LOST TRAILS OOC

[ewancummins]

I can't find my list of prepared spells It's a new computer.

Ewan do you know if Raen has arcane lock prepared as a utility spell for the day? I guess it could help if he could seal the trapdoor to open only with a password.

I think he did. Let's say yes.

[alhoon]

Awesome!
Raen arcane locks the trapdoor to the basement (giving a +10 DC to break through too I think) and puts the word "Azarvanka" as a password.
He would tell anyone in the group in case they actually have to retreat in the basement. He would also instruct them to not say the password too loudly when opening the door so that enemies wouldn't hear it.

Klokulf will cast deathwatch and scan up the attic stairs. He'll sweep the trapdoor too, just in case the floor is thin enough for the spell to penetrate.
If an armed person wants to go as well, Klokulf is willing to enter the attic and scan it for life signs.

Ah, I suspect you are used to a DM who runs that spell differently than I run it.

My ruling=
Deathwatch won't detect an invisible creature or a creature hidden behind a wall, under a floor, inside a chest, etc.

VIEW CONTENT:

It works using 'the foul sight granted by powers of unlife.' It's necromancy, and not a divination spell like detect evil. The spell description does not mention any barrier penetration.

(If it could detect invisible and hidden creatures, and scan through solid barriers, it would be a pretty powerful 1st level spell.)

Is Klokulf getting down on the floor and opening the trap door a crack and peeking through the gap?

Oh, and since it has a long duration (10 minutes/level), should I assume that he casts it in the bailiff's office, looks at the fallen foes there, and then proceeds to the storeroom?

[Wolfglide of the Fraternity]

He might as well use it in the bailiff's office, and he'll peek under the trapdoor if that's all right---someone should stand by to stomp it shut, just in case.

I actually keep forgetting that deathwatch is not worded more like the death shades item from the RLDMG.

Noted.

I will update IC now.

Raen would use arcane lock probably before Klokuff could check. Still, Klokuff could use the password without problems I think.

Looks like Raen will be lifting the door while Klokulf peeks into the gap.

You can freely pass your own arcane lock without affecting it; otherwise, a door or object secured with this spell can be opened only by breaking in or with a successful dispel magic or knock spell.

[ewancummins]

Or is this a variant?

[alhoon]

It is not a variant, I was simply wrong. I thought arcane lock allowed a password. It seems I was wrong. I find it a bit strange since without a password arcane lock can only be utilized by the wizard himself but so be it.

It may be a difference between editions.

But if you are happy with it, so be it.

Merry Christmas!

And, yes, I'll wish you the same again in early January, though that should be Epiphany for me.

[Wolfglide of the Fraternity]

Klokulf will tie up the vegetable person with his rope of stone. Does it look like it is dying swiftly, or can divine intervention wait?

Other than that, merry Christmas as well!

Raen

I am applying a +2 circumstance bonus for the trap door deflecting some of this/Raen presumably dropping it the moment he realizes something strange just happened.
And nobody else will be in the area of effect, even if they were standing nearby.


0

But even with a hefty bonus, that is not a good roll.

Raen suffers 1 CON damage.

Raen loses 4 points of Constitution.

Klokulf is okay. He jerked back, sneezed, covered his face, as you like
.
Nobody else is affected and Raen can close (and thus lock) the door if he likes.
Or not. He can also leave it open.
..Actions?
Everyone can act, including Raen (though he's not feeling too well)
