The Scattered Ones

[Malin Genie]

Let me know if you wish to set fire to it.

OOC: ROTFLMAO!

IC: Namfoodle wanders over to the cauldrons in the fireplace and checks inside.

Seebor looks around, including the room with the machinery, to see if he can see the imp.

If he can find the him he tells the others that the upstairs is clear, and that maybe we should explore the downstairs while he is still invisible.

If light permits he descends the stairs as far as he can go, keeping on the alert for traps or anything suspicious. If he sees anything suspicious he stops and exams in.

He attempts moves silently.

Amaryllis suggests that someone stand guard on the stairs while we search the area (Neblin?). She then goes back downstairs to look cautiously into the remaining room on the east side.

The room with the machinery ... this area contains a lot of machinery and piping. The machinery and piping extends down to the next level. The piping amongst other places, goes into the bathroom and is obviously the piping creating the miracle of the flush toilet. The machinery is not entirely closed off, there are a few small crawlways.

No sign of the imp anywhere.

Seebor ... you're going down to the level below ground? If so ... you go down the steps to the main level and start to descend to the next level down. The second stair down is a different colour to the others (I interpret this to be what you meant by 'anything suspicious'. What do you want to do? Also the stairs below are very dark ... there doesn't appear to be a light source below.

Seebor finds the others and says:

"Since there is nothing on this level I think we need to look on the next level up. I'll go first as I am invisible. Keep an ear out as I will call out if I encounter trouble. At some stage we will need to come back and look at the pipes."

Seebor seaches for traps when he reaches the top of the stairs:

[search 7+8 = 15]

 

[Morbidity]

The stairs finish at the turret, which Seebor struggles to fit into. It is very small and contains an automatic ballista. There are a series of levers.

 

[Amaryllis]

Question

1. Who can fit into the crawlways? A human? A halfling? A rat? Also, does Amaryllis know about the crawlways from her previous exploration downstairs, or not?

2. Does Amaryllis see anything in the room she recently entered (ground floor, east side)? I don't want to rush you but I wasn't sure whether I was waiting for you or you were waiting for me.

 

[dorin]

Seebor reports to the others everything he has seen.

[OOC: I take it there is no sign of the imp]

 

[Morbidity]

No sign of the imp.

Anyone dwarven size or smaller can crawl around the machinery if they desire to be a 'grease monkey'.

Amaryllis, if you make an intelligence check above 2 you can decide that the machinery you saw through the door before realising that you may be about to have crisped "Mouse" for dinner is likely connected to the machinery that Seebor is currently viewing .. or you are viewing if you are up there with him.

Not really sure where everyone is at the moment.

Neblin ... are you alive?

 

[Amaryllis]

Sorry, all the posts have been getting a bit confusing, so I'll restate what Amaryllis is doing:

Amaryllis suggests that someone stand guard on the stairs while we search the area (Neblin?). She then goes back downstairs to look cautiously into the remaining room on the east side.

(Intelligence check on the pipes = 19+2=21 - why o why can't I roll like that when I need it)
