Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (This is the Game Thread)

Desolate and abandoned, the evil alchemist’s mansion stands alone on the cliff, looking out towards the sea. Mysterious lights and ghostly hauntings have kept away the people of Saltmarsh, despite rumours of a fabulous forgotten treasure. What is its sinister secret?

"Very well." Brax responds, saying nothing else, she seems to be concentrating on something.

"Well this has been a fun discussion on the merits of humanity but maybe we should keep looking around, eh?"

With that, Searos leaves the room to see what else is going on.

"Ah, here come the others" Kim says, unfolding arms and legs, as Searos comes into the corridor.

Vee follows Searos out of the room. "good idea. Maybe the smugglers have something hidden in the next room?"

The broken staircase is just as they left it, Brax pauses her action, waiting instead to see what the Group chooses to do.

"If it is smugglers, then I doubt that they can do anything up here," Echo says as she exits the room. "There is probably a room down below that we might have missed," she suggests.

"True enough" Kim answers Echo. "But I still want to see what's up here, before we decide if we spend the night in here or go back to the village.

With that, Kim takes a few steps and then jumps to cover the gap.

1d20=18 DEX check, fail.

Kim's trying to jump she flies in the air, the second the mage is in the air its obvious to all the jump was woefully inadequate, hands grasping for the broken and splintered timbers Kim falls badly to the ground on one knee, a loud Thump is clearly audible.

1d6=1

Amazingly Kim manages to avoid any serious injury, the only wounds being cuts and bruises.

(That WAS lucky!!!)

Brax shakes her head, steps back a few feet, and jumps into the air gracefully, she lands simply on both feet.

1d20=2 Pass

"Coming?" She asks the rest of the group with a grin.

Gunter looks at the gap, shaking his head.

"I'm sure I could cover the distance, but not as sure that the floor would hold me once I land."

He asks Brax, who's already on the other side, "Think it's sturdy enough?"

"It appears sound, yet perhaps we could reinforce it?" She rubs her head.

A little dazed, Kim stands up and checks if the body is still OK. Apparently it is, mostly, so what follows is a slow climb up the stairs again, head shaking and mumbling, probably a few swear words.

"Are you all right, Mage Kim?" asks Amon, peering down the hole.

Amon has always been something of a klutz. He can barely dress himself without falling over something. That's why he hired that servant to dress him instead. Shaking his head, he announces, "I'll wait here with Dogmeat. I would only break my neck trying to make that jump."

"A wise decision" is Kim's dry comment.

Echo stares at the rest of the group as if they had suddenly just lost their minds, especially after seeing Kim fall the way she did. "No, I think I'm going to wait here too," she says.

Searos shrugs and takes a running start to leap across the gap.

(1d20 = 3 Pass)
