CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

Zirat

Zirat picks the sunrod from the floor and circles the room for hidden foes or doors while the others try to lift the portcullis

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Ciaran racks his brains from earlier. Did we see a lever previously in another room?

 

[Dog Moon]

Now that there's time, Deren will inspect the portcullis mechanism and attempt to determine how it opens/closes.

OOC: Huh, +4 Search check. I need to focus my skill points a little better next level. Sorry about the delay. Been out for the last week with the Flu. Definitely glad THAT'S over. Also, Disable Device +5 which could be useful.

 

[Voadam]

With a wrench Sir Merrick pulls the large blade of his glaive out of the body of the last ghoul. "Well done Prophet."

He looks up and glances around with his angel-blessed eyes for a winch to raise the portcullis.

A scratch across his cheek bleeds but the knight seems not to notice as he answers Shoon. "We are fine."

He takes stock of the room and its contents.

"Foul dead." with a flick of his wrist the glaive shakes off the gore of the undead abomination he has slain.

 

[Rhun]

It doesn't take long for Merrick and Zirat to find the winch designed to raise the portcullis, located in the southern chamber of the ghouls complex. They quickly raise the iron gate and jam it in place; meanwhile, Deren determines that it is a concealed presssure plate just inside the main entrance that had triggered the trap.

All of the chambers that make up this portion of the dungeons reek of death and carrion. All are filthy, littered with gnawed and cracked bones, heaps of dirty, rotten cloth, and broken and splintered furniture. There is nothing of value to be found.

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Well, are we done here then? We still have not found a prisoner to interrogate and we may have lost the element of surprise now. Let us hurry." Shoon starts to walk down the western hallway.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

"Element of surprise? We never had it."

 

[Voadam]

"Six undead vanquished. A good start." Sir Merrick picks up his glaive and returns to the front of the party, avoiding the pressure plate as he goes. He heads into the unexplored hallway to the west.

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Element of surprise? We never had it."

Shoon raises an eyebrow at Ciaran and his bold, yet completely unsupported remark. "Do you have any evidence of that at all? Because I am fairly sure that when someone does not know you are there, they are surprised to find out that you are."

 

[Dichotomy]

"It doesn't very well matter now. The path is before us, and Pelor will guide us," Aeron notes as he quickly follows Sir Merrick.
