"Ahh Travis! Let's see if your memory fairs better," presses Durek. "Have we explored all ways ad doors through and beyond the catacombs and determined all those ways as either fully explored, impassable or as yet beyond our abilitties?"

"There's nothing else on this level" Travis confirmed "beyond the catacombs there maybe many ways".

"Thanks, Tavis. That's good to know." ackowledges Durek. "Not sure quite what the extent of 'level' is but if you're saying the catacombs are explored, then let's establish what exits to other places lay beyond them. What's wrong in that?"

"The catacombs are downstairs. Up here we have explored everything besides this sealed door" Travis explained.

"Well, are we busting it open?" Pock looked up at the door, grimacing.

"Sure. You want to go that way, Travis, that's just fine," answers Durek, beards bobbing with a nod. "You lead on and we'll follow you."

[Who wishes to open the barred door, and describe how]

Glad that the door discussion appeared to have been concluded, Vanomir stood back and prepared himself for action. This time he prepared his longbow, nocking an arrow.

In reply to Vanomir (msg # 34):

"Will you boys stop bugging around an' open the damn door? Travis, you gonna open it? If you're scared of the thing step back and I'll open it!!" Amalrik barks.

Travis stepped back and gave Dwarghar room to hammer the door open.

Pock notched an arrow in his own bow, falling in at Vanomir's side.

Paxton just stood by warily.  He was strong, but not so strong as to think he could force the door.  He had gifts from his gods, but none that would unbar the way.  So he just was ready to back the others as best he could.

Dwarghar spits on his hands rubs them together and picks up the hammer. He chooses a spot that should break any bar or lock, winds up and

11:18, Today: Dwarghar Stoneblood rolled 17 using 1d20+1.  Swing away

The rotten wood smashes away easily. Now you can more clearly see the ancient door defaced with a crude drawing in charcoal of a black skull.

Right
Says the trap maker as he examines the stone and the door.

Can anyone help see if there are surprises before I open this?


12:26, Today: Dwarghar Stoneblood rolled 4 using 1d6.  Traps

Pock looked on in fascination, knowing he could be of little help in that situation, but also wanting to see what the deal really was with this door.

In reply to Dwarghar Stoneblood (msg # 41):

"Fine. So who's up next? Travis?" urges Amalrik, keen to get back on the move.

If Dwarghar finds no traps and the thief is gone he will go ahead and open the door or continue hitting, whatever is needed

When the door had been cleared Travis nodded to Amalrik "aye let me have a look" Travis put away his bow and drew his dagger "step back" he warned the others.

With his dagger Travis checked the edges of the door and along the walls for any signs of traps or triggers.

OOC 2 in 6 chance of success of finding traps.

In reply to Travis (msg # 45):

Amalrik gives a nod to Travis as he goes to the front to do the tricky bit. She moves back a bit in case he doesn't.

[Rolled secretly]

Travis can find no traps.

After a thorough examination Travis sheathed his dagger and stepped back "no sign of anything on the door" he announced and drew his bow in preparation for when someone opened the door.

"Here, let thwe woman open the door for the men," says Amalrik wiith a chuckle. "Maybe city living makes you weak." She moves up and pushes the door, half sheltered by the door frame.

Leaning against the wall with a bemused expression, Paxton folded his arms for a moment as the burly barbarian threw her might against the door.

"Maybe," he smiled.  "But I've got a healing spell ready if you throw out your back."
