Back to Basics OOC

[ewancummins]

The SOP above can be modoifed as needed.

I figure it will allow us to greatly speed up play. Now the DM can simply ask which areas we wish to explore (the first dungeon level, in this case) and present us with infomation in a block. He may even wish to cover several rooms in one post.

[Lord Skybolt]

This SOP* is fine by me . Does anybody else have any thing to add to this at this time ? And the current the open locks/checks for traps by Sara must be finished first before this can be employed for the rest of this level though .









SOP*=Standard Operating Procedure-PM Ewan for what this means .

[ewancummins]

Of course; I expected that we'd play through this scene/room before the SOP went into effect for the rest of the level.

It can be put on hold for actual encounters.

My character's intent-- and it seems that the party as a whole agrees with her-- is to explore the rest of this upper level of the dungeon before heading back to town. We can come back and do the lower level the next day.

I think the new SOP will help speed play. Bewteen that and more RP among the PCs, we should see a more active game.

I'm curious to learn the secret of the 'mine', and to explore more of LSB's version of Ravenloft.

Spellcraft roll = 15

Isidar is excited to figure out what was happening in this mine, but realizes the humans won't want to stay here forever and is willing to explore the second level tomorrow.

[Lord Skybolt]

With that Spellcraft roll and Isidar's Dwarven Heritage and upbringing she determines that at least this part of the caves was formed through the use of magic ala Stone Shape(PHB Page 284) or some other spells that would do the same thing more than likely .

I agree with both Ewan re the SOP and Dalorna re the resting!

[Lord Skybolt]

Sara opens the locks on chests #16 and #20 . She finds no traps on any of the locks or the chests .

[Lord Skybolt]

Sara finds no traps on any of the locks or chests .
She opens the locks on chests #22, #24, #25, and #27 .

[VAN]

Sara will take 20 to open the chests she hasn't opened.

[Lord Skybolt]

She will open all the locks when she does that . It will take 2 minutes per lock . So how ever long that takes . Please give a figure on your next OOC post .

[BigBadQDaddy]

The SOP looks good for now. Great idea BTW!

[BigBadQDaddy]

Dalorna mutters...''They delved too greedily, and too deep..."

She drops to her knees and searches the interior of each open chest.

"Why would anyone both locking an empty chest? That's odd, isn't it? Maybe there is something hidden...hmmm..."

"Keep it secret...keep it safe."

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[ewancummins]

LOL



LSB- Dalorna is searching the interior of each chest. She looks inside, taps the panels, and shifts the chests' positions. Anything hidden?
