JA's - The Prince's Own

Once the pair have made their assessment, Yevas decides that he has to risk it. "Alright, I know a thing or two about traps, so move back and let me have a look." he says. "A bit further" he continues, waving them away "just in case something goes wrong."

Kneeling beside the item he gives it and the chains a thorough check, without touching it if possible. He pays particular attention to anything that may trigger if the object is lifted and how the chain is fastened to the stage.

Yevas
[sblock]upon examining the object you do indeed find that the chains are somehow set with a trap from the way the are laid out and the clasps are set. As they are really to small for anything lethal you surmise that most likely it is some sort of magical trap[/sblock]
 

Having examined the chain, Yevas mutters a curse and backs off. "There's some kind of trap on the chain clasps. probably magical. Bear with me a bit longer."

After checking to make sure that there is no way to disable the trap from above, Yevas goes under the stage and checks the clasps from the bottom. If necessary, and having checked its safe, he will move some of the boards near the device to let enough light in.
 

"Thank you Declan, I'm Henry, I should not give up so easily." Henry continues to look over the magical emanations and gain further insight. "Yes, there must be more here." Henry remains close and tries to help Yevas, but he has nothing useful to add except the thought that, "Maybe the trap is triggered if you try to remove this item?"

OOC: So +4 total to spell craft? +2 for aid another and +2 for the spell? That's what I'm taking on the roll and will modify as needed later if I'm wrong.

A disembodied voice from under the stage says "That's my though as well. I'm just trying to figure out if there is any way of removing it safely before we are reduced to doing it the hard way."

OOC: That's what it should be for Declan's contribution. +2 to saves too, if you need it this round...
 

Kyra

“Well...” Kyra says, walking up and down on the stage. “Let's consider the possibilities. How likely is it that this is actually happening here?” She points at a few of the bodies littering the area with her rapier. Here, there, over there. “That noone heard any screams? That someone killed everyone here, but spared us for some reason? Ok, we all had our share of wine, but still. To be honest. It cannot be real. I don't think it is. It's some kind of test. And this here...” With that she points her rapier at the item everyone is focused on. “This here is the source of whatever magic is fooling us.”

She takes a few more steps in silence to let her words sink.

“I am not studied enough to understand it, but that is what I believe.”

Then her manners come back knocking and she realizes, that she had not introduced herself. She quickly curtseys in her negligee, saying: “Oh... I'm Kyra, by the way.”
 

Henry sketches a courtly bow. "Well met Kyra, I sincerely hope you are right. This is a truly terrible massacre and if it were only illusion I would be greatly relieved."
