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: Cranewings;424505Nimten grabs Rissthil and a couple others.

"I've got an idea. There might be goblins around the corner right? Why not act like the trap has been disarmed, the goblins must know that is what we are doing. We act like it is disarmed and then use a couple planks to make a bridge over there, or just wall run across. As long as we don't jump, they should still think the trap has been disarmed. If there are a bunch of them, run back across scared so that they give chase. They will run across the pressure plate, just like they will think we did, and get blasted."

"Will we be able give them the idea that we have done so? I'm not sure they are even capable of understanding language. If we cannot disarm the trap, I think it would be best to try to move around through the armory door."

Quote from: Lilaxe;424428DM: is there a keyhole to look through?

"I can hear shuffling around, most likely those goblins we saw. Im checking if there is a way to spy into the room, if not, are you guys ready for me to open the door?"

Whispering in reply " 'haps we should try to take'm live fer some info?!" looking to Tudd to see if he comprehends

I step out of the direct line of the door and motion for Tudd to do the same then nod to Smeads as I raise my longsword in salute...(waitaminut)...motioning them close..."We could do a bit o Orc talk, like to fool em afore we bash on in?" as I gesture to Tudd.
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!

"If you want to try to talk to them you can try...I had thought though we were trying to surprise them..I dont think they will be open to negotiations as they seem possessed or diseased and out of control."

DM: the door only has a knocker, or does it have a handle or way to open it? If there is no obvious handle, Smeads will gently grab the knocker and try to turn it to see if the knocker itself acts as a handle.

There is no visible handle to open the door. You grab the knocker as carefully as you can. It seems to you this could be used to push the door inward, towards the room beyond, rather than towards you. The stone frame around the door confirms these thoughts.

*snip*.

Seeing the reason in this I nod "Maybe we should get the others in on this afore you muck about with that door?" then go back my position at the latch side of the door, a short pace from the wall. Shield set and longsword at the ready I nod to Tudd to take the opposite side and then to Smeads...

Tudd nods in return at his brother, seeing the serious set of Runch's jaw, and readies himself on the opposite side of the door.

Nimten leaves the trap and walks over towards Tudd. Offset from the door a few paces and behind Tudd, he nods in approval.

Othos, finally breaking his attention from the map, looks around.  Apparently the party has shuffled about.

[OOC: I'm totally for moving along and trying to eliminate any threats (as is Othos, as he alluded to a few comments back.  However, I haven't the foggiest idea where everyone is at this point.  Can we get an update from folks on the OOC thread and then maybe a map once Ben has our feedback?]

Rissthil packs up his thieves' tool in the leather case, and puts the case back into his backpack.  After he puts his backpack back on, he stands up with his torch in hand.

He sighs heavily and says, "the maker of this trap was skilled, and what exactly needs to be done to disarm is beyond me at the moment.  I agree that we should move around the trap, if we can, and take the fight to the goblinoids.  Let's not give them anymore time to prepare for our assault."

"I'm with you, my friend. I will test my skill against this trap...later. Nimten's plan doesn't look bad to me, either, but I am not sure if we would be able to deceive them"
