"No harm done." Valdnur grunts then jogs along to catch up with Arthur. Due to Rick's meandering distractable pace it isn't difficult for them to catch their teammates just as they're entering the dockyards.

"Arthur made the messenger into five sheets of paper and I got us five silver per page." Valdnur says, "I'll distribute it back at the hall, no good sense flipping silver about in this area..."

In reply to Valdnur Silverheart (msg # 111):

As you head out and up the stairs, you notice that there is no longer a doorway in the wall where the shop was...

“Took you long enough,” Rick said. “So, this is the place. But, not sure where to go from here. What are we looking for again?”

In reply to Theadric Greenbottle (msg # 113):

The likely site proposed by the ogre has signs of minimal inhabitation, but there are a couple chimneys going strong.

“Ah, yes. This place,” he said, sticking a thumb over his shoulder at the seemingly inhabited building. “Wanna take a look? Oz should go first.”

"Just let me check for traps and unlock the door." Oz went to the door, and carefully checked for traps then tried to opene the door.


22:30, Today: Osgood rolled 13 using 3d6.  traps 14.

In reply to Osgood (msg # 116):

The door seems to have some kind of trapping system- it looks like a tripwire
Will be pulled if the door is opened, possibly setting off an alarm or triggering a mechanism inside the room beyond the door. The lock opens smoothly otherwise- it has been oiled!

Oz attempts to disarm the trap.

10:35, Today: Osgood rolled 14 using 3d6.  traps 14.

Tou are able to snatch hold of the tripline and disengage it from the door. Now you can open the door without setting it off, but you need to tie off the line or nail to the doorway to keep the tension the same when you open the door.

“Let me see if I can find something to hold that line taut,” said Rick, trotting into a nearby alley.

14:28, Today: Theadric Greenbottle rolled 14 using 3d6.  Scrounging 19.
Looking for a nail or something similar to hold the tripline.

"Alright, after we get that tied we're going in. Os, you lead, then Espiri, Arthur, and Rick; I'll bring up the rear." Valdnur says pulling out two pistol crossbows and checking that they're fully loaded, "Any additions, corrections, or deletions to the plan?"

"Once we get inside I will be bringing along my fiery friend to join in the fun. might be we put him second in line just in case. Don't want him starting fights with non-combatants by accident after all."

In reply to Theadric Greenbottle (msg # 120):

You find a loose nail and tie off the line.  With the door open, you can see that the line would have fired a crossbow both at human head height at the doorway - only Espiri would have been at risk. The line continues from there, looking as if it might have set off an alarm as well as the crossbow.

Beyond the door is a smallish room, with wide plank flooring and rough plaster walls. There is a fireplace, and despite the smoke you saw from above, there is no fire in the fireplace.

Espiri steps over the tripline and into the room. He makes sure to be a few inches off the ground as he walks around. He notes where the crossbow is placed, and says quietly, "Of course it would only have been me to get shot. You lot are all too short!"

He then asks in a half-whisper, "What now? We still have no idea if we are in the right place or not."

once everyone was inside Arthur decides it is time to bring out his friend just in case there are any unsavory people in the area.

"Now we bring out a little muscle in case this cannot be solved peacefully."



16:45, Today: Arthur rolled 10 using 3d6.  Summon Khoza, 15 or less.

In reply to Arthur (msg # 125):

The room dims, and there is a smell like hot iron and burnt flesh, that quickly becomes sulferous and a shadow forms in the center of the room, whispy at first, but gradually forming the angular shape of a batwinged horned demon, muscular and equipped with a jaggedly spiked polearm.
His eyes glow like the embers of a ruined hope.

"Or are you too tall Espiri?" Oz begins to follow the line pausing to take the bolt out of the crossbow without triggering it. "Here Valdnur, no charge."

Is there another door out of the room?

"Khoza, it is not yet time for fun, first you must stay quiet and follow in line. You will follow Ozzy there and if something attacks him then you get to have your fun."

Arthur may only stand up to Khozapukt's kneecap but he clearly does not fear this demon.

Khozapukt merely silently nods in agreement and gets in line quietly behind osgood. Only the gleam of his eyes show his excitement for the combat ahead.

In reply to Arthur (msg # 128):

The room is small, three yards by four, with a low ceiling just above two yards. There is a rickety looking ladder leading to a loft area under the eaves, and a broken table to one side.


Per rolls

Arthur looks around the room a bit more closely after summoning Khoza.



23:43, Today: Arthur rolled 8 using 3d6.  Per/16 looking around.

After getting his instructions from the annoying half pint Khoza looks around the room and grunts not seeing much before getting ready to move along.

23:44, Today: Khozapukt rolled 9 using 3d6.  Per/10.

Espiri wanders up to the loft area using the air as steps. He takes a hard look around the room as he does so.


22:08, Today: Espiri Skyblessed rolled 6 using 3d6.  PER 10 (+2 if Vision-based).

Rick grabbed his crossbow and braces it against its sling as he moved about, looking for anything interesting.

04:54, Today: Theadric Greenbottle rolled 12 using 3d6.  Per 13.

Valdnur scans the room two crossbows pointing left and right as he creeps in at the back of the group.

07:34, Today: Valdnur Silverheart rolled 10 using 3d6.  Per 12. Success by 2.

Oz Looks around, but doesn't see much.

17:02, Today: Osgood rolled 17 using 3d6.  PER 14.
Not sure what a crit fail does in this situation
