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

[TerraDave]

Time passes.

I think its safe up to 10 feet every 6 seconds.

Pick a skill and make a check to transition from one wall to the next.

If Buckthorn or Forge get over to the pedestals and examine them (with their high perception), they also seem to be things of stone that stick out. I assume thats all they do (and their players can certainly say what they do.)

 

[Buckthorn]

Buckthorn will move over to examine the pedestal on Wall 3. (Perception). Buckthorn will look in particular for anything like a switch or pressure plate. If he does, he will try to activate (or deactivate it) (Thievery).

OOC: Ah, there we go.. a 1. Figures the universe would want to try to balance out the two 20's... Hopefully, Buckthorn's low perception roll means he didn't find anything to actually fiddle with.

Nar tries to determine if the bizarre gravity is arcane and if he can disrupt it. He won't do so, until everyone is clear or if it appears some has found an exti that we need the bizarre gravity to reach. (37 arcana)

 

[TerraDave]

There appears to be no way to "turn off" the gravity effect.

Speaking of which, Buckthorn somehow destabilizes himself and flies up and then backdown, landing hard right back on the pedestal (and taking 17 damage).

 

[TerraDave]

just in case

Sim: 104 HP, 1 HS| all dailies, elixir of flying
Nar: 86 HP, 1 HS | various dailies
Buckthorn: 101 HP, 3 HS | bow power
Forge: 90 HP, 7 HS |
Dayereth: 98 hp, 1HS |

 

[dyermaker001]

Confident that his ring of Feather Fall will allow him to safely move about the odd room, Nar-Heru makes a thorough investigation of each pedestal, in order, paying special attention to the aforementioned stone knobs. (24 perception)

 

[TerraDave]

move safely? investigation? stone knobs?

Is he just randomly hopping to fall in the right place (next to a pedestal?) if he does, what does he do when he gets to one? The ring does prevent damage from the effect.

 

[dyermaker001]

they also seem to be things of stone that stick out.

Nar moves to Pedestal 1 (acrobatics 22) and examines the things of stone that stick out, trying to manipulate them.

 

[Jin Abackis]

Simorai reconsiders moving onto wall 6. He consults with Nar if he thinks that Tenser’s Floating Disk can be placed under pedestal #1 to lift it up.

 

[TerraDave]

I have no idea...

There are no "stone knobs". There are 6 platforms (these are the things of stone that stick out).

There is nothing special about platform 1. It doesn't move up or down or around. It neither sings nor dances. It has no buttons, switches, or handles. It produces no earl gray tea. It has no where to slot in a disk, sword, floppy disk, or fingernail.

You have, however, spent quite a bit of time examining it. Fortunately, Nar lands next to platform 6.

It and the other platforms remain largely unexamined.
