AVB - Silvanus

[planswalker]

TechnOkami or dm only. Cheaters will be persecuted.

When you arrive, the farm is in disarray. Someone or something has wrecked a good portion of the farm. No one seems to be present.

[TechnOkami]

Sylvanus calls out, "Hello?"

[planswalker]

None answer.

[TechnOkami]

Sylvanas looks at what remains of the farm.

Spoiler

Show

Are there any discernible buildings, like a barn or a silo left, or is everything razed and flattened?

[planswalker]

The house, barn, and silo are still structurally sound, but signs of a fight are present and there is cosmetic damage to all of it.

[TechnOkami]

Sylvanas will enter the house first to check for survivors.

(whoops, absolutely forgot about my animal companion. He will circle the house.)

[planswalker]

He finds no survivors, but neither does he find corpses. It appears that two people stumbled out of here and headed towards town, and many people headed towards the farmer's field.

[TechnOkami]

Sylvanus takes note of this, and heads out of the house, walking towards the barn. The dire bat starts circling the barn.

[planswalker]

The barn seems to have within it farm animals and feed. And a pitchfork that has been well-used.

[TechnOkami]

And lastly, Sylvanus checks the silo, the bat changing his trajectory accordingly.

[planswalker]

The silo seems to be about one-third full of wheat kernels.

[TechnOkami]

After checking the last building, Sylvanus will call his animal companion down, sit on top of it, and take flight for an over-head view of the area, specifically for people and anything resembling ruins in the immediate vicinity.

[planswalker]

You find an open door in the middle of the field set into a depression in the ground. You notice a hand closing it as you approach.

[TechnOkami]

Sylvanus runs up, "Wait!"

[planswalker]

If the person heard you, he gives no indication.

You hear a lock slide into place just as you touch ground.

[TechnOkami]

His doubts are high, but he will try it anyways. Sylvanas knocks on the door, "Hello?"

[planswalker]

No response.

Perhaps checking the door thoroughly might reveal a clue.

Could I use a craft woodwork check to pick something up?

[planswalker]

Spoiler

yes you may.

[TechnOkami]

Sylvanus inspects the details and intricacies of the wooden doors.

Craft Woodwork: (1d20+12)[22]

[planswalker]

You notice that though the door is locked, likely there is supposed to be a means of opening it. There is a script in sylvan along the bottom of the door.

[TechnOkami]

Sylvanus will read the first and the last words and those words only, covering up the rest of the phrase with his hands.

[planswalker]

"If....

door."

It seems that the message is exactly 27 words long.

[TechnOkami]

...Sylvanas puts his little worry aside and reads it in its entirety.

'cause nothing will go wrong... no really...

[planswalker]

"If you wish to enter my halls, beware! Intruders who wish to plunder my many and vast riches, I have many death awaiting you beyond this door!" Upon having read the next to last word, explosive runes go off and blast you for (6d6)[18] damage.

On the bright side, though, there is now no longer a locked door in your way. Just a half-charred piece of rubbish.

....I knew that was set to explode... *curses* I'll be making another craft check to heal myself a little.

Craft Check: (1d20+12)[16]

Oh joy, only one point.

Sylvanas will be thrown back a little by the fact that something just exploded in his face. He ponders casting a spell on himself, then realizes "I forgot to buy myself potions of repair in town... and proceeds to facepalm himself. He will hop onto his animal companion and fly back to the city gates, hop off, and find an item vendor of sorts so he may purchase a few.

[planswalker]

He finds such an item vendor.

[TechnOkami]

Sylvanus walks up to the vendor and asks, "Do you have any Potions of Repair, by chance?"

Spoiler

Show

I think that's the right potion...

[planswalker]

Spoiler

we don't have to rp this out if you don't want. Just declare that you buy x potions of repair [insert injury level] damage and be done with it.

unless, of course, you'd rather rp buying potions of repair than start eh dungeon crawl sooner.

"I sure do. How many of what potency do you want?"

[TechnOkami]

Ok then, how much for 5 cure light and 5 cure moderate equivalents?
