A Grave Matter for the Party of Seven Strangers

Sorry Golden, didn't see that.

Ok, back on track.

You proceed down the branch to the left. It leads into a medium sized room. An archway leads from the far side of the room. Against the far side of the room sits a coffin.

I assume the room is dimly lit if lit at all. With that in mind Lazz and Kyr both draw their hoods and meld into the shadows silently. It is good to be back underground cautious of stepping in the wrong place, they move around the left wall towards the arch and the coffin ready for another skeleton or some other undead to spring forth.

OoC: as long as I can blast things, I don't really mind where we are going

Valjean will search the room for traps, then approach and open the coffin and open it (still counting on his saves and protection from evil). He says alound, "Now why did I not think of wooden stakes?"

"This entire place reeks of such Evil it's hard to sort it out.

But that coffin looks like a place they'd like to hang out."

OOC: Shield is still up, ready to rock if we decide to open up the coffin. Melvos would ready an attack to pound anything evil coming out of it back into it aftre it took a 5' step out. And I have been wanting to hang back and let others decide direction and such. (which is why I had him Detect Evil and let others decide) While Melvos has all the Charisma you'd need to lead, he isn't exactly a leader in a peer group. I also didn't want to push the action to much personally, wanting other people to put their "stamp" on this game. If you want me to be more active, I can be to help push the action along, which I wholeheatedly endorse.

How about somebody is designated to be 'leader', and chooses directions and such to keep things moving? This will likely expedite things since I will be looking for that post.

I'll volunteer to keep things moving although I think anyone could do it and that would be cool; but it would be nice to pick up the pace. It also might be helpful to know for instance that Valjean will check for traps regularly, etc. What do you say big V?

I'm happy to go with assumptions about checking traps, Melvos detecting evil, and so on. Based on my brief experience DMing PbP, I think everyone needs to act like a leader (i.e. make decisions to move on), because everyone has times when they are busy.

In other words, I agree with GE. I'll do my best to help move things along.

"Wooden stakes now available." Zig takes out an arrow, and snaps off the head. He then uses his dagger to sculpt the end into a sharp point. "Anyone want one?"

 

[reapersaurus]

"All I need is this."
Melvos clangs his shield(s).

"I probably wouldn't be very good with any other weapon..."
