Descending the Temple Depths (OOC)

Rolls
Repositioning: 7 = partial succes
Attack: 6 = miss. Does anything bad happen? Probably loss of balance and stumbling. Considering the 7 on moving to a better spot.
Damage: N/A

I figured if the fight comes to Rook he might be forced off of the switch, which would be bad. So Albert is trying to help keep something on the switch.
It might be kinda funny if Rook manages to slip from underneath Albert's foot, causing Albert to become the one stuck on the trap switch. Not sure if that's something that could be possible without a (dangerous) roll.

The most awesome thing would be somehow getting the skeleton into the trap without us getting hurt. But I think the chances of that happening are slim to none.

Can we get some ideas of the distances? Like how big is the room, how far away from the fight is Rook? In my mind things were close enough to Rook to quickly become a problem for him. That's why I decided to have Albert defend him.

I'm committing!!

Crazy!! You should be committed. :)

I am loath to take away the success part of the repositioning due to a later miss. Let's see what the others are doing and work it into the bigger picture?

Now that you are a little more focused, maybe give us a description of attacking the skeleton and since Roald moved to give you space, there is no need for the same gymnastics to get an unhindered attack.

Are you still wanting to attack or would you want to try aid Roald with his 'glowing' attack that you encouraged? There is no official Aid mechanic, so you would have to deal with how to do that in the fiction.

Yep. just don't press down any harder. :)
Ha! Yeah. That can happen. It would not even require a roll from Rook given the setup. :)
Agreed. On both counts.

That seems right. It is within easy sling range and maybe a few large strides to get into melee.

Albert We could probably use a roll for your 'scan' for more movement. I assume you are still also paying attention to the passage(s) in, like you were before the action started? If so, this can be a general awareness roll (with attached Awareness Skill). If yous focus has narrowed, let us know.

Is that +wis roll?
I think Albert's mostly focused on the immediate surroundings and visible bones. So, a bit more narrowed, I'd say.

Good for me.

Could be, probably. Or, if you can justify it in the fiction, whatever seems most appropriate.

Added the roll to my last post

...a roll of 10, it turns out. :)

We can assume that, if things turn bad there --or as a result of the other's rolls-- Albert will be Aware of it in time to... shout a warning, or something?

That works for me. Or maybe get a sort of 'surprise round' on new targets? I'm flexible.

A surprise round might be a bit much. This was just a Success (at no cost), not a Success with extra (12+), after all.

@sunnyVoid: Are you happy with the outcome from your Lucky 7-9? I keep feeling it was a bit small. The success is that you know a bit more about the trap and that you know that there is danger if not acted upon, but nothing bad happened. The cost is that you know about incoming badness.

Do you think this deserves a little bit more about the (likely) type of trap? Maybe Dirk suspects that 'the drow' prefer complex traps where something happens elsewhere and that the people clustered around the pressure plate are not in greater danger than the rest of the group?

I want Deoring to continue to hold the skeleton off by swinging his sword at it, while Roald and perhaps the captain approach it from either side. If he can connect and do some damage, great, but I’m picturing this as more of a defensive move. Aaaah there’s a living skeleton coming toward me! Swing, swing, swing, hack, hack, hack!

Cool. Depending on how you describe it --and what exactly you want to achieve-- this might well be a +CON roll, or even a mental stat if you can bring strategy into play (dubious straight out of a panic:).

Do you want to keep it down on the ground to make the others' attacks 'easier/safer'? You might realise that this is why it has taken so long to get up? (Then you can pretend like you 'meant to do that'.)
