Forked Thread: Scotley's Tomb of Horrors 3.5 Continued

[Arkhandus]

Grackle "Grubeater" Granitetop, gnome sorcerer 9

Grackle doesn't even notice much of the earlier talking, just daydreaming and making funny faces at the corridor of mist. Finally, as the others go to find a resting spot, Grackle follows along and sets up his bedroll near them, placing the weasel on watch before he goes to sleep. The weasel prowls around in circles and chitters a bit, waving his forelegs around and bobbing his head, making a big fuss over something, until finally settling down and letting Grackle fall asleep.

When he finally wakes up, Grackle yawns and mutters "Rock not so soft, Admiral. Rock good, but not good for Grackle's sleep." The weasel snaps some remark back at him, with a sharp gesture of one forepaw, and Grackle groans. He packs up his gear again and does some stretches, before looking to the others for directions on what to do next. As the others start talking again, the gnome mutters "Grackle no good at opening stuff 'less it opens when it goes BOOM. Grackle's still learning sud-dul-tee. Or somefin'," while looking downcast.

 

[Scotley]

After a night on the cold and no quite dwarven-hard stones you awaken rested and refreshed. Nothing troubled your sleep in the lifeless tomb. The same barriers confront you by morning--a door that will not open without magical effort and a cloud that renders some of you senseless with fear.

OOC: Does the night pass uneventfully, Dear DM?

OOC: Um, yes.

 

[Scotley]

Fin, I can attempt to dispel the magic but my success will depend on how powerful the original caster was. It may be beyond my current capabilities. In any case, I will certainly put forth my best effort.

OOC: A similar treatment should allow you to pass the gas without incident as well...

"Grackle no good at opening stuff 'less it opens when it goes BOOM. Grackle's still learning sud-dul-tee. Or somefin'," while looking downcast.

"thats ok grackle, I only know the force of phiscal strength, myself. what is sud-dul-tea? something you drink? and what is the wease chitterin about so much? I saw him fussing about something last night too."

Harrison sits next to grackle to 5talk with him and watch the small mammel.

OOC: A similar treatment should allow you to pass the gas without incident as well...

OOC: just no open flames please.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Sorry, upon re-reading the posts, I realize that Greybeard's post calls for an action.

Concentrating hard, Zorn works his magic and beads of sweat pop out on his forehead. Just when he sighs in frustration and it appears that he has failed the door pops open a few inches with an audible snap and a shower of dust motes.

Beyond a 10' wide hallway extends 30' and appears to turn to the right.

"Good work, Zorn! Oh, no! Now we have more tomb to deal with."

[sblock=Scotley]Ooops, never did finish Logan's spells. I'll try to remember to get to it soon?[/sblock]

 

[Guest 11456]

Jillian Tealeaf, Rogue9, AC25,FF19,T17, HP37/37, F+4,R+13,W+5

Seeing the door click open, Jillian goes about her work of carefully checking for traps as she slowly moves forward down the hallway. First she checks the door frame and then she checks the hallway taking her time.

OOC:

Fin will join Jillian in her search, after patting Zorn on the shoulder and giving a nod of recognition.
