RESTARTED - Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

[Rhun]

The shaft drops down some thirty feet into a small chamber. Against one wall still stands the old wooden table you had previously noted. A five foot wide tunnel leads away to the west, rough-hewn through the limestone.

 

[Boddynock]

"This could take a while!"

Ragnok opens his heart to the call of stone and examines the walls of the chamber, and the corridor beyond.

Coraine waits for the others to descend, keeping alert.

 

[Rhun]

Neither Ragnok nor Trevor find any sign of a concealed portal in this small chamber. Ragnok starts down the corridor, examining the limestone walls as he slowly walks. He recalls that the passage runs some five or six hundred feet before it opens into another chamber. It will definitely take some time.

Assuming normal full-round checks every five feet, it will really only take 10-11 minutes to search down the corridor. We are talking significantly longer if you plan on Taking 20 , we are talking about 3-4 hours to check the corridor.

 

[Rhun]

After an hour of Ragnok and Trevor searching the corridor, they give up on it in frustration. There is nothing there. Instead they turn their attention to the circular 40' diameter chamber at the corridor's end. A 3' wide passage opens in the room's north wall. Ragnok knows that this runs for several hundred more feet, before ending in the side of a well shaft that rises to the site of an abandon cottage in the woods.

Taking their time searching the chamber, they are finally rewarded with success when they discover a hidden door of rough hewn stone, matching the chamber walls. It is set in the south wall, and when a catch is triggered, the stone portal pivots to allow access. A three foot wide passage leading into darkness leads away from the chamber in which you stand.

 

[Boddynock]

"Ha! This is more promising. Come on!"

Not waiting for confirmation, the dwarf sets off down the corridor. A moment or two later, however, he comes back, looking thoughtful.

"I'd rather young Trevor here wasn't in the front line all the time ... but the truth is that this passageway could be trapped. And if it's not, it's likely to open up somewhere where a little stealth might be necessary. Now, I can probably shake off the effects of whatever trap they've set there - but being quiet isn't exactly my forte. So come on, Trevor, lead the way! And I'll be right behind you!"

 

[Legildur]

Kurt smiles as their efforts are finally rewarded. He assesses their current situation and decides that more healing would be appropriate before continuing. Taking out the Wand of Lesser Retoration he.....
ooc: what's the current hit point totals?

 

[Rhun]

OOC:: Coraine and Trevor are down 19 hit points each, and everyone else is down 7 hit points. Kurt has used 1 turn undead attempt.

Trevor -19
Dara -7
Verdis -7
Ragnok -7
Coraine -19
Kurt -7

 

[Boddynock]

OOC: Rhun, I thought Kurt had already healed 10 pts of damage. Hang on, I'll go back and check.

Sound of footsteps receding down the corridor ...
...
... and coming back again.

Yep, two lots of 5 hp each, in posts 281 & 292. That means we've all lost either 2 or 14 hp.

 

[Legildur]

ooc: yep, two lousy rolls for a total of 10. One of Rhun's and one of mine. Thanks Boddy for chasing that down.

bic: .... applies the wand to Trevor and Coraine, healing each of the wounded warriors to near full health (11 hps each).
