A Spiked Drink

[Songdragon]

The halfling bows her thanks to the elf, "Thank you, a few hands to help and I should be good climbing between yourself and Emet, if he is agreeable."

She climbs up to the height of the two companions and looks around for any more clues to where the "up" sign points.

((Climb 1d20+6=10 Perception 1d20+10=12))

As the light disappears up towards the ceiling of the sewer, Relic looks around himself quite confused.

"Stumble on my beard! I ... I think I can see in the dark!"

He rubs at his eyes vigorously and attempts to refocus his eyes as if willing the clarity of the interior of the dark tunnel to fade away. The images however don't vanish, however in the mix of light and shadow cast by Saranna's head stone Relic can't be sure of what he is seeing or what is going on with his eyesight.

He peers up into the gloom where the arrow points straining to see what the halfling might have found if anything at all.

OOC: Relic is yet to discover the benefits of his curse, so this is his first inkling here in this poorly lit sewer pipe

Once Saranna climbs onto the top of the massive Emet, and with Relic's improved sight, the two of them look over the ceiling at the top. Initial glances do not reveal any obvious cracks that either Relic or Saranna see.

GM: Do you want to spend time to take 20?

 

[jbear]

"I wonder if the arrow upwards is in fact an arrow straight ahead ... how about you keep looking up there Saranna and I'll look down around the bottom of the wall... surely there has to be something around here to give us a clue. If those thick lugs could find it, I'm sure we can find it as well..."

Relic searches the lower part of the wall marked with the arrow 'up' exhaustively.

OOC: Relic will take 20 to search the lower part of the wall just in case the arrow means go straight and not up. I'd say it's a safe bet to assume Saranna will want to do the same especially if the old git is refusing to budge, poking around at the wall.

 

[Songdragon]

"Nothing obvious... but there has to be something." the halflings takes her time to look over the area...

(( Take 20... Perception 30 ))

 

[jackslate45]

While Saranna starts going over every inch of the ceiling, she tries to look for something off. A rock that does not look quite right, a crack that seems too deep. After a good long while, she concludes that there is nothing on the ceiling.

Relic, while searching the walls, finds something odd. While on the left hand wall where Saranna first noticed the arrow pointing up, on the right hand wall of the east intersection there is an arrow pointing west.

GM: I will get a map up tomorrow to explain in better detail, if you need it.

 

[jbear]

OOC: I think a map/drawing would help. At the moment I'm thinking we need to turn left.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

OOC: Thanks, the last two weeks have been Interesting Times for me. I'm back and able to contribute again.

OOC: Thanks, the last two weeks have been Interesting Times for me. I'm back and able to contribute again.

GM: Welcome back. I know the feeling of it being crazy. I attached the (extremely simple) diagram.

 

[Systole]

"This is some sort o' code, is it?" Daylily asks. "Seems more than passing strange there's two arrows aimed in cross directions."

He examines the other corners for signs of arrows.
