OOC:
ok GNW, let's back up a little and ignore that push. Your initial roll was 47, with a bonus of 2, making 27. Based on that you can drop 7 luck for a pass, which is likely what you would have done, so I'm happy with that.

OOC:
Not too worried about round order as everyone is posting at different times, as long as you are all going before the NPC, we're good.
OOC:
As Arthur wants to run on round 2 though, he will be spotted, unless trying to Stealth it. Given that he's lighting a candle, first, there'll be no bonus die if he wants to go that route. Also note it'll be this round to get to and through the hole then another to get to the entrance.

"I am not being sure about this sir, it is most difficult to work with just lighted candle and..." Dardan pauses running his hands over the slab and side creases and glances at RJH. "and, I am being very nervous. I...never mind..."

Dardan goes back to his task
OOC:
Dardan has Mech Repair 65%, and he has 31 Luck left, so here goes.
OOC:
Phew! He made it easily.
"Here! Here is where it is going," he whispers to RJH, slapping a spot on the slab where there is groove running diagonally out towards the side. There is enough space to in the groove to tightly pack the single dynamite stick, and line the wick down to towards the ground.

Lord Lyttelton nodded in approval, inwardly glad he had hired himself a competent engineer for this expedition. "We must give the others every opportunity to reach our position before blowing the door. No one would survive a structural collapse, and I will not be wholly responsible for their deaths." Richard whispered back.

OOC:
OK, as Arthur was first in order, the candle was lit, so Alistair forfeits his bonus die and therefore failed his Stealth. I'm also ruling Arthur has slipped away before the creature is in Alistair's view, so just a loss of 2 Sanity.
Keeping the Candle as covered as he can, letting enough light to see his way, Arthur slips out of the small chamber and through the antechamber toward the hole.
OOC:
Does he look back to see the thing? Either way, make a Sanity roll, Arthur

OOC:
With regards to the dynamite, Richard and Dardan need to be more than 9 yards (27 feet) away to avoid damage from the blast, so that's 2 squares from the hole into the antechamber (where Arthur is about to arrive.

Dardan is confident that his placement will not cause a complete cave-in as it shouldn't destroy the supporting walls. It will also take two more rounds to achieve safely.

"Sir, you must leave from here," Dardan points to a spot further down the corridor, towards the end wall. "Go quickly. You are getting behind slight wall curve. I will fix things."

Dardan then goes back to work placing the dynamite, and laying the fuse. As he works he thinks.

The others. I must get the others out of the main chamber and thru the tunnel. I cannot risk it collapsing with them trapped inside. But...what of the noise... he briefly pauses in his work. I must face it, if it saves their lives. I will finish and then go back for them.
OOC:
Dardan will spend the next 2 rounds getting everything ready

I wouldn't, but Arthur would definitely look back at what is making the noises!

As Arthur slips behind the rock where Christopher crouches, he sees the thing up close as it turns in the direction of the noise Alistair is making trying to hide.

Arthur suppresses a scream at the horrific sight!

Arthur scrambles away and toward the hole, clambering through into the corridor.

OOC:
Combat!
When your opponent attempts to strike, you have a choice to either riposte with your Fighting Brawl skill or Dodge. A successful dodge with avoid all damage but for a riposte if your success is better than your opponent, you can do damage to it yourself. You cannot Push rolls in combat but you can use Luck if you want to.

OOC:
For everyone unable to see what's going on, you can hear animal like growling and snarling coming from the Annex north of the main chamber.
Apr 17, 2023 12:36 am
At the sudden sounds Dardan stops and looks around, back along the corridor.

How much time do I have left? Maybe I am already too late. he thinks to himself. He quickly turns back to his work and carries on, knowing he has no choice.

OOC:
for context, I am last in play order, just ahead of the creature.
Baz rises up in horror as he sees the intruder lunge at Alistair. With his wits intact he puts a hand to his blade on his hip but thinks better of it. This thing ain't no workers and this creature has made a home here.

Baz makes a hasty retreat to the main chamber and calls out, "It's not the workers! Its a creature, a wolf or man, or goddammit it all its both!!" In the darkness and shadows Baz looks to head into the room the creature came from. Sweet Jesus, tell me it got a brood in there and tell me it has a way outta here!

"It's gone after Alistair!, What are we doing here!"

Would Christopher have seen or be close enough to the creature at this point? Wondering if it’ll have past me with Arthur briefly hiding behind the same rock.
Apr 17, 2023 5:47 am
OOC:
Christopher is hidden between the annex entrance and the corridor so it turned before reaching you. Right now it’s about six feet from you, around the corner but unless you planned to look, you haven’t seen it up close.

OOC:
Holding fire on Baz's move, now we're in combat I think we'll stick to Dex order.. He'll need a dodge roll to get past the Abomination, once its attack is done. Let's see Alistair's reaction first.

Baz -1 Sanity.
