Flintlock & Tomahawk: Endgame

[Rookseye]

"Perhaps by following one of these passages we can find a way to the surface. I am loathe to go any deeper, but we may have no other choice. Waiting here in full view of our 'good neighbors' above only chances that whatever devilish resolve they may possess will return. I for one do not wish to be here when it does."

Glancing about, the flickering light of the lantern painting obscene shadows on the wall from the flailing arms above, Sykes looks down the passages each in turn and tries to guess at where the faint breeze is originating from. Wilderness Lore check = 11

Speid looks at Sykes, But don' ya see? Whatever destroyed my village and family may ha come from down here. Ah dinna see Cale above - maybe the walkin' dead are only guards. He may be further down the tunnel. If ya came here to stop this, this may be our only chance!

 

[Rookseye]

"Mr. Speid, we have come to rescue Mr. Abcott's daughter from this madman, and by my oath to God in Heaven, if she yet lives, we will return her to her father. I have watched too many men of worth perish in this endeavor already to give up now. If you have any inkling of where Cale is, then take us to him."

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Sykes: You have no idea which direction the breeze is coming from.

 

[Rookseye]

Sykes turns about in a small circle, watching where the faint light of his lantern falls before turning to the others.

"The path to the north, then?"

 

[WargamerX]

Aye. As good as any. Let the Good Lord guide us.

[ooc: if he can, Speid will reload his (3) flintlock psitols. If not, well, looks like he loves that claymore...]

 

[Old Fezziwig]

[sblock]WargamerX: Sure, you can reload your pistols -- was there a reason you shouldn't be able to?[/sblock]Taking the passage that winds back to the northwest, you eventually find it leading to a small, semi-circular room, some thirty-odd feet in diameter with an exit in the middle of the right side of its walls.[sblock]If you entered at about half past four, the other exit's just before three o'clock.[/sblock]A shaft of light pours into the room, illuminating its center and exposing a deep, circular pit in the center of the floor. A rope and chain hang down from the hole in the ceiling and down into the pit.[sblock]Just in case this isn't clear, think of the room like a donut with openings at 3 and 4:30 PM. Also, make Listen and Spot checks. [/sblock]

[sblock]1d20+1=6, 1d20+1=10[/sblock]

 

[WargamerX]

Speid carefully eyes the chain leading to the pit and glances towards the 3 o'clock passage.

[sblock]Listen Listen (1d20+4=22)

Spot Spot (1d20=6) [/sblock]

 

[Rookseye]

Sykes stays well within the passageway, holds the lantern aloft, and looks about the cavern beyond, paying particular attention to the strange chain apparatus.

[sblock]Spot = 29 Listen = 22 [/sblock]
