Legacy of Death Part II: Graves of Lesser Immortals

[TerraDave]

Walls are mostly 11 or so feet high. However, on the northern stretch, it rises to about 20 feet, and and as you examine it, looks like angling building roof. The walls also get higher to about 20 feet for the structure you have been circling.

At the dead end, the wall is about 11 feet high and made, like all these, from the rough cairn stones.

From the path you took, (after you go through the vertigo dungeon rooms, ie off the map I posted a few pages back) there are no doors or openings or conspicuous cracks or cuts or anything like that on either side. (in any case, those rolls indicate that Ghen is not really paying attention).

 

[ecayford]

Forge will sling his weapon and sheild and try to climb up the walls (11 foot rough stone ones) in order to get on top of the building closest to see if he can get a better look around.

 

[TerraDave]

Forge barely makes it up the wall (maybe another character gives him a push). I will assume he climbs at the dead end.

He is on about a 7 foot wide stretch of wall/building that connects the 1) irregular north building that runs east to west and then turns south, and 2) the more central irregular building whose roof rises to 20 feet not to far from you. Looking to the east, (and taking into account that Forge is pretty perceptive) Forge can see the river about 50 feet away, and the previously explored buildings on the other side, and is a similar distance from the clearing were this circular journey started.

(Hint: take a look at the map I originally posted after the last session, now a few pages back..., forge would be towards the top of "wall")

 

[ecayford]

Can we climb over or along the wall to get to a building we haven't been to? Like the circular central building?

 

[TerraDave]

Climbing over and to the east of were Forge is now should bring him back to the path that leads along the river and in turn leads to the opening in the northern structure (again, previous map). Forge can just see the path leading into this structure, and probably remembers going into it the day before, with the first stop being the tapestry room, which in fact should be pretty close to where he is now. He can also see a part of the building with curved walls just next to that...

Going south from were he is standing should lead to the central structure, or at least the top of it. The wall goes up another 10 or so feet, so more climbing would be involved.

 

[ecayford]

Forge will lower some rope if anyone cares to join. Assuming the central structure is somewhere we haven't been before, Forge will continue his climbing expidition. Don't have a totally clear idea of what he's seeing but the point is he's trying to get to a building we haven't been to without totally getting separated from the party. He'll tie a rope around his waist and let the other end hang for the rest of the party to use when he gets where he's going.

 

[TerraDave]

Forge: you see a lot of funny shaped, interconnected, structures made out of gray stones.

You climb up 10 more feet, with the rope tied to you. Someone on the ground could climb the now 20 feet to get where you are.

Again, you can clearly see the northern building with the path leading into it and the 7 foot wide bit on which you were just standing that connects it to the central part.

This central part is pretty large. 70 or so feet north south (your are still towards the north) and 120 or so feet east west (you are towards the east). It seems to connect to another part farther south that you walked around earlier.

As you climb along the roof, there is a large, central, flattish, dome. With holes in it! This is the first real break from the pattern. Peaking through the holes, you see some kind of vegetation below, but also various walls dividing this area. You think you could climb over the top of the dome, but the other side seems to be yet more grey cairn stones. Beyond that, the building ends, and you would be back to where you were walking earlier.

 

[ecayford]

Forge will walk around the central building and see if he can detect any entrances from the top or sides of the building.

 

[TerraDave]

Dwarven Persistance

You continue not to find any outside entrances to the central structure.

You have now circled it, and went on top of it.

 

[ecayford]

Any other structures/entrances that Forge can see from his new perch that we have not explored yet? (A map would help!! )
