Northwest Passage

Dieter - Mage

Hmmm... this may prove useful. He will mutter as he tucks the wand into his belt.

[tumblingdice]

"Good thinking," Castinus says to Dieter. He'll remove all metal from his person, and follow the mage down the hall.

[greyarea]

Castinus and Dieter, after removing the metal from themselves, move down the corridor. Examining the metal plates, they are firmly secured and you doubt even Number Nine (RIP) could damage them or move them.

The hall ends in an empty doorway leading to a rom beyond. Theo holds the light back with the others and you can barely see into the room beyond from the middle of the hall, but it seems empty. He doesn't think the money could get beyond these plates if they get as hot as he assumes.

Actions?

Grimes - FIghter

Grimes thoughtfully rubs his brow and says "Be careful! This must be a trap of some sort." Then he says "wait a moment." With his short stature, it would be easy for him to crawl. He'll place wave in his hand, and start to crawl down the hall. "Let me see if the heat extends past the bottom of the plates."

OOC: He'll try to crawl and see if the heat radiates below the plates. I guess it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, he'll quickly crawl back with a dejected look on his face.

[tumblingdice]

"Could we put our armor and weapons in sacks, and kick them down the hallway?" Castinus suggests. He also looks for secret doors, levers, pulleys, etc. that might disarm the plates.

[greyarea]

Grimes crawls forward and quickly crawls back. The heat most certainly extends to the floor.

(secret roll) Castinus finds nothing that looks like a lever, pulley, or secret door.

Grimes - FIghter

Grimes picks himself up and wipes his sweaty brow. "Mmm. That didn't work so well." He gets another thoughtful look and says "Dandy, can you toss your hammer at one? Maybe you can break it or knock it down."

OCC: Okay, last wild idea. Maybe if we can break or knock down these, they will cease to function. I promise if this doesn't work, I'll shut up and follow the direction of anyone with a plan.

Dieter - Mage o'rama

Dieter will head back to the group with Castinus. Grimes, I am not sure what Wave does for you but, do you think you could use it to control the water from the pit we crossed earlier? Maybe use the water to "flush" us down the hallway?..... Just an idea.... he will say massaging his chin.

Shae - Fighter/Mage
"The most obvious result of the plates is that we can not pass wearing metal armor or carrying metal weapons. If we all strip down and disarm ourselves we are in prime position to be ambushed. Perhaps we send half the team ahead so unequipped, their gear being towed by Dieter using his Floating Disk magic. The other half of the team provides cover with missile fire and magic until the first team re-equips. Dieter then comes back for the remaining gear as Team Two crosses...?" Shae asks her comrades.

Dandy, Dwarf cleric

"Aye, let's see what ole whelm can do!"

Dandy will hurl whelm at one of the plates.
