Chandan

The old monk swooshes his red cloak for effect and tries to look villainous, squinting with one eye and glaring wide-eyed with the other.

"At least someone is home." He says, "I was beginning to think King Grol had abandoned his castle!!"

He stayed silent and let the others play our their charade.

13 or 10 depending on disadvantage due to armor or not.

[ooc: 1) I have your stealth rolls. 2) I need some diplomacy or rolls. With the archers in the tower well protected behind the arrow slits, intimidate won't work.]

Jaliera

She freezes when she hears a voice call out behind her, then hears Kriv. If anyone can assume the mantle of command and bluff the situation, it would be Kriv.

She considers the way forward. Does it seem likely that if she creeps forward she may get in behind those at the arrow slits?

OOC: Neil caught my error. The rolls should actually have been "deception" rolls, not "persuasion". That means that Kriv rolled a 7 not a 9. Since those two were the only ones to try and talk, their two rolls are contested by the guard's insight rolls.

Guard insight (wisdom)
Neptune rolled 1d20-1,1d20-1,1d20-1,1d20-1 and got 3, 15, 7, 2

It's a "group" effort for it and you win the contest ... barely.


DM

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever youz say."

The guards stop talking and it seems like they went back to whatever your arrival interfered with. The arrow tips disappear from the arrow slits. They seem to be allowing you to pass, but care so little that they've forgotten about you already.

Chandan

He swaps a glance with Kriv and then hurries quickly through the gate.

For a moment Chandan thinks he hears a fast, fleshy slapping noise emanating from behind the loophole. The guards are clearly preoccupied....

He moves ... carefully ... stealthily ... to a position where he can continue to cover Kriv and Chandan as the move to enter.

Kriv

The apathy of the guards was an unexpected bonus. He met Chandan's look, inclined his head slightly, and proceeded to move into the castle as if he owned the place, to keep up appearances.

Ryssa


Surprised at the ease in which they were obtaining access, the cleric followed Bern, trying to look casual but ready to draw and nock an arrow if it seemed necessary.

Davroar

He is grateful for the guards disinterest in their group. Mumbling a quite apology to the group, he takes a quick look to find that the castle's archers have disappeared back inside. Davroar will be glad to get out of the open and inside the castle walls.

Doors stand closed to the north and south, with a crumbling mound of rubble partially obscuring the southern hall. To the east, a broad corridor ends in two more doors leading south and east. The corridor is cluttered with dusty rubble and fallen plaster from a partial collapse of the ceiling overhead.

OOC: You can move your tokens on Roll20.

[[ There is still an extra Bern hanging out there <g> ]]

<Bern>

He moved cautiously through the door way and took up a position, bow ready, to cover the others.

Davroar

Moving inside he looks up at the ceiling to see if there is any holes for any of the archers on the upper floor to monitor the corridors. As to which door to take, his choice would be either of the two doors straight ahead of them as it would lead deeper into the castle and possibly a stairway down to the dungeons where he guesses Gundren would be held.

[ooc: updated Davroar's position]

Leading the way in, she takes stock of what she sees and moves to the left by the first door. She will listen and check the door whilst the others assemble.

Luminmorn

He followed. As the entered, he slipped his shield into place, still using the red cloak (if he was given one) to mostly cover his bared weapons and armor. Eventually the ruse would not matter, but for now he would play along as the human Chandan suggested.

Chandan

Looking around the red-cloaked band, he shudders at the memory of the Redbrands and their villainy. And here they are, about to invade another dungeon. What horrors, what tragedies, what crimes and calamities will they uncover in Cragmaw Castle?

Chandan pats Davroar on the back as he passes.

"You not worry, Davroar. You do good! Alert guards at last minute, put them on backfoot. Work well!" He whispers ernestly.

OOC: I still need Ryssa to move her token but I'll proceed for now. I would appreciate it if Davroar provides me with an active perception roll since you were looking at the ceiling.

Davroar

Chandan's pat on the back almost makes him jump as he looks around the place.

Davroar Perception roll for ceiling
Dugan rolled 1d20+4 and got 23

Davroar doesn't find archer holes, but he does notice something else. The dusty plaster and rubble in front of the door leading east into the heart of the castle conceals a copper tripwire connected to linchpins hidden in the ruined ceiling. Anyone moving that way will trigger the trap which will likely cause a cave-in of wooden beams and heavy stones.
