Message: <blockquote data-quote="Branding Opportunity" data-source="post: 2589034" data-attributes="member: 31812">Hearing that the minstrel is clear of the rock, Owen and Majakilar motion for everyone to stand back.  The giant grips the top of the block while his helper wedges the crowbar into the corner which he believes will yield the best result.  With a nod of their heads both begin to strain against the weight of the stone.  At first the block does not move.  Then the two redouble their efforts and push almost to the brink of their ability.  Veins pop out in their necks and heads and their muscles can be seen moving even under their armor.  Finally the top of the block begins to move and once it is past it's tipping point, comes crashing down on the floor next to them, making a sound loud enough to possible be heard back in Diamond Lake.  Amazingly, neither the block nor the floor seem to sustain any damage (OOC:  Majakilar Str check to aid 13 + 2 (Str) + 2 (crowbar) = 17, success! Owen Strength check 15 + 5 (Str) + 2 (assist) = 22, failure; 2nd Owen Str check 18 + 5 (Str) + 2 (assist) = 25, success!).After a split-second everyone recovers from the din just in time to hear a small stone "click!" and a pressure plate pop up in the place where the block once stood. It is immediately followed by a hissing sound coming from the walls.  It seems that the many bas-relief frescos lining the wall are emitting a noxious green gas which begins to fill the room.Now that the block has been cleared there is a clear exit out of the room.  The only impediment, if only a small one, is a very dirty, yet well-dressed gnome.  Be careful not to run him over.</blockquote>
