Rook: When you talk of 'flashing blade', do you draw your dagger?

If so, how do you react when you notice that it is glowing with divine light?
I had not planned on it, but I could if you think it would be more interesting. I'd have to think on a good way to write up him deciding to do it.

I think Rook would be hesitant to use his dagger against these creatures, they have long reach and no susceptibility to bleeding, so not good odds for a knife fight. He could throw it once, but then its gone. So I think he's unlikely to pull it except in the most dire of circumstances.

As for the skeletons coming up the hallway, is there a door on that hallway?

Nope. I was just asking. His weapon has been glowing since the bottom of the stairs, but each opportunity to discover that has been met with some reason he has not drawn it. It is cool addition to the story: Eventually he will draw it and discover that he could have been lighting up skeletons all along. :)

When that happens, you are in for a treat. :)

Only the two doorways that were guarded had doors. The three passages 'coming into' the antechamber do not (though that is still mostly assumption that the two that you did not enter by are the same as the one you did).

It might be possible to construct some crude barrier or blockage (from moss and fungus and maybe pulled up flagstones?), but that will not last long. If you do it well, it may be long enough to finish your cleansing, though that is doubtful.

Do I have consent to do this from Albert / TheGenerator?
Of course :)

Thank you! I didn’t want to assume any action of Albert’s.

I'm slowly turning this party into a cult, aren't I? 😅

The captain said the perfect stuff! Thanks, GM :)

It does seem that way.

Makes sense given the situation, but everyone is free to reject it. If not now, they possibly later when emotions calm down.

Rook doesn't mind an occasional collaboration with your god, but he's definitely not joining a cult. Raynor can pay up just like everyone else

Potentially valid point. :)
Rezart says:
(in RP)... lit a second torch, and laid it in front of the doorway, where they'd have to cross over it. Then he quickly backed away. Better to deal with the scraps of the angry dead than the whole ones.
Good plan. There is no evidence that they have enough thinking power to avoid fire --or even know what fire is, down here-- so they might well blow themselves up.

I don't see this being a action that could 'fail', maybe roll the Die of Fate to see how well it works?

There are three tunnels, which are you booby-trapping? We can assume that Albert's light show --and possible offscreen communication-- gives us the ability to judge, roughly, when they will get here, or, at least, in which order.

I put it in front of the tunnel we came from, since I know that one has explosive mushrooms in it, and I haven't actually seen the others

I added a Die of Fate, though it wasn't a great roll.

Fortunately it was just to see 'how well it goes', so a 2 out of 6 is not then end of the world.

Albert: Roll it. You know the drill on damage.
Apr 24, 2022 9:17 pm
Done. Just below average rolls. Beats a miss ;)

'ndeed.

Gonna wait for the others before seeing how it goes.

Similar rolls for Deoring.

Very similar, though the glowing damage is higher, and that one counts for more.

Maybe a fresh infusion of Raynor helps more? Unlikely.

@vagueGM what effect did Albert and Deoring have on the skeleton?
Apr 26, 2022 1:15 am
Albert: Roll the dice for one-liner... erm... maybe first roll for attack and damage, though, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Apr 26, 2022 2:24 am
Sorry I meant Roald when I wrote Rook in my post yesterday.
Apr 26, 2022 2:37 am
I’ll have Deoring wait to see how much damage Albert inflicts and to hear his one liner, before having him decide to either stay and help Albert, Roald and the Captain or to move over to the skeletons that Rook previously blew up.

Maybe some of us go there and some of us go help Rook in the doorway.
