[Time is 6:50 pm day1]

[Nocturno]

Van will go get the broken spear.

He will toss the largest chunk of it through the arch.

[TristenC]

Van tosses a chunk of the spear into the archway. It passes into mist and out of view. Neither sight nor sound gives any indication of where it may have gone.

[counterkid]

"Van, get back here. We are going to open this chest. We might need you to save us if it goes badly."

[Squirrellord]

Without opening the now unlocked chest, Bryce moves on to the silver plated chest and attempts to unlock that one.

[TristenC]

The silver chest unlocks with a click

[Nocturno]

"Oh Brother. That is precisely why I am not in the room with you!"

[Squirrellord]

Bryce ignores his brother's banter and moves to unlock the gold plated chest.

[TristenC]

The lock on the gold chest provides no more strenuous resistance to the experienced rogue than the other two. In a matter of moments, it too is unlocked.

[Squirrellord]

With a grunt, Bryce turns his back on the gold chest and moves to the wooden chest. Calling out to alert the party of his intentions, he continues "Heads up people. Opening in five, four, three, two, one." If no one interrupts, he flips open the lid.

[counterkid]

Zafron and Tabbi stand back as he opens the chest.

[BishGada]

Galan stands tall near Faladir and rubs his chin while observing intently the brothers playing with the chests.

[Nocturno]

Van will touch the stone on the left. (olive)

He will be off to the left of the door, not in front of it.

[TristenC]

[Second Great Hall] Van
Van touches the olive colored stone, which flashes briefly.


[Chamber of Three Chests] Bryce, Zafron, Tabbi, Galan, Faldair, Sorril
(in the cramped tunnel beyond) Elidyr
Bryce gives a count down, to which Galan, Faldair and Sorril enter the room and ready themselves and watch; the paladin drawing his powerful magical sword. Carefully Bryce begins to open the wooden chest. In a flash it bursts open and a wave of magical energy blasts the room as a giant skeleton appears from thin air! Twin deadly scimitars the size of door-jambs slash forward at the Dwarven rogue!

[Since everyone was expecting trouble, no surprise. Actions and Initiative!!!]

A curious finding...

I'm out of touch with 2e. What do we roll for initiative 1d6 or 1d10 plus weapon speed?
