(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[hafrogman]

Liam stares at the door for a second, blinking. It may not be a mystical seal, but Timmy's path hasn't exactly led them to an easy way in either.

"Any thoughts?"

 

[Knight Otu]

"My thought would be 'open it,' but I guess you're more interested in the 'How do we open it.' I take your magic isn't able to harm objects, then?"

 

[hafrogman]

Liam rolls his eyes slightly at Sel's comments.

"Yes, I meant 'how'. I can certainly use my magic to get us through if you like. . . it may take a while. . . a LONG while."

He turns to their erstwhile companions.

"Can any of you do anything with the lock? Maybe we should have brought the kid, he was probably a master thief."

[sblock=ooc]2d6 damage v. 10 hardness =
1/18 chance of doing 1 damage, 1/36 chance of doing 2 damage.

every 216 seconds (36 rounds) he'll do (on average) 4 points of damage.
60 hp/inch - 2 inches = 120 hp . . . 30*36 = 1080 rounds =
6480 seconds = 108 minutes = 1 hour, 48 minutes.

And then it's a question of whether that's a tiny little hole through the door, or if it's enough to squeeze through. Worst case, gimme a day and I can welding torch my way through.[/sblock]

 

[Knight Otu]

(Well, a tiny hole might be all we need to actually open it.)
"I'd rather not put the boy in unneccesary danger even if he were a master thief." Sel answers.

 

[Vendetta]

"I've no skill in picking locks" Jaeden says, not sure what the group could do to pass the door.

"It's not my area of expertise, but, well, I am a hobbit." Gemble says as he steps forward and looking at the door. The halfling puts his ear to the door first, listening for a moment. "Have any of you something long and very, very thin?"

"Cripes." Krueger groans. "Me says we bash our way through!"

 

[hafrogman]

Liam shrugs at Sel.

"It was merely a joke. I'm quite sure I didn't intend any harm to come to the child."

He shakes his head at Krueger's words though.

"That would be quite loud, if we can get through without attracting unwanted attention, I think it would be for the best."

He looks to Gemble for a moment.

"I have a dagger. . ."

 

[Vendetta]

Gemble eyes the dagger suspiciously. "Hmmmm... My own dagger is smaller... probably not small enough though..." He trails off as he pulls his dagger out and tries to work it into the keyhole. Ten minutes later the clack of a tumbler nearly echoes around the corridor and the iron door is unlocked. Gemble grins as he starts to open the door. "There you go..." But as he speaks, a strange, unearthly moan comes from the other side of the door. Gemble quickly shuts the door and jams his dagger back into the keyhole as if to try to relock the door.

 

[Knight Otu]

"Turns out this door is designed to keep things in and out, after all." Sel sighs as he draws his weapon. "Doesn't change the fact that we have to go in, though."

 

[hafrogman]

Liam gestures for Gemble to stop trying to relock the door, and moves to the iron portal. He swallows hard for a moment before opening it.

"Lets see what we've got."

 

[Vendetta]

As the door opens again, an unearthly moan comes echoing down the cavern toward you. "PPAAAAAAAAAAA WWWEEEEEERRRRRRR" Beyond, Liam's special vision allows him to "see" two humanoid forms shambling toward him some 20 feet away.
