Chapter 05: The depths of despair

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "Not so sure we aughta go in there."

[Dram]

Ox- Do your night eyes see anything?

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin takes a peek in with his infravision provided the torch holder will not mess with his sight. "Lemme check."

[PyroArrow]

Norbold Ernessaeia [Sylvanian Elf Cleric: Scale Mail AC 6 : 4 / 4 HP]:

Says,

"Guys, this coul be expl gas we are smel or sulf."

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "Aint pickin up any signs of recent passage of anything with body heat. That didn't go this way." then the dwarf backs out from the door way "Guess we're going a different way."

[Nordbo]

N B. Just for the record, in my world, any individuals just passing through a cold stone cave corridor do not leave any heat signals hovering in the area - it's not like a vapour trail.

So, lack of residual heat signals on infravision could either mean a) nobody was there or b) someone passed through without stopping long enough to warm up the area.

[Dram]

Ox- Could we stand at a safe distance away and fire a flaming arrow at it see if it is flammable. He looks at the group to see if they think it is a crazy idea.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "Yah could like a drunk dwarf lightin a fart, I guess." the dwarf says while scratching his head.

[PyroArrow]

Norbold Ernessaeia [Sylvanian Elf Cleric: Scale Mail AC 6 : 4 / 4 HP]:

Says to Ox:

" Are you nuts, do that & you migh blow us out of the cave ! "

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "Might blow up Wob too." smiling as he speaks.

[Dram]

Ox- That is 1 yes and 1 no up to you Jacob yes or no. He looks to Jacob for his answer.

[Nordbo]

Do you all want to wait for MW's input before we continue?

[Dram]

If he don't post soon roll for him.

[GreyWolfVT]

i don't know if we will see a post from him he and Antman kinda vanished assumed it was work and school related.

[Nordbo]

OK, in MW's absence the DM decides that Jacob, in the heat of the moment, hesitates and cannot give a clear yes or no. So it seems that the suggestion from Ox 'wins'.

[Dram]

Ox Has everyone get a safe distance away then will rap the end of his arrow in cloth. Does anyone have any oil if not some one just lie the cloth and I will send it flying into the room.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "No oil ere I only carry torches not lanterns."

[MonkeyWrench]

Jacob shrugs and simply tosses the torch like a javelin down the corridor, hoping it reaches a long enough distance to see if there is any ignitable gas down there.

I was gone! And it was Work related! And now I'm back!

Sorry for the absence all, life got away from me and I'm just now catching back up with it lol... I hope.

[Nordbo]

Welcome back MW!

Jacob impatiently tosses the party's only lit torch down the narrow passage. It bounces against a wall, then lands on the floor to light up a room that looks like it's wider than said passage.

Nothing catches fire or explodes. The faint smell of rotting eggs is still present in the air.

[MonkeyWrench]

Jacob looks at the group, "Looks like whatever is here isn't ignitable... Let's move on." Jacob will then head down the path leading to the torch, searching the floors, walls, and ceiling for traps as he goes.
