Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
For the moment, I'm assuming Ducaster's Rodney also makes the roll.
You climb for what seems an hour... Any given foothold or new grip is easy enough, but the endless repetition grinds you down. Lyle has a near fall, but his rope and a quick grab of a new handhold saves him.
Eventually, you can see the bottom. It looks relatively level, sloping away slightly in the same direction as the room you entered into originally (before the wall ever swung around). As the floor is about 50 feet below you, you discover a simple metal door set in the wall! Next to the door, mid-height, is a small metal panel, about 4 inches square.
Here's a chance to discuss and decide what to do next, and hopefully we'll find out if Rodney made the climb.

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Rockla would be more focused on what the rest of the space holds. She would climb down until she is just above the floor, scanning the area as she went. The group has not made any attempt to conceal their presence and it was a long climb down. She believes this would make for an opportune place for an ambush. And she rolled a 1...
Ray can not get off the rope fast enough. He would head straight for the door, as fast possible, without knowingly putting anyone else in danger.

Lyle is with Ray in trying that door, and says as much as long as Rurik (and anyone else on this tether) agrees

Yeah rolled a 16... Now why cant he do that to HIT something more often...
IC: Shaking slighty after the exertion of the climb (Something he was hardly used to!) Rodney observed the door with relief!
"Oh ai Say! Somebody has built a nice door! So if they can come in we can get out! Now where the demm'd keyhole???"
Squatting down Rodney examines the small metal plate, Its probably concealing a keyhole after all....
OOC: Well unless some more cautious soul stops him he'll see if it opens someway to reveal a Keyhole

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
[Sorry, everyone -- busy weekend, yesterday was busy, too.]
So checking out the door, you notice a metal panel next to the metal door, set on the right, mid-height of the door, about 4 inches square. Just starting to check it out, even just touching it, the door snaps open about 5 inches, sliding to the left, that bit disappearing into the wall.
Beyond the door, there is a burnished metal hall that stretches out in front of you, and to the left side a short jog and then stairs going up, the staircase parallel to the hallway going straight.
It won't take much work to pry the door open further.
My feeling is that everyone wants to go through the door, but if I'm wrong, just let me know. We can do a split split party, if you want to...
Basically, there's going through the door or continuing to climb down. That includes someone waiting to do one of those, while others do a little bit of the other.

Lyle, also happy to be done climbing, will scramble into the doorway. Drawing his razor, he peers down the hall for any threats- or anything valuable!

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Getting inside the hall, it becomes clear that the hall ahead curves slightly to the right after about 30 feet. As it does so, it looks like the floor is broken away, leaving a jagged edge of crumbling metal.

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Sorry, long week. Home now.
Ray would follow the flow of the group.
Rockla, lost in thought and in her element while climbing down the wall, would want to look around before entering the door. She has never seen this kind of rock formation before and still can't believe that a creature like that actually existed. Before her exile, she lived a very solitary life as a mushroom farm. Some of her fondest memories, those not engulfed in regret and second-guessing, are of exploring the deep unknown.

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Rockla, once everyone else has moved into the hallway, finds her infravision adjusting to the lack of a torch nearby and can see that the bottom of the "silo" is just 25 feet below her...
Everyone else finds the stairs going up about 30 feet, with a landing at the top (which may lead to another flight of stairs. The stairs themselves seem to be made of the same 'burnished metal'.
[FYI, we're on the cusp of switching back to the other group.]

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Totally forgot to describe what's "in" the gap!
Where the floor is broken away, there is an open "pit" of rock, looking like a natural part of the cavern system that was built over. As it drops down it curves away to the right, so the full depth cannot be seen.
And let's focus on Rockla for a moment.
Rockla climbs down the rest of the silo, reaching a very uneven 'floor'. The floor slopes away from the silo, cascading down sometimes sharply and sometimes shallowly. The extent of your infravision does not show how far it goes.
Does Rockla continue down or re-join the others?
Go to page 72 if she climbs down, or go to--- oh wait, you can just tell us which she does...![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Can Ray attempt to determine if the floor was broken from below or above? And he is more curious about this natural tunnel beneath the floor.
As for Rockla, you are a man after my own heart. We just picked up a few Choose Your Own Adventures at our local library book sale and it took me back. Also got some Jack Vance. Very exciting weekend.
Rockla would like to turn to page 72...

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Ray's best guess is that something weakened the floor and then it fell through. Something about the way the edges are broken away suggests a resting liquid and maybe that change the strength of the metal...? It's discolored, giving it the look of something that's happened a long time ago. And feeling along that edge of it, just brushing it with his fingers there are powdery bits flaking away...
Rockla climbs down and finds a large cavern "room", a roughly 50 by 70 foot oval shape. To her left about the center of that "wall" is a set of stairs going up, more of the burnished metal looking material. More or less straight ahead, the "room" has a "hallway" (still natural cavern) leading out of the "room".

More or less straight ahead, the "room" has a "hallway" (still natural cavern) leading out of the "room".

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Now, in the time it's taken Rockla to discover all this, there's been plenty of time for others to start up the stairs.
Do the rest of you start exploring upward?

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Ray is very curious about the tunnel under the floor but would stay with the group.
Rockla, would turn around to speak to the group and realize she's all alone. She quietly laughs to herself. She wonders what Rendon would say? Nothing. She's dead. By Rockla's hands. Rockla shakes herself and continues on her current path.

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Lyle, never the smartest nor the boldest, digs out that old coin he pilfered from the glove-maker's corpse.
He knows there must be something valuable to lift in here- but where? Closing his eyes a moment, he flips the coin- TAILS- and factors fate's hand in his next move...
Lyle- "Maybe we should check that tunnel after all- no sense just heading out empty handed, an' all. Might be somethin' we c'n use b'side this ole razor, should another beastie pop up, y'know?"

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
To keep things moving, let's say the group in the hall (kids?) decide to check out the area under the broken floor, and that Rockla continues to explore the cavern...
So we'll switch back to the group that fell through the floor waaaaaaay back in Room One.
GROUP B
As your friends were whisked away by the amorphous creature and the spinning wall, the floor under your feet dropped away and you tumbled down into another room...
Roughly 30' square, there are doors on the north, south, and east walls. The doors are smooth, 9' by 4', and appear to be made of metal. No hinges are visible and the doors are set into the wall slightly, a little less than an inch.

Re: Funnel Game: MUTATIS MUNDI....
Bundy sits on the ground rubbing his sore arse while making little tapping noises as he examines the metal near his feet. Chip on the other hand goes up to one of the set back doors (random - east if that helps) and looks at it thoughtfully.GnomeBoy wrote:...

"Damndest thing all this metal panelling!" Bundy snorts disapprovingly... "Waste of good metal, and it is good stuff to or i'm a hobbit!"
"yer too ugly ta be an' Hobbit tosser.." his cousin replies over his shoulder. But ye be right this is a unco' place ta be right!"
OOC: Too low level to do the whole dwarf senses thing I am sure but any clues if these two buggers take a moment examining their surroundings? To the party they seem unconcerned that half their number has vanished ... You say no hinges but what about a handle or a lock plate or something? Is that obvious?
