A Grave Matter for the Party of Seven Strangers

[GruTheWanderer]

Valjean retrieves 100 feet of silk rope from his haversack and hands it to Alistaire, who carries it over to the well. He anchors it around his waist and lowers the other end into the well.

With Jordeh there as backup, Valjean takes a hammer and piton and spikes open the mausoleum door (if possible). Then he moves forward to the crypt, again taking his time and looking for traps.

Kyr'nan puts herself near the Mauseleum. Her holy symbol in hand (ready to turn) she checks on the watches both the Maus. and the people at the well. As this is happening she does that which she is used to and melds into the background (Hide +20) and observes. Lazz'rut is close by with his bow drawn and he does the same.

The issue of Lorelin's pack now being solved, everyone wonders over to the large mausoleum to watch Valjean proceed with his work.

Valjean vigorously hammers the spikes into the bottom under the door. He seems to have it lodged in pretty solidly. Stepping back to admire his handiwork, the door swings shut, dislodging the pitons.

A sarcastic smile creeps to Lorelin's face.
"Excellent work, my friend."

Melvos wonders if Divine Power can be used to open the doors, like in a book he once read. *cough Defenders of the Faith * cough*

"Well....at least we aren't trapped inside it. If no one else can think of any way in, Bruk and I can open it the old fashioned way. If you'd like."

"Bruk like smash."

"Excallent. The old fasioned way is the fun way. I'll cover you, incase anything is behind those doors." Zig raises his bow to point at the mausoleum entrance.

Ready an action to fire an arrow off at any hostile monsters in the mausoleum when the door opens (+18, 1d8+6).

"There wasn't much down the well, by the way. Just a bunch of normal cave things: you know, stalagmites and stalagtites. Some stairs, though, man made by their looks, might be worth investigating later."

Mel :

Before joining the others by the doorway, Melvos would have Shield Charged the gravestone with his name on it so it covers the open grave. He spits with detest at the mere suggestion that he'd be lying down on the job while there's so many people to help in the world.

Joining the others, he says "I think I saw Valjean just push the doors open before - the doors are probably too strong to be held open by pitons, but I'm sure some of the stronger guys (not me) could open it.

But I may be wrong about all that."

 

[GruTheWanderer]

"Melvos is correct. I did open the door before, I just wanted it to stay open before going to check the crypt inside. Now that the rest of you are here, I suppose someone else can hold the door open while I inspect it for traps."

Once Valjean is satisfied that no traps exist, he will ask Jordeh to help him open the crypt.
