(Adventure) The Island of Varras'zul (Manzanita Judging) (Concluded)

Scun looked about again, but he found nothing that indicated the presence of life. This room was as stale and lifeless as a coffin.

"Humm... Smells like death in here... We're not gettin' anywhere without openin' one o' these cages. If nobody 'as any objections, Ah'll do the honors, eh? Ha harr!" If he hears no objections, Rasereit strides boldly to the largest unopened cage, both axes drawn, and chops at the lock, opening it with brute force.
 


"Yes, imprisoned beasts surely was in possession of this tome we're looking for", Ogrin responds with sarcasm as he notices Rasereits eagerness for breaking things. "Let's disturb their remains so that whatever devoured them comes out to smite us. If nothing else, you'll bring out the rest of the centipedes."

Then again, he thinks to himself, I knows some wizards that could pay handsomely for the right pieces of a fiend...

Ogrin will stay a few steps away from Rasereit, keeping an eye on the pool. He sheathes his rapier and readies his sling, still keeping his dagger in hand.
 

Nezrak watches Rasereit go rampaging, but doesn't take part in the break-in. "Well, if we don't find anything in the cages, which is quite possible, I think the trapped door is next. My guess is that it's some kind of explosive magical trap at the door. The problem is, can anybody disarm it?", he says while keeping an eye on the pool.
 


"I may have some expertise in that regard though it would tax my abilities to their fullest. I could use some help, in particular with tools. My set was confi... I mean, lost, last week."

OOC: Take 20, any aid from Rillian would be much appreciated...
 

Nezrak shrugs. "We could always just toss a rock at the door and see what happens. With luck, that might solve our problem. And possibly wake up every creature neaby.", he says.

OOC: I don't think you can take 20 with Disable Device. That's the problem with traps...
 

oog: Thanks, Brain. How did you know that it was by b-day?

No gifts necessary. Here's a gift from me to all of you :)

oog2: Xael's right. You can't take 20 with Disable Device bec. there is a penalty for failure (if you roll 5 below the DC, you set off the trap)


After a noisy barrage of axe blows that seemed to echo throughout the ruin, Rasereit managed to break open the door to the biggest of the closed cages.

Within was a mess of bones that seemed to belong to a great, horned, humanoid creature. The length of its arm bones was disproportional to its figure, as its sword-like fangs were disproportionate to its skull.

"DEATH!" A chill swept through the the ranks of the party as the bones came together in the blink of an eye. The bonus formed a Large ape-like creature.

"DEATH!" Came the dire whisper-cry from beyond the depths of the underworld. Two points of crimson light shone in its eye sockets, glinting in malevolent and unreasoning hatred.

"DEATH!" It stood before the dwarf and the half-orc, eyeing them in the mindless hate that only the restless dead possess.

Code:
Round 1:

23  Caged Remnant
21  Scun  [19/19, 1 dex damage]
20  Ogrin [14/17]
19  Rasereit  [24/27]
14  Nezrak [3/9, 3 dex damage]
12  Mona 
07  Rillian [13/13]

The skeletal monstrosity rushed Rasereit, pushing him back toward one of the other cages. It was free now to indulge in the ruthless destruction that its hatred bid it to.

(C.R.: 23 vs. Razh: 22)
