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?
My son is a writer, so we read?a lot?of nonfiction for reference and accuracy. ?/OOC
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?
