Legacy of Death Part I: Most Infamous Danger

[ecayford]

Forge will examine the door for traps and listen to determine if he recognizes the sounds coming from beyond the door. Also, to see if he can hear anything else.

 

[Flaming Bob]

Lucien pulls a small set of picks and, after checking for traps, quietly begins working on the locks (unless of course, they're already open).

Caution

I will plug up my ears while Lucien fiddles with the locks. I recommend you all do the same. Nar-Heru and I perhaps need not take the precaution, but I suspect the rest of you do.

 

[TerraDave]

Lucian: As you stand next to the door, you can also hear music and singing. You do an expert evaluation of the door. The locks are rusted shut, and maybe also a non-natural barrier sealing it. BUT, its still a big wood door, and hence there may be other ways to open it.

 

[Flaming Bob]

The Rogue whispers back to his colleagues "No good. We can 'knock', or we can blast through the wood, but it won't open my way. They look like they haven't worked in years" As he motions to the locks. "Whatever's in there singing probably hasn't come out in quite some time. I imagine she'll be right ticked off at us for barging in."

Note the last sentence was dripping with sarcasm.

I say we get way back, let Nar-Heru burn it from a distance, and ambush whatever comes out. Whatever we do, for the love of Varun, cover your ears first!

OOC: The knock ritual say I need to make an Arcana check (+5) for each lock or closure, so I guess I'm looking at at least 6 for the locks. I'll roll a 7th in case there is an arcane lock as well. Everyone can assist me, providing a +2 with an Arcana of 10 or better. This is 1st ritual today, so it's 30gp less in components, correct? It also cost me a healing surge.

"Give me a few moments, and I'll have the door unlocked in no time. I can use everyone's assistance as well. Perhaps Buckthorn should stand guard while we concentrate. If unlocking it isn't enough we can move onto the Fire!" With the word "fire", a somewhat demented look comes over Nar-Heru's face and the magical flame providing light on the end of staff flares up slightly. He then prepares the components for the knock ritual.

 

[kaltfeuer]

Er, Uh

1. I was just talking about a Scorching Burst or 2 or 3. I didn't mean you needed a ritual... unless you're itching to use it.

2. +18 and you think you need an assist? Dang!

3. Check the house rules. You don't need components for every ritual. Look up ritual points.

 

[dyermaker001]

1. I thought it would be better (and quieter) to avoid busting down the door if we don't have to.
2. Who knows how hard it will be?
3. House rules I have specify 30gp less on the first ritual each day. Maybe I'm missing something.

 

[TerraDave]

Nar-Heru, on your first check, you understand what the rogue was saying...the door cannot be unlocked. (again!)
