[PbP] Treasure Hunt - Emerald DMing

[Capellan]

"I suggest we split up to save some time. Jarrad can look where the bricks fell, I'll check for secret doors, and you can climb down the well and take a look. I'm not sure what the loon will do, so I wouldn't plan on anything from him." I glance around, "I think the well or the pit are going to be our best options."

 

[Emerald]

At this point I need to know EXACTLY what each of you are doing

Cattivo: If you are going to look for secret door, where are you going to look and in what order. There are 5 storage areas (A,B,C,D,E), the room with the well, and you can tell pretty easily there are only two smaller apartments on the end have unaccounted walls (1,2), and the walls of the hallway, of course.

Reinert: Are you climbing into the well, how are you going about it?

Jarrad & Cid: What are you doing?

 

[Capellan]

I start with the small apartments (1, then 2), followed by the storerooms (A through E). After that, I'll look in the room with the well, and check up on how Reinert is doing.

I'll leave the hallway to Jarrad.

 

[Krug]

Jarrad will check on the hallway.

I'm trying to encourage Reinert to NOT go down the well till we are more sure of his personal safety. Of course, he's apparantly ignored my rantings so, hey, "Why not?"

"Cid, do you remember anything else about that dream of yours? Did she say anything about how we get to the underground tunnel leading out of here?"

"Really, and I mean really, the more I wait, the more the dream drifts from memory... but I tell you this, the sounds of the ocean come to mind. What this means is nothing to me. I don't think we can 'let' Reinert go down there like that until we know we have a way to get him back out! Once he gets wet, how's he going to climb out!?!"

 

[Manzanita]

Reinert

Reinert is impressed with Cid. "Thanks for your concern, buddy. It is a little crazy to climb down in a well like that. You know, dwarves aren't the best climbers, short arms, you know. But I'll try. Maybe you can stick with me. You can tie those cloaks around my belt. Hmmm. Not that that would be able to pull me up. Let me at least look down there w/my darkvision & see if I can see anything. I think I tried that before, but let me at least check it again. Want to come? I don't know what else to do except help Cat check for secret doors."

 

[Emerald]

I am going to do the searching in increments in case someone wants to change there mind, do something else, or look at something more closely. I will be having you search 100 feet of wall per post. If I do not hear from you, I will assume you all continue with what you were doing.

Cattivo: You search the 1st apartment and find nothng. You search the 2nd apartment and find nothing. When you go up to storeroom A, you are hear the crashing and digging from above. It sounds as if they have managed to dig about halfway down. In order to search the storerooms you will need to move the large crates of dirt first. Assuming you take the time to do that you locate nothing in Storeroom A.

Reinert: You stare into the well again. It is made of roughly carved stone, it goes down appox. 40 feet, has appox. 1 foot of clearence of a very fast moving river. You could feel the pull of the river when you sent the bucket down to get water. You do not see anything of interest. If you are going to search for secret door where are you starting your search?

Jarrad: You begin searching the hallway. Are you starting at the north near the cave-in or in the south near the apartments?

 

[Capellan]

I take one look at the crates of dirt and decide that a cursory inspection is all that is required in the five storerooms.

No way am I moving all that stuff and getting covered in dirt and sweat. I'm a musician, not a labourer!

After I'm done, I'll go check on Reinert.

 

[Manzanita]

Reinert

Does this seem to be the same river as flows under the pit? How much clearence was there if we descended from the pit? I"ll go back & check if necessary.

"perhaps the river is the way out. But that's probably last resort." I'll start helping the others check for secret doors.

South near the apartments.
