The Tales of Faerûn - Campaign Thread

Misha looks at the pit and quietly says "Perhaps we should use a rope to make it easier. The goliath could hold the rope keep us from falling if we slip"

Tagret backs up from the door (so as not to be surprised again) all the way to the edge of the pit then turns and, eyeing the newcomer with a degree of suspicion, quietly says "No time for rope, jump for it, I will give each of you a hand....our new 'friend' can come over last"

OOC: Presume that the HELP action will provide them all Advantage on their rolls, and if any still fail, Tagret would like to try to catch them before they fall (perhaps a grapple or strength check).

Misha shrugs "Someone has to watch our backs. May as well be me"  he tries to keep a watch rapier still sheathed hand on hilt

After listening to Tagret's remark once he got out of the pit Saravena moves her crossbow away from Misha with a shrug. Saravena walks to the edge of the pit checking how deep and how wide it is, if its something she can jump like Tagret suggests then she will move back enough to attempt a running jump over the pit.

Acrobatics: 9

Second roll if she can get advantage from Tagret: 21

Saravena makes a running jump over the pit, she barely makes it to the other side. She is about fall over backwards into the pit, until Tagret manages to catch her by her arm. He pulls her up and away from the pit.

Maerys jumps across.

Acrobatics check: 6

If advantage from Tagret: 15

Maerys jumps across the gap but only just makes it across safely.

When everyone clears the pit Misha takes his turn Acrobatics 17/4

Misha jumps over the pit and does better than Maerys.

As soon as the last is across, he eyes the newcower warily before continuing in hushed tones "There's a door up ahead but we have made enough noise to wake the dead, so expect whatever is in that room to be expecting company. Saravena, you take the lead, your armor provides much better protection,...I'll be right behind you"

Almost as an afterthought, he turns to Misha and asks "What do you know about the Red Brands or this building?"

"Thank you for the save," Saravena remarks patting Tagret on the shoulder. Following Tagret's suggestion Saravena goes to the door, with crossbow raised she puts her ear to the door listening for any sounds coming from the other side then tries the handle of the door to see if its locked.

Perception: 19

Misha looks at the giant annoyed but with understanding

"I only know that these redbrands need to be dealt with. I work with the lords alliance and was sent here to find out why people have been disappearing nearby like Sildar's friend Larno. As for this manor's basement, only what you know also. After the Inn Keeper told me about you, I tracked you here from the Stonehill being that the only one with a Giant size footprint is you. And of course some help from Sildar."

ooc: What's the light source here?

Saravena can hear the sound of someone in the room when she listens to the door. When she tries to open the door, she discovered that it is locked. Either someone has shut themselves inside the room and locked everyone else out, or someone has been locked inside.

(Oil lanterns.)

OOC: So we have a few options.  We can try to deceive...knock on the door and see how they respond (doubt we have surprise on our side anyway).  We can try to break the door down - @TheBrit - How sturdy does the door look?  Does anyone have magic that can be of use in opening the door? My concern is that we missed a secret door on the other passage that leads to this room and that whoever is in the room might be able to leave.

Seeing that Saravena cannot open the door, if there is a keyhole Tagret whispers "Can you see into the room?" indicating the keyhole by pointing. (OOC: A long shot but worth trying)

The door before you looks fairly sturdy and well built. However, there is a keyhole that could be looked through.

Misha looks at the door Then at the others expecting the customary lock picker or maybe someone with a crowbar. Seeing that he may be waiting awhile he looks over the party members checking on how badly hurt they are.

"I can give it a shot," Saravena shrugs before crouching down slightly to bring her eye level with the keyhole. "If this does not pan out we could double back and check out that other hidden door we found."

Perception 14

Tagret is 25/35 HP - depends on whether we can take a short rest anywhere, but happy to have some healing to get back closer to 100%.

Seeing the meatshield seems to be the most hurt Misha touches his symbol and utters a slight prayer that sounds more arcane. Reaches over and touches Target Cure wounds 6

Saravena peers through the keyhole on the door and sees a man inside. He is sitting on the floor, and there is no furniture inside.
