Pathfinder 2E [IC] JM's "Doomsday Dawn" Playtest Party#1 Chapter#1

[jmucchiello]

There does not seem to be anything interesting about this door, at first. But after a moment you hear several slight sounds of metal softly ringing, like a wind chime. But it is accompanied by a soft tap against the door, like there's metal occasionally brushing against the other side of the door.

(To speed things up and because of a good listen check) You open the door very slowly and can see strings holding something against the other side of the door that rattle ever so gently as you close the door again. You are fairly certain you could open the door all the way without making a lot of noise. It might take 10-15 seconds to do it, but that is probably better than making a racket.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Hiromi told the others to hush and slowly opened the door.

 

[jmucchiello]

Hiromi opens the door slowly and silently. A short hallway is revealed which end 15 feet away. To the north is a natural stairway. To the south is a normal hallway. (Yeah, that's more map than we need but I don't want to have to keep cutting up the map.)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Hiromi slipped into the hall and crept to the bottom of the stairs.

OOC: Any light in here? She will peek/listen up the stairs.

 

[Radaceus]

Elkran motions a zip of his lips, then giggles softly, then pretends it wasn't him.

 

[Kaodi]

"I get goblins running for their lives, but a demon?" says Urik, annoyed. Who knows what trouble that thing would get into elsewhere.

 

[jmucchiello]

The hallway is completely dark. A faint light glowing in the unseen room beyond allows Hiromi to look down the stairs and see that the narrow stairs seem to wind downward to an open natural chamber. Listening carefully, she hears the sounds of several goblins arguing. But she isn't sure how many there are. The staircase makes it hard to determine how far away they might be, too.

(GM: What is everyone else doing?)

 

[Kaodi]

With a sigh Urik gets ready to push on ahead. More goblins, more problems.

 

[Radaceus]

"Sneaky time" Suggests Elkran, as he recasts his lights either side of the doorway in the room with the pool, so as not to shine to much light into the hallway.

OOC: 1>Somatic 2>Verbal 3> stride to corner (D13)

 

[jmucchiello]

GM: Let's move this along. How do you want to go down the stairs? Here's one way you might be setup to go down there. You can attempt to stealth down the stairs in which case stealth will become your initiative if combat occurs.
