Chapter 1: finding the Tomb

Seeing Tinkara clearing the floor with her druidic magic, Zean has another idea about the darts...
OOC:
I was just thinking about stucking something in the dart's holes! :) But now I have other idea. I see it like this:

Zean casts Gust of Wind (1 minute duration) before him in the direction of ugly face and slowly walks in that direction why someone else (Throgin? ) hits the floor before them with spear/jevelin triggering the traps. All this with assumption that the strong, magical wind will redirect all the triggered darts away from us? But I don't know if it is possible/correct in 5e?

But maybe Tinks clearing the floor will be enough ? Or that will help us with triggering the plates while the strong wind will be flowing ? (advantage? )

OOC:

No Gust of Wind do not prevent ranged attacks. Note: the conceptually similar spell windwall prevents projectiles and clearly says so. If gust of wind did the same it would say so.
No druidcraft will not do the work. Harmless sensory effect, such as a puff of wind can't move the amount of sand... or at least it would take weeks to do so.
Gust of Wind is good to clean the sand in 2 turns (12 seconds)

OOC:
Wow... those spells in 5E are rigidly codified I can see. What is bad and good. For me it's strange that Gust of Wind that is supposed to prevent full grown adult to walk against it's direction or even move him/her will not be enough to blow away small darts(I would understand arrows slung from bow, but darts? )... But hay! You are the boss here! And I fully accept this:)

So ok: I'm willing to use Gust of Wind "for clearing purposes" :) here, but will like to make a nice description about it, so for now I will wait for others to see what they think about it and if they do have other ideas for our current situation?

Tinkara sees that the wind produced by her druidcraft isn't going to do the job.

Oooh, darn it! Well, it was worth a try. Any other ideas?

Vatoris summons his mage hand and pulls out a strip of cloth from his set of tools.
The hand starts helping brush away any dust or dirt left over by the gust of wind.

He carefully checks the tunnel for any other possible traps now that the dust has settled...
OOC:
Can we get an updated map?
OOC:
I have an idea but I want to see updated map 1st.

"Thanks, Zean. Now, about the little lady... Hǣlan."

A life spark flew from Ixion's lips into Tinkara, closing some of her wounds.
OOC:
Once per long rest freebie Healing Word on Tink Tink. I can cast it using a spell slot for the rest of the day.

Many thanks, Ixion. I feel much better!

The only map update is Ixion moving up. I assume Thaddeus and Vatoris still down there until I see Strength(Atheticks) ability checks rolled for them

gust of wind is not yet cast, I only red player's OOC consideration of casting it

Taking his breath after helping Ixion and seeing that he is occupied with taking care of Tinkara, Zean resigns from his idea about redirecting the darts with the power of wind and get's back to more grounded approaches.

"I'm sure it will work much better when you will be back at full strength, Tinks. For now let the power of storm that resides in me do the work for us. It high time... someone would ventilate this tunnel!"

Zean stands with his feet apart to root himself deeper in the earth. He closes his eyes while drawing his hammer from his belt. He grabs it, holding both ends. After a short while, the first sparks appear on the hammer, which in turn causes the first air flow through the tunnel. And then with each new spark, the new portion of air begins to gather, or more so concentrate in front of Zean. Making it into the spherical shape, that begins to be so dense that looking through it distort the vision. Finally, Zean exhales deeply, straight from his diaphragm, and the accumulated air hits with great force. Zean tries to ensure that the air flow falls primarily on the tunnel floor, to dust it off.

Marking of one 2nd level spell slot - yes?

I fly behind Zean so as not to get pushed around by his gust of wind.

I only see the Acrobatics roll you did get down that we agreed to take as Athletics for your safe descending. Several posts later a new rope were fixed to allow everyone climb up. Did I miss your roll after that rope fixing?

I must of missed that one! Here it is.

@Pedrop yes you need to mark one 2nd lvl spell slot used
As sand retreat further into the tunnel it reveal a perfectly plain floor - the pressure plates are not immediately visible. Only with a careful inspection of the floor those of you most used spot such things note irregularities in the floor's tile patterns, revealing the pressure plates.
OOC:
Anyone with passive perception of 15+ notice that and there are more than one PC with such PP.
Only two more pressure plates in tunnel are easy to avoid once you know their location.

After making sure everyone got up safely Thaddeus follow up everyone else. Though it is not an easy task to climb up with your Breastplate on, fighter is well trained to do so.

Suddently Thaddeus realize something and tells party that when first door closes you would all be locked and unable to move out. He volunteer to stay outside tomb and open the doors every 24 hours to check if there is anything you need.
Knowing how dangerous the city is everyone understand that there is a chance to never see Thaddeus again. But he is determined to do so.
