[pfrpg] follow me into shadows

"Are you all right?" he asks Sindri, :Umm, what is this... thing" he asks the scholar, as he jumps over to the next pillar away from the center one (taking 10)

Sindri laughs weakly. "I don't know yet." He holds one hand out trying to keep it steady but the trembling is pronounced and he isn't able to still it. Finally, he gives up trying.

[sblock=Julius] the Scholar responds Are you there yet? Did you see the gem stone?! You have to get it, that's the whole point of this entire trip! My research tells me it's part of a powerful magical spell, one the worshippers of the crawling chaos, who built this temple, kept secret. They didn't want anyone touching the gem: it seems to have been the key to their magical supremacy. Hold me up to it, I need to see it for myself![/sblock]

OOC: as he jumps over to the next pillar away from the center one (taking 10) You can't take 10 on jumping from pillar to pillar; it's a single attempt. However, the DC is 10 for each jump (Sindri just pooped on the dice before rolling, frankly, and apparently doesn't have the ability to jump).

"I'm no leader." Angus says softly, as much to himself as to those around him. Still, what the heck he thinks and suddenly bellows "JULIUS DON'T TOUCH THAT STONE." at the top of his lungs.

Turning to the others, Angus continues "I'm only a simple Solider. This is all beyond me. You thinking types are going to have to sort this one out. Are you saying that there is something down there that needs killing or is our patron trying to hoodwink us and release some evil into the world."

Ragnor Drakechild

When Angus says this, Ragnor exclaims "Angus, Jack, don't talk restrain him! I hate to think this but our 'patron' may try to influence him through the amulet!."

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

Julius' voice is panicked, "The scholar says we need to take the stone to stop the evil, but I don't know, what should I do?" he says

jump: 1d20+10=14

 

[GlassEye]

Sindri runs his hands up the sides of his head clutching at his hair. "I don't know, I don't know, I DON'T KNOW!" He stares at Ragnor. "But Ragnor's sense for people has got me through tough situations before... How much do we really know about our patron anyway? Maybe he didn't come down because the protections in this place block him from entering. We can't trust him." He presses the heels of his palms against his eyes but that just makes the darkness swim and he quickly uncovers his eyes. "The gem has been undisturbed here for gods know how long. I don't think we can take the chance of releasing these things."

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

"Sir" Julius says to the scholar, his voice shaking "I can't take the gem off the pedastal, If it can do anything like what we think it would be awful, and I just can't, after seeing what happened to Sindri, I just can't" he says. Slumping down on the pillar.

Angus replies to Ragnor's exhortation to restrain Julius "Sorry I can't. there is no way I can make it over the stones without taking off my armor. By that time it would be too late."

Angus is relieved to find that Ragnor's fears are groundless and that Julius is in full control of himself. However, he does start up the stairs to talk to the scholar. Shouting back over his shoulder "Let me know if Julius start to do anything foolish." Seeing Julius slump to the floor, he starts running.
