Looking back there is a Mouth thing on the roof of the tunnel. Have we checked that out?

Rope math: 5 foot to attach to a closes good tree https://i.imgur.com/Vvw3R3J.jpeg 35 feet to doors and 20 more down.
You will need to tie together 2 ropes. No ability checks required to do that.
Anyone share second rope?
Tinkara flying all around spending next 10 minutes discovers no sign of inscriptions, doors, other controls, etc.
Zean standing next to the open doors see nothing new or of an interest: just spikes, doors with lever.

Zean wouldn't want to risk loosing his only rope(he has explorer's pack), just at begging of their exploration - in case the doors will start to close again. So he propose to hold the line while someone will go down, maybe with someone else to secure the rope - if there would be a risk of failure by him holding it alone.

what if we let it reset, let the floor rise then dont pull the lever until the outer door closes? Key from the inside
"Exactly my Big Spirited Friend, I don't want to loos the rope so soon, so maybe we will hold it together for those that want to go down?"

Where is this info? Couldn't find it.

Tinkara flies back out of the chamber and sets down to rest.

I've got nuthin'. I don't know that climbing down is going to do anything. What obvious thing are we missing here? Wait... mask!

Tinkara flies back into the tunnel to have a closer look at the skull on the door. Is it part of the door, or is it a mask?

Thanks for the picture of the lever.
Tinkara checks out the skull on top of the lever. Does it come off? Could it be used as a mask?

OOC:
I need some help here, guys. What are you all doing?
Are anyone getting down in the pit? I think if two medium sized characters are holding rope they can safely get third one down with no check. If skinny elf Vatoris try to hold it alone while giant foundling Throgin getting down... that would have a high chance of failing, wouldn't that? Please give me details.

What's about "Mouth thing", no idea what @Smiley mean by that

Narrating the only action I understand
Tinkara figure out that the skull on top of the lever is of human size and may probably fit her small head. Would putting a skull on you head count as wearing a "mask"... maybe?! Regardless skull wouldn't naturally detach the lever. Unless you use some force maybe?

Throgin will hold the rope for anyone that wants to go down.
OOC:
still think we should try and get the whole thing to reset again but with someone in the chamber (Tink?) as to try and "open from the inside"

Another slab blocks the hallway twenty feet beyond the first door. An iron lever is set into the door's surface, with a graven stone skull leering down from above.

Tinkara gives the skull a tug to see if it will come off.

Rolls

strength check - (1d20-1)

(9) - 1 = 8

Thad lends a hand to Tink!

How do you do that? Do you need me to explain the environment in more details?

Sry, my mistake.
Mar 29, 2024 8:56 am
"You need some help there Tinks?" - Zean says as loud as it is required for Tinkara to hear him on the other side of tunnel. - "Do you think it could come of the lever?"
OOC:
The roll wasn't the greatest, but maybe she is able to feel if it is possible to take out the skull from the lever without completely breaking it? With higher force?
Zean stands next to Throgin and helps him holding the rope. Doesn't have any intention to go down to the pit.
"Thorin is right. Maybe let's just wait for the floor to rise again, open the door again and some of us could wait inside to see what is happening there when the door close. Or you are willing to stay there for this 'round', Little One? But it makes - even me - quite uneasy to left you there alone. Huh, Tinks?"

OOC:
If "Mouth thing" is the skull then we just covered it
Tinkara realize that Skull is made into the lever and she has little chance to break if off with here strength.
OOC:
I made a mistake pushing you forward last time will give you all the time you want now. Please vote here if you thing you are out of ideas and want to just fast forward two hours for doors to close and for cubes to re-collected from the city and doors reopened

I want to fast forward

Two hours to moment when we reopen doors
One hour to moment when doors are closing

If you still want to descend into the pit or do anything else just post your actions. With Throgin and Zean holding the rope it will be easy (no ability check required) to both get down and then up again.

OOC:
I choose "One hour to moment when doors are closing" - depending how it will look. I.e. if the floor from the pit is rising a little faster/before than door closes and it will look relatively save - Zean will try to slip in before the door completely closes. Hoping that Tinkara will be there with him:)

If it: is door close, then pit's floor rises(unseen from our perspective): Zean will stay outside.

OOC:
Last time you only saw doors close . Never seen floor or lever move until door closed completely
Mar 29, 2024 9:32 am
OOC:
Ok, so now it is clear for me. So I changed my choice, and wait for the door to reopen and Zean goes inside the tunnel, make some tea (uncle Iroh style - if anyone know the character from Avatar) :) while waiting for the door to close again. Guarding the lever to not be pulled at all times - until the door closes again. And after that... too:)

Tinkara flies out of the tunnel to rest while we wait for the cube door to close and be re-opened. Then she will go in and wait for the cube door to close again before doing anything else.

I will stay in next time when the door closes, and then pull the lever. In the meantime, let's see if we can find anything like a mask around here.

Heyyy... I have Enlarge/Reduce. What if we just reduce the inner door, and leave the lever alone? LOL!
