Descending the Temple Depths (OOC)

Rook set one up at the far door, but that is more blown up than blown out.

What do you want one for? We can make it happen.

Another thing - could we say Orset thought to collect some of the volatile shrooms earlier?

Orset's plan would be to shove some shroom bits in the lock, shield himself and blow it with a torch. Then if it doesn't swing open, pry it with his pickaxe.

Sure. How did he do that? Describe it.

We are trying to not damage the door so we can lock it behind ourselves. The others have also cleared all the moss out [ref]. It is just a little hard to get a grip on the door with the decayed handle.

The mushrooms are not explosive on their own. They shoot out a cloud of spores and that cloud is explosive. Kinda like how in real life you could set fire to a cloud of baking powder.
I think it would be hard (if not impossible) to concentrate such a cloud inside a lock.

Could the spores be stored inside if he knew how to collect it correctly?

It would be risky (in a few ways) that is why I asked about 'how'.

Also, we don't want to blow the door. We want to use it for protection after we go through. That is one of the risks if you do this.

Yep, sounds good to me. He's trying to be an adventurer in desperate times not conservative right now. :)

OK...

Tell us, miner, how you collected and concentrated this explosive powder, and how you deploy it. Then you will need to roll (maybe twice?) based on what you did (we will work out the rolls once we see the fiction) and we will see how it goes.

Oh, just saw your other post vague... Sorry I thought you were asking me to describe doing my plan not describe collecting the mushrooms.

Both? :)

Ok, maybe I jumped the gun a little. As per your description, since it looks like it just needs to be pried open he would do something else.

Is it ok if I take my previous post back?

In this situation, sure.

Ok sorry about that. I'll slow down a bit.. I'm still in the mind-set that people are sitting around waiting for me to act like in a live game.

- And for simplicity, I'll say he didn't try to collect the mushrooms.

Understandable. It is a learning curve.

You'll get into the swing of things pretty quickly. And before you know it, you'll be in 7 games at the same time! lol
If you change your mind, there are still plenty around us right now.

Indeed. We can always find some whether we want to or not. :)

Athletic and experienced as Orset is, I don't see this failing to get it open.

How much does Orset care about not doing damage to the door? Opening it carfully might need a roll --probably +STR-- to determine collateral damage.

Ok, yeah he will try that. I'll describe and roll in RP.
