[5e] "Into The Woods" Horror one-shot. [FULL][OOC]

Behind it, yes -- according to this map you gave, there's an access from the room at the top left, which is, I believe, the only unexplored area on this floor to which we have access.

OOC: I'm confused with all this back-and-forth about opening and closing both doors. Who's where?

Umbril and Terry are on the other side of the wall. Bimpnott and Albrecht are on the 'original' side by the griffon statue

I know. It's not easy for me, either. This is one part of the module I wasn't looking forward to, especially online, for that very reason. Neurotic is correct, though.

Friends,
Until this morning I have received no updates to the threads for this game since I posted on Oct 20. I don't know why, but it means I have been MIA while you are playing. I'm sorry.

First -- if I seem not to be about, please send a ping my way. I do check the site daily.

Second -- the immediate situation. I've not read the spoilers in the IC thread, and I don't understand what's fully happening, but Albrecht has a way to operate the trigger on the griffon and get everyone through, if he is prompted.

 

[mips42]

oh dear. Sorry about that.
Basically, the party discovered that the Griffon statue did, in fact open a secret / Concealed door revelaing a short passage. Umbril went through and found that, while the door on the side of the house that you've been exploring was open, the one at the far side of the passage was closed and vice-versa. Umbril went through the passage and had a brief encounter, then found the lever to operate the secret / concealed door from the other side.
That is where we are now. AFAIK Albrecht and Bimpnott are on the explored side, Terry and Umbril are on the other side manning the other lever.

 

[Kobold Stew]

So we can all get through as things are now?
Thanks for your understanding.

 

[Neurotic]

Yes, just needs someone smarter than Bimpnott and Umbril

 

[JustinCase]

Hey, Bimpnott is very smartz!

Thanks for explaining; I like that it doesn't require someone to stay behind. And yes, I admit, I added to the confusion myself by having Bimpnott use the lever several times in a row. Sorry about that.
