*sigh*

[Mr.Person]

The Gods don't smile on cowards Mr. Person 

Call on da voodoo to give me luck.
Then I move deeper into the fortress, carefully of course.

Good point. I'll shove you in first, then follow behind.

Whatever. I go back outside and look for plants.

[major_sephiroth]

I did mean out of the tunnel but whatever.
I break my way out of the cage, without trying to damage it too much so I can climb on top of it. Once that is good, I'll look further into the fortress, searching for more traps. I won't go down there just yet.

[Paulus Fahlstrom]

I know Sephiroth. I'm sorry about that. You rolled a 1 on your action so it made sense to me to interpret it the way I did. Had you rolled better I'd have had you go back.

As far as Dwarmin and Mr. Person... this should be an interesting turn, in any case.

[zestorum]

Learn More Magic!

I attempt to awaken from my trance then, summon some fire, which I'll study the way it's atoms move so that I can learn how to manipulate them.

[Paulus Fahlstrom]

Turn 6: Order: Sephiroth (1!), Mr. Person (5!,3!), Dwarmin (5!,5!), Zestorum (6!); New order: Zestorum, Dwarmin, Mr. Person, Sephiroth.

Zestorum-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You snap out of meditation, opening your eyes. You still can't see, but you know the guestures you should be making, though it is an added complication. (Action:3!-1) You stand and run through what you believe to be the proper cadence for summoning fire, but you can't really see what is going on and you're not sure if you've done it right. (Observation check:3!-1+1) You can't hear or smell any fire so you assume that your attempt has been unsuccessful.

Dwarmin-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Observation check:5!) The human next to you looks untrustworthy and starts looking back and forth between you and the traps in front of him. You consider briefly trying to use voodoo to help yourself but decide better of it when the human next to you suddenly lunges at you!
(Cius attacks: 4! You dodge:6!+2, 1!+2->3 (bad critical)) (Luck:6!6!) You throw yourself out of the way with a dextrous move, rolling along the ground and standing to face him. You realize only then that the row of traps you'd found is in between you and him and all that separates you from the interior of the fortress walls is a scant few feet of rough dirt. Your weight must have been insufficient to trigger the traps.

Grinning you head off into the interior of the fortress looking for plants in the marshy areas. (Observation check:5!)(Herbalism check:3!) You notice that a patch of stone on the north side of the entrace is a slightly different coloration but would have to investigate it further to tell. You do not, however, see very many plants here that interest you. There do appear to be several plants you recognize and you might be able to collect them, but they're not particularly useful. (No gather bonus)

The human is still watching you.

(+4 observation experience, you feel lucky!)

Mr. Person-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Observation check:4!) You carefully watch the diminuative kobold and you can see him mulling over crossing the traps himself. You wait for him to make a move but then suddenly he looks at you and you decide you may need to help hasten the process. You reach out to shove him in!
You attack: 4! Dwareet'ik dodges:6!+2, 1!+2->3 (bad critical)
He rolls out of the way right towards the traps! You can't believe your good fortune! That is, until he rolls right over them without triggering them. He stands on the other side and you think you see the slightest of grins on his face as he enters the fortress.

You stand there in front of the traps, uncertain if you should proceed yourself. Perhaps the traps aren't working anymore. There's really no way for you to know.

Sephiroth-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Action:3!) You reason that there might be a way for you to simply break the bars of the cage and you attempt to do so, utilizing your strength. But, unfortunately for you, your success was small. They do manage to bend a little but it is insufficient for you to slip out. (Observation check:5!) In your exertions you do notice how the bars are joined to the wood. It's a simple embedded dowel and you might be able to use your inherent elvish ability to coax the wood into a more appropriate shape that would let you escape. It's really more of a druidic skill but all elves have some latent ability, due to their affinity with nature.

(+2 observation experience, insight)

[Mr.Person]

Copy the maneuver Dwarmin made when rolling through. Chaotic asshole ftw!

[Dwarmin]

Curse Mr. Person with clumsiness! bwahaha!
Then check out the odd colored stone.

[major_sephiroth]

I'll attempt to bend the wood into a shape that is simply out of my way, and then try to get out of the hole.

[zestorum]

I'll attempt to be able to become blind and unblind at my own will. I also would like to do this with deafness

[Paulus Fahlstrom]

Turn 7: Order: Zestorum (1!), Dwarmin (5!), Mr. Person (4!), Sephiroth (6!); New order: Sephiroth, Dwarmin, Mr. Person, Zestorum

Sephiroth-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Action:4!) Carefully listening you make sure no one is around to hear what you are about to do. It's just not done for an assassin to be observed doing what you are about to attempt. In an ancient elven dialect you begin to softly sing to the wood. Using the words of nature and of power you wrap your words around the wood and persuade it to move as you desire. You haven't tried this since you were an adolescent and being tested for your druidic capabilities. You weren't quite suited to it then, though you've grown in power. You see the wood begin to warp subtly and had it still been live wood it might have heeded your call entirely. Still, testing it again it seems more flexible now than it did.

(+1 to further escape attempts from this cage)

Dwarmin-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You look back at the heinous human who tried to push you in. It looks like he's considering crossing the traps as well and you do a little dance in an attempt to mimic what you'd learned so long ago. (Voodoo roll:2!-1) (Luck roll:6!+1, 1!+1) You can feel the power beginning to build as you go and then you do your best to direct the negative energy towards the human but you trip on a root and stumble. The magics come crashing down upon your own head and for a second you feel peculiar, as if the world hated you before a white pulse from your aura evaporates the sentiment. You feel normal.

Heading over to the stone (Observation check:2!+1) you pause to rest from your exertions and so distracted are you by what just happened that you notice nothing distinctly different about the stone from close up.

(You feel normal)

Mr. Person-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hey, if some puny little runt of a kobold can do it, so can you, right? You ready yourself and throw yourself into a roll in an attempt to get past the traps. (Trap avoid: 5!) You can feel the stone shift slightly underneath you as you roll but your distributed weight is insufficient to trigger the trap. You feel pretty good about yourself and that you've figured out how to potentially avoid some traps.

Standing up you dust yourself off and look around. (Observation check:4!) You're still within the wall, but only just. The kobold is off near one corner of the wall and before you you see the inner courtyard of the fortress. Much of it looks the same as the outside. There is a small swamp and woodlands in your immediate vicinity but you can see a small fortified structure off to your north, poking above the trees and a large, skull-shaped building off to the east. Nothing else is currently visible.

(+2 Trap experience)

Zestorum-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You sit down again and relax, doing your best to will yourself to become unblind again. (Action roll:3!) and slowly, ever so slowly you can feel your vision returning to normal.

But then again, maybe it's all in your head.

(Vision returns to normalcy)

[Dwarmin]

Go into a trance to calm my nerves and call on the spirits for knowledge in voodoo.

Then move deeper into the fortress.

[major_sephiroth]

I soften it some more, and then try to bend it out of my way.

[zestorum]

I walk up to the fortress door, then I attempt to 'foresee' into it.
