[Tiruin]

Cleave my way out! -- Rorrim

Baradine: Attempt diplomacy with the insectoids, surrounding himself with a bubble of air and outlying smoke if they attack.

[Loud Whispers]

Search the room for anything of note.

[Yoink]

>Attempt to tune into the place and sense which way leads onwards!

Failing that, walk through the nearest, non-trapped door.

[Knight Otu]

Zalgus scratched his chin. This was an odd place for an alchemist's shop; normally a balcony signified a greater structure. Hm...

Well, knowledge first, architectural quandaries later.

Grab book!


((Also for some reason I'm reminded of Minecraft. Probably because I would frequently build into the side of a cliff or something.))

Get the book! (1d6=1)
You try to grab the book with your hand, but only push it farther. You try again with your feet, with the same result. Finally you try with your staff. Uh... did the book just drop down a little bit?

Cleave my way out! -- Rorrim

Baradine: Attempt diplomacy with the insectoids, surrounding himself with a bubble of air and outlying smoke if they attack.

Cleave my way out (1d6=2)
You're going fast, but it feels like going nowhere.

Diplomacy (1d6=2)
"Uhm, sorry I set your garden on fire?"
It doesn't seem that the insectoids are very impressed with Baradine's attempt diplomacy.
"are you
death by your fire
not stirring terror"

Search the room for anything of note.

Sand, sand, sand, more sand. And the two doors. What a boring room.
Shake-off (1d6=3)
Your arm doesn't feel better yet.

>Attempt to tune into the place and sense which way leads onwards!

Failing that, walk through the nearest, non-trapped door.

You don't even need to tune. That blank, liftable door leads further into the keep, or tower, you're sure. You just need to muster the strength to lift it high enough to trigger whatever mechanic should hold it up. Or figure out another way past the door.

...

Move whatever it's under.

[Tiruin]

Rorrim: Swear at the architect of this room, then try to spot Zalgus or Baradine, with the latter taking priority.

Head to them, or in the best direction possible if failed.

Baradine: Diplomacciiii!

"I mean you no harm, anything I could do to help?"

[Loud Whispers]

Open door #2 (on the left).

[Yoink]

"Hnng, help me out here, would you, Larry?"

>LIFT THAT DOOR. Preferably without placing a large amount of my person beneath it lest it fall.

[Knight Otu]

...

Move whatever it's under.

That looks like it'll be tough. Those shelves appear to be heavier than those in the library. Well, no matter. The way things are, you're rather out of reach.
Move that thing (1d6=4)
Hhhhnnnggg. You manage to move the shelf a bit. You might be able to reach the book again, but you're not close enough to get it for certain.

Rorrim: Swear at the architect of this room, then try to spot Zalgus or Baradine, with the latter taking priority.

Head to them, or in the best direction possible if failed.

Baradine: Diplomacciiii!

"I mean you no harm, anything I could do to help?"

"Damnation! This place is nigh noneuclidian! A pox on its architect!"
Spot the others (1d6+1+1=4)
Say, is that a fire in the distance? That could be where Baradine is!

Diplomacy! (1d6=4)
"So, you want to cook me alive to keep your hands clean? You think that somehow absolves you from blame? Yet here I stand and acknowledge the errors of my way and am supposed to die for them?
...
yes... ?
...
The creatures shift a bit, and while it may be wishful thinking on Baradine's part, they seem uncomfortable. Baradine hopes it's the words.

Open door #2 (on the left).

You go to the liftable door and try to lift it.
Lift the door (1d6=5) <4, due pain>
Mustering all your strength, you lift the door up...
Shake-off (1d6=3)
...though that doesn't do your arms any favors...

"Hnng, help me out here, would you, Larry?"

>LIFT THAT DOOR. Preferably without placing a large amount of my person beneath it lest it fall.

Lift the door (1d6+1=5)
"Even if I'm near-completely composed of muscle, that guy has more muscle mass than me."
...and you step in to lift the door further until you hear a strange sound and feel that the door is secured now somehow.


Beyond the door lies a winding, descending corridor.

[Loud Whispers]

"Got ya back... Though mine might be a bit worse for shape."

Follow Trael. Massage shoulder.

[IronyOwl]

Drag it back with the staff. C'mon, just a little more...

[Tiruin]

Rorrim: Utter a prayer to the recently known deity...then cleave path to Baradine. Attack anything that is attacking him, defend him if no hostiles are spotted.

Baradine: Diplomacy! Convince them to not attack and offer a way to repay them, perhaps? While doing so, check the area for other allies and how to get to them.

[Yoink]

Trael gave a silent nod to Rorgrin, his 'eyes' already exploring the corridoor ahead as he strode towards it, sword held upright in a two-handed grip beside him. He moved faster, now. That delay had irritated him terribly; for a moment it felt almost like he was stuck, unable to continue. As long has he was moving fowards, onwards, inwards, it was something of a balm for his trapped soul.

>Deeper. Sword at-the-ready.

[Knight Otu]

Drag it back with the staff. C'mon, just a little more...

Grab the boook! (1d6=1)
You try to drag the book towards you with your staff, and hit your head in the process. Owch.
Hurt Zalgus? (1d6=5, 1d6=4) (1 damage)

Huh? (1d6+1=3)
Oh dear, Baradine is surrounded! Not just by the fire, but also by several insectoids. Clearly they must be hostile! Chaaaarge! You charge at one of the insectoids wielding a spear...
Attack spear-wielder/Defense (1d6=1)Attack spear-wielder/Defense (1d6=5)
... but you trip over a root and fall prone.

Diplomacy? (1d6=5)
Baradine sees Rorrim charge in and fall, and tries to salvage the situation. "Wait! He didn't mean it! he must have thought that you are threatening me, and he hasn't done any harm!"
with you
then he shall
go to you
Grab that guy! (1d6+1=4)
Two of the insectoids grab Rorrim, getting ready to drag him to Baradine.

Neutrals/Enemies?: 6 Munuruk (3 spear-wielders)

Ah, good, your arm is feeling better again.

The two of you go down the winding corridor. It stretches for quite a distance, it seems.
