mzipser Posted November 5, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 5, 2023 Karn goes over to the others and says, "Those skeletons aren't chained to the wall. Them chains go through the wall to somewhere's else." He looks around and says, "Could be someone on the other side of the wall could let them free if they want. And raise up that portcullis and let them zombies out too. So stay ready." Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil_Bottletop Posted November 15, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) News of what amounted to a double-layered defense trap brought a wrinkle to Byll's face. "Who's mounting a defense down here?" He said aloud, as he tried to rectify the ridiculous with the pragmatic. "Can we cinch' the chains somehow to each other, at least keep them controlled that way? Whatever happens, it's going to happen soon I'm guessin'." He fiddled with his belt for a moment, looking to see if anyone volunteered any more ideas.

SirLoganofGilead Posted November 22, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 22, 2023 Astaban saw the new zombie-like creatures and heard the suggestion from Byll. He moved closer to the bars of the new undead things and took a closer look. "Is there a reason we don't just stick sharp objects into them through the bars?" He turned away and made a bit of a disgusted face at the site of them. "I mean I would feel safer if we eliminated them as threats rather than just creating a long weird chain of them." He shrugged at Byll who he was starting to trust at least a little. "You're supposed to be the guide down here, you tell us."

Basil_Bottletop Posted November 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 29, 2023 Byll gave the portcullis and unfathomable horrors beyond it an befuddled wave of his hand. "You think I knew this was here?" He gave a cutting motion with his hand, suggesting he didn't want an answer to his question. "This was a recovery job, no more and no less. But it certainly feels like this whole place has been overrun." The elf tried to gauge the interest by the others, but either the shadows or the recent run-in with former coworkers made that difficult. "If you want to practice your archery, be my guest."

Eric Posted December 6, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted December 6, 2023 The skeletons start to lean forward on their chains, and as they pull out from the walls, the portcullis slowly raises a few inches off the floor...

Basil_Bottletop Posted December 6, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 6, 2023 It did not take a studying wizard to know what was happening, and Bloody Byll smirked at the new development. "These people are twisted." He remarked, but without any bitterness in his voice. "So who shall be the bait?" He asked, but he already knew the answer. "I'm guessing it'll be too heavy to prop it open once it's up, but we should try." Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted December 12, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted December 12, 2023 Layna shrugged. "Not unless we want to take down one of the other doors in a hurry." She draws her sword, feeling perhaps instinctively that arrows would be of little use against the walking dead.

Eric Posted December 21, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted December 21, 2023 Between Brynna's fantastic canine and Karn's flurry of fists, the long-decayed skeletons are quickly dispatched. The portcullis slips down the couple of inches it had raised, landing on the stone floor with a resounding BAM that echoes through the room. The ghouls trapped behind it continue to grope through, though it appears the bars will keep them from breaking through for quite some time.

SirLoganofGilead Posted December 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 21, 2023 Astaban looks at the portcullis and then back at the now-slain skeletons. "I bet we have to go in there... it's going to be harder to raise that thing now..." He takes a step forward and checks the portcullis and the ghouls. He takes his short sword from his belt and tries to quickly get one of the creatures on the other side of the portcullis if they are close.
