[Myrna: Int d20=19(-1)=18] Myrna realizes that the "narrow opening measuring about 6" wide and 7' tall" is a sliding door of some kind that has gotten stuck between open and closed. With some effort, the door might be able to slide open even more. Voorak takes one of his iron spikes ...

[are the gaps/passages between the bulky objects very narrow, or could a person walk down them easily? Also, does the pillar fill or block this passage?] There is generally at least a 5' gap between them. A person can walk between them easily. Kurr and Myrna move down the right passage. Myrna will ...

Honest John and Red Robert take down another two of the warriors! Squire Jon and Ragged Rob miss... Unfortunately, Squire John is thrown off balance by the bat-like swing of his pitchfork and falls to his hands and knees. Before he can recover, a jagged bronze sword beheads him, blood spurting onto ...

fireinthedust, your characters cower in the hallway, frozen with fear (sorry, but we had to move on).

The rest of you face down the 4 ancient warriors for another exchange of blows...

fireinthedust, ? (last)

Voorak reaches out cautiously with his off-hand to touch the pillar. It is smooth and slightly cooler than room temperature. You notice that on one side of the pillar is a narrow opening measuring about 6" wide and 7' tall. Darkness lies beyond the gap. A small, shallow circular indentation is...

While Kurr and Myrna catch up to Voorak, Blackfeet starts to slip down the left tunnel. [Does the halfling Blackfeet's infravision reveal anything...unusual?] No, other than there is a lot of heat in this room... no living things appear under his demihuman gaze. All he sees is more humming consoles...

Like steam, but slightly acrid.

fullmentaljacket and Dr. Meat, what are your characters doing?

[Myrna; Luck d20=4 (whew! I think...] There is a clicking sound, and the pattern of lights on the bulky shape changes slightly. Nothing else happens. Voorak moves about 20' to the southwest (he thinks) between the two strange contraptions. Beyond, more flashing lights beckon from other bulky object...

Running her hand over the strange bulk, she reaches out to push one of the strangely colored round things... [... unless interrupted, of course! Init d20-1=2 just in case] Ok, give me a luck check please (roll d20, trying to get a number under her luck score). If she doesn't make it, please roll a ...

That said, any lights down either of these 'gaps'? I'm a sucker for flashing lights... Consoles along the wall both ways, about the same in terms of flashing lights. Myrna reaches out and touches the bulky shape with blinking lights to see if any of the "glowing gems" are loose. Myrna see...

"Demon Dogs! What is this place?" Voorak circles the room as much as space will allow. Wary of inhabitants, and looking for an exit. So there is one of the odd bulky shapes with blinking lights in front of you, one along the wall to your left and one along the wall to your right. There ar...

The floor is solid, there is plenty of room to spread out at the bottom, and you detect no immediate threats... although the chamber is stiflingly hot and green vapor fills the air, making it difficult to see more than 10' ahead of you. Odd, bulky shapes, many bearing a myriad of small blinking lig...

The grate pops off easily.

It's about a 5' drop into the mist-filled room.

[OOC: Squire John-damage 4, Ragged Rob 1; Sorry. Just so used to missing.] Squire John jabs another one with his pitchfork. The piercing tines are not very effective against its skeletal frame, but they do damage it. Ragged Rob's stone caroms off a rib of another one, chipping the ancient bone. Two...

LOL, anybody else want to give it a try?

STR check please. DC 5.

You scramble along the secondary tunnel for a distance of 30' before reaching its terminus. A 3' square hole covered by a mesh of shiny thin sticks of silverock* stands before you, breaking the monotony of the tunnel. Beyond this grating is a mist-filled chamber, its dimensions impossible to discer...

Judge Perky. did grump find anything in his examination of the dead heat bug? Nothing unusual or valuable. The oval bone plates on their heads are now room temperature. Cautiously approaching the light, you do see a side passage branching off the tunnel to the right and running off into the distanc...

Before you do that (and it's fine if you want to continue), I should mention that as she moves the 10' further in the tunnel, at the edge of her vision Bjorn notices up ahead that a shaft of light is pouring into the tunnel, appearing to come from an opening in the tunnel's right wall.

His knife finds a weak spot between two plates and a viscous black fluid spurts out.

The last of the creatures is dead.

fullmentaljacket wrote:seeing an opportunity grump stabs into the soft underbelly of the beast (17 on a d20) for 3 (on a d4) points of damage

Grump opens up a deep gash along the creatures abdomen. But it doesn't die just yet.

It flips over, it's bony heat plate flaring... but Grump still has the INIT...

Bjorn fails to hit anything, slumping aside as the creature rushes right at her! However, it misses badly [natural 1] and its momentum carries it up the side of the tunnel, flipping itself over. Like a turtle on its back, it flails about, unable to right itself. Grump slashes at its underside... [p...

Ok! You push past Grump and quickly catch the arachnid-like beasts, stabbing one of the remaining two dead with your flint knife!

The other lunges at you with his white hot bony head-plate and catches you on the arm for 1 HP damage.

Bjorn, since you have the INIT, give me an Agility check to see if you can successfully push past Grump as he prepares to chase the retreating bugs. You need to beat a DC of 10.
