Message: <blockquote data-quote="TaranTheWanderer" data-source="post: 9735579" data-attributes="member: 15882">Benny takes a sad moment, thinking of his lost friend and gloomily goes to the statue to look at the mechanism.  He hears a chipper voice in his head,Wait for me!Looking behind him, Benny sees Max flying down from the rafters.That was a close one!They proceed to the statue and, after Benny's prompting,  Max indicates that it must be some kind of mechanical thing because he doesn't know any magic items that look like this.  Maybe if he saw it in action, he'd know more.Anson looks at the mechanism.  The key is not so much a 'key' as it is a lever meant to be turned.  The mechanism within disappears into the stone statue.***Deidre looks at the necklace.  It's a holy symbol of the god Mask1 who is an intermediate god of shadows and thievery.  While Mask's mandate isn't specifically violent, the lifestyle of many followers tend to lean towards banditry, thievery and cat burglary.  Sadly, luck isn't in the portfolio of Mask - that one belongs to Brandobaris and Fharlanghn - and this follower seemed to have some bad luck.You look up at the hole above.  The stone work seems worn.  The dwarf would know more.[SPOILER="OOC"][USER=23484]@Kobold Stew[/USER]  Give me an INT (Investigation).  Anyone (max or Benny) can help you.2. It turns out Mask isn't a greyhawk god.  Oh, well, too bad.  He exists here now.  His story will be slightly different since he's in an entirely different pantheon now.[USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER] & [USER=28334]@Lidgar[/USER] The rope wasn't cleanly cut but got sheared off after rubbing against something too many times.  Like, if the rope was swinging back and forth against a rough surface.  Caer got that from his investigation check.[USER=15132]@Steve Gorak[/USER] Maybe Max just takes the incense as an offering, after the fact.  Don't be surprised it Benny finds his pockets a bit lighter.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
