Unspeakable Oaths (ooc and questions ll)

Of course he would. But Telkis is better armored than Pelias, has more HP, and having the gnome in front lets Grothnak attack from behind him (I think). Plus, having Pelias third in line maximizes coverage of his protection aura.

What he said.

[Inferno]

Yes. But fumbles will result in a chance to hit Telkis, rather than a random roll on the Fumble chart.

[ChubbyPixie]

He can't be hit. Too nimble. And so very tiny.

[Zhym]

Grothnak is okay with that tradeoff. If small warrior doesn't want to get hit, small warrior should not get in way.

[ChubbyPixie]

This is bound to end in tears. Tears over a bifurcated gnome.

[Inferno]

Is the trapdoor open or closed?

[DadsAngry]

Hoom just closed it in my last post.

[Inferno]

Great.

• Hoom Feethos:
  OCC: Is there any locking/barring devices on this side of the trap door? Is there a metal ring on the bottom side of the trap door in which could be tied to the ladder with rope to prevent it from opening from above?

No locking device. There is an iron ring, identical to the one set into the other side of the trapdoor.

FYI's:
1) The ladder is just leaning against the wall. It's not secure.
2) Hoom knows the trapdoor was hidden under a rug in Bertram Beswill's bedroom.
3) There is another door into this chamber, as per the map posted here.
Thanks.

On vacation with less Internet access than expected. Pls NPC Pelias as necessary.

Thanks!

[Inferno]

Thanks for the heads up.

With Grothnak and Telkis outnumbering Pelias, the new marching orders are below, and also in A Final Accounting (dm adventure log).
Let me know if anyone wants to make a change. Thanks!

Hey, guys. I've been trying to get to these forums, but I've been crushed at work this week. Will try to post tomorrow am, but if you need to move it along, please NPC Telkis as necessary.

[Inferno]

Bo remembers their last trip in here. He looks over to see if the chests that once held the equipment of his allies when they were imprisoned here are still present.

They are.

[OGRE MAGE]

Cool.

I will wait for her reply as to who she is first then.

Thanks!

Long Bo's lantern will eliminate the combat and movement restrictions I mentioned in the DM Notes spoiler.

Ingrid Esthof, cleric
Ingrid nods to the Mouser, than steps forward, holding up her holy symbol, the tryskelion. The silver medallion starts to glow...
"Unholy soulless minions of darkness, in the name of Trithereon, I banish thee!"

Fulci, please roll 1d20 to Turn Undead and link it to a post. You want to roll high.
Please also roll 1d12 in case you are successful, to show how many undead are affected. Thanks.

Also: I require line of sight between undead creatures and the holy symbol of a turning cleric. So either:

• a) The ladder can get Ingrid above this crowded room.
  or
  b) Pelias fights alongside Telkis (with the combat effects described in the DM Notes of this post) so that Ingrid can attempt to Turn Undead from the second rank.

As AleBelly/Pelias is on vacation, the choice is yours, Fulci/Ingrid.

I think Ingrid leaves the ladder free (so that Moogieye could escape), and she turns undead from the second rank. Does that put any restrictions on line of sight?

The roll (I will add it to my in-game post as well):
Turn undead: [1d20] = 16, [1d12] = 10

Nope. That'll solve it.
Thanks.

Hope Telkis doesn't mess up Fulci's turn attempt by trying to push the door closed. Just can't see him letting those things in willingly... he's brave, not dumb...
