I think the strongest and heaviest should go first. I dont think there will be anything on the other side, but the one with the most gear (you and farseer) should go first.
===========
Sokei holds tight to the railing and backs up as to let Ice past him. The wind blows past his hair and he can feel his fingers going numb from the cold wind pushing against his stomache. It took all his strength to hang on.
Why do you think the heavier people should go first? We are no longer on the bridge. We are now entering a new tunnel. I don't see how weight has anything to do with it. I think we need to decide if we are worried about an attack in the tunnel, which I doubt likely are traps, which I think are more likely. If traps, then I think we need a thief to go first.
I'm back!! Sorry sorry sorry for the delay, (and I *still* don't have my DSL set up... even after major-league complaining to my provider (you shoulda heard me... it was awesome.)) I'm currently back on dial-up, whilst sharing the phone line with 4 people, and so my time is limited.
Tena!! Great job of holding these fraying ends together!
So. We are in a dark tunnel, crawling on the rails? Do we have room to carry a torch? Or is it darkness from one end to the other? Which way is the howling wind going now? from below or behind us?
I say that Sokei and Ice, go into the hole, look around quickly to make sure no one is lurking there and then come back up. Then we remove the dirt from in front of the door, check for booby traps and open it.
Or maybe after checking it the hole if we find nothing of great concern, Ice guards the hole, Sokei guards the way we entered the room and Elda and Althea do the digging. That probably makes the most sense.
I would post all the plans and let the GM decide if we need to stop and reconsider or if we can just go forward because we find nothing of concern in the hole.
I will post that way. -------- PLEASE ------------ Sokei and Elda -----
Post! Let us know what is happening with you, or tell us you're dropping out, one way or another just contact us. You can email me via my profile page. Thanks
Well, it depends. I mean if we are really looking for gold, I think we need to take a crack at the door. They have blocked it for a reason. I think we need to find out what the reason is. I think it is to keep us away from their supply of gold.
I think we should very carefully clear the dirt away from the door. Always looking for signs of booby traps. Same thing for actually opening the door. Make sure there aren't any trip wires or other traps before we open the door and then open it very slowly.
I think Sokei and Fun should guard the entrances while you and Elda did. Then we should all be together as we open the door. Prepared for what ever "evil" might lurk on the other side.

Hmm. I disagree. I don't think they would put gold behind a door that they have purposely blocked with dirt. I think there is some kind of horrible thing living in the mine, and these people are mining for gold in spite of the danger, while marking passages which they know are dangerous so that they and their fellows won't be put in harm's way. They didn't know we were coming, so why would they mark a skull and crossbones except to warn each other?
There is another door in that room that we could try first.
