THE CHAOS EFFECT
SEGMENT 052

Kerrick holds out his green stained hand for rashleigh to look at. Rash looks at it (Heal 13) and encourages a better cleaning of it but feels it is not a toxin. He pours water on the hand and the lever then wipes it with a cloth.

Kerrick smells his hand a few times. It stinks to him. He looks at the trap again (Search 17) and decides it is safe and crosses over carefully. The lever has locked the trap still. He motions for others to cross over while looking and listening behind and to the sides of himself. "The Kobolds scare easily but often return in greater numbers. We need to hurry but be careful also."

 

[Bront]

"Kerrick, is there a lever on the other side? In case some Kobold gets the bright idea to reset the trap?" Vander asks.

 

[MadMaxim]

"We'll deal with them when we got what we came for..." Spike says impatiently and crosses over.

 

[Cedious]

Clang plays follow the warforged and follows spike over.

THE CHAOS EFFECT
SEGMENT 053

You cross the locked tilting floor trap and turn left as per the map. Another pit trap is here and exposed only this time there are several boards over it complete with ropes. Some of these ropes go down into the pit.

Quick searches locate dropped tools and crude gear. The Kobolds were here when you set off the glue trap. Where they are now is uncertain.

Kerrick looks for traps (Search 12) and finds none. Clang (Listen 15 the best result of everyone :\ ) tries to listen for the possible return of the Kobolds. He hears nothing except for the PCs progress into the dungeon.

ACTIONS?

 

[Bront]

"I suggest we pull up the ropes out of the pit, and then continue on." Vander says.

 

[Jdvn1]

"If someone could drop a Light down there, that could be useful too." Tamin peers over the edge of the pit.

 

[MadMaxim]

"Excellent idea, Vander." Spike starts pulling the ropes out of the pit. "I wonder why they're hanging here...?"

 

[megamania]

Vander (spot 16), Rash (Spot 20), Tamin (Spot 20), Clang (Spot 19) and Spike (spot 15) see the pit is 20 feet deep and below there are two holes carved into the walls of the pit. The holes are kobold sized (2 1/2 feet around roughly).

As the ropes are lifted- Vander (list 19) and Rash (list 19) can hear faint sounds of kobolds speaking from within the holes. The last of the ropes are lifted out.

 

[Bront]

"Well, it seems like this may have been the source of our mischevious Kobolds. We should keep an eye open still, but hopefully that will contain them." Vander says.
