[camp] Gold Mine - Page 13

I did a quick post to get us moving -- the GM thinks we're slow -- and to keep Horde from dehydrating

I agree we should all post at least once a day to agree, disagree, vote, or whatever, just so we all know where we stand and Fun can post in party order as quickly as possible.

You with us, Sokei?

Mine Gold camp

yesm, im here. <.< needed to get somthing at the market...my fault.
I think the one with the most armour should go first, should there be any surprises, or we should let a theif in to go scout around? We should also find someway to keep the door open, sometimes these trap doors never open again (>.<) Does the map say anything about the gold mine?

Sokei says:

Hence the name -- "trap" door ...I just realized you have no armor, Sokei. Uh oh...

Well, I'm okay with Althea going first to open the "trap" door, to see if it actually has a "trap" and to disarm it, as that's my stated function in party order. Who will back her up? Sokei, your spear might be a good tool for that -- it has a long reach -- and Ice and Elda at the ready with bow and arrow. Where do we put Horde?

As it's getting dark and also will be dark inside the mine, we'll need to have a torch lit soon. Who will carry? Althea can hold the torch at the same time as opening the door, I think, and it can be useful with holding off small creatures as well.

Should we make camp for the night and rest before we try going down the mine? And if so, should we not make camp away from the door, in case anyone approaches or exits it during the night?

Urgh... Couldn't get online yesterday. Um... I agree that we should get a torch out, but whoever carries it probably shouldn't be using a two-handed weapon. Althea uses a dagger, doesn't she? If so, she should work. I don't know what Horde and Sokei use. And I agree with checking for traps on the door (though I don't think it's named a trap door cause it has traps. )

Mine Gold camp

First of all, not so quick.

=====================================

Ice the seasoned warrior suggests that before we enter the trap door, we need to scout the perimeter. Let's look for signs of recent activity. Signs others have been there and how long ago.

See if there are any other ways in or out of the mine that we can find, etc.

======================================

We can post that quickly, and then resume our discussion regarding what steps to take next.

My suggestion for entering the mine is this:

Open the door and shine the torch down inside. Look around before entering. Then one of us quickly drops down. I will follow second. Not first because my equipment will prevent me from moving quickly if necessary.

I have a short sword, shield and bow and arrows. I will protect whomever drops down with the torch. Once we see what the area looks like we can discuss further how to proceed and best ensure everyone's safety.

================
Additional thought:

Does anyone have any rope? If not, we should look for some strong vines so that we can tie the bird cage to it, and lower the cage before we enter to be sure there isn't any poison gas waiting for us.

So we are seaching the area, looking for tracks. Then we are gooing to make camp, find some kind of rope material.....i think we should send in a theif first. with a torch.

I have rope, a grappling hook, hammer, and spikes.

I agree with Ice, search the perimeter, and lower the bird in first -- great thinking!

Fun, what's the hold up? Why haven't you posted that we are looking around? The GM is getting impatient and it is bound to cause us trouble.

One of the reasons to post that we are scouting the area is to buy us some time while we make the other decisions necessary about entering the mine.

So, can you post that we are scouting the area, looking for signs of recent activity and looking to see if there are other ways in and out of the mine?

Then while we are waiting for the results of that post, we can continue the discussion regarding our next steps relative to the canary and entering the mine, etc.
