[LPF] Tower of the Black Pearl (DM: Deuce Traveler)

[Gorgon Heap]

Double-post.

 

[Gorgon Heap]

Looking in annoyance at her own stinging wound, Lightfeather shrugs it off and returns to the pedestal. She kneels next to Garadh and brushes the mark with her finger and sniffs at it.

Perception http://1d20+6=26

OOC: Lightfeather seems to be awfully good at this.
And yet I'm really bad at remembering how to link rolls ... aagh! Ninja'd!

 

[Deuce Traveler]

As Lightfeather approaches, she stops quite short of Garadh and the pedestal. She can see that the floor around the pedestal is specially constructed to depress at a moderate or greater weight. Any person who steps near is going to be seared by the fire trap. As she has detected the trap, she can also disable it or have another party member disable it under her instructions.

OOC: DC 25 Disable Traps result required. I will allow for the characters to 'Take 20'.

 

[Gorgon Heap]

Lightfeather describes what she sees, but admits she's unfamiliar with such complicated mechanisms. She asks for assistance in disbling it ... but only after somebody convinces her it's a worthwhile task. Why not simply continue? she wonders.

 

[Grayn]

"Don't look at me." Thuk says while holding up an open hand that looks like a bear paw with sausage fingers. "Unless you mean breaking it." snapping his hand closed into a large fist, he turns back to his post watching the stairwell.

 

[Red Knight]

"I am of no use with such either. Perhaps we can simply remove the book without removing the trap." Cid explains as he looks around the room for something that would be a suitable object to push the book.

OOC: Perception 1d20+6=19 to find a 10' pole of sorts.

 

[Khisanth the Ancient]

Garadh shakes his head. "I have no such skills, either. Perhaps we should just move on, as Lightfeather says."

Then, thinking ... "Unless this is the diary Corporal Murphy spoke of."

 

[Deuce Traveler]

The party is unable to deactivate the trap, as they lack the skill to do so.

Although a ten foot pole would likely just barely work in knocking the book off the pedestal, there is nothing in the room that could be of such use. You are also under the impression that the pirates are holding the diary Corporal Murphy wanted, and you doubt that this damaged and ancient-looking book is what you seek.

 

[Grayn]

"We're wasting time and the tides not going to wait for us. Let's move on." Thuk says taking a few cautionary steps down the stairs with his sword at the ready and stopping to listen for any movement. He waits while the others catch up before proceeding further down the stairwell.

Perception: 1d20=9

 

[Red Knight]

Cid nods in agreement as he follows the half-orc down the stairs. "Would you prefer Lightfeather take point?" He pauses for just a moment.
