Pedivere moved forward, axe out and made sure that the other half-orc was protected whilst he prepared the rope.

Bishop, do you have a second weapon other than your gun? I have a spare axe if you need it, he says motioning to one of the throwing axes at his side.

[Morbis Meh]

Bishop mourned the loss of his jack knife, lost it while at sea to one of the crewmen in a bet. As much as he lived for his grip, it was always a good idea to be prepared for more intimate encounters. "I reckon that it would be useful, much obliged." He tips his hat towards the young templar.

Pedivere smiled and nodded. Deftly he drew the axe from the looped hook on his belt, flipped it over and handed it haft first to the gunslinger.

Who'd have thought, we'd be riding on magic wolves and preparing to enter a thousand year old temple spewing some corrupting mist? If only they'd mentioned something like this in seminary, he half joked. Still he thought, better to be entering this ancient, deep and potentially dangerous temple then chasing their tails and letting innocents die back in town.

[Morbis Meh]

Bishop chortles lightly deftly gripping and flipping the small axe in his hands "Who knows, this may be a drug enduced dream cause by the mist. We could all be sleeping in the inn right now with drool dripping down our faces, it would at least be more believable then this. Though I was tempted to start a bet on how long that naive orc savage would be able to stay on the wolf. I am more than sure that one would be more fierce than any bull."

The Paladin took a hand off his axe haft and wiped his mouth and chin. Nope, dry. He grinned holding up the hand to show no sign of drool. He then looked back to the barbarian and his rope work. Hope we don't have far to climb, armour doesn't make for good spelunking atire.

[Hestraim]

Makoa stands at the edge of the well, listening to the exchange.

I will go down first and yell if I see anything.

With that, the half orc "savage" grabs onto the rope and begins to lower himself down into the temple.

Spoiler

Climb
(1d20+1)[3]

and Acrobatics if Climb goes poorly
(1d20-1)[4]

[Morbis Meh]

Bishop hears the sudden cry out which was followed promptly by an expected crash. Shaking his head and almost laughing he mutters "You kids these days and always being in a hurry. Well at least I will have a cushion down yonder if these old bones decide to go for a dive." Whistling an old tune, Bishop takes off his kerchief and wraps it around his left hand then proceeds to go over to the rope and begins to slowly climb down, making sure to take his time and arrive at the bottom safely.

Spoiler

Taking 20 on my climb check since my armor and such makes it so taking 10 is a fail due to the rope being just rope.

[Crazyfailure13]

As makoa goes over the edge of the hole and start down his hand slips and he fails to keep his hold on the rope. As he falls, he lands in a pool of deep water. the room around him is dark as he surfaces, looking around the hole in the ceiling provides enough light to tell that he is in a smallish room with 2 doors in it.

Spoiler

[ninthbit]

After his companions finish falling down the knoted rope, Vash carefully climbs down.

Pedivere looked at the rope, the half-orc who had fallen and the depth of the climb. Sighing, he started to strip his mail, then looping it around the rope, he carefully descended.

Once at the bottom, he retrieved his armour. This will go quicker if someone gives me a hand, he said whilst slipping it back on.

Spoiler

Remove armour - 1 minute
Take 10 on climb to the bottom - gives a check of 13
Put armour back on - 4 minutes, 2 minute with assistance.

[Hestraim]

Makoa helps the Brother put his armor back on.

Spoiler

I just posted in OOC that I will be gone for the weekend. DM you are welcome to play my character or someone else is. I really don't mind who.

Thankyou friend Makoa, said Pedivere. Hmmm, this doesn't look like much of a temple so far, unless it's a temple dedicated to some underground god of doors.

Pedivere moved to the door on the left and checked the gap underneath it to see if that was where the mist was coming from.

I'm sure one of you have better trained eyes for this kind of thing than I, he said to the half-elf and human.

[ninthbit]

I've been told I have a keen eye for clockwork and the like, I'll take a look.

Spoiler

Not sure if you wanted me to roll the perception and disable device rolls since they are normaly unknown to the player.

For Traps:
Perception: +7
Disable Device: +9

[Crazyfailure13]

The door appears unlocked and untrapped.

[ninthbit]

From what I can tell, the door looks fine. Vash slowly opens it and checks the other side.

Spoiler

He would have checked both doors. Then opened the one on the right.

[Crazyfailure13]

The door opens in into a dark hallway.

Spoiler

[ninthbit]

Going down (right, if from the characters perspective). Keeping an eye out for traps or other things of intrest.

[Morbis Meh]

Bishop follows behind the half elf, his hands resting on the sandlewood grip of his gun while he walks smoothly down the passage way.

Pedivere follows, greataxe in hand. Do you need light sources? I can never tell just how much the darkness or even heavy shadows effects humans and elves. Or are you ok?

[ninthbit]

I suppose it's getting a bit dark in here. Vash'iar cracks a sunrod, afixes it to his pack and continues down the corridor.

[Hestraim]

Makoa takes the back of the march. He feels that his services are of the close and personal nature, [color="DimGray"]Bishop, I believe you will be of little use at the very back in case something comes upon us from behind. And anyways I like to know that I am first out the door. HA HA![/COLOR


With that, Makoa follows the rest of the group down the hallway.

[Morbis Meh]

Bishop looks at the young half orc cooly and frowns "I am better equipped and trained to deal with enemies at range than you are pup, as for wanting to run, go ahead I won't stop you. In my experience people with shaky nerves are more of a hindrance in battle."

Pedivere sighed. Arrogance, it was never going to do anyone any good. Ever. He gripped his axe and move in after the half-elf, Vash. I am behind you Vash, lead on.

[Hestraim]

I never was very good at being funny.

[Crazyfailure13]

you walk down the long hallway, you come to an intersection, both ways have a strange smell down both halls.

Spoiler

Pedivere	Level	HP	AC	TAC	FAC	PER	Effects

Pedivere sniffed the air. Something is not right here. Pray tell it is not poison. Vash, do you make it out? He asked. Then, adding, Would you like me to hold the torch whilst you check?

Spoiler

Perception to try and identify what the smell is. (1d20+2)[11]

[Crazyfailure13]

Vash walks down the hall way to the right and as you look on you realize the to hallways lead to the same doorway.

Spoiler

sorry if the images alternate a little, im trying to do this with MSpaint

[ninthbit]

Vash'iar takes a deep sniff at the air.

Spoiler

I'm not sure what may ID the smell. Add whichever skill applies. It's a shame Vash has an 8 Wis, otherwise he would already suspect its the rot of undead on the other side of this door.

In any case... To ID the smell (1d20)[15]
Perception +6
Craft Alchemy +7
K. Arcana +6
K. Nature +2
Spellcraft +6

If he can't ID the smell:

Spoiler

he'll approach the door and work it over.
Perception to notice activity on the other side of the door: (1d20+7)[20]
Perception for traps on the door: (1d20+8)[9]
Disable Device on trap if found: (1d20+9)[19]
Disable Device on door if locked: (1d20+8)[10]

If he can ID the smell AND it's coming from beyond the door:

Spoiler

He will recommend doubling back and investigating the previously passed two areas. The first being the left turn after right door of the entrance. Then if nothing interesting, the left door of the main entrance. (use the rolls in the other doors spoiler since that door wasn't explored)

[Crazyfailure13]

Vash:

Spoiler

Vash cannot Id the smell, and he does not notice traps, the door does not appear trapped and the door easily opens if tried.

[ninthbit]

It is a peculiar smell. I can't quite figure it out, but soon enough we'll likely find the source. After Vash'iar finishes working the door, he opens it and continues on with his cautious pace.
