"The ceiling, you moron!  Look at all the fluid draining out of it!  It's clearly a lurker above!  I'll check the door to make sure it isn't going to wake up as soon as we try to escape."

Take 20, for total of 25 with trapfinding.

You can tell only that you are very deep, so deep that you have never been at this depth.

[spoiler]10+ miles down.

Runes hold the same information.[/spoiler]

An examination of the door shows no mechanics at all, no noticeable hinge, handle, or lock.

Looking at Dalanath, right now i would say a lot is wrong with some of the people in here. Didn't catch what you said earlier I was too busy trying to figure out how crazy these people are. Sad to say I think I trust the goblin more than the other two right now. I need to find my shit and we all need to get the hell out of here, you got any thoughts on doing that? Looks like... Frank pauses for a moment trying to recall the goblin's name Terek is trying to find another way besides the door. Name is Frank by the way. Give me a minute and i'll figure out if Chauser is right.

Frank concentrates for a few moments, looks puzzled and does it again. Well Jelly man you're righter than you think. We are deep as shit under ground. Hell if we dig down we may pop out the other side. I doubt even the Duergar go this deep.

Deep as 'shit', eh?  Just the type of thing an otyugh would be behind.

Anyway, looks like the door's safe... provided we can get it open.  And there isn't any hideous logic-defying abomination on the other side


Chauser takes a minute to concentrate (and 20), then kicks at the door with all his strength.

1d3+3d6+4=18 damage

[spoiler]Take 20 on iaijutsu focus check for a 24, then burn a point of inspiration for int-to-damage, unarmed strike does d3 -1 for strength.

Encounter inspiration : 4/5[/spoiler]

I don't think you can use your inspiration right now, first post basically said all of our stuff was unavailable right now.

At the point right before your fist would have struck the door, the runes flare up, and a pulse of light passes from the door’s side to the edge of the carvings. When it reaches the end of the lines, it starts to speed up, heading back towards the door, disappearing at the door’s edge. You are then suddenly blown back a step and your fist stings something fierce.

[spoiler]1 point of subduel damage

Arch, spoiler that stuff please.
Anyways, Inspiration makes it through the gaps of that due to no required preparation and not being removable, I know some daily stuff would also fit, but for the sake of headache they were blocked aswell, his is encounter based, instead of daily, also. But do remember you are exhausted at this point, it doesn't factor in, but I thought I better remind you.[/spoiler]

Well, that stings.  I'm out of ideas

The flash of light from the door finally woke up the young man. Wiping away a bit of drool from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, he sits up noticing that his hand is not gloved and he seems to be wearing rags. Deep blue eyes look about the group of other individuals before scanning along the room.

"Does anyone know what happened? Or where we are? Or where our equipment is? I do not remember anything....  Is anyone injured?"
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri rock! I need scissors! 61!

Short version is we don't have a fucking clue what happened or where our shit is. We do have a fucking clue where we are, so far under ground we could fall out the other side. No one has complained about being hurt but that one just punched the stone so his hand could be fucked up. Points to Chauser.

Suddenly there is a pop, and a small imp appears in the room, It said with a Transylvanian accent. Scanning the room it spoke some more,

I recognize the accent!  You're a servant of the Otyugh Overlords!  I knew those fangily bastards were plotting something!

"Otyugh Overlords?" He askes looking to Chauser before his gaze shifts to the imp.

"So we are to be entertainment for your master then? What sort of 'entertainment"?"

Dalanath politely sits down while his psicrystal skitters over to the imp.

Galon crouchs down (how he does this without impaling his thighs on his calf-spines you don't know) and looks with mild interest at the imp "So why are we here?"
there is roughly a 99% chance that this post is an obscure reference to SOMETHING.

Chauser leans back against a stalactite.  He's tall.

Is this by chance some sort of horrific bloodsport with little chance of survival for anyone concerned?

Ignoring the rudeness of the dwarf, the imp starts to explain, It pauses for a moment, reaches into a tiny pouch on its hip, and pulled out six strands of 36 small orbs, some of which were glowing. If

So, are we grouped up by team or something?  If you put a paladin in the same room as a cleric of Orcus we wouldn't be seeing full lights, right?

"And I imagine that should we decide not to participate, we would be killed, correct?" He says to the imp with a frown.
