The Sundered Way

[BadgeAddict]

(I think this story will go something like....everything was going perfectly...and then Randy got antsy and shot an arrow.)

[thinkslogically]

((or: everything was going great until the folk in heavy armor tried to stealth across an open desert... ))

[BadgeAddict]

(Doubtful)

[Rodgeir]

((No action for Dornikal? If he does get a move:))

Dornikal will cut the bonds on his ankles before very slowly and very painfully rising to his feet.

"Thank ye Tess. Yer gonna need a key for Szartha's mask."

"Tren, Talish, Rens and Galt we're gonna cut you loose. Can ye move?"

[thinkslogically]

"I'm sure I have a key that will fit. Keep your voices down and go quickly, it sounds like we have trouble."

[spiderwrangler]

((No action for Dornikal? If he does get a move:))

((Doh, was going to put in what you had posted before and let you add to it, but was in a rush before work.))

Dornikal frees himself and gets up, the cloud of insects flying off. He rubs his wrists, the pain as blisters burst and sunburnt skin sloughs off jolting him to the here and now. Tren manages a headshake, while Szartha nods and Galt grunts. No response from the other two.

[Rodgeir]

"If we get Szartha ungagged and healthier he can help us a lot. Right boss?

Where is that healer?"

Giving worried looks at Rens and Talish.

[spiderwrangler]

The blue dragonborn hesitates slightly before nodding.

"Are you a mage then? Either way, let's get you armed again."

Nem pulls out her hairpin and sets to work on the lock.

Sleight of hand: 1D20+6 = [1]+6 = 7


"Hold still! I'll be quick as I can."

[spiderwrangler]

((Were these lock picks you have been hiding in your hair? It'd be a thieves' tools check if you're using actual lock picks, sleight of hand is for doing stuff on the sly. Not that it matters with a 1.))

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy casually leans on his bow with a mocking smile on his face, waiting for the orcs to do something about it.

[spiderwrangler]

((Would you like to be taking the Dodge action whilst doing so?))

[thinkslogically]

((I think she’d be keeping her thieves tools secreted about her person, yeah. She’s spent this long pretending not to be being up to shit, she’d have found a pocket or sleeve or something for her thieves tools. Definitiely wouldn’t ever have been left on the cart - it’s too incriminating if it was discovered.

Either way, up to you on the check. +4 if it’s just thieves tools.))

[spiderwrangler]

((It's definitely theives tools. Sleight would let you conceal from Dornikal where the pick came from, or what exactly you were doing, but a magician palming a coin is different from knowing how to use a pick to trigger the internal mechanisms of a lock. Generally thieves' tools would be DEX or INT plus your proficiency for the tools.))

[Arch Lich Burns]

When it goes to his turn, Maji will try to sneak closer.

Roll if needed.
Stealth: 1D20+1 = [4]+1 = 5

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

(( Sure. Dodge is good.))

[BadgeAddict]

STR Check to escape the crevice on her turn:STR: 1D20+3 = [7]+3 = 10
Sigh.....
She struggles in silence.

[Theis2]

Holger will start climbing now that Coljin is up, hoping they'll make sure he won't be shot on the way up.

Holger athletics: 2D20.HIGH(1)+2 = [10, 3]+2 = 12
2D20.HIGH(1)+2 = [2, 20]+2 = 22

[spiderwrangler]

((He's still climbing, but most of the way there. You can start up still.))

[Rodgeir]

Unless the orcs start up the trail and Dornikal can see them:

Dornikal nods to Tess and her 'key' work,

"Aye got ye Tren, let meh cut yet bonds."

He will slice off the ropes holding Tren, moving if needed, preferably towards Talish.

He will glance at her as he approaches hoping to see signs of life.

((Roll? Med: Is Talish still breathing?: 2D20.LOW(1)+2 = [15, 17]+2 = 17
(if perception then 19)))

[thinkslogically]

((It's definitely theives tools. Sleight would let you conceal from Dornikal where the pick came from, or what exactly you were doing, but a magician palming a coin is different from knowing how to use a pick to trigger the internal mechanisms of a lock. Generally thieves' tools would be DEX or INT plus your proficiency for the tools.))

You're 100% right, I had a brain fart

[spiderwrangler]

((That 1 was so impactful it bled over into RL?))

[thinkslogically]

((apparently so!))

[spiderwrangler]

Randy makes a show of leaning casually, but is ready to move, should an attack be incoming.

The orc returns his grin.

Tess pulls free a 'hairpin', and sets to work trying to spring one of the locks on the dragonborn's face cage. In her haste, her fingers slip and the tension flings it a few feet away.

Ulmwin continues waiting with a readied bolt... No need to rush into action- They're buying time, still..!
