There are a few smokey torches burning along the walls. The benches and tables are pushed out of the way against the walls, revealing a floor of blackish stone, much worn by the tread of countless feet.
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 4]
BOB Bixi is looking around and does not sense anyone else in this room except your group
N'laea: There is a door here.
N'laea goes to open it.
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 6]
N'laea looking inside
BOB a short hallway
BOB Opening on the right
N'laea carefully walks in to explore the short hallway
Branwyn: Call out if there is trouble or if we should follow
N'laea: There is another opening here if someone else wants to explore as well.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Or if you see ghosts!
N'laea: Craigh, are you good with traps?
The whole place will appear to be unused, but there will be a faint glint of light from the far wall (western). Was that the gleam of light reflected from a gem?
Craigh: Craigh waggles his hand. So, so.
N'laea: gently pulls out sword and asks, Is there a gem nearby?
Craigh: I can certainly try.
BOB At first glance the whole place will appear to be unused, but there will be a faint glint of light from the far wall (western). Was that the gleam of light reflected from a gem? Entering to see what the glitter was will reveal a pile of coffers, one tipped so as to spill its contents
Branwyn: I really don't think there will be many if any traps here.
Craigh: Craigh moves forward to take a look.
N'laea: There is a glimmer of potential gems here. You do not think they'd protect them?
BOB but to N'laea there are no real gems
Craigh: [SKILL] Find/Remove Traps [PERCENT:Find/Remove Traps] (vs. Target 35) [SUCCESS by 30] [d100 = 5]
N'laea: Hmm, you see that, Craigh? Looks like a coffer full of gems, but the swords says they are not.
N'laea: An illusion?
N'laea: Or trap?
Talwin: Cocks head
Talwin: Do you want me to check it out?
Bixi Fizzlebang: keeps looking around where she is, to make sure nothing is coming in from anywhere else
Craigh: Not too many people are that careless with their treasure.
N'laea: I would not think so, either.
N'laea: You simple have to... disbelieve if it is an illusion, yes?
Craigh: For an illusion, yes, if you are able to disbelieve it strongly enough. Not as easy as it sounds.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ooooh, an illusion?
Bixi Fizzlebang: creeps forward a little
N'laea: Perhaps? It looks like gems, but they are not.
Craigh: Craigh is checking the room for traps.
Raelynn goes to hold the door open
BOB to the upper right (NE) there are bars, a portcullis that is down, and the same to the SE there is a set of bars
There are tightly spaced thick bars blocking a section of the south wall. You can hear some movement on the other side of the bars but cannot make out what it is.
N'laea: quietly towards Craigh, I hear something
N'laea: Is Indigo near you? He is friendly than I if it's another server.
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Hide in Shadows [PERCENT:Ranger: Hide in Shadows] (vs. Target 59) [FAILURE by 20] [d100 = 79]
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Move Silently [PERCENT:Ranger: Move Silently] (vs. Target 67) [SUCCESS by 38] [d100 = 29]
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 11]
You can see a large room beyond with 4 manticores flying around. They attack!
Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo... I... think they need you?
BOB SO right now in front of N'laea is a set of bars, a portcullis, then 20 feet then another set of bars and on the other side are the Manticores
Manticore 4: [CAST] Spike Volley [at N'laea]
Attack [6] ->[ATTACK (R)] [at N'laea] [Hit-AC: 7 vs. 5 ] [AC: 7 ] [MISS]
BOB and so N'laea sees a volley of tail spikes come at her from the first manticore
BOB All of the spikes miss
N'laea: Manticore. We should save this room for last.
N'laea casually walking past Craigh
BOB closes the secret door behind her
N'laea: Manticore. I suggest we save that room for last.
N'laea: It is likely where the chain is hidden. There were false gems as well.
N'laea: But we should check the other rooms to make sure.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Were they real?
N'laea shrugs
N'laea: One attempted to hit me with spikes. They were behind barriers.
N'laea: I believe it was... four of them? Hard to tell behind the gate and the bars.
Branwyn: Four manticores
N'laea: At least.
N'laea: Or we can fight them now. It is up to you all, but I did not wish to fight them alone.
N'laea: No offense, Craigh.
Branwyn: Caged. So even more unhappy than they would usually be
Talwin: Anyone have pikes?
Bixi Fizzlebang: What do they eat? Can we throw some poisoned food in there for them?
Talwin: So....anyone have any loooooooong pikes?
N'laea: Based on our last encounter, they'll eat whatever moves.
Craigh: None taken.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Our last encounter with a manticore is what got us into THIS mess in the first place. I'd rather avoid them if we can.
Branwyn: So should we check around the main area before we have this major battle?
N'laea: Then we can check the other rooms to see if the chain is there. If we do not find it, we can go back to the manticores.
N'laea nods towards Branwyn
N'laea: I think it best.
Indigo: So you think the manticore stole the elf dress and jumped into our plane?
N'laea: Always possible, or the giants did and placed it here.
Indigo: That would be a smart manticore? Or just a weird thing to do.
Craigh: I'm not an expert on manticores.
Indigo: Do you think giants can control manticores?
N'laea: The one did talk to us. Perhaps they have an alliance.
Indigo: That manticore we saw before didn't seem like she would take orders
Indigo: Hmmm
N'laea: No. She was given her chance. I do not know for these.
Indigo: They probably don't like being locked up in a dungeon in any case
Craigh: I vote 'No' to releasing them.
Indigo: raises his hand in support
N'laea: Well, if they do not attack again, we can always try to reason with them. But explore the rest, first?
Indigo: Sure
Indigo: There's a hallway and a closed door to my right
Indigo: calls out
BOB You should see the double wide corridor heading south, the door to the south, the door to the east, another to the east and an open corridor to the north
Indigo: Closed door in front of me
Bixi Fizzlebang: Looks like a hallway with no doors this way? Possibly a room? I can't see very far into it from here
N'laea: You want to check yours first?
Bixi Fizzlebang: also calling out
Indigo: goes to the closed door to his right
Indigo: tries to open the door in the corner
N'laea waiting and watching Indigo
Indigo: It's not locked!
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 14]
