Chapter 03: into the Ridge

[PyroArrow]

Norbold Ernessaeia [Sylvanian Elf Cleric: Scale Mail AC 6 : 2 / 2 HP]:

Let's try the bowling ball approach, pressing both eyes & the button below the mouth at the same time on each plague will standing to the side.

[Dram]

Ox- We only live once.Norbold I want you stand clear. In case your services are required. Lets so this.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin I already checked for traps and was not able to locate any. But as you wish." while the others are playing with buttons Korin will search the passage and walls just past the entrance for traps.

[Dram]

Ox looks to Jacob and Korin as they are skilled with things like this.Korin what is the outcome we are looking for here if we press these buttons. Jacob will you assist us pressing these buttons?

[Nordbo]

OK, looking forward to hear who presses what, when, how.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin reminds the others "Careful where you stand and how ya press them buttons too." as he flashes his midly singed hand up to show the others.

[Dram]

Ox- Korin does the whole push in? I will push in the right side plague. Ox pulls his L.Sword and puts the tip of the sword between the eyes of the face on the plague. He stands to the outside of the plagues.Are we ready. Jacob if something happens be ready to pull us out of harm.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "Dunno Ox I hadn't bothered to try after singing my hand."

[Nordbo]

If I've understood the consensus to be that Ox attempts to push in the whole of the right plaque as one unit (i e not any individual buttons) with the tip of his sword, while noone at all does anything to the left plaque, the following happens:

nothing.

The right plaque itself as a whole is an unmoveable object (unlike the eyes/button - which are moveable), set in the wall - it does not budge under Ox's sword .

Meanwhile, Korin searches for traps in the passage area just in around the opening; the floor as well as the walls, up to as far as he can reach (approx 6 ft up). Result:

• Left wall - Korin determines with certainty that there is no trap there.

• Floor - Korin is not able to detect any trap there

• Right wall - Korin is not able to detect any trap there

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "Well so far no traps located lads." the dwarf moves down the passage about another 10' and checks again what he can reach without aid.

[Nordbo]

Korin continues to searches for traps in the passage area 10' in from the opening. Result:

• Left wall - Korin is not able to detect any trap there

• Floor - Korin is not able to detect any trap there

• Right wall - Korin determines with certainty that there is no trap there

Ox- Korin which button did you push when you got burnt? I will stay at the right plague and you get yourself a longer probe so you do not burn your self again. And work on the left plague. We will start with the mouth.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "Button Below the mouth. The two eye's didn't do anything that i could see or hear."

[Dram]

Ox- Okay here we go on 3. He watches Korin to nod in approval. then starts counting. "1-2-3"

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin takes out his dagger and uses it as a probe for the button. Nods to Ox "Go ahead Ox."

[Nordbo]

please state:

• which eye(s) and/or button(s) Ox and Korin are pressing on their count to 3

• where they are standing in relation to the plaques

thanks!

[Dram]

Button on the mouth. ox is standing on outside of the plagues. Not in between them.

[GreyWolfVT]

Button below the mouth if i remember correctly. Also not standing in front of the plaque off to the side.

[Nordbo]

When Ox and Korin press the lowest buttons on each plaque at the same time,

• a 2 foot flame shoots out from the mouth on the left plaque

• a burst of foul-smelling gas shoots out from the mouth on the right plaque

just like before. Korin is not touched by the flame.

Do Ox and Korin keep buttons pressed for a while, or let go instantly ?

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin holds the button down with his dagger until Ox signals to stop.
