Traps and Wards (Erekose 13 Judging) [Concluding]

[IcyCool]

ooc: It's a DC 25 check, but it can be retried unless you roll a natural 1. Without further use of action points, Gimble would have a 2 out of 3 chance to operate the fireplace if he continues in his efforts.

OOC: Does that rule out taking a 20 on the check then?

OOC: Does that rule out taking a 20 on the check then?

Yes... although it (and even taking 10 barring certain class features) is prohibited for UMD anyway.

Finally after numerous attempts, Gimble manages to figure out the command word.

"Err, sorry about that guys. It took me longer than I anticipated," he says as the flames go out.

With the flames gone, a bit more work reveals a trap door toward the back of the fireplace, leading down. The door itself is made of rock and still very hot from the fire.

 

[JRYoung]

"Well done Gimble" comments Rethlin. "Let's use some water to cool this door down".

 

[IcyCool]

"Indeed, well done! I am amazed that we have managed to come this far."

 

[IamTheTest]

Fritz will use the water in his waterskin to cool the trap door.

There, that should be cool enough.

 

[Patlin]

With a bit of water and a bit of time, the stone becomes cool enough to handle.

 

[IcyCool]

Guardian starts to reach for the trap door, then stops. "I shouldn't be too hasty. Gimble, would you check to see if there are any traps on the door?"

Gimble Niffledorn

Guardian starts to reach for the trap door, then stops. "I shouldn't be too hasty. Gimble, would you check to see if there are any traps on the door?"

Gimble will take 20 on Search (gives a 28) for traps on or around the door.
