Under the stress of the acid, a couple of the stone statues begin to break down (#1 and #5). Malfunctioning, instead of spraying acid at you, they instead break apart and explode outward in a splash of acidic stone debris! Galad manages to get out of the danger zone just in time.Tech: Nobody in the close burst 3 of those two statues. They will no longer get to attack you, but that area (noted on map) is now a hazardous, difficult terrain of acid-soaked rubble. Will cost two movement to pass through one of those squares (and may incur acid damage)!
The dwarf, Vondal, remembers his swimming training and swims with proficiency to the bottom of the acid pool. Quickly grabbing the key and bone scroll case, he begins his upward ascent.Tech: 10 points acid damage, down to 14 hit points (bloodied). But, you have the key and scroll! You are still in the pool, will need another full round to get to the top (with good athletics rolls).
OOC: No other ill-wills befall you this round. I'll get updated map and vitals before end of day today. Then, I'm off on vacation! Due date for this post isn't until June 1, Noon CST.

08 Galad
== Start of Round 5
22 Finding
21 Tharl
16 Lohmi
16 Acid-Spraying Statues (3)
After hearing what Finding had to say, Lohmi steps away from the statue he was by and moves over to the statue that was now safe. He moves over by the pool to help the dwarf back onto dry land.
ReplyDeleteOOC: Tech Moving to I8.
Seeing an opportunity to get to a safe spot in the chamber, Ambrose crosses over to stand next to Lohmi, taking a cleansing breath as he does so.
ReplyDeleteTech: Move to H8, taking 5 acid damage for passing through the acid rubble zone. Using Second Wind, hp are now at 24.
Joryn carefully moves forward and regards the larger statue at the end of the hallway, carefully darting his head left and right to check what is taking place around him.
ReplyDeleteTech:
Move Action: move to W7.
Perception +3, Religion +6, History +6
Standard Action: Total Defense.
Galad examines the rock as he offers it up to Finding.
ReplyDelete[Tech:
standard - Perception check +11
minor - Religion check +4]
Tharl moves forward more cautiously now that he is out of danger from the status in the previous chamber. Moving to flank the statue opposite Joryn, he too examines it closely.
ReplyDeleteTech: Move to W6, Perception +10, Dungeoneering +5, Arcana +2.

ReplyDeleteFinding takes the stone from Galad. "How curious!" she exclaims, holding it up to her eye and squinting. "I'll have a further look at it myself in a moment, but first I want to disable that last statue and have a look at it before it explodes." She gestures towards the statue in the north east corner. Crossing the room, carefully lifting her tail as she steps across the acid rivulet, she calls back to Galad, "Tell me as I work."
ReplyDeleteTech:
Move to statue 4 (I'm on my iPhone, sorry, and can't make out the map reference).
disable acid spray (thievery +8 if still required).
examine pedestal (perception +10)
