DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Fantasy SKT: The Storm King's Thunder 3H - Second night in Yartar

Davroar (as giant spider)

He does not believe what he heard is a going to be a trap. Lady Atalia said she brought others here, and feels that the faint call for help is legitimate. He does not tap his back leg, and will start moving forward again.

[Sorry Nep, Davroar provides an Insight roll to someone else, or Dugan makes a roll for Davroar?]

[ooc: Dugan needs to make an insight roll for Davroar.]

[ooc: failed Insight ...

Jaliera

Assuming no other exits or points of interest in the room, Jaliera will recall Whisper and then very quietly quietly relate what she had seen through Whisper's eyes.

<Bern>

His attention is directed towards making sure that nothing is 'sneaking' up on them ... ahead or behind.

Kriv

Quietly, indicating the control room,

“Make sure this room is clear, see if we can figure out what can be done, and what killed that man, and how recently.”

Arus

"Hazardous situation ahead." He warns the rest of the party, sliding his sword from its sheath.

Kriv has asked them to move up and secure the control room, so that's what Arus intends to do. He doesn't need light to do it.

<Bern>

He turns at Arus' 'warning'. While focusinf more of his attention forward, where his friends are, he continues to check behind from time to time.

(OOC - Well if no one else will, Zhu will use Perception to look for any sort of trap and then enter the room to look around. Sindar could provide her with a Bardic Inspiration die to use on a skill check. Note that Sindar is much better suited for exploring and these kinds of things as his Perception and other Skills are higher than most anyone else due to his Bard abilities.)

OOC: Yes. I'll give you a perception roll for him but not much else. He won't enter the room unless others do so. It's unfair to do otherwise.

Sindar

The bard moves up, to the threshold of the control chamber, opens his palm to let light spill out from the enchanted coin he has, and looks around. "It looks empty here. It's like the rest of the place, I assume, the walls and floors are wet. There's a skeleton, there's some sort of control mechanism near the desk, like Jaliera said there was. I see four wheels and four levers."

<Bern>

As the others move up to check out the room, he closes the gap a bit between him and the group.

Kriv

Heading south into the room, the Dragonborn took in the scene.

"Hmm. It would be unusual in the extreme for someone in a position of authority or control down here to go missing unreported. The skeleton seems all there, but we are in a sewer with all the probability of scavengers. So, what killed him, and what do these controls do? It might be wise to understand them."

<Bern>

While not able to see what Kriv was describing, he did have a thought. "It seems unlikely that 'scavengers' ... rats and the like ... would have left a skeleton so 'intact' while they were 'feasting'", he offered.

Davroar

He will spend a moment to wipe down a small section on the wall to get to the bare rock so that he can securely attach his web to it. It seems that the weak voice is not too far away from his position so he will move forward slowly and silently as possible while spinning out his web for his comrades to follow his progress.

Jaliera

She will move just into the corridor to the control room so she can hear what is being said but send Whisper ahead to watch over Davroar/spider so they don't lose touch.

DM
Davroar moves up, trying to get a footing. Much as the spider tries to scrape the wall with it's spindly legs, to fasten the webbing, the druid knows that it's a difficult task. Still, he patiently scrapes and is able to attach some webbing, but it holds on precariously. He sees a natural cave with pools of fetid water, filled with excrement and muck. The voice come from what seems to be a narrow passage in the north-west of the small cavern.

In the control room, Arus sees no immediate threats and so he moves over to the skeleton and to look more closely at it, to see if it is a threat. It is naked and whatever flesh remains on the bones is gooey. Zhu is nearby and sees a bag on the table. Kriv is near the controls and sees that the four handwheels and four levers have half-rotten labels and color-coded handles, which are probably quite obvious to a professional, but he's not a sewer professional.

Sindar stands just inside the doorway with Jaliera in the corridor behind him and Bern remaining in the sewer. Jaliera, now blind on her own as she peers out through Whisper's eyes, capable of seeing in the absolute darkness. Bern stands guard in the rear. He finds that he needs to use his coin for light but realizes that he cannot shoot an arrow without light and that would require three hands.

Through Whisper's eyes, Jaliera sees the what the druid sees. There's a large pool surrounded by a slick walkway. Davraor is moving up the walkway to the west. She can see that he's approaching a natural cave-like area has puddles of murky water, muck and waste.


OOC: I did my best to place you all. You'll need to pull out some skills if you want any more information. Whatever skill you try, please provide me with your rolls. Since it's tough to see character labels, aside from Davroar and Whisper, the rest of you are situated like this:

Code

       Bern
     Jaliera
      Sindar
Kriv    Zhu    Arus   

Zhu

Having stepped into the room, she spots a bag sitting on the table. Leaving the body and the levers to the others to check she examines the bag, opening it if she sees nothing suspicious about it.
