Buzz Killington moved to the corner of the hallway and
peered around. Laying on the floor amongst the remains of the skeletons was
another spear. The paladin retrieved the weapon. The corridor continued to the
west lit buy more of the green glowing gems. A stout wooden beam lay across the
center of the door, barring it from opening from within. Past the door, the
passage branched to the north and continued straight.
Osric and Thayross cast Detect Magic and examined the
nearest glowing gem. Both picked up equally strong auras of evocation and
necromancy from the stone. Attempts to identify the magic only revealed that
the light was produced by an application of Continual Flame. The Necromancy
element proved elusive.
Peering down the darkened hallway, Brother Gronk was able to
see that the passage continued a way to the south before turning to the east.
The monk was also able to make out a hole in the wall where presumably a green
gem used to be housed.
Magni and Remy recovered their thrown rocks and searched for
more usable stones. Finding none, Remy began trying to break some of the larger
stones into smaller ones. This activity has yet to yield results.
What do you do now?

The bar is heavy and stout. It could be used as a weapon. Counts as a great club.
DeleteAre you attempting to remove the gem located between H2 and I2?
By corner, do you mean the intersection with the passage to the north or do you mean the corner in darkness to the south?
take club.
Deleteyes.
yes.
You can pry the gem out of the wall using either the hook or one of the spears.
Deletecarry it, but drop it if combat ensues, to grip club with both hands.
Deleteunless it fits in a pocket.
DeleteGRONK will move to C2 and peer down the corridors.

Remy moves up to where Busby is and says "let me scout ahead."
ReplyDeleteAs Gronk passes them by he shrugs his shoulders and follows Gronk. Trying to keep watch for enemies and traps.
Perception 23
Traps 28
Thayross casts Cure Light Wounds on Ursu. Rolls 5. He then begins looking around the room to see if he can find a container suitable for transporting water and/or a way to add something to the crate of rations to make it function as a backpack.
ReplyDeleteThere does not appear to be anything with which to carry water. There are no ropes or belts to fasten the crate to act like a backpack. Looks like someone will just need to lug it.
Deleteyou said we had nothing originally, do we have any clothing?
ReplyDeleteYes, you each are wearing tattered clothing. This would be a shirt and pants or shirt and skirt or a simple dress whichever fits your character. You do not have any jewelry, belts, hats or shoes.
DeleteHow heavy is the water barrel?
ReplyDeleteOver 300 LBS.
Deleteunless you dump out a lot of water...
Deletewater weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon
Deleteunless it's 'magic' water.
DeleteIt is a 40 gallon barrel. So full and counting the barrel it will weight about 340 LBS.
DeleteI pick up the rations and say. "I've got the food. One of you sword swingers grab as much of this water as you can carry."
ReplyDeleteThen I dip my hands in and drink as much as I can hold.
