Dragonslayers: After the second dragon

[Mithran]

"It's true, we have plenty of brute muscle but you're going to have to tell us how to apply it." Hond says as he picks up one of the other implements.

 

[Ferrix]

Aphram examines the cave-in for a few moments hoping to pick out a good spot to begin.

OOC: Knowledge: Dungeoneering +4

 

[Krug]

Grim will do his best to help out. "Put wood up, make rock notfall" suggests the half-orc.

 

[Evilhalfling]

It looks like there is only room for one person to dig at a time, and the stronger the better.

You can either clear the whole tunnel or dig a crawlspace through the blockage.
your not sure which is safer.


OOC: Kn Dungoneering 11+4=15
Geyrrt could help, but it looks like he may have dropped out.

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Gerryt looks at the others and says, "Well, it seems to me that I am not that person. The strongest I mean. I suppose I could try blasting the rock out of the way, but I would probably cause a cave in. We don't want that, do we?"


ooc: still here...just wasn't aware I could be helpful. How? Disable Device?

 

[Evilhalfling]

ooc: yes, Disable Device can be use to stablize the ceiling or Search (trapfinding) to warn of the weaker spots.

 

[Ferrix]

Turning towards Gerryt, "if you could stabilize the weaker areas, Hond or Grim could do the primary digging," Aphram says.

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Gerryt squints at the task before them, looking a little closer.

"Actually...let me look at this. I think there are some parts that are likely to come down if we don't do something about them...let me take a little closer a look. I might have a few ideas about ways to shore them up."

OOC: Search +9, Disable Device +11

 

[Evilhalfling]

Geyrrt thinks that the the first section is secure enough for a full execavation. It is quickly dug away, as Hond puts his back into shoveling. He clears a 5x5 section in a round. The loose rubble is piled in the wheelbarrow and Aphram puts his tools aside to wheel it out to the main corridor, this forces everyone but Hond and Aphram to retreat to the wider corridor 80' ft back. It looks like the digging will go very fast, although with a bit of extra time you can clear the rubble left on the floor as well.

The narrow corridor is still clogged with rocks and earth. The second section looks unstable, with a few loose rocks sliding from the ceiling. Hond fetches Geyrrt again who thinks he can stabilize it, using the extra digging tools to support the ceiling. Does anyone have a way to help? Also how far back are you all standing when he tries it?

OOC: search 22, 24 This is where everyone is standing when Gerryt finishes his second search.

[SelcSilverhand]

Mero picks up a shovel and tries to help keep the passage clear in between wheelbarrow loads.

OOC:
Mero will clear rubble from the floor in between wheelbarrow trips. Once the tunnel is clear, and it looks safe, Mero will ask Squeak to fly a short distance into the tunnel to check the area with his blindsense and report back if anything living is in the immediate area around the tunnel.
