Pathfinders of Pelligrew's Pinnace [IC 01]

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC:

Nicely played, fellas!

IC:

Hard as Lerissa tries, she is unable to fathom the secrets of the smooth stone box - no matter which way she turns it or how she squints, hinges and clasp do not present themselves.

OOC (The 2nd):

Anyone else want to chime in on the boxes? Two down, one remains to meet the minimum asked by Grandmaster Torch . . .

 

[HolyMan]

Looking at the box with the small holes Leaf asks if he could dunk it outside in some water, but is refused promptly.

"I thought maybe the water would push the panel out," he shrugs and says to everyone. "There are ten holes," he says outloud. "What else has? Ah ha!" Leaf takes and tries to place a finger in each hole but his hands are way to big.

"Maybe someone with smaller slender fingers sould try and press inside the small holes." he says gesturing to the safe.

[sblock=OOC] All I can think of now is an Acrobatics check and that is nowhere near Leaf's strong suit. LOL anyone want to try? And Decipher Script requires training for the writing in this chest. [/sblock]

Are the holes big enough to put fingers/thumb in? If so Lerissa will attempt to do just this.

Also, what color is the smooth rock safe, can we determine what kind of rock? Shale, granite...?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The holes are definitely not big enough for fingers - even a child's.

The smooth stone box is made of finished marble - not polished, but very smooth.

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Wow, step away for a couple of days and I miss pages of play!

Abraxis is quiet as the others discuss the boxes, only nodding as his companions solve each one. He then moves closer to the remaining boxes, eying them carefully with his otherworldly eyes.


Perception checks: 11, 21

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Abraxis' careful examination of the remaining boxes reveals the script and holes on the box held by Leaf, and smooth stone of the box held by Lerissa, and the devils head dial on the remaining box.

[sblock=OOC]Linguistics - the new Decipher Script![/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Abraxis frowns, and tries to suss out some possible meaning from the remaining boxes.


Linguistics check: 10 - Not good on its own, but I believe a 10 is good enough to aid another, right?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=Abraxis]With Mustapha gone (I'm not sure yet where he's gone, but I'll figure something out) none of you actually has Linguistics as a trained skill. Therefore (in this one case) I'll allow Abraxis to use it untrained. DC 7 was enough to figure out that the script on the box is a set of musical notes.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

"I'm not very musically inclined, but I believe this script on the box is a set of muscial notes," says Abraxis. The aasimar begins whistling the notes, but he is horribly off-key as he does so.


OOC: Perform Check: 06

Lerissa

When Abraxis tells the group that the script might be musical notes, Lerissa looks for a pattern correlating the holes and the script. Possibly like playing the flute.

OOC - Mike, roll whatever might be applicable. I'm sure she'll probably not be very good at figuring this out but ya never know.
