[LPF] Into the Wilds Part 1

Kepli Stormborn


Kepli didn't have any skill with locks so she left the chest for someone else to deal with. Though looking from face to face of those who traveled and fought with her she thought that might be taking an axe to the lock. She hoped there was nothing fragile inside. Turning her attention to Regar's monologue she listened then offered her assurances.

"You can do it, Regar. You don't need a 'Identify' spell; I have faith in you."

Regar blushes a bright red a Kepli's reassurances. "Erm, well uh, yes I... Could attempt to identify it without- without the spell. Detect magic does make the uh... The matter easier. Very well... I will try... Then I'll just check the chest in case it's trapped... Ok, here goes nothing!"

Regar takes out spike his scorpion familiar to aid him, the little creature focusing it's own spell craft-skills in an attempt to assist Regar, through it's tremor-sense it picks up on the subtle changes in density in the spear, the soft vibrations and the humming ring of any potential magics nearby.

Snorri gathers up his axe and shoulders his shield. He scans the contents of the room, eyeing the box momentarily until his eyes adjust and fall upon the spear, he squints, "aye, that tis a fine thing that ther, not for the likes of goblinkin! We've done well to wrest it."
Watching intently as Regar portrays the dying goblin, Snorri chuckles, placing his hand on the elf's shoulder, "fine work, lad, fine work! I never hae no want for that wretched tongue, still it is good to know their mind. Maybe this one were wily and had ways around his master?" the dwarf ponders, his hand dropping away as he steps forward and picks up his light hammer. Stowing the weapon in his belt, he proceeds slowly toward the tunnel alcove and peers down the hole.

Character Sheet
[/sblock]

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Regar identifies the weapon as a magical short spear, which possesses a weak enhancement which allows for easier swinging, thrusting, and a slightly greater impact than normal (Short Spear +1). It is definitely of dwarven origin. No magic aura comes from the outside of the chest, though a cursory poke at the lid tells you that it is locked. In fact, nothing else radiates magic in the rest of the room, so all of the shaman's trinkets were worthless to all but him and superstitious members of his tribe.

As for the hole itself, it looks like a quality masonry job, though the water appears to be somewhat stagnant. A half-orc or dwarf would not be able to slip down there while wearing armor, but a human or thinner person could with a bit of a squeeze.

 

[Radaceus]

OOC: no interest in the spear, it should go to someone who would actively use the weapon, my vote (i.e., Kepli, maybe Brog?)

 

[sunshadow21]

Brog Strongheart

Brog will stand watch while the others search. He'll take the spear if offered, and will try to open the chest the only way a dwarven warrior knows, by smashing the lock open, after warning everyone to put some space between them and the chest, of course.

OOC: Sorry about the short post. Life is busy right now. I would say the spear should go to one of the front line fighters to give them a weapon to use against the cheiftain.

Kepli Stormborn


Kepli declines use of the shortspear. As she explains, there are plenty of skilled warriors who could make better use of the weapon than she could. She peers doubtfully down the shaft of the well.

"Do we really need to go down there? I suppose it is possible that the shaman stowed something down there, or dropped something down there..."

[Deuce Traveler]

After some effort, Brog succeeds in destroying the top of the chest to see what is inside. And a good thing he went that route, too, because the chest had inside of it a complex-looking mechanical trap of some kind that would have shot out some needles filled with some sappy liquid that you assume is poisonous. Unfortunately, the chest also contained three potions in glass vials that are now shattered and destroyed, and may have likely been very valuable. You do recover 75sp and 15gp from the remains of the chest, however.

OOC: At this point you can continue to investigate the well or head for the stairs in the previous room that go westwards and upwards.

Maenor Thandgur

[section]

Seeing the shattered glass fragments within the chest Maenor sighs, "Well that really is a tragedy now, isn't it? It be a real shame if the key was just laying about too." Seeming to dismiss the chest from his thoughts Maenor walks over to the grungy-looking hole in the wall. Peering into it briefly he looks around the room for some suitable item. Picking up a ruined book, he thumbs through it to ensure that it is indeed worthless. Seemingly satisfied, he traces a delicate rune on its surface which suddenly bursts forth bright light. He then casually tosses the book down the shaft, awaiting the inevitable splash.
