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

[Erekose13]

Kerwin moves to the 'elevator' with Rial. Upon spotting the crushed bones in the bottom he says, "Uh those look a little ominous. Perhaps we ought to see what happens when this one descends before hopping on." If it looks like it will begin moving he tries to grab Rial and yank him out.

 

[Bront]

"Perhaps the warforged should go down first, incase the elevator drops them underwater. But we should make sure we can bring them back up." Zan suggests.

 

[Someone]

"I can walk" says Rial when Kerwin pulls him. "I figured it myself. Maybe this isn´t a way to go down, but a trap. Let´s put something here and see what happens when it descends. If it isn´t crushed and is not wet, then it´s safe."

"Or maybe it has something to do with the lamps?

Rial first light his remaining torch and places it inside the lamp [I think there´s a lamp over this one, correct me if I´m wrong], then rummages in the pile of bones and trash, looking for something that could be of use for the test.

OOC: Yes, there is a lamp here. This is the lamp you found in the wolves' den.

Fixit Warforged Artificer

Fixit carefully examines the lift

[sblock] using both his Knowledge (Arch and Engineering) and Bardic Knowledge. Here's the previous examine. This is what we found last time

After carefully sifting through the debris in the cylinder (OOC: Search check), Fixit comes to the same conclusion as Mulch, that the person died from massive blunt trauma. Among the modly clothes and bones he finds a small pouch containing 35 gp, 15 sp, and a small, red ruby. Studying the cylinder for a few minutes you realize that it is beyond your knowledge. You don't understand (magically) how it might work.

OOC: Um, yeah, so since I was wrong and we've already done this (sorry!) let's say the same thing happens again.

Fixit Warforged Artificer

Fixit dips his hand into the debris at the bottom of the device and pulls forth an old leather bag. Spilling it's contents onto the floor of the cavern reveals 35 gp, 15 sp, and a small, red ruby. "I don't know how this thing works" Fixit advises the group "but whoever was in there died of blunt foce trauma"

 

[Ranger Rick]

"Does that mean he died from a comrade or an enemy and not this infernal device?"

"Does that mean he died from a comrade or an enemy and not this infernal device?"

OOC: Looking at the stress patterns of the skeleton, it looks as if the damage was caused all at once, all over his/her body. An example of this is when someone falls from a great height or is crushed by something large and very heavy.

 

[Ranger Rick]

"Oh drats, I was hoping he was killed by a comrade so this infernal machine could be dubbed safe."
