The Forges of the Mountain King Chapter 1- Bottom's Up!

[Goonalan]

It looks to me as the vote is four for going on through the sodden door, and two for taking out the Goblins etc. which will be left behind you. Although some people seem to have voted twice, and for both sides- I'm taking their first votes.

On to the Dwarves- Cinara, Mardred, Kathra & Kazz
Back to the Goblins etc.- Grim & Krogan.

Democracy says you press forward...

And so armed to the teeth, fully healed up and with all powers ready to go you assemble in Big Uppity's chamber, before the door.

New Map-

139 The Sodden Door

So, the door seems to have outgrown the door frame- it's sodden (we've stated this previously), it looks like it's going to be difficult to open...

Who does what?

And happy hunting...

Grim

Grim takes a few steps back and says: "Whoever wants to open it should check for traps first..."

OOC: yeah yeah, so I can't find North from Down.

Cinara

"Well don't look at me, Grim. Forget that it's...weird, but I'm not cut out to look for tricksies or to push my way through a huge door. I mean, I can look it over, but I've no idea what I'd be looking for...

Mardred, Krogan -- would you do the honors?"

You are certain that to open the door then you, and maybe a few of your pals are going to have to put your shoulder to it...

GM: Strength checks- probably multiple.

Grim

Grim shrugs and quickly looks also for traps: "I will not be good at the pushing/dragging stuff. My abilities to do this are diminished since ... my return."

[sblock=OOC]
Moving back after aiding Cinara. Will note if he/they finds something.
I assume we cannot take 20?

Mardred

"Methinks if the door is wet, there's bound to be some water or something behind it. Could be the only thing keeping us from being drowned..."

OOC: Mardred will examine the door for anything trap-like.

 

[Ressurectah]

Krogan

After Mardreds perception check result (and explanation- concerning the water/ drowning part), Krogan will put his massive shoulder on the door and push it with all his strenght ( if Mardred says it is clear..). He will take out Threeways and say " there you go TeeWee. You can help me with the doors ." With a big smile. Krgan will go to work. Somehow, it is always nicer to do things with friends and with a smile...

Kathra

Kathra looks at the Threeways and starts to mumble to herself again. "Threep, akar, threep" she seems to be saying, her words may not seem to make sense but her tone is that of a teacher warning the class prankster.

She's fully aware that she's not the strongest of dwarves, but like all bottom dwellers she's not afraid to roll her sleeves up, and so puts her shoulder to the door alongside Krogan.

OOC: The mighty Kathra flexes her muscles

 

[Herobizkit]

OOC: I would strongly suggest waiting to hear back from the DM on my Perception check before y'all decide to shove the door open. I mean, it's a wet door - you'd have an easier time hacking it down than shoving it open... but since you can't, I'm guessing there might be water pressure pushing against said door.

 

[larryfinnjr]

Cinara

OOC: @Herobizkit - agree to a point - it might be good to at least have the checks and whatnot posted for DM to see... he's good at altering the thought process mid-stream if something comes up that would change things, like finding a trap or whatnot... that way if there isn't anything, he's got plenty to progress with. With the door so waterlogged, Mr. DM, does Cinara's or anyone else's perception check let us know if any water is 'leaking' into the room? Hard to believe wooden doors would be 100% watertight, so if there is pressure behind them, there'd be water on this side of them I'd wager.

"I'll not have the redhead upstaging me...." Cinara thinks to herself as she puts her shoulder to the door as well.

"That's right, Red...anything you can do........"

OOC:
