Redbadge's Crypt of the Everflame (IC)

"Fine by me." Joseph walks back over to the door.

Isklexi · Aug 30, 2012

Snaggle jumps up and pulls down the lever with his weight, "Alright go."

Courage · Aug 30, 2012

After grabbing the sack in the center pit with Joseph's help, Gamble will line up next to the remaining unoccupied lever. When Snaggle gives the go ahead, the gnome pulls his lever in concert with the other two.

There are a series of whirs and clicks that run down the walls, originating from the levers and ending at the locked door.

*Thunk*
*Thunk*
*Thunk*

Following the final thunk, Joseph is able to easily push open the door, revealing a 10-foot hallway ending in a T-intersection. The noise is clearly coming up from the left. By holding the door open, Joseph keeps the bars from re-locking it when the others release their levers.

When Gamble arrives at the door next to Joseph, he renews his light spell once more, before handing the sack to Joseph. "Here, you can take this. I haven't looked inside yet, though."

At the bottom of the sack, you find 4 platinum pieces and a small scrap of paper, folded in half. Unfolding the paper, you are able to read the following:

Three to open, but be quick, for the door will only open for those who work together

GM:

What is the marching order and other preparations you make as you move forward?

Isklexi · Aug 31, 2012

"An admonishment for teamwork? Is this supposed to be an annual rite or a play school for hatchlings?" Snaggle grumbles as he takes up position behind Joseph.

BudroThePious · Aug 31, 2012

Joseph will be in the front with his morningstar out with Light freshly cast on it.

Courage · Aug 31, 2012

"Yes," replies Gamble to Snaggle, taking up the next spot in line. "Joseph, you can add those coins to that other coin purse we found. We'll split it up at the end."

Gamble makes sure to look around carefully while the group resumes their exploration of the crypt, keeping his club and shield at the ready.
