The Scattered Ones

Heal check ... ummm you identify that you've bludgeoned him into unconsciousness. With your extensive knowledge of tavern brawls you analyse the sizeable bump on the dwarf's head. You think he will probably regain consciousness in 7-8 hours.

 

[dorin]

"I think he is going to be unconscious for some time ... unless the cleric can do something about it."

Seebor looks at Namfoodle.

If nothing can be done to help the dwarf gain consciousness then Seebor searches all of the dead rats/dwarves upstairs.

 

[Morbidity]

If no one else replies by Monday, I’ll assume that you’re leaving the dwarf unconscious and going to search bodies. I don’t know if I made it clear earlier, that the staircase does continue downwards.

 

[dorin]

Seebor moves to the beginning of the staircase and listens intently. He then descends to the next level - slowly and silently - stopping if he sees anything suspicious.

[listen: 3-1 = 2]
[move silently: 3+14-1 = 16]
[hide: 1+12 = 13]

 

[Amaryllis]

For the sake of my own sanity, I thought I would check that I know where everyone is and what they are doing. Can someone let me know if I am in error.

Amaryllis and Mouse are guarding the crawlways. Nothing has yet emerged. The only (discovered) crawlway entrances are the ground and 1st floor.

Seebor is about to explore the -2th floor. Tomas and Whatsit are following Seebor (Whatsit is quasi-invisible). The -1st floor has been fully explored and contains 1 unconscious, tied up dwarf. (Can we get the final map?)

Neblin is guarding the entrance to the building. Nothing has yet approached. He may become bored of this (assuming he logs in) and wish to engage in more exciting endeavors.

 

[Malin Genie]

Contemplating waking the dwarf up, Namfoodle decides instead to continue to shadow Seebor about 5-10 ft behind him, camouflaged and quiet.

He also keeps an ear open.

OOC2: Is it too late to remind everyone of the cardinal rule of not splitting the party up, and how it applies doubly in PBPs ?

What and spoil my fun ... Mwahahahhahahahahah!

Okay, let me see if I know where everyone is ...

A visible Seebor is about to go downstairs ... slowly and silently and stopping if he sees anything suspicious and hearing his own breathing [listen=2]

A camouflaged Namfoodle is following Seebor downstairs 5-10 feet behind.

Amaryllis and Mouse are guarding the Causeways.

Tomas is probably eating his rations.

Neblin is guarding the front door.

Would sweet little me take advantage of the fact that the party is now in 3 or 4 different places. Never .... smiles, sweetly (desperately rolling for a bluff check with a -14 circumstance penalty).


And on we go with the adventure:
Seebor starts down the stairs, listening to his own heartbeat, attempting to blend into the walls with Namfoodle just behindhim doing a much better job.
As Seebor reaches the third step he sts off a trap and a large creature suddenly appears. The creature is a dirty-brown in colour and appears to meld with the floor and the walls in a somewhat unpleasant manner. I think it would be fair to say that both Seebor and Namfoodle are surprised.

So the surprise round ...
The creature slams into Seebor, dealing 23 points of damage. Suddenly realises Seebor is nowhere near on full hitpoints and that people may die here .... see Malin Genie's OOC2 comment above. Sorry guys! Seebor (unless my calcs are incorrect) slumps to the ground unconscious.

Ummmm.... I guess that would be the end of the surprise round. Would Seebor and Namfoodle like to roll for initiative?

 

[Amaryllis]

Just let me know if and when I hear anything.

 

[Malin Genie]

OOC: Initiative 19 +1 =20

As far as he can tell, has the creature seen/heard Namfoodle (unlike Seebor, he actually was quite well concealed IIRC)?
