The Unseen Servant forums

Markd acknowledges he cannot persuade the others, and he knows he has no leadership ability. That damned curse...

Ok, lets figure out how to do this. How much oil we got? and make sure we have things to prop open doors. Spikes or timber, anything. He'll look through the mess of items taken from the fallen Kellstrom.

Hmmm. I thought I replied last night.

Anyhow, this would be done "yesterday" or the night as Irving rests.

Captain Bremen
As the five adventurers sit around the campfire, Captain Bremen breaks the silence. The skeletons have likely reformed by now and the trapped-door reset. If we want to go to the room with the diamonds in it, we need to block up the skeleton door first, am I right? Some of these rocks should be heavy enough to do the job, I'd think. Then we could see that picture-show and check on the angry voices.

In the morning, Captain Bremen hoists a large stone and totes it with him to the barrow entrance.

Irving helps haul a heavy stone as well, in the hopes that it will prove sufficient to keep the skeleton door closed. "Another hit like the one the skellies got on me last time will do for me, in the shape I'm in now!" he grins.

Rusty Tincanne wrote:Wait. Which way did he skeleton door swing? Or did it slide? If it swings outward - to the hallway, we could just prop a large log against it instead - to wedge it shut. If it swings intward or slides, chalk that up to our WIS/INT scores...

Shown on the player map posted earlier - the skeleton doors swing inward.

Faced with the door, Irving frowns. "Maybe we can tie the heavy rocks to the door so it will be too heavy to open."

Bandy Sandybanks

Remembering the candelabra from the last time, Bandy leaves his candlestick put away and draws his sword, holding it with both hands.

Lets he'd back in. Time's wasting.

He moves back to the entrance. If others follow behind, he enters...

Captain Bremen follows closely, carrying his rock with him. He immediately looks to see if the hallway is as they left it - is the door to the sun room still propped open, for example? you all are bringing those animals, right? Piety has all that oil and such.

Markd plans then to go in with the others, along with the oil from Piety.

M, can you pm me the known expectation of the gift markd was given before they left.

Irving will also carry a rock, ready to drop it (or throw it) and fight if need be.

Olaf sees everyone else picking up rocks. Not wanting to be left out of the rock party, Olaf finds the biggest one he can carry and takes it with him.

Bremen, Irving, and Olaf excavate and then haul-in several large rocks, hoping they impede passage of the skeletons as they emerge from the two doors. They find, as the enter with the morning light, that the doors to the skeleton room are closed, the hallway quiet and illuminated by the glowing chandelier. The runed door to the sun-room is slid shut, but not fully closed/latched because it was impeded by the rolled tapestry. Bandy stands ready with his longsword, no one yet holds a light source. Bremen suggests someone lead the mounts in; Markd gets the oil from Piety the mule but the mounts remain hobbled and grazing outside near the campsite still.
