Shadow and Illusion (ooc and questions ll)

[Inferno]

Nice. I'm jealous. Which parks are you headed towards? Enjoy!

Thanks. We visited about a dozen national parks between the Rockies and the Pacific coast. It was awe inspiring.

"Try closing the door if you can! There were enough bones in that room to create ten thousand skeletons!"

It's been a long time but Mako has already closed the door once, but these creatures have thumbs and open it afterward. We will need to spike the door closed or use a hold portal spell.

I forget (because it's been a while!): can a PC with a spear attack from the second rank?

[Inferno]

No, sir.

[OGRE MAGE]

Can any of us see into the room that the skeletons keep coming out of?

I am wondering if all of the bones in there are animating, or if there might be an end to this barrage eventually.

No, it's pitch black in there.
(Sorry for the late reply!)

[Inferno]

Fyi, Zhym is out of the game. I'll NPC Arthfael a while.

Once Kiri, Loche and Xorzen post, I can move this along.
Thanks!

Posted! Sorry for the delay...

[Inferno]

Thanks!

[Inferno]

Just moving this here:

OOC: do we have a time that the enlarge spell will end and send the floor tilting again? If it's a while still, i can end it i assume?

It ends right after this coming round.

Fyi, spells that don't require active concentration can't be automatically dismissed by their caster.
In PHB p. 47, the spell description for 'Dispel Magic' talks about using that spell in order to dispel your own magic. Unless there's a contradictory passage elsewhere, I'll play this BtB.

[Inferno]

Sorry, wordoftheoracle. It's been 4 days. I'll NPC Loche and move this along. Summer slowdown be damned!

[SocraticLawyer]

I'm confused, guys. Is the plan to roll the boulder to the door? I don't think we have the time and/or manpower to get it there before the skeletons break through.

Or am I missing something? I probably am....

[ChubbyPixie]

Zahra and Kiri and Soruk, three incredibly, nay, mythically strong warriors pushing a boulder over an oncoming horde of skeletons? IT CAN’T FAIL! Er... IT MIGHT WORK!

Well, I love the visual.

[OGRE MAGE]

Best plan I've heard so far.

I guess we would all need to go back to retrieve the boulder though, yes? With those of us not pushing, staying behind it? Otherwise the skeletons would simply follow the other group?

[Inferno]

5 out of 8 players back Mako's plan. So that's a consensus to proceed.

[Inferno]

Amethu ponders what treasures will remain undiscovered treasures with the obstacle in place.

OOC: the 'secret' door along the tilting trap - is that room we haven't entered or just the trigger that set the trap off?

Yes. When you pressed the door in an inch, it triggered the floor trap.

[Inferno]

"That.......was AWESOME!"

The masked monk returns to the tilting hallway and places one of the crushed bones onto the floor there, hoping to learn just how sensitive the pivot point really is. He still wonders if the door could be accessed without needing to walk along the trapped floor.

Second that. It was incredible.

The door could be accessed without walking on the balance floor by climbing the walls.

[Inferno]

Sorry, oracle. It's been three days. I'll NPC Loche to move things forward.

Once again, we have a consensus on a plan, so I'll move it along using the standard Marching Order to configure the advance.
Thanks everyone. Have a great weekend.

[Inferno]

Sorry, Raven. It's been four days. Got to keep movin' on.

[OGRE MAGE]

So, what is the modifier on the wandering monster roll once two fools start singing as loud as they can?
