BrOp's Age of Worms Adventure Path: The Whispering Cairn (IC)

Mulch - Cleric

Responding to Fixit, as they examine the elevator, Mulch says, "We might be able to examine the remains of that last compartment in the debris below the hole. I just wish there were a more stable way to get down there, like a good old fashioned staircase."

 

[Ranger Rick]

Allow me to make you an expediant rope ladder. Sniffer ties the rope so that it containes large knot bundles. He than anchors the rope and is set to assit the other two. If he has enough rope, he has a second parallel rope.

OOC: Use rope/climb +6

"Seems like the lights were turned off here. I wonder if that has something to do with this... elevator thing not appearing?"
Meldain shudders at the sight of the crushed bones. He might have looked a lot like that yesterday.
"Is it my imagination, or is the ceiling higher in this corridor? I don't like the... Hey! Did you touch that sarcophagus again?!"
At the first sound of the rumbling, Meldain dashes out of the corridor. Once it is clear that the sky doesn't fall, he says "I told you not to touch that thing! Who knows what other traps it holds!... There are bones in the blue corridor. Zan said the guy might have dropped from a great height. Besides, we do have a path into those lower caves - why not use it?"

 

[Bront]

Zan exacmines the blue lantern to see if he can figure out how to relight it.

Kerwin stands a little confused at the random nature his companions are approaching the room's puzzle. With some dealing with the hole beneath the green lantern and some dealing with the blue lantern, while others push the sarcophagus, Kerwin decides to put his effort where he believes it might help best and moves to the hole.

"Sniffer, need a hand?" he offers.

To Meldain: "Aren't you even the least bit curious how this thing works? I can't imagine how such a device was built and has remained a secret for so long. I wonder if they have mechanics like this in Sharn."

He continues with his investigation, amused by Fixit's cautiousness, but willing to allow him to take the lead. But if nothing else happens to distract him or warn him off, he will definitely step inside the compartment and thoroughly check it out.

 

[Knight Otu]

"Of course I'm curious! But I also value my life, and I wouldn't want to be crushed beneath a lot of rocks. Wait... that one corridor was apparently higher than the other one... I wonder..."
Meldain rushes outside, to the wolf den, and looks at the picture again, to see if that is somehow reflected in the painting.

"Why yes Kerwin I could use one, but I prefer two. Let me show you how to make a proper climbing knot."

 

[Branding Opportunity]

To Sniffer, he says, "Let's examine this contraption first." Mulch will thoroughly examine the elevator, first from the outside, and if he determines it's safe, then from the inside. He will look for any signs of a secret compartment, plus try to figure out what mechanics make it work. He will also search through the bones and old clothes piled on the floor, to see if he can make out who was here before, and what happened to them.

Mulch quickly glances at the bones in the cylindrical compartment, noticing that they seem to have been crushed and broken, as if a great, blunt weight had damaged them. (OOC: Heal check)

OOC: Use rope/climb +6

OOC: This is fairly easily done and creates a rope that requires on a DC 5 climb check. However, you need twice the length of rope you normally would (e.g. a 50 ft. rope creates a 25 ft. rope ladder). The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
