[Gameplay] Part 1: The Lottery & Tomb of Akhentepi

Bernard looks to deduce how it was intended to function and how it might best be moved, but is unfamiliar with this particular design.

The stone wheel against the south wall is 10 feet in diameter and 6 inches wide, and weighs almost 5,700 pounds. The wheel can be rolled to either side along its track. Moving the wheel requires a total Strength score of 28; from the north, up to four characters can add their Strength scores together to move the wheel. From the south, the wheel’s edges can’t be reached for leverage. From the south, moving the wheel still requires a total Strength score of 28, but only two characters can attempt to do so at one time. Pitons hammered into the wheel can act as handles, allowing more characters to apply their Strength scores to moving the wheel. Alternatively, the wheel can be broken or knocked free of its tracks. The wheel is far too heavy to roll back into a closed position by itself, but pitons or other similar tools can wedge it into either an open or closed position.

I'm assuming Bernard is passing this analysis to us

It seems that after we open the crypt we will need to leave it opened

'Come now Jaware. You should know by now I am no lady.' Khadi gives a small chuckle before placing the light spell on her holy symbol.

'I had been expecting fancy traps and hordes of undead, yet who would have thought the most effect way to stop tomb... Explorers... Was a load of really heavy objects? Did anyone bring pitons?

"We should have discussed supplies before we began, it is not to late to acquire the tools we seem to need before we go any further. I brought my sword and a bow, plus my rope. We need tools to open this portal, and something to assure that it stays open while we are inside."

I would hate to be locked in here, who knows what we might find inside.

Using a dagger or handaxe could be used to jam the wheel if you manage to move it aside. Probably.

A translucent scorpion wanders into the tomb and darts toward Esmae. Despite its sneakinesd, all of you see it come in.

Initiative please. Each you echo beat scorpies init, go ahead and act in any order. Initiative order between players will not be kept strict in order to speed play.

So named for their eerie, translucent carapaces, ghost scorpions are nocturnal desert hunters. A ghost scorpion’s body is 3 feet long with a 3-foot long tail, and it weighs 45 pounds.

Gethean draws his sword and steps right to the front, as he swings at the scorpion.

Relieved to see Gethean interposed between the creature and himself, Bernard looks to help out by targetting the creature with a Ray of Frost.

OOC:

Oops, for some reason did not read that as roll initiative - adding in.

'So who's ready for round...thaaat's too big.' Khadi spins as she heres the scuttling, expressing her concern for the scorpions size even as she reach's for her crossbow. Point and shoot, that was all there was to it right? Except clearly not as her shot goes very wide.

The four of first five attacks hit, doing a total of 10 damage. It's still up. and it is Esmae's attack.

If Esmae doesn't post by tonight, I'll act for them (a 48 hour rule).
