Between The Spaces We Know (ooc and questions Vlll)

[rredmond]

Think some sort of flame barrier might be helpful, to get us (and Brevos) the hells out of here.
And dangit for not having any oil.

[Scott308]

Ingrid has a flask of oil.

[rredmond]

As a thief I should have oil. I think this is the third or fourth time I’ve kicked myself for not having it. Ugh!
Rudolf has oil envy. His penance will be to collect oil from folks as they run out.

[ravenn4544]

Mouser has oil he can use

[SocraticLawyer]

Urdur spilled some oil when he missed the giant spider with his last flask. So the ground by the spider might already be good to go.

Wait- who has the key so we can lock the door behind us? That will help slow the dead a bit longer.

Bo removed it from the door to the Gallery of Horrors: viewtopic.php?p=468666#p468666
Then Ingrid used it to open the last devil doors: viewtopic.php?p=470666#p470666
You guys wouldn't leave it behind in the door, to be locked in.
It's on Ingrid's person.

[rredmond]

I think Brevos has to man the organ. It runs out of juice it seems and has to be re-pressed to continue the sound.

[OGRE MAGE]

Well, the rock should be good for one last blow, at least. Maybe?

[rredmond]

Good point. Heck as long as it lasts long enough for us to lock the door!

[Urson]

True 'nuff!

[Inferno]

With a quick look to see if they can shut the stonegate portal, a lever or anything they missed last time. "Is there any way to shut this thing, or block it up to keep those terrors inside?"

Hi Ron,
The only levers the heroes saw near the Stonegate were here.

...And two levers project from the wall in the southwest corner.

None dared pull them.

[rredmond]

Oh yeah. Forgot about them. Rudolf ain’t going back there!
Thanks.

[Scott308]

Too bad Ingrid doesn't have another Earthquake spell.

[OGRE MAGE]

That scroll was behind the secret panel, the one operated by the levers we didn’t try.

Does Urdur know the sound well enough to replicate it via Audible Glamer?

[Inferno]

Does Urdur know the sound well enough to replicate it via Audible Glamer?

It's possible.

But the challenge is the volume of the spell. It won't be loud enough to be heard by the thousands of undead across the immense burial grounds. Like the dead in the lichway, they are roaring, laughing, shrieking at a volume that will drown out the spell's sound for the vast majority of undead.

(The spell is as loud as eight men. The undead are as loud as thousands of men. Likewise, even if Jerome can emulate the sound with the human voice, he is as loud as one man.)

And while casting, Urdur can only move 1".

[OGRE MAGE]

Good ideas though!

I’d like to drop some frozen lightning down on that entrance or on the bridge once we leave, but I don’t think we have time to cast it now.

Can we assume that going “cross country” right here is not an option? If we run, is it possible that we can make the trail back down the mountain before the hoard will reach us?

Im guessing not, but just want to look at every option.

[Inferno]

If we run, is it possible that we can make the trail back down the mountain before the hoard will reach us?

You think so. If you run, you believe you can reach the sled and the top of the stairs before the horde reach you.

Re: "cross country": From what you witnessed during your ascent, it doesn't seem possible to completely descend the mountain anywhere but the stone stair.

[rredmond]

I forget the dimensions of this sled?? Can we pull Bo, and/or any other spellcasters, on it? So we can pull them, while they do the spellcrafty stuff, but don't have to stop or lag behind?
