A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [02]

Keeland

"I think it may be more about leverage than muscle. Maybe like this?"

Keeland tries to benefit from watching those who've gone before and braces himself carefully before giving a heave. "I think if someone could push just to the left there..."

OOC: Str. check (1d20+1=16) Hmmm, if he can benefit from the engineering check and maybe one aid another he'd hit 20...

OOC: I'm not sure if Houwlou can help again, since he's already tried once and failed. If he can, though, he'll lend his strength to the communal effort.

Harnrey interups and makes a few suggestions, " hey, if we use this for extra leverage right here and here, then push this way, . . . just like that . . . "

1d20+9=24

aid another (again)
 

Keeland examines the trapdoor carefully, and puts his slender elven shoulders to the task. Carefully considering Harnry's words, Tsadok and Houwlou take the rope rigged earlier and begin pulling. Finally, the stone door comes unstuck and slowly rises from the opening it guards.

Revealed is a 10'x10' shaft descending some 30' into the ground. The sides of the shaft are adorned with bas-relief sculptures of the gods . . . should be a fairly easy climb to the bottom.

"Whew," says Houwlou, "I'm glad that's over!"

Keeland

Keeland finds it difficult to keep the grin off his face as he brushes his hands together to shake off a little dust and takes up his bow once more. "I'll cover whoever wants to go first."
 

Tsadok

As Keeland prys open the hatch, Tsadok can't help but laugh. As Keeland looks at him, Tsadok's laugh quickly erupts into a full blown belly laugh.

"I guess since you were gracious enough to figure out how to open the dang thing, least I can do is take a peek.". Tsadok will poke his head down to see if a ladder is atttached to use in order to climb down.

Houwlou is right on Tsadok's heels as he proceeds.

No ladders, just the bas-relief work. The climb down should be easy. Surely you guys have used up all of your bad rolls for the day. But maybe you should Take 10 just in case . . .
 

Tsadok

After having a look, the young man decides the climb down should be a piece of cake and begins his descent.
