Act 2 Scene 5: "Cavern of the Crown of Souls" (Game Thread)

[thawizkid]

Adran will explore a little down the hallway, opposite from the one that the group entered the room. He will check for anyone coming or unusual markings on the walls. However, he won't venture out of eyesight of the group.....

[Chris1234]

Thinking that she can't really help the muscly men with the weapon Jerry notices Adran move ahead of the folks clustered around the part-buried sword. She nudges Merrick and says quietly, "Shall we? Just in case trouble finds him?" as she moves to follow Adran down the hallway.

(If Merrick is reluctant to follow Adran, she stays put.)

[Jenara]

"Karl, there are not many that can make that climb, Pyros is.. injured, I could try, thank Paladine I am not wearing a skirt. Pytor? Can you get me up there? If I fail, we will have to use Adrans web idea, but that feels like a waste." She didnt want to say it, the effort to get a single blade was more than they could afford, BUT the Knight would fight better with his own blade, thus there was a point.

"Elsa, you should check his leg, there must be something we can do, he won't say but.. Just help him." She sqeeuzes Elsa's shoulder and smiles at Pytor.

Adran moves to the passage between where the others stand and finds the main entrance. The area outside the wide cave mouth stands bright in contrast to the shaded cave. The evil runes etched all over the walls give the chamber an oppressive feeling. An unexplored passage leads out of the main entrance and farther into darkness.
Merrick nods, and he and Jerry move with Adran to the far side of the area with the sword.


Adrestia watches the Kender with some trepidation. Should we... perhaps just give pulling it free another try with the rope from the ground? I'm sure at least three of us could manage with it fastened like that. Pytor and I can help. she offers.

Elsa frowns about the leg, I've.. heard about something like that... I don't think there is anything I can do... Maybe if I were stronger... there are ways but they take much more powerful magic.

[Chris1234]

Now that the pressure of getting everyone 'mended' is over, Jerry realises that she's still hurt. Thinking of Pyros's leg she mutters, "At least, mended so far as is possible for us." By way of explanation to Merrick she says, "Just going to fix this," and points at her damaged area.

======
CLW [1d8] = 5 Yippee! Not a 1 !!

[Jerrard]

"That would make sense, thank you."

[1d100] = 83 Again, no dice.

[Nocturno]

Pyros mopes around for a minute or 2 while the others organize.

When they look like they will start pulling, he snaps out of it, then goets to helping secure hands into the rope for maximum effort!

"YOU GOT THIS CREW. PUUUUUULLLLL!"

Wobbling in his excitement he'll spin around on his good leg and steady himself with his hoopak.

[TristenC]

The three heave mightily on the rope, muscles standing out like corded iron. The blade begins to shift a little in its place, sliding out a couple of inches before stopping. C'moooon one more! Adrestia calls through gritted teeth.

====
Karl bend/lift chance 13, Pytor 25, Adrestia 13 => 51
Target number is 51%,

Jerry casts Cure Light Wounds on herself for
[1d8] = 5 hps
Jerry is at Full Health!

[Jerrard]

[1d100] = 78

[Nocturno]

Pyros will spin around his Hoopak, line up beside them and try to use it as a lever under the hilt to pry while the large ones pull.

"RRRRRAAAAAAARRRRRGH" Letting out a growl befitting a Dragon.

[TristenC]

===
lol, add 10% for the Kender lever

[Jerrard]

[1d100] = 50

Karl grunts in a very unknightlike way as he strains to pull the blade.

[TristenC]

Groaning through gritted teeth, the gypsy siblings and the knight pull mightily on the rope as Pyros levers up agaisy the cross-guard with his staff. An almost otherworldly screeeEEEEE of metal grinding stone pierces the cavern; reverberatong and rebounding from the irregular walls like the cacophony of a chorus of banshees.

The sword pulls free, and Sir Karl finds it none-the-worse for wear aside from a perfectly straight gouge down the center of the flat on both sides. Inspecting it, it seems to not have compromised the sword's integrity at its primary function.

Lying on the ground, now free of the sword, lies the braided thorny bracelet...

[Nocturno]

"Oh, that is fascinating. How did that get on there?" Knowing better than to touch thorny things, Pyros has heard too many stories of poison or sleeping spells put on people who prick their finger.

[Jerrard]

"It is free? Truly?" He asks, taking the blade in his sword hand, testing it for balance, the silvered blade in his other, "Everyone here heard that, we should most likely be moving on. I thank you all."
