Descending the Temple Depths (OOC)

I really don't want Raynor opposing our chosen course of action, so maybe keep it more immediate?
6 Raynor approves, helps with the door.
4-5 Raynor takes no action, treat the 12+ as a 10+
1-3 Raynor is focused on the fight and what Albert can do, treat the dice as a 7-9.

I worry about the 7-9, since Albert is all alone facing a triple-wielding foe.

And I seem to have reverted to Blades in the Dark dice numbers, so we can adjust them to be more in your favour --you did get a 13, after all.

If Raynor tells use that this is correct action, then your situation on the other side of the door will be your best course of action --and probably more favourable. So the stakes are high on that 6.

I'm happy to do it that way.

Had another thought, though...
Since you're talking about 12+, 10+ and 7-9 results, wouldn't it be more fitting that I roll +wis for this instead of the Fate die?
My roll of 13 giving me a 'rank up' bonus on a new (related) action. I don't think that's a thing in the rules, but it's kinda what your suggestion comes down to as a 6- is not a possible result.

Could do. The danger there is that you are rolling a new action with all its associated risks. The Die of Fate is not bound by the same rules for consequences. (As you observe, shifting your previous to a 7-9 adds standard consequence as well, so we are heading into the same territory.)

What would you be rolling? Asking for Raynor's guidance? With the associated benefit if Raynor agrees, and some generic consequence if Raynor does not?

Yes, asking Raynor to show us the path to take. On a bad roll Albert would know that Raynor doesn't approve of the current plan. In what way that is shown, I'd leave up to you. That way the group can still decide to continue or change course.

As a side note, is it okay to set this as a precedent that a 13+ roll can 'upgrade' your next action.

No president, and I am not sure what the upgrade is, but go ahead and roll it.

@airshark I am game for our characters to try to open the door together, but let’s see what happens with Albert’s plea to Raynor’s first.

Very happy with the result, thanks vagueGM :)

Now to get that door open...

Is Albert the only one who sees the light coming through the door?

Hmm... Let's say, yes? It is an answer to his prayer.

If Rook can't get the lock open.
First we try the handle, then, after it breaks (it will)

Is the door made of wood? Can we hack or way inside?
Is it possible to ''unhinge'' the door? Using a lever to push it upwards and dislodge the hinges.
Any other ideas?

Given how much everything else has rotted, I don't think so. Let's say 'stone'.
Possibly, though you don't have good tools for that (you were not planning on delving into dungeons, after all).
Probably more likely than breaking it down. And possibly more easy to resecure.

You would have to tell me how. If you can convince me that you would have thought about bringing something that helps (a crowbar, maybe?) we could buy that in a flashback.
Hey! That's my line! :)

As vagueGM mentioned before, breaking down the door would mean we can't close it again once we're in. So that's a bit annoying.

If we can somehow create a flame or spark on the other side of the door (through the crack maybe?), it could cause one of those mushrooms to explode on the other side. The blast from the explosion might swing the door open.
It sounds just dangerous and stupid enough to work!

As the famous quote goes "A million-to-one chance succeeds nine times out of ten"

Your estimation of the numbers may be a bit off, but I can't argue with the rest.

It’s unclear, but something that might help? Deoring or anyone with a glowing blade could try slipping the tip of their blade between the door and the doorframe, to clear out any gunk that is possibly keeping the door stuck, or in case it’s locked by some evil spell that Raynor’s purifying fire might purge.

Make it so.
Not sure what to roll (+WIS maybe?), but it sounds interesting.

Sounds like a discworld quote.

It was :)
I'm on board with this.

We determined that Deoring was genuine in his payers, right?

Is there an "aid" mechanic to turn Deoring's 6 into a 7?

That sounds like a DEX roll?

Though INT or WIS could as easily apply. The modifiers may be the same, but the choice of Attribute does still affect the results.
