[PbP] Treasure Hunt - Emerald DMing

[Capellan]

I stay on watch while Reinert does his 'thing'.

 

[Emerald]

Reinert: After inspecting the area with your club you surmise that if anyone walked in the middle the floor would give way, but if you remained withing a couple of feet of the wall on either side you would be able to safely navigate the hallway.

"Oh, it's nothing, Jarred. Go ahead down the hall."

If the fighter advances (or if he doesn't) Reinert stops him. "OK - just a joke. There appears to be a pit in the floor. But if we walk carefully along the edge of the wall, we should be OK. I'll go first."

As he carefully edges along the wall, he remarks. "I feel so much better w/Cat back there, covering me w/his crossbow."

 

[Capellan]

I ignore Reinert's foolish comments, as being beneath my attention.

OOC: nose firmly in the air

Assuming you all follow Reinert's suggestion, you all make it to the other side. The hallway is approx. 100 feet long (the weak spot taking up 10 feet near the beginning). There are two corridors to your left. Both are 50 feet long. The northern one has a door every 10 feet to the south, and the southern one has a door every 10 feet to the north. The hallways are 40 feet apart.

"It's like a rabbit warren down here." I push my hair back from my eyes for the tenth time today, "Same plan as last time? Check out each door in turn, starting with the closest corridor?"

 

[Manzanita]

Reinert

"OK, Cat. That's a good plan, but remember how I saved your ass last time because my good dwarven common sense caused me to open the double door & find that statue that got us away from the orcs."

"I'll start with the Northern corridor. Make sure none of those tapestries sneak up behind us Cat." Reinert winks at Jarred.

 

[Capellan]

"I must agree that your ability to carry out my instructions has thus far proven quite satisfactory."

 

[Krug]

Jarrad stands guard. "Pah... quickly Dwarf!" He didn't like the dwarf's wink.

 

[Emerald]

Reinet: You open the first door down the northern corridor and quickly jump out of the way as a crossbow bolt wizes by you. The room is 10 x 20 feet. The crossbow was set up on a chair facing the door with a mechanism to go off when you opened the door. There is a bed on one side with the dead body of a human on it. In the back there is a desk and on the top of the desk is a stack of papers.

OOC: I will tell you what the paper says in the next post. Motherhood calls.
