LOST TRAILS OOC

[Wolfglide of the Fraternity]

Unfortunately, I don't have any great ideas about the dragon. If we are willing to settle on a questionable idea, we could just start digging down into the hummock.
If we can't lure it out, we may have to go in.

I am still around and checking in, but I am also still fairly busy.

Well assuming that my effort to lure it out is a failure, i think digging down from above is the best option. I doubt we will have to dig far: It will react when it realises what we're up to

If you need light that will not go away when submerged in water Alain will provide one via casting the Light spell on an object of her choice that could hang onto or hang from piece clothing like a button etc. It would last about 80 minutes .

[kintire]

useful, but how murky is the water?

[ewancummins]

Objects submerged deeper than body length are only visible if they are large, and then only as dim outlines that one could easily miss spotting.

And that's up here in the (weak) daylight, from the air looking in.

In the tunnel and below?

Wandered in any lightless crypts lately?

[kintire]

well I'm assuming I have a light spell. but I think I'm, getting out of the water and recommending digging!

[ewancummins]

She's going to dig?

It seems as if everybody is very leery of going underwater, so I will go with that approach.

Boat across, land on island, dig down.

I don't see shovels or spades on any character sheets. Unless I'm missing something, it looks as if you guys will have to do the job the hard way.

Weapons and sticks and hands, maybe.


The earth is soft, at least.

EDIT I see one spade on Rowan's sheet.

Good girl.

But it's just one, no mattocks or anything like that. So this still takes time. But Tonio is strong.

10 hours of water breathing divided among all the PCs and one NPC 'torch' bearer:

1 hour and 15 minutes each.

That surely allows for exploration of a small dungeon and possible combat, with time to swim back up.

If you want to swim, ditching armor is a good idea. If you are fine with sinking and then walking on the floor, keep it on. Faster escapes without armor, of course....

The unicorn doesn't fit and will be staying topside, almost certainly. It can protect NPCs who remain behind.


Is anyone not going in?

It seems as if Kat is saying she'll go first, sneaking in, with someone behind her with a light and some backup.

She's obviously not volunteering to face whatever is down there all alone, much less blind.

[ewancummins]

Lord Skybolt informs me his guy will go with Kat as backup.

Tonio is eager to redeem himself, it seems. Torchbearer.

Making one assumption for a player who is absent, with which I'm sure he'll agree: Sir Clive will hardly let a woman go down, along with his servant, and not go face the beast himself.

Post coming.

INITIAL ROLLS


swim, untrained, with armor penalties

LOL, Kat sinks. But she's got water breathing cast on her so she will be fine after an initial moment of instinctual fear.

Tonio, no armor swim

Little better.

I'm assuming players spread out, but the dragon isn't waiting for that.

[ewancummins]

Kat saves. Your other guys will take damage.
But the dragon also reveals itself by this attack.

You expected something but it attacked from hiding so that was the surprise round.
Normal initiative now


It will go for dropping darkness on you.
