They are able to use all missile weapons. Their use of melee weapons is restricted to light blades and staff weapons. Evasion - When retreating from melee, an acrobat’s ability to tumble negates the opponent’s usual +2 bonus to hit (see p222). Jumping - With a 20’ run-up, an acrobat can jump across a 10’ wide pit or chasm (or 20’ wide when aided by the use of a pole). Also when using a pole, an acrobat can jump over a 10’ high wall or onto a 10’ high ledge. Suitable poles for jumping include: 10’ poles, polearms, spears, staves. Tumbling Attack - Using the falling or jumping abilities, an acrobat can make a tumbling melee attack. The attack inflicts double damage if successful. Against an unaware opponent, the acrobat also gains a +4 bonus to hit. | Acrobat Abilities Climb sheer surfaces (CS): 87% Falling (FA): 25% Hide in shadows (HS): 10% Move silently (MS): 20% Tightrope walking (TW): 60% | LanguagesCommon | Special EffectsNone | GearBackpack 　├─> Tinder box 　├─> Torches (3) 　├─> Waterskin 　├─> Iron Rations (1) 　├─> Rope (50’) 　├─> Grappling hook 　├─> Wolfsbane (1 bunch) 　└─> Short Bow 　　　└─> Arrows (20) Leather Armor Pole Arm (Modified Acrobat's Hook) Platinum: 0pp Electrum: 0ep Gold: 12gp Silver: 0sp Copper: 0cp | After the explanation, the young gypsy girl finally understood the situation. Even though she didn't really know the importance of such strange boots in the next room, at least she knew it counted as a "valuable" so she may as well give it a shoot. The problem, though, is that Nadia was no thief, so tinkering with traps was out of the question. She had no suitable tools or the required knowhow to disable them. «Nadia stays away from traps. Too much trouble, yes? I got no clue how they work anyways. ~♪» She said with her hook resting on her shoulders, while playfully balancing herself on one foot. Still, Nadia figured that she could be of use to them. Perhaps, by helping them, she could also get a share of the treasure. Not a bad plan. Despite her lack of mechanical knowledge, she could imagine the basics of getting around traps. Nadia stepped into the room, and began examining the door and boot stand «Maybe Nadia can avoid trap. Let's take a looksie.» Showing a serious and focused expression, she tried to measure the distance between the boots and the stand. From the looks of it, the boots seemed ripe for the taking. However, she tried to do some abstract thinking as a precaution before taking them with her hook. «If I put trap, where would I put it?» The acrobat said in a low voice, trying to guess the possible nature of the trap, if there was such in the room. Nadia cheeked the door for some for of locking mechanism, then used her hook to give little stomps onto the floor, trying to look for a loose wooden plank indicating a trapdoor. Lastly, she looked at the ceiling, searching for something nasty that could fall from it. OOC Okay, the general idea is to pick up the boots with her hook, and try to avoid the trap. My possible guesses are these: The pressure plate under the boots either lock the room in some way, opens a hidden trapdoor near the stand, or "spawn" a guardian monster. Maybe a combination of all three! If she doesn't find anything relevant, she will pick the boots with her hook while standing as close to the door as possible, just in case something triggers inside the room. Because acrobats have no trap skill, the closest would be a wisdom check, I think. (tell me if I should roll something else).

Croaker, if we can trust him, said: You put three cans down, you get the metal shoes. I saw this, long ago! Of course, he might have been referring to other cans, but these are all we've found so far. OOC So ... let me guess ... the dice roller will give me a '20' now when I don't need it. Ugh. This thing is sentient and evil: oh, so taunt me with a 20 will you? Fine, I'll give you the target number missed by 1.

Yeah that's fine. Good luck.

Bramzann? How many cans of beans did you collect? I suppose we could go down and collect some if you didn't take that many. The mage comes out of his fugue for a second to answer, "Hmm, yes. I do believe I grabbed a couple of those cans. Let me check my pockets." And he begins to rummage around his pockets. Wobgom nods. "Three cans might be enough ta balance dem...." Lucia and Wobgom make Intelligence checks to determine if three cans is enough. I'm leaning towards not anymore.

My apologies, but due to time constraints I must delay my completed product. Might I be placed on-reserve, or could I simply check back in at a more opportune time?

If Bramzann here doesn't have three cans, I'll go down and pick up a few ... maybe, er, Nadia would like to come along and I can show her what we've explored so far. I'm not entirely sure how the poxed creature would have come to know this detail regarding the 'shoes,' but we don't have much else to go by unless one of you two are competent with discerning traps? OOC Is Bramzann still with us?

Why would anyone want to put beans inside shoes was a mystery to Nadia. The shoes would get all sticky inside, and putting ones foot inside them would no be very hygienic.

Ah.

Ohh, I see. That was just a "Lorem Ipsum", in short, filler text meant to be used to test layouts. It is actually gibberish if you translate it. I would like to learn Latin in the future, though.

Sorry, no. I was referring to the Latin in your posting template. I was wondering whether you had composed that ab initio.

A what? I'm from South America, if that was your question.

Just curious, are you a Latinist?

Of course. I was just clarifying why Nadia didn't just enter the room and meet the others.

RE: joining old & new PCs. In my most recent posts, I had Lucia acting as though the new PCs had not yet "come upstairs" to encounter her, Wobgom (and Bramzann ?). She'd seen Pepik run off as per GM guidance. So not ignoring you folks, but I think Lucia's been focused on the bedroom and workroom until the new PCs make themselves known.
