[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6686626, member: 11146"] Fulgrim walked the 5'-wide perimeter of the sarcophagus in clockwise fashion. The dwarf mage followed the seam with his eyes up the west side and then the north side of the sarcophagus. An oddity in the northeastern corner of the room caught his attention. He bent to give the corner of the sarcophagus closer inspection, and found a pivot point. From the look of it, the seam paused at the pivot point of the northeastern corner of the sarcophagus, then picked back up again to run the rest of the perimeter around the tomb. The moment Fulgrim lifted his foot to take another step, however, a pressure plate in the floor gave way that he hadn't noticed. Two things happened in tandem. The sarcophagus pivoted clockwise, revealing an opening on its west side (and simultaneously sealing off the northwestern edge of the room's perimeter). Spec, who had remained in the open doorway, noted a set of uneven stone steps descending into darkness. Unfortunately, the second thing to happen was that the floor beneath Fulgrim gave way, sending the dwarf falling 15' into a pool of water in the dark. The pool of water did not have a bottom that Fulgrim immediately detected. His eyesight didn't fail him, however, and he discerned that the pit he's fallen into is a natural cavern with irregular rock walls. The cavern stretched to the east and to the north. Fulgrim could make out a far wall about 20' to the northeast. The wall to the immediate west, however, is smooth and has been fashioned by a stonemason. [ooc]Make an Athletics check to swim, at disadvantage because Fulgrim is wearing scale mail. The suffocating rules in 5e are on pp 183. Fulgrim can hold his breath for 4 minutes. After that, he has 3 rounds before he drops to 0 hit points and is dying. I think (some of the phrasing seems to conflict, and where it does I wish to err on the side of generosity since this is a potentially lethal trap). Read it and let me know in the OOC.[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
