[Ptolus/AD&D] OOC Thread #1

Which way does it open?

Towards the inside of the room you're in (that is, both doors at each extremity of the room open inward, towards the room, rather than the red lantern or armoury).

Gareth: do you need a lantern to see? I dont so if you want to shield or put it out we can move in with infravision

[Drohem]

I don't think that it's a good idea for Smeads to open that door and allow our enemies three points of access to us.  Currently, there are only two points of access to us if we're counting the trapped hallway.  However, since they're kind of avoiding the trap for now, that means that they only have one point of access to us through the armory.  

Just my 2 coppers, so take it with a grain of salt.

[Cranewings]

Does Nimten have any experience with this sort of thing? Does he know if his sleep spell will have any effect?

Also, he is pretty far from the room with the chanting. Does he know anything is going on near the trap? Of so, I'd like him to move that way.

My thought is to neutralize whatever or whoever is animating these things.

[Benoist]

And are there any polearms in this room, or just the hallway outside?

Just the hallway outside.

No and no. No he doesn't have experience with that sort of thing, and no he doesn't know if a sleep spell would be effective against them.

Take a guess.

Assume that Dallow related to you guys what he saw, which is pretty much what is described in that post. From there, it doesn't seem to me out of whack to think your character could add 1 and 1 and think that these guys are going to move somehow, like near the trap, for instance. Plus, Rissthil just opened the door between you guys and the Smeads/Gareth duo.

[Cranewings]

Well, if they are undead, sleep won't work... But if they are collections of quarter hitdie paracites it should carve through them

Wishful thinking maybe. Guess I'll find out in a minute.

Do not need any light, let's get in and stop the chanting.

[Lilaxe]

Right! Let's go!

[Imperator]

Right! Let's go!

It's going to rain PAIN.

[Drohem]

Whisper: "What are you doing? We do not understand what is happening here!" With a gesture, Gareth tries to stop Riss. At the same time, he tries to locate the source of the canting. Have they ceased?

Hey, you're busy doing crazy shit on your own, so I'm doing my own crazy shit.

[Benoist]

Hey, you're busy doing crazy shit on your own, so I'm doing my own crazy shit.

At any point of an adventure, when it seems one is getting stuck or whatnot, I've always found that as a player, it always helps to do some crazy shit! Sure, my character might die in the process, but it often leads to breakthroughs!

Also sorry guys, I've been busy with stuff this morning.
I'm going to post on the game now.

OOC: A piece of music for the scene

Good call, by the way, Ramon.

[Lilaxe]

Can Gareth and Smeads continue to act this round, or do we wait for next round?
