"Is Ketil still with us? Can he disassemble this gate for us?" Goran asks to the room at large.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 316):

"I hope so. Dwarven though I be, I an more handy with an axe than in a workshop. We will want to reassemble it afterwards"

He gives a shove to see if he can push the critter away with the gate.

[Private to GM: 5 under lifting ST. Pushing gate and slorn.]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 317):

The slorn weighs as much as a horse. There were some wooden staves in the debris upstairs that could be used to push it through the bars.


Amazing you can read through my typos!

"Perhaps with a few staves from upstairs. I can guard here with the crossbow until someone gets back with them..."

I go ...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 320):

In the opposite side of the large dome room, there are a set of three other crescent shaped rooms. One has a number of smashed arcane items, and amongst them are a set of poles previously used to carry something.

Urrun remains alert as he goes there, he takes four of the poles and heads back, listening and sniffing as he goes.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 322):

Urrun returns with the poles, and you all set about pushing the slorn away from the door.


Ooc 4 ST rolls, lifting counts.

"Thank you for these, Urrun."

Goran helps heave with the poles.

12:12, Today: Goran the Marked rolled 13 using 3d6.  Goran ST roll 13.

No big effort





[Private to GM: 11:24, Today: Urrun rolled 13 using 3d6.  ST.  Made by 3]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 325):

Hograth heaves the pole effectively, holding his shield in his other hand...

Do we have a fourth member?

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under, I had him do it one handed to show how easy it was, but please edit that if he would not succeed one handed!]

Ketil give a mighty shove, and collectively you push the eight-legged beast back far enough to get the door open, once it is unlocked...
Ketil reches into his tool kit and brandishes a torsion wrench and an awl.
"Luckily for us, I brough a key."
With a deft flick of his wrist, the rusty lock grinds open.

In reply to Ketil Deepwalker (msg # 327):

"Ah, that is more like it. Now, how can we best search this beast's body?" he asks gruffly, his gravelly voice seeming suited to their current location.

"I have no skill to go spelunking in that corpse. I say we push past and see what lies beyond."

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 329):

"I have heard they can eat valuables. I would prefer to check...is their blood or stomach unusually acidic?"

"I have no idea, but take a look. I'll keep watch."

Me watch too

In reply to Urrun (msg # 332):

Hograth finds a high spot behind the creature, where he will have access to some fluids to clean the axe (away from the internal mess that he expects to come from the critter) once the internals leak out, before accurately cutting into it with his axe. He will then quickly clean his axe in something other that gore from the creature before using one of the poles to poke around inside the critter.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 333):

Hograth slices into the armored belly of the beast. Voluminous entrails flow out with a spatter, along with the quilled remains of one of the giant maned rats, some goblin sized bones, and a dark metal wrist fetter attached with a chain to a metal rod with some protrusions. Ketil looks at it intently.

Smells bad...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 335):

Hograth uses a pole to remove anything such as the chain and protrusions, and then to look for anything else.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 336):

"I think that is a gate key. I have seen the few that the Department of Aquaducts and Sewers keep about, and that defintely is one... but that is neither bronze nor iron."

In reply to Ketil Deepwalker (msg # 337):

"So something Ketil should have. What is the significance of the different metals?"

Make an armory roll

In reply to Narrator (msg # 339):

Rolled 2 under for mellea weapons, missile weapons or body armour.
