Legacy of Death Part VI: Like a Snake Eating its Own Tail...and it is Dead

[Jin Abackis]

Assuming that Forge will try again, Simorai will assist (Athletics – 15). Forge put your back into it this time and use both hands.

 

[TerraDave]

both by the house rules (which I need to update a bit, but anyways) and by the current RAW, thats a fail for the Genesi.

I won't penalize Forge's next attempt, but Sim, as he flails about on the portuculis, looses 1 surge.

EDIT:

I did go ahead and edit the house rules, to bring them closer to how we are playing.

Realizing that there is nothing further he can do here, Simorai gets off the bars and moves back out of the way with Nar.

Giving it everything he has (37 athletics check!), Forge tries again to lift the portcullas.

 

[Buckthorn]

Buckthorn will attempt to assist Forge. (Athletics) Buckthorn will also burn two surges during the short rest (regaining 58 hp, not including the warlord's bonus).

Edit, hopefully Forge raised the portcullis before Buckthorn tried to help. Buckthorn fumbles.

 

[ecayford]

plus 15 and plus 12 for the two surges buckthorns spends because warlord uses his healing powers.

 

[TerraDave]

Forge heaves open the gate!


.....and Buckthorn looses a healing surge.

(and we will take a break for the rest of the week, enjoy fireworks, or something)

 

[TerraDave]

....On the other side of the barrier are a landing and a flight of black granite stairs leading down into dead silence.

 

[ecayford]

Welcome back all. Hope everyone had a good break! Anyway, forge will check for hidden dangers. perception 20.

 

[TerraDave]

Forge takes the lead, heading down the 40 feet or so of stairs...
