The goliath nods in aproval of the plan and steps foward.

[Master_Rahl22]

Thomas simply nods and enters when it's his turn.

[Falconknight06]

With the sunrod's help, you see that the cave opens into a large, cathedral like opening chamber. Neamaeli can see two paths, much smaller than the opening room, one heading towards the top of the cliff and, if the map is correct, the Forge. The other path seems to be heading deeper underground and into the cliff.

[KnightOfV]

Rook will pick up his sunrod and head towards the path that should lead to the Forge. He sticks the sunrod into the brim of his hat, somewhat comically, so he can keep his other hand free. "This way then?" he asks pointing to the path that leads up.

ZARABETH

As a fashion statement, it leaves a lot to be desired. But I applaud your ingenuity.

Zarabeth continues to hold her place in the second row, her blade ready in one hand and arcane magic waiting to be unleashed in the other.

[Demons_eye]

Lee follows along every once in a while chanting things like "Punch em, Kick em, Slug em, Hit em". He stops if the others tell him to but other wise is having a good time exploring the cave with the others.

[arkol]

Neamaeli follows Rook side-by-side keeping an eye and an ear out for anything out there.

"Lee.... be quiet. No need to alert whoever or whatever is out there, that we are here."

"Dwarves are known for jealously guarding their secrets. If the entrance to the forge is close, we had best start watching our toes for mousetraps."

Rook will reach into his pack and pull out strange looking glasses. The lenses appear to be made of crystal. He puts them over his eyes and starts methodically scanning the ground in front of him and Neamaeli for tell tale signs of pitfalls, tripwires, and other nasty traps.

[Master_Rahl22]

Thomas says, "Excellent idea, Rook. Much as it pains me to move slowly, it will do Glenda no good for us to get ourselves killed in our haste."

[Falconknight06]

As you continue up the path, you marvel at how pretty this cave is, how nature could create a place so elegant, so pristine, so....useful?

Rook interrupts the group, raising his hand and saying Why, I do believe our caution was worthwhile. So, how much do I get for being right? He then proceeds to get down on his haunches and begins to sweep dirt away from what looks like a large metal trap door.

I need 2 Disable Device Checks (or one rolled search check and one disable device check, your choice) from Rook (one to find the mechanism, one to disable it) and listen checks from everyone (I'm letting you guys roll these because it helps me keep pace with posting.)

Rook will lay down his weapon in favor of his thieves tools and start poking around on the trap mechanism. "If I could just have everyone's silence for a moment..." he says, even though no one was talking. "These things can be a little... devious."

KnightofV, the dice roller giveth and the dice roller taketh away. In another PbP game I just failed a DC 15 check when I had a +11 bonus...

[Falconknight06]

As everyone else gets quiet and begins to watch Rook work, you're amazed at how fast he finds the traps mechanism. See, no trap stands a chance against me he says, as the trap door opens beneath his feet.

ZARABETH

While Rook works on the trap door, Zarabeth stands still and listens. Rather, she tries to stand still and listen, but she gets bored easily, and starts to fidget. Shes not the most attentive person in the world.

[Falconknight06]

Rook dives away from the trap door, landing on the distracted Clyde. They collapse in a pile on the cave floor. There is now a ten foot wide pit spanning most of the hallway, an inch wide ledge on both the sides.

The pit is too deep for even the Goliath to see the bottom.

[Demons_eye]

Lee walks back a bit and starts a running jump to the other side and whistles "Wow that was nice."

First my missed Jump Listen check (damn, being on a different part of the planet then anyone else in the party sucks sometimes...)

(1d20+8)[14]

The goliath peeks down.... "Bottomless?"

Then without much effort makes a small run and jumps over the pit. Then he motions for the ones who are on the other side to throw him a rope so they can jump with a "safety net".

With a +18 to jump I think I don't have to roll...

We shoud also specify who's carrying all thos shovels and stuff.... due to my str I assume most of it is me?

[KnightOfV]

Rook will stand, and somewhat sheepishly brush himself off while muttering to himself: "Those Dwarves are tricky bastards... a fake pressure plate that triggers the real one... much more difficult than the usual kobold garbage that I could disable with only a paperclip and my eyes closed..."

He will straighten his hat, pick up his sword and after getting a good running start, leap across the pit with ease.

The usually talkative rogue will be uncharacteristically silent and sulky for a while.

Arkol, you don't have to roll if you're that skilled. As long as you are "not being threatened or distracted, you may choose to take 10" with a skill check. Which speaking of, I need a DM call, can I elect to take a ten on future disable device checks? I'm a little paranoid about the rollers now...

[Master_Rahl22]

Thomas waits until Neamaeli is ready on the other side with the rope, then wraps it around his wrist a few times before he attempts his jump. "I'm not particularly good at this, so get ready."

Jump - (1d20+3)[8]

Wow it's a good thing I did that with the rope...

Thomas leaps across the pit with a running start, but misses the edge by a good 6 inches. He slams into the side of the pit, clinging to the rope for dear life.

[Demons_eye]

Lee bends down to garb Thomas and help him up. "Next time jumper harder" He grunts.

My mod is actually 17 because of ACP. But to jump a 10ft gap with a running start (which we have I belive) you only need a 10. So even if I roll a 1 I make it. Don't even need to take 10.

On the other hand if we really needed to each one could make the jump on their own as long as their combined ACP and str mod was at least 0. You can always take your armor off if you really need too... but the rope trick is faste I belive....

Neamaeli grinds his teeth as he sees the cleric missing the jump preparing himself for the pull that is about to come. Fortunelly the giant man can easily stop the 250 something pounds the pious man ad his equipement weight and with Lee's help they can easily bring him back up.


"This is getting old Thomas.... when will you be able to cast some spell that will allow you to do this by yourself?"

then to Lee he adds:

"At least he doesn't wear a full plate like most battle priests I know..."

Yes , the taking ten rules will still apply for disable device checks, aka no threat, you can take ten

Clyde backs off a dozen feet. He starts to run at the pit and slows down just before it.

I... was not moving fast enough. Just a moment.

He backs up a bit more and then gives himself a moment to breathe. He charges towards the pit once more, but he becomes nervous and closes his eyes while flinching just before he jumps.

Clyde's jump causes everyone to collectively hold their breath, his jump looking like it will make it, , but he comes about two feet short of the other side. He is falling down, and he makes one last grab for the rope before he disappears from view and into the pit. He reaches out, his fingers brush the rope and.....
