OOC: Hello all, I am a friend of Dodd's, and Judge Perky has kindly allowed me to step in and handle fireinthedust's characters in his absence. I'll read back through al the posts to try to figure out how he was handling the various characterizations.. in the meantime, forgive me if the tone change...

Max_The_Judge wrote:OOC: Anything interesting written on these pages? Xim takes a look.

The pages are so brittle that most of them crumble to dust upon being handled. What writing you can see is written in a language that you've never seen before.

Ok. You walk out of the large mural room into the northern corridor, and after 20' you come to another room. Heaps of dust line the floor and the walls of this room. A few papers and the remnants of a book or three are scattered about as well. The room is at least 30-40' long and 40' wide. The corr...

OOC: So can somebody just list it out for me? Thx

They see nothing that immediately poses a danger in the room beyond.

Ok, marching order please!

Myrna slaps at the metal plate as she tries to steady herself. Kurr moves into the cylinder under her in case she falls. As Myrna does so, the door in front of her opens soundlessly. The room beyond the mysterious magical tube is filled with verdant plants. She can easily step out of the tube now, ...

OOC: That's the spirit!

Now, care to try for anything else in the room, or are we going North?

Sadly, the shield disappears in a puff of smoke as soon as Rob picks it up.

Cursed! A black haze briefly obscures his vision and he feels a sense of doom come over him.

His new to-hit die is a d16.

Ok, well done!

You've managed to drag the shield into the other room.

He can try. If you want him to try to extend his arm and use the pitchfork to drag the shield over, give me an Agility check.

She reaches out and... Does she touch the metal square? Push it?

What is everyone else doing? Standing outside or inside the pillar?

OOC: Hmmm... Loot room? Or trap room? Why does our Judge seem to want us to go in there? OOC: Who, me??? Small 10' X 10' chamber. Extremely deteriorated bronze spears, flimsy vertigris-covered pieces of armor and curved battered bronze swords litter the floor. A dust-covered bronze shield in nearly...

To be clear, now that you're in the room, the exit on the West wall looks more like a small side room, not a corridor (like the one to the North).

Dibbon searches around on his hands and knees the best he can, not finding anything at all, let alone something the shape of the depression on the door. Bjorn gives Willoughby a boost. Willoughby stands on top of one of the flashy-blinky-bulky objects, but can see no further than 10' ahead of him g...

Ok. Done.

OOC: Didn't we establish that these skeletons were wielding swords? Swords good enough to decapitate? Xim and the Copromancer have pretty weak weapons. I'd like to upgrade their gear if possible. OOC: I was waiting for that. Feel free! There are five ancient, curved, bronze swords lying on the floo...

The last skeleton is bashed aside by Xim's staff, and Red Robert's arrow enters its open mouth. It crumples to the floor, dropping its bronze sword. As you all struggle to catch your breath, you look around this very large room (about 25' x 30'). It is lined with simple murals that depict men dress...

Max_The_Judge wrote:OOC: How many skeletons are left and are any of them not in melee?

Only one left!

As she does so, with an unsettling whoosh she immediately starts rising up toward the ceiling of the tube at a rate of about 5' per second!

Ok, so you realize, then, that "Your incompetent blow makes you the laughingstock of the party but otherwise causes no damage."

Actually, that effort, however weak, is enough help to pry open the door, which slides into the side of the pillar. As soon as it does, a row of panels running up the inside of the pillar magically alights! The inside of the pillar is 10' in diameter, rises at least 40 or 50' above, and apart from t...

What you roll on the fumble table depends on what kind of armor you are wearing.

No armor, roll a 1d4 + reverse luck modifier (lower is better).

Ok, I send a message a few days ago to fireinthedust who didn't respond so he appears to be out of the loop for the moment. He's welcome to reengage when he has the time/interest, but in order to keep things moving forward, I suggest that each of you should take over a couple of his characters for n...

Kurr grunts: "Need... a little... help..."
