Good roll! And yeah it wasn't a take 20 situation; Taking 20 means that you try something a lot of times, screwing it up several times, until it's done perfectly. Stuff like Search, where it doesn't matter if you knock over the lamps or chairs, you can take 20 for. Sticking your hands over a blade trap and trying to discern it's location.. not a good plan.
Yeah, normally for trap finding you can't take 20. It's kind of a grey area though if you already know/suspect that there is a trap there (especially if you supposedly know how not to trigger it). There's nothing in the rules that I can find that says you'll definitely trigger the trap if you roll low enough, but it seems like something that would probably happen in most situations if you didn't know what you were looking for.
But you'd be fine, just the trap would be like "well someone went across, that must be the guards who just entered, but now someone else is crossing and those are escapees! spike spike spike"
You raise a good point. Shouldn't one more person cross then, and then the goblin or another test? Also we could push the button from my side, because it will think people are entering rather than leaving. Does that make sense?
We just have to keep Tharin alive because I get him killed Nic will be mad at me.
Hopefully someone can join me soon because if I get attacked on this side I'm screwed.
Should we be letting Sam do most of the talking since he's the one who had a successful intimidate check, or is the goblin just intimidated in general so it'll respond well to all of us?
Lol I was trying to post but I was getting the 'forum backup' page for hours. Just realized that the forum backup page is a different URL that I was refreshing.
Maybe we should stick together and make the goblin tell us about any traps instead of having to do a search check like every 5 feet if we're going to explore. Let's just decide here, explore or leave?
For interest, this is a fairly accurate visual representation of Whiskey, minus a few minor details. I tried to use this as my avatar but it isn't the right size, so here it is.
He's checking out the other passage right now, he moves pretty fast though so he'll probably be back soon to chat with Valette about what's down there.
