Allen lights his lantern and follows Black Dugal into the crypt, he holds his war hammer in his right hand.

Given that play by post is what it is, you might just go into the explanation now. And yes to that second question. It would be a mercy for them to end their torment.

ok I will work up a post over the weekend ( Hopefully)

Just now, roryb said:

Glad you're doing better. Last post was fine. Feel free to get some conversation going with your new teammates.

I was hoping to let one of them pos first then I can reveal what I know more dramatically ( I think lol)

the other captives are they so far gone that killing them now would be a service to them?

I hope @Excior is all recovered now. How is everyone else? We know Balathu is sleepy. 😁

Anyone want to kick him awake?

I am doing ok, but still sore was my last in-character post acceptable?

My interpretation was that we were prioritizing mound 10 to try to stay away from the bronze door and Bertrand.

we need to check out mound 12 at some point as well.

There's not really upgrades... Just changes in range. It's all d6 damage.

Sling bullet does a d4 stone does a d3

To be clear i absolutely am against fighting these things at first level. They are the size of a big dog for crying out loud! (From my interpretation of the description)

I will legit flee if it comes to it.

Google also says that fire cooks them from the inside and it looks like they are stinging themselves to death when this happens lol.

Also please read the post I made right before this one.

can Allen have the light crossbow and 12 bolts?

Thomas stands up. "Thank good Gods that was uneventful. We should go see what those beasts left behind. Their lunch might have been carrying some loot from the graves." Thomas moves quietly up to the victim of the Giant Scorpions to see if they left anything inedible behind. He also attempts to discern from the remains if they were human, dwarf or elf.

Allen was thinking the same thing Thomas voiced and followed him to the unfortunate victim.

OOC:

can we tell what race and class this person might have been?

what kind of armor or clothing was he wearing?

does have have sacks or a back pack or both?

any weapons that we can see?

Allen helps to search the body

Modred dons the cloak and settles comfortably into the plush chair, reaching for a glass from the tray of refreshments. "I cannot detect poison," he announces before taking a cautious sip from the glass, his demeanor composed yet vigilant.

As he savors the beverage, Modred remains attuned to any subtle signs or sensations, relying on his intuition and experience to assess the safety of the drink.

"Let's wait and see what they do." While crouched next to the cart, Allen says, "Somebody make sure the mule does not give us away."

Save or die is a big risk, however, my PC has a pretty good AC so that being said, I will go with the majority on this. I think that since they are wild animals, fire might be a natural deterrent.

Moving back with their guide Allen suggests " Why don't we pour oil on the ground and light it as they cross?" He looks to Black Dugal " If BD hits one of them with that thing they will ignite the oil on the ground as well perhaps that will drive them off."

OOC: sorry for such a short post but I wanted to include something for today.

Valandil walks back over to the symbol etched into the door, his expression thoughtful as he considers the arrangement of the elemental symbols. He glances back at the mosaic on the floor, which forms an eight-pointed star with specific elemental associations.

"Perhaps we are looking at this wrong," he muses aloud, his monotone voice conveying his analytical approach. "The symbols are arranged Fire, Water, Air, and Earth."

With deliberate steps, Valandil positions himself at the point of the star facing the door, which he identifies as representing “ Fire ” (North). He then skips the next point (Northeast), as it is empty. Moving to the following point (East), he recognizes it as representing “Earth.” Continuing around the star, he skips the next point (Southeast), moves to the subsequent point (South), representing “Water,” and skips the point after that (Southwest). Finally, he completes the circle, skipping the next point (West) and stopping at the last one (Northwest), representing  “Air.”

Raising his arms out to his sides, Valandil gestures to indicate the entirety of the mosaic, now correctly interpreted based on the elemental associations and the skipping of intermediary points within the eight-pointed star.

"Fire opposes Water, and Air opposes Earth," he concludes, his logical deduction guiding his interpretation of the elemental arrangement within the mosaic.

what does the floor look like again? can my character match up the pattern on the wall with a pattern on the floor?

Jouka slid the small dagger into his belt and approached the caged beast, making soothing animalistic sounds as he drew nearer. With deliberate care, he reached his massive hand up and placed it on the lion-like beast's snout, gently rubbing it while working to unlatch the cage door with his other hand.

"Easy, Tatonka," he murmured in a deep, calming voice. "You will be free soon enough."

The creature, its eyes reflecting a mix of fear and curiosity, seemed to respond to Jouka's touch and voice. As the latch finally gave way with a soft click, Jouka swung the cage door open, stepping back slightly to give the beast space.

"There you go," Jouka said, his tone reassuring. "You're safe now."

The lion-like creature hesitated for a moment, then cautiously emerged from the cage, sniffing the air and eyeing Jouka with wary gratitude. Sensing the creature's wariness, Jouka remained calm and still, allowing it to approach him at its own pace.

As the beast drew nearer, Jouka extended a hand, palm up, offering friendship and trust. The creature sniffed his hand, then leaned into Jouka's touch, a silent gesture of acceptance.

With a nod of satisfaction, Jouka gestured for the creature to follow. Together, they joined the others in the room

" Tamson, I think you would be a great addition to our group" Allen checks his gear to make sure it's secured. " What do you say, my friend, Join us for a full share of treasure." Allen gives Tamson a reassuring smile as he tries to convince the young guide to join their group.

I can chip in 10 gp if needed just let me know and I will take it off my sheet

Excior here is the most recent spoil splitting. Not sure if you added in the previous haul or not.

was that XP added in to the most recent xp count?

Allen spends his time after returning to town helping to sell the items recovered from the barrows he follows the group to the inn and gets a room for the night. and spends his time listening to the locals and other treasure seekers if present to try and overhear any rumors that may be valuable.

OOC: sorry for such a bad post just wanted to put something up to stay inline with everybody. I cant find the treasure thread.

I had to have my gallbladder removed last Thursday, I thought I might be able to post at some point after that but I was not able to sorry I am plying catch up now.

I can not find the party treasure thread where we divide up the spoils and give a share of party funds, I would like to update my Character sheet with what we got from this last trip and what my totals should be if I have not bought nothing aside from a room for the night. Sorry to be such a pain.

in order to get a bigger pay out we may at some point want to consider staying in the moors overnight perhaps over a couple of days, we will need to find a secure empty tomb and maybe hire retainers or henchmen to help with watches while we explore.
