D&D 5E (IC) (OneShot) JustinCase's Within The Circle

[EarlyBird]

Thadius looks down on his former companions as he sits in the clouds. "A door with no way to open," he thinks to himself. "Glad I didn't have to deal with that."

He shrugs, but continues to watch contently wishing to know the outcome of all this.

 

[JustinCase]

After searching long and hard, you are convinced there is no handle, switch or anything to open the door. There must be a clockwork mechanic behind it with no outward lever, or perhaps a specific form of magic is needed to gain entrance to the next room.

Traubon seems distracted, not looking at the door bur rather at the neatly placed pressure plates in the floor.

"Odd," he mutters, kneeling down at one, "Isn't the point of a trap to be unexpected? These are placed in obvious distance from one another, easily recognized... And then there is the poison."

He sniffs cautiously, trying to keep the fumes out of his system while still attempting to identify their nature. "Diluted laeriss, if I'm not mistaken. Favored by snakepeople and reptiles, but harmful to humanoids."

OOC: You're almost there...

 

[Azurewraith]

"Harmful to humanoids, your telling me ... I'll tell you now I feel like I kissed a runaway carriage. I'll stand here by the door everyone else pick a plate."

OOC: I knew it was the plates.

Magdalena frowned at Traubon. “Snake people and reptiles?” she asked. What did that say about this Circle?

Magdalena glared at James as he declined to help with the plates. She shook her head, pushing her dark locks out of her face. She wasn’t feeling all that great herself, but nonetheless went and stood on one of the plates to hopefully open the door.

OOC: "Not harmful to humanoids, he says... Actually, he said it IS harmful to humanoids. She wasn’t feeling all that great herself, but nonetheless went and stood on one of the plates to hopefully open the door. Which one?

 

[Azurewraith]

OOC: Oops ill edit that out my bad

 

[KahlessNestor]

OOC: Actually, he said it IS harmful to humanoids. Which one?

Oh, I thought they were exchangeable. She wil I'll stand on the one nearest the door.

Gorir

Gorir watches the discussion about the plates and the poison. "I guess the right sequence is required to open the door. he says walking towards the next plate, he wasn't keen on poisoning himself, but his dwarven constitution meant he was less likely to fall ill than the others. He muttered a prayer to Moradin as he took the final step onto the plate.

Too late he thinks out loud, "Perhaps we should be standing on the plates in the opposite order, since a snake would be slithering from outside towards the door, pressing the farthest plate first then this one, then the one closest."

OOC: Action: Cast Guidance as he steps onto the next nearest plate to the door.

Magdalena places one foot gently on the pressure plate closest to the door, and as the weight sinks the area slightly, a faint *click* can be heard... but nothing obvious happens.

Gorir then stands on the second plate, and like before when James triggered it, a *click* resounds and a sputtering of liquid falls from the ceiling and onto the torches. It hisses upon contacting the flames of the burning torches, and the corridor starts to smell faintly of burned old socks.

Traubon, curious to see what the last plate does, moves back and places his full weight on the trigger that Magdalena spotted, just inside the corridor.

With a bang that drowns out the now familiar *click*, the door back to the throne room slams shut and the torches lining the wall flare up, igniting those that weren't lit. The marble door at the end, however, is still closed.

"Interesting," the dwarven scholar mutters, then shouts, "Is the other door now open?"

OOC: Please make a DC10 Constitution save for Gorir, with advantage, to avoid gaining the Poisoned condition. Magdalena, Gorir: Did you keep your weight on the plates, or did you take your feet off?

 

[TallIan]

OOC: Gorir CON save: 2D20.HIGH(1)+1D4+2 = [15, 18]+[4]+2 = 24 Gorir would have kept his weight on
