Although I agree with ewan on our knowledge.
heh, shite roll.

But this may be a good opportunity for Ken's guy to show off his supernatural monster hunter lore.

Or discuss his inordinate fondness for tent pegs. :azalin:

So, is Gnorric hoisted ahead? Who is doing the hoisting? It requires a strength (athletics) check with DC 11.
I would suggest deciding on 3-4 code signals for the bell beforehand. Like "Danger", "everything OK" etc.

I am going with the exact set of signals you suggested in that post.

And for the hoisting-- how about Vorj, if he is game? GNORRIC will suggest that/ ask him.

Could you do so IC also? I know a couple of FoS members that have shown interest to read how the adventure unfolds so I would prefer if everything "necessary" was in the IC thread for that reason.

Taken care of. :wink:

Posted Gnorric's action.

In case I am not online, my intent is this:

He tells the party exactly what he saw. If he can determine where the light was coming from in that room, he will make sure to mention that.

This dumb waiter goes up TWO floors, yes?

If so, next stop may be that other floor.

Or did the DM mean that it goes up one and DOWN one? Cellar?

First, I managed to make a passably creepy servant room sketch online; it was hard to find one as impersonable as the one Gnorric saw.
I edited the post you saw Ewan.


Second: It goes two floors UP. From outside, the house seemed to have more than 2 floors. Three floors and an attic to be exact. The light in that room was coming from the window on the right side of the room.

Do you want to go 2 floors up?

Yes, after making a report to the others. Brief look, then right back down to ground level.

Have we searced for secret doors all 3 walls of the room with no door? If no Van will search the other walls and if he will not find anything he will try to break them again. If the hammer he has isn't good enough he will ask Vorj to do it with his axe when he has finished helping Gnorric.

You cannot break through masonry with an axe... at least not that way. A -real- hammer, not a tinkering tool, could help.

Ewan, PM incoming. But let's not move further IC before Steve and Kintire catch up.

Kimber isn't proposing to take any action until either Gnorric's reconnaissance is completed or or she detects action at the stairs.

After failing to find a way to break the wall or a secret door Van goes beside Vorj, he trusts him but he want's to be there in case something goes wrong and he needs to interfere to save Gnorric.

What did Gnorric see at the 3rd floor?

Assuming it's Gnorric the one you bring down.
