It might be worth Pelenwin hitting them with the Sacrosanct Soliloquy and seeing what happens...

Mmmm... unfortunately, tombowings has been AFK for a while now, so I've been NPCing Pelenwin the bold. He generally likes to deal with foes hand to hand; but seeing as he has been reduced to 1 hit point it might be the appropriate moment for him to try an alternate strategy...

DoctorX, I'm going to require Josiane to make a successful wisdom check each round in order to maintain her chant from now on.

Makes it a little more interesting for you... and perhaps a little more risky for everyone.

Bless you! I've been going quietly insane with frustration here! Bring on the die rolls! ;D

Pelenwin (presently on but 1 hit point) and Wibert both fall to their knees before separate coffers of coin and start emptying the content into their treasure gatherer's sacks excitedly.

Wibert is still imagining all the exquisite sweets and pastries he will be able to afford when there comes a sudden, loud grinding of stone. Both of them look up just in time to see a great stone door drop into place, sealing them in with a resounding thud. They are trapped!

"Whooooo ailsssss mhhyyyy peeeacessss?" comes a terrible whisper like cold ashes crumbling into a forlorn autumn breeze.

The pair of them are afraid.

Being the one who made his character eat the fruit from the underground tree, I can't say anything but, "Welcome to the Impulsive Players Club!"

Wibert is very afraid, he almost wet his pants. Can there be too much excitement...

I am sorry, rule number one never touch the gold until safe to do so.

Did you notice we all split up once again into so many small groups, its just not safe, but we end up doing it anyway. We need to get better at sticking together and helping each other. [img]images/smiley/eyesroll.png[/img]

It's like we can't help ourselves or something... we're always splitting up! Even when we talk about not doing it, we do it.

I think it's a big enough group that we need someone giving at least broadly-shaped orders. Consensus doesn't work so well underground.

Leaving a vanguard in the dungeon entry made sense, but no one came to fetch us as the group moved on. Sending scouts out to check things is good, but there has to be a plan for coming back, or checking on the scout if they don't follow plan. Communication, chain of command, marching orders.

Or instead we can just enjoy the confusion and mayhem [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]. Have at 'em!
