Act 2 Scene 5: "Cavern of the Crown of Souls" (Game Thread)

[TristenC]

Adran pushes on ahead as the others speculate. Jerry realizes as they follow the trail that they could be the shuffling steps of the undead... or someone extremely tired...

The end of this passage shows signs of a violent geologic shock. Minor cracks and fissures fill the walls, but there seems to be no exit from this chamber other than the obvious passage through which the party has entered. Promising paths do split off west and south, but
they quickly narrow to uselessness. From within the shadows of the cracks they catch an occasional glimpse of something that might be a cruel, sparkling eye...

[Nocturno]

Pyros definitley runs towards that sparkle as fast as he can hobble(almost wrote hobbit lol) along.

[thawizkid]

Adran will signal for everyone to be quiet for a moment and see if he can hear anything. He will also look around for any secret passages.

[Jenara]

"I have a bad feeling about this." Mira mutters, wishing the Kender were near her. "There is no way out.. apparently."

[TristenC]

Pyros rushes into one of the corners, the tap, tap, tap of his crutch echoing oddly in the irregularly shaped room of jagged walls. He has to wedge himself into the end a little to get a look. Some natural quartz crystal twinkles slightly at him, some red some clear.

Adran asks the others for silence, just as Pyros runs off, but the Kender is still soon enough. Listening intently, Adran can make out the barest whistle of a breeze. He begins to search for secrets, but fails to locate anything

[thawizkid]

As Adran listened, he told the rest of the group I can definitely hear the whistle of wind coming from the cracks in the wall ahead of us, but don't clearly see any entrance. I suggest that we give this area a good once over and see if we can find a secret passage. In the mean time, stay ready for anything..... Adran will continue his search for a secret passage with his short sword drawn....

[Nocturno]

Pyros will definitely be trying to pry some of the coloured stone out. He will also perk up at the idea of secret door.

"Wind you say!" He licks his finger and holds it up.

[Jenara]

Unable to do more, Mira stands and waits.

[TristenC]

Taking Adran's suggestion, Artanis moves around the dead end; searching the area meticulously. After several minutes, he nods. Yes, I think you're right. It seems to be coming from above... he nods towards what appears to be a thin ledge high on the cavern wall.

====
Since the chamber is narrow, it would require someone to climb up to see what secrets the ledge may hold

[Nocturno]

Forgetting his injury Pyros tosses his Hoopak aside and starts to climb!

[Jenara]

"Pyros.." Mira begins to speak, and then moves foward and grabs his hoopak, "Be careful."

[Chris1234]

Depending on how people shuffle along the tunnel Jerry stays with Merrick and tries to keep a look out in the other direction.

[thawizkid]

Adran will watch Pyro climb up to the ledge and pay keen attention to the sounds in his surroundings...

[TristenC]

The Kender begins to try to climb, but doesn't get very far at all, almost falling at one point but prevented by a quick hand form the Ranger.
The shattered nature of this wall is a little tricky, eh? Maybe your grappling hook would be a good way to start?

=====
Pyros climb [1d100] = 93
Dex check to throw it up the ledge. if it catches the "Rope and wall" bonus to climbing is 55%

[Nocturno]

Pyros whirls his rope around and lets'er rip.

Tugging on it to see if it is secured.

Wall Climbin': [1d100] = 52
