Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Yeoman]

Catherine smiles, but her hand never looses it tight grip on the shaft of her halberd. "And I don't hear any...chakits. That's a good sign."

Kaelan

Kaelan looks nervously upon the temple, waiting with the others. "Silence is never a good thing. Remember the lack of sound in the jungle? They are waiting for us...for him...."

 

[Yeoman]

"Silence is never a good thing. Remember the lack of sound in the jungle? They are waiting for us...for him...."

Hoping the tinge of fear in her own voice isn't that noticeable, Everyone take a deep breath and calm down. We need to stay focused here. I'm sure Sepoto is fine. We haven't heard one of those Chakit sounds, so he's fine. Stay calm.

Take your own advice Catherine, take your own advice...

 

[BRP2]

Charles's stomach growls loudly.

Shh! he utters and grabs his abdomen.

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto answers Catherine thoughtfully,

"The chakit are my people, Friend-Catherine, hence Sepoto's squealing in such a fashion will be easy for his friends to know, heh-heh!"

After stealthily ambling ahead, Sepoto spies the tripwire easily, and chuckles slightly to himself at how obvious it is to his keen eyes. Just the same, he spends an inordinate amount of time making sure that such an obvious countermeasure isn't just bait for a worse trap.

After looking back and easily seeing his companions awaiting in the undergrowth a hundred yards distant, he takes a deep breath and attempts to disarm the bandit's trap.

[SBLOCK] Sepoto will first Search the nearby area and make certain a second, less obvious trap does not exist, and then use Disable Device to disarm the crossbow's mechanism.
Search check = 18
Disable Device check = 12 Hmm, adding an action point, just in case: Action Point result = 6, for a total of 18
Sorry for the delay, guys, my 80-hour work week is almost over, lol[/SBLOCK]

 

[Pebele]

Sepoto carefully searches the area around the crossbow, but he finds no evidence of a secondary trap.

He easily disarms the crossbow trap, carefully firing the crossbow in to the wall so that it will not be discharged accidentally.

Sepoto then motions to the party to move up the hallway, as he moves to the next intersection.

Kaelan

Kaelan stealthily follows behind Sepoto, letting the shifter do his work.

Hide 31, MS, 17

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto continues on, carefully checking for more of the bandit's handiwork.

[SBLOCK] Sepoto will remain wary of potential traps.
Search check = 25
Spot check = 22
Hide check = 27
Move Silently check = 30
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Pebele]

At the intersection, Sepoto discovers no traps. He must choose which direction to continue. He remembers that the party went to the right before, and the left is still completely unexplored.

He sees and hears nothing in either direction.

 

[Yeoman]

Catherine shakes her head as Sepoto disarms the trap. Well, our withdrawal gave them ample time to setup traps. She shakes her head sadly. It couldn't be helped, but we have to deal with the fallout now.

I just hope the prisoners are ok. And what about this artifact? Is it even here?
