Re: DaleOfShadows: Maztica, 13 Eleasis


 

The cool cavern air ripples across North's hawk feathers. His keen bird eye spots bits of jewels and treasures down on the copper raft.

He lets out a? - CaW! - as he circles again.

As he flies in closer to?the area, he suspects a possible trap on the raft... He angles his head toward his target and looks down with determination. The raw primal instinct of a Hawk floods his sensory system. Visions of the lush green jungle that lie beyond this temple flash before his eyes.

Following the angle of his head, North the Bird, then pivots his wings to swing him down and then up... and as he does this, he lets out a magnum sized bird dropping from his hawk body with the intention of splatting it directly onto the nobleman's corpse. He has taken all physics into account for this action to ensure precision?as well as impact and composition of the dropping.

If no trap is triggered by this action, North will then land on the raft and start collecting treasures. He's particularly interested in the granite rod that is held by the corpse.

OOC:? Ok so I may or may not had been trained by an unnamed Government agency on surreptitious entry.? Your posts on Flynn¡¯s lockpicking are pretty accurate, in some extents.?? Should I call the FBI?

At the third pyramid,?Cerina?is unable to open the third lid by herself. It seems to require one person to press down with significant force on one side while a second person rotates it up from the other. It¡¯s certainly likely that this one is also trapped, since all the others were, but she cannot see anything that resembles a needle spring.


Flynn?joins her and the pair cautiously begins to open the lid.?Cerina?can feel the pressure from a hidden lever and prevents the lip from opening fully.?Flynn, peeking into the chest, determines that if the catch is released, the chest lid sprays perfumed oil on anyone within 5 feet of it. The only way to disarm the "trap" is to disassemble the chest lid and remove it without pressing the catch.?Flynn?knows he can do it, but doing so takes 10 minutes of work with his tools.


Finally,?Cerina?is able to open the lid, but a second trap hidden deep within fires 4 darts up at her.?

She dodges, reflexively, but?one still catches her for 5 hp?piercing damage.?


Sniffing the dart and examining it thoroughly, she¡¯s relatively certain that it is NOT poisoned.


Within the chest they find eleven platinum coin necklaces (100 gp each), fifteen bracelets of obsidian, bronze and shell (10 gp each), and two piles of gems (tourmalines, spinels, and topazes; sixty gems worth 5 gp each) lying upon two silver platters (15 gp apiece).


¡°No rod,¡± Fenn grumbles, shaking his head.




And what do you do?
