if his comrade is not aware of what he is going to do!!

Precise that last part for me. As I understand it, you're going to basically slide over the pressure plate so that your momentum carries over to the other side, instead of your weight springing the trap.

How's your comrade (Smeads) not being aware of what you're going to do important, here?

Yes, my idea is to move over the pressure plate to fast to spring the trap, or failing that, to be beyond the area of effect when the energy shock fires.

Add to my last sentence on my discourse: "If we slide fast enough over the pressure plate, I think we can avoid the trap faster and safer than trying to jump over it or disarm it! Time is essential!"

[OOC: I don't want to fit more discourse here, it seems unrealistic to me to give a more lenghty explanation]

DM: OK. I think I'm getting it. You want to take a few steps back and try it? Roll 1d100 my friend! It'll be based on your Dexterity, which is always good thing for a giant killer such as yourself. :D

You take a few steps back, and sprint like hell towards the trap. You duck suddenly, and use your momentum to slide over the pressure plate's surface to land on the other side of the trap. Success!

DM: Gareth did his action. Nimten basically moved and is done as well. Othos and Smeads still have an action this round.

Then I'm moving to the west door ASAP, hoping that Nimten is right behind me. Things are going to get ugly for the Hidden Chorus of Hell in no time.

Othos pushes back to the "armory" room to see what is distressing Dallow.  He will not block the doorway.

DM: Smeads (Lilaxe) you mean, who's with you. Not Nimten (Cranewings), who is with the others in the room with the orcs/goblins at the moment.

OK. Just waiting on Smeads now to see if he's going to do the same thing as Gareth (with 1d100 roll as well).

My bad, I'm still getting the hang of who's nickname goes with what PC's name. Harder than it seems.

Anyway, The Singing Boys of the Underground are going to start eating shit with a shovel for a spoon very soon.

ooc: (putting this post here so folks see it) If everyone could please put their characters name in their signature it would be appreciated!
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

DM: I will jump with Gareth to the other side of the trap.

Smeads makes it to the other side as well (You can thank your high Dexterity for that, mister :D ).

Alright! New round. People by Ylarum and Dallow, consider that the porter basically describes what's going on in the circular room.
