The Forgotten Forge

[renau1g]

Seeing the mithril circle Cole looks to C and asks the warforged"Think you could pry that off?". Realizing what Kim Kim said to them a second ago Cole will also ask him "Hmmmm, I did think the Lady was pretty trusting of us, you don't think this is a trap do you?"

 

[Creamsteak]

"I don't trust her at all, but I wanted the money I guess..."

 

[Pinnacle]

C nods. "If you think I should, I can give it a try. Could someone hold these for me?" He hands off his hammer and shield, then moves over to the seal. "Stand back," he adds.

Gripping the edges, the powerful warforged pulls back with heroic effort, attempting to wrench the thing off the wall.

Strength check (1d20 3=12)

The hatch doesn't come off. Three orbs of acid come out of the hatch and hit C, Rogarth, and Kim Kim.

Damage=Rogarth 3, C 1, and Kim Kim 3.

Thalmarose slap his free hand to his forhead before stepping forward. "...Yah, she gave us the key my gung-ho compatriots. Just stand back and keep an eye out for any more spies from the baron of hammers or whatever his name is..." He rummages around in his pack for a moment, then takes a look back down the passage (but gets a crick in his neck) then brings out the journal and holds it out so that the seals are facing each other.

The journal and the icon on the hatch both glow and the hatch opens. The circular hatch opens onto a vertical shaft five feet wide and cloaked in pitch blackness. Wind rushes from the depths to find release somewhere higher in the tower, demontrating that fresh air continues to circulate even in the forgotten sections of the tower.

"Ah," says C, touching the small burn from the acid, "a magic door. That would explain why nobody opened it yet."

He takes the sunrod from his belt and holds it over the shaft, trying to see how far down it goes.

 

[renau1g]

Feeling pretty embarrassed for his last suggestion Cole will look to the three injured companions and asks "Do any of you require any healing? Sorry for the stupid suggestion. There's obviously a reason it still was there."

 

[greenstar]

"Ah," says C, touching the small burn from the acid, "a magic door. That would explain why nobody opened it yet."

He takes the sunrod from his belt and holds it over the shaft, trying to see how far down it goes.

The light doesn't reach the bottom. There is only darkness.

 

[Arabesu]

"Why don't we tie that sunrod to my rope. We can then lower it down to try to see further. I could use a bit of healing, but it looks like Kim Kim might need it more than me."

OOC Are there handholds or steps or something. I can't imagine 1st level adventurers getting down a big shaft so easily unless there is something to climb with. I have rope!

OOC I can help a bit with healing as Rogarth has prepared 1 cure light and 2 cure minor.
