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.

Ylarum would have to jump to cease the edge of the platform before it is completely out of reach.

DM: Roll 1d100.

Hearing the shout, Ulas takes a step back and takes partial cover behind the corner to his left, but still keeping an eye north.

seeing the platform start to move..."Wha'the!?" lunging up the dias to help Ylarum grab the platform quick like!

Nimten rubs his chin in thought and turns to look at the tentacled corpse then the rest of the room...if nothing else jumps out at him he will shrug and find another bit of debris to throw into the candle room. He will be looking at the large piece of furniture as he gives the un aimed toss...for anything that may stand out to his elven senses...
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!

1d100=1

assuming no mods! :P

DM: Lower indeed... :)

Ylarum catches the platform and manages to keep it from swinging widely on its elevation axis. He stabilizes and can pull himself up onto the platform while it is still being raised up towards the ceiling. What does he do?

The lights flicker widely and disappear in a fraction of second following Ylarum's warning.

Nimten tests his unformulated theory, throwing his piece of rubble into the corridor while trying to catch a hint of something, anything moving or changing within the room. The trap is activated, and Nimten does not notice anything, despite his keen elven senses.

Being pretty sure most of the living creatures below us are dead, and we're now dealing with cleanup and exploration, Ylarum will look up and shout "OI!  WHY ARE YOU RAISING THE PLATFORM!"

"Ooo, ooo... I wanna dangle in the pit.... where's a pit? I wanna dangle, can I dangle, please, please?" Tudd exclaims excitedly, dropping the tools and gear he was carrying all over the floor with a clatter as he jumps up and down.. Seeing Ylarum grab the platform and climb up, Tudd stops jumping with a frown, then starts pouting, "Awww... I wanted to dangle...."

Runch had expected the platform to swing after Ylarum's trajectory, but it didn't, and the half-orc misses it by a few feet, landing on the dais unscathed, and panting.

Quote from: thedungeondelver;447016Being pretty sure most of the living creatures below us are dead, and we're now dealing with cleanup and exploration, Ylarum will look up and shout "OI!  WHY ARE YOU RAISING THE PLATFORM!"
Ylarum's voice carries through the vertical tunnel, reverberating off its vaguely circular wall. At first there is no response, but then, the platform stops going up suddenly. The ropes' tension causes the platform to slightly wobble, but Ylarum makes the best of it and stays in place.

An unknown male voice echoes back down the tunnel from the surface, five hundred feet above. It is intelligible nonetheless, perhaps due to the mineral qualities of the earth surrounding the shaft. The voice is deep, and firm: "ARE THE REST OF YOU SAFE DOWN THERE? WHY ARE YOU NOT ANSWERING THE BELL'S CALL?"

Looking up at the platform..."We fair well! What is the meaning of the bell?"

Nimten studies the tentacled corpse closely for a short time...looking at the beasts eye structure and musing on more component harvesting.
Taking the wrapped heart out of his pack to check the binding as well...

Quote from: skofflox;447149Looking up at the platform..."We fair well! What is the meaning of the bell?"
Runch's question (which I presume is shouted) carries through the shaft, albeit rather faintly.

Unbelievably, it seems whoever is at the other end could actually understand his words from the echoes that reached the surface. The answer soon follows:

"WORRIED YOU WERE WOUNDED AS WELL BUT COULDN'T MAKE IT TO THE PLATFORM AFTER YOU SENT US THE FALLEN."

"ARE YOU COMING UP?"

Quote from: skofflox;447149Nimten studies the tentacled corpse closely for a short time...looking at the beasts eye structure and musing on more component harvesting.

The eye of the creature is unusual, surely. Whether it could be sold or somehow used for some alchemical process would require further study, but this certainly is a possibility.

Nimten then grabs the wrapped heart out of his pack and inspects it. It is still beating regularly, as if the creature were still alive, though the drying, dull eye the elf just inspected told him otherwise.
