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.

Quote from: skofflox;451798Assuming Erarht comes as well I will produce the rope and re-tie him, leaving his legs free as I instruct him..."Now we got some business ta tend to. Lets have ya sitt'n nice like on the dias as we go ta work eh?" I will push him towards the dias steps.
The orc seems mildly disappointed when Runch decides to tie him up again, but he complies, as if resigned to his fate.

crossing the dias and hollering through the candle trap room "Nimten, care ta join us for some mop'n up?"  

dazed, looking to Runch  "AH,indeed,but a moment!" as I gather up the wrapped eye and crawl under the traps...whom we all serve...echoing through my mind

returning to the others "Prap's we should wait for Mundels man to join us?" as I eye the area...
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!

Standing by the secret door on the east side of the great circular chamber, Belak asks those nearby, "is anyone a skilled Trapsmith?  If the western room was trapped, then surely this one might be too."

Scratching chin "Trapsmith!?,not my bailiwick master dwarf."

after exiting the candle trap room Nimten  looks about for a bit more rope to tie off the eye package and hang it from his pack before venturing towards the others...whom we all serve...still vexing his thoughts.

You see another discreet puff of smoke erupt through the clutter to the north.

Turning around, you see the ropes leading to the surface wiggle back and forth as Mundle is still ascending on the platform above.

The room grows silent.

DM: Belak is quite a skilled trapsmith himself.

Gesturing "Hmmm. Would rather we stand to the flanks till we see what may come issuing from the room beyond! Hate to get cought in a jet of arcane fire or some such. What say ya Tudd?" as I finger the zemi around my neck...Charlathan protect your humble followers...as I gird myself for action. "Lets get Ylarum and his bunch in on this!" as I look about the area.

As Nimten comes to stand with the others "Whats that!? Ahhh yes. I may be able to aid in this." As I start digging for the material component, bit of sand, to cast my Sleep spell!

Tudd nods to Runch and puts the shovel, pike and pick on the floor along the wall nearby and then grasps his morningstar and shield and readies himself, facing where the others are looking, "I'm ready ta beat stuff brudder."

Belak kneels near the door and removes his backpack.  He rummages around for a moment and produces a rolled up leather case.  

As he rolls it out on the ground in front of the door, he looks up to his companions and says, "although not very skilled, I know a thing or two about locks and traps.  Let me take a look at it first."

Belak goes to work on the lock and door checking for traps.

=======================================

OOC:  Belak fails his Find Traps roll.

"All right then!" as I nod to the others. I draw my sword, heft my shield and step to the right side a bit, watching as Belak goes to work on the door.
Charlathan gird my companions in benefice and work through your humble servant...

Nimten, shaking his head a bit as he notes bug still perched on Tudds shoulder "Ware your little friend Tudd!" as he draws forth a small black leather pouch embroidered with a white hourglass shape (sand for the sleep spell) and steps to the left and back a bit. Looking with interest as Belak unrolls his tools.

Belak gets to work and inspects both pillar and secret door. After a little while switching back and forth, he is not sure there is anything to be worried about. No traces of traps or hidden mechanism besides what is obviously operating the opening of the door itself. But then again, he gets an uneasy feeling he might have missed something.

In the distance, by the dais, you all can hear the ropes wiggling again. Someone, probably Mundel's man, is climbing down at the moment.

DM: Drohem, roll 1d6 twice, once for Belak, and once for Klob.

Here is an updated map showing everyone's rough positions as I extrapolated them from your posts. As usual, let me know if I missed something.
