Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
I thought about that, but I don't think we have any water to spare. Some of the party isn't even carrying any.Rex wrote:Nimh

Moony will stand watch while Lhainor and Nimh search the pedestal.
What about the oil we found in the cache? Wouldn't that work as well as water?

Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
It might, but oil and water aren't the same thing, and I wouldn't assume oil when I saw pitcher and bowl (I would assume libation, not annointing). Do we have something nicer than lamp oil? Or are we assuming that is something like low grade olive oil, not kerosene (you wouldn't perform an annointing with kerosene).ybn1197 wrote:Moony will stand watch while Lhainor and Nimh search the pedestal.

Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
I think water makes the most sense.
Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
I agree, I'm just trying to work with what we have on-hand. If we were to use our water, I believe we would not be able to stay another rest here.Rex wrote:I think water makes the most sense.
Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
Searching the pedestal carefully reveals no sign of catches or secret compartments. The stone bowl and the pitcher are dry, with no sign of a greasy coating that one might find on it if it was traditionally used to store oil.
Having been on the go for a while, you catch your breath, light some new torches, and plan your next move.

OK, where next? The closest areas are another bricked up area back towards the "slant SW door" where we started this time, the hallway leading to/from the "angry ghost" room (we can slip through that room into that hallway), and a hallway running south from that "to/from angry ghost" hallway.
Further away, we've got the east hallway leading from the entry mound, a north hallway from it (near the skeleton trap room near the entry mound), the north door out of the corpse room, and eastward along the east-west hallway on the south side of the giant rat room.
It's starting to sound like we need a map.

Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
A map would be good. The east hallway, back by where we came in would be good I think.
Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
A map would be nice. Coming into this Media Res I was confused as to our position to start. I'm really turned around now.
Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
Well... you can always *start* making a map... 
It was my understanding that *originally* you were planning to wing it, but things are definitely complicated enough that this isn't working so well. If you want someone to start mapping, I suppose I can maintain a map for you. You'd need a character to use both hands and be "the mapper" though...

Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
Having been placed frequently in the middle of the formation, Moony can be the mapper.

I think if we leave the current room and go to the only door in the "rubble supplies" room, we can enter a room, take a left (not the "angry ghost" room), enter the "wedge-shaped" room, take a left, then take a right (north) in the hallways back up to the "SW slant door" room. From there we can go through the "previously stuck door" room and open the door in there, or follow the hall east from the "SW slant door" room to the "giant rat" room (first door) and go through there, and in either case come to the east-west hallway that leads (west) to where we came in.
Once we get to that hallway, we can either check out the hallway north kinda in-between those two rooms (not the "skeleton trap" room), or we can head east back down past a few other doors we've already checked and see what lies further down that way.

Lhainor leads the party back to the "giant rat" room. Assuming there is no trouble there (or elsewhere along the way), he will lead them back towards the entry mound to the north hallway between the "stuck" door and the "giant rat room" door (not the "skeleton trap" room hallway, which is the very first north passage when traveling east from the "entry mound" room).

Re: Chapter 2: Back to the Barrows!
Sorry for the delay... that's a good memory!
Lhainor leads the group back through the empty corridors, which seem extremely deserted, now. Moony produces a map of their progress to help them keep things straight, though Lhainor's memory seems good.
You move north past the room with the cache, east into a little corridor, then north into the wedge shaped room that smells like a nest. West from there, into a hallway, then north through another hallway into the 30x30 room with the southwest door. Crossing this, you head through the rat room, then into the north corridor between the rat room and the "stuck door" room.
This corridor leads north 50 feet before turning right to head east. There is a door to the north at the turn. The eastern corridor continues to the end of your torchlight. You see another door in the north wall 20 feet east of the first one. There is a portcullis on the south wall of the corridor.
sorry... been trying to figure out, mechanically, how to get a map on the forum... I'll hopefully get one up eventually.
