Ishmael curses loudly but suppreses his anger and tries to wiggle through the opening he has created promising vengeance against the Jacks and their deranged trapping methods.Last edited by Monodominant; 2011-05-22 at 05:35 PM.

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Bloodied and with some tears on his clothes and with a foul mood Ishmael continues down the passageway. He stops for a moment to check the other two traps he found and out of spite he tries to disarm them just to annoy whoever will eventually have to fix them again.
Satisfied whether he managed it or not he continues down the path trying to find a way to jump accross the first pit without impaling himself to death.
First he tries to use his rope and grapnel to make it catch accross and use it so that he can crawl on it and pass accross. If that doesnt seem doable he will indeed try to jump.
Spoiler
That was nice gift for surviving :D
Also do I get XP for the two traps I found (pressure plate and magical) since I managed to bypass them or do I only get if I disarm them or activate them?
I will try to disarm them anyway out of spite as mentioned so here goes nothing:
Pressure plate (1d20+15)[17]
Magical (1d20+15)[34]
And then it depends, if I can use rope and grapnel to pass over the trap with the poison spikes thats good. Otherwise would I be able to climb down and move through the spears and use the rope to climb up or are the spears far to many to fit through?
If neither of these is possible I have to jump... the DC is 10 for 10 feet long jump which is still not nice with my jump of 3 :D

Re: AvB - Ishmael

Oh interesting! I shall claim my revenge then!!!
Heh, j/k no revenge plans here, the current character actually likes the matter-of-fact type that Hagan is... cheaper magical items... yes please!
Perhaps at some point we can join in a mission... so far Ishmael is not the killer I had thought him as inittially... though this is about to change if I make it alive to that bastard that sent me down the traps...

Re: AvB - Ishmael
You disable the magical trap, but not the pressure plate. Neither did you set it off.
Spoiler250 xp for the one you did disable. Bypassing the trap entirely specifically doesn't earn you a reward.
Without the room to make a proper running leap (there's no room to go five feet up as you go ten feet across), the dc is doubled.
The rope and grapnel seems possible, provided you can secure it.

Re: AvB - Ishmael

I give one more try on the pressure plate first of all
(1d20+15)[33]
Then for the rope:
Would a take 10 work on this? And would it be enough?
With a take 10 I wound end up at 19.
In case take 10 is not doable or 19 not enough here goes:
(1d20+9)[14]

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Spoiler
heh those traps cost me two potions but they rewarded me with XP at least :)
Ishmael tests the rope carefully and thoroughly to make sure there is no chance he ends up on the trap and then tries to cross.
Spoiler
Can I swing and climb or do I have to "balance" on it?

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Spoiler
Well... I guess its a dangerous part to try and be heroic...
I will use the rope and kind of "hang" from it... you know like in movies where the cool guy balances and walks through the tight rope while the lame kid just puts his feet around it and pushes himself accross slowly and weakly...
I still think it will need a check, I just hope the DC is lesser :)
In general I believe I have a very low climb skill (since its STR based) probably something like 4-5 points max... but on balance I have 6 from dex +2 from silk rope and +2 from tumble so a total of +10 which may beat any basic DC check...
So what DCs am I looking at?

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Spoiler
Heh okay
Taking 10 then for a total of 20 then... I can even walk on a rope with that much... I think... so grabbing for sweet life on it may be easier!
Ishmael is no fool. He wraps himself with the rope making a basic noose around his waist like a belt so that if he falls he doesnt die instantly impaled and poisoned.
As this makes his fear go away somehow he starts moving across the rope with careful and slow and deliberate pushes a few feet at a time.AvB has come and gone. Its spirit still lives on in the few active threads...

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Ishmael unhooks the rope and takes it with him as he sighs in relief for having managed this. The Jacks are a more serious threat than he had imagined and if the man lied about the traps he could have just as well lied about everything else.
He returns to the room, the cold calculating style having returned. He drags the man in the corridor and by the pit with the poisoned spiked and slaps him around trying to make him regain consiousness.
"I am displeased sir. Not only because I gave you the chance to survive but because I trusted you. I am unhappy with myself even more than I am with you." he said and paused to let it sink it.
"I am stepping over my usual boundaries and give you a last chance. Tell me what more lies have you told me and I shall leave you here to live though I will send the guard after you. Lie once again and the pit that you wanted me to die in shall be your fate. And know one thing, I survived the death passage your masters created... I am powerful enough to ensure the poison kills you slowly and painfully" he said and looked the man straight in the eyes.AvB has come and gone. Its spirit still lives on in the few active threads...

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Spoiler
Man I really wanna throw him to the spikes but I just cant do it...
Ishmael spits at the man and punches him squarely in the face one last painful time but makes sure he doesnt fall in the pit as he falls unconsious yet again.
He grumbles to himself about how his association with the Tiefling has made him soft and ineffective and turns back to the main room carefully in case more lies were told and someone has come for the thug.
Carefully and with precision he moves the carpet away and searches for traps and secret passages.
Spoiler
If there is no obvious trap door take 20 on search for 24.
Regardless, a take 20 for traps at the trap door for a total of 25 (forgot I have trap sense).

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Ishmael carefully opens the trapdoor from the other way around so that he wont be immidiatetly visible from the opening and only after a few seconds of silence does he look down.
If there seems to be no danger he goes down the ladder or stairs very carefully and methodically and once at the bottom melds with the shadows again.
He continues down this path taking care for any obvious traps for now depending on how long and big this path is. He also uses the Hat to take the appearance of the thug just in case.
Spoiler
Hide: (1d20+39)[44]

Re: AvB - Ishmael
It is a rather narrow passage, unlit, but definitely longer than your 60 ft. darkvision can perceive.

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Spoilerdon't forget that you lost over an hour in the false passage.
you didn't search him for any, and none were visible on his person.
About 300 yards farther in, the passageway ends at an iron door.Much thanks to Ceika for the poketar!

Re: AvB - Ishmael
Spoiler
I know! I lost 67 + 16 = 83 minutes actually...
I am hoping that the fact I started just before dawn is buying some time... plus you know... if his orders were "in the morning come to report" there is no exact time!
I did search the guy I think... did he have any keys?
Ishmael carefully approaches the door and checks it for traps and to see if its locked and what type of lock it has.
Spoiler
Take 20 on search for traps for a total of 25.
Here is probably where I find that the door is barred from inside...

Re: AvB - Ishmael
double-checked. You were right. You did search him.
He had 3 torches on his person. However, your darkvision is effective to a longer distance and doesn't ruin your concealment.Much thanks to Ceika for the poketar!

Re: AvB - Ishmael

Yes. Rolled a few posts ago I think. I assume I can search while hidden since movement is no problem for Skulks.
Ishmael takes a look at the door and tries to listen if there is anything or anyone behind it and if nothing is heard he tries to open the lock after checking it for any traps.
Spoiler
For traps take 20 for a total of 25.
Listen take 20 for ... er... 16

Re: AvB - Ishmael
You do not hear anything worth noting, however, when you begin to fiddle with the lock, a voice on the other side says, "Look, just because you're a thief and can sneak up on the door, that doesn't mean you get to pick the lock on the door. Whoever you are, stop skulking and come let me see you so I can let you in. If you're a new thief looking to get into the Jacks, make your case quick."
