[DFRPG] Crawl! IC

[ajardoor]

The other three bandits were shot dead by Bain. The arrows went through something vital, all of them easily slaying the highwaymen (well, one of them is a woman...) via organ destruction.

Slateman crushes the heads of the corpses, a wise idea on the party's part.

Bain asks the party to check the rooms, and find a way to block the access to the chambers to prevent people from coming into their current location…

What do you want do first? Locate the secret chamber or open the door?

I agree. Secrets shall be brought to light.

Vic agrees to going to the secret door, but wants to try looking for the key to the locked door. Using a lightstick to illuminate.

Let me look for the key.

The key to the big metal door that was locked. From the first visit to these caves.
Vic uses scrounging to search the bodies, and rolls 5 (skill level 15) CRITICAL

After that is done he helps Bain strip the bodies of armor and weapons and equipment.

Vic looks high and low, but he finds no key to the doors in the corridor.
It seems the bandits are very security conscious...
He does manage to discover a small stash of food in the guard post, though! It's eight meals of trail nuts and bread with two big wineskins of water! Yum!

Bain, meanwhile, looks closer at the corner where the faint footprints are.
He discovers that there is some kind of sliding trapdoor in the floor...although it is not opened by handle (it has none on this side) or by mechanism, but by an internal switch that operates the sliding cover in reaction to some kind of magic spell. Triggering the magic spell would open the passage...But how?

Gathika gets close to Bain and takes a look at the bandit. She rolls e. medicine 13/8, to stabilize the bandit. She restores 3 HP. Her bloodlust SCR is ok with 15/9.

Gathika checks the mechanism using her tome and carefully cast analyze magic 7/7. She gets it!

Gathika's spell tells her the trapdoor will open if it is presented with a double-headed axe.
