Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Erwin looks on with a smile at the Hobbit straining against the door.

Maybe some help would be in order, eh Fungo?

He'll assist Fungo with the West door.

Otis - Fighter

Otis glances at the prisoner, then Fungo trying to open the door. He says "Uhhh, guy here seems to be a bit antsy, I'm thinkin' something bad might be behind that door."

Otis turns to the prisoner and says with a stern gaze "What's in this place? You tell us right now, or you're going to lead the way through that door! SPEAK UP!"

If he doesn't say anything, Otis will tell the others to grab the guy and get him to his feet, and Otis will try to force the door and we can toss this guy in.

The west door has carvings of possibly a setting sun and trees with no leaves. Otis puts a shoulder against it and the door grudgingly opens.
The warrior has a general look of fear about him. Opening this particular door neither adds nor detracts from it.

Inside is a still chamber, dust has settled over everything. A small rectangular box inlaid with gold and gems lies on the floor. The room depicts a mounted warrior in archaic armor. The horse is rearing and the warrior has a blade held high in the air. Behind him are trees in winter. The leaves have all fallen and the branches are starkly painted against setting sun.

Actions?

Fungo salivates.
Finally: treasure. We’ve been all over with nary a brooch or coin of any really value. Shall we grab the chest? He asks, apparently forgetting their pursuers.

Otis - Fighter

Otis says quietly "If that guy moves or does anything, run him through." Otis will cautiously enter, sword at the ready and says to Fungo "Master Fungo, would you care to check this box out? I'll watch your back."

Fungo uses his thieving skills to check the box for latches, so he can easily open it.

Sammich readies his bow to cover Fungo's box activities.

Fungo lightly brushes the box, looking carefully at the latches for traps...

...he lifts his head and is no longer in a dark tomb. The ground is white with snow. He is in an open plain. In front of him is a forest of bare trees. The sun is sinking in the west. From the west rides a man in shining mail on a white charger. His sword catches the last rays of the sun. The man charges towards Fungo upon his warhorse!

The rest of the party sees Fungo tinkering with the latches and then pause as if contemplating his next move.

Actions?

Channeling his best Brad Pitt (from Seven) impression, Otis says “Fungo! What’s in the box? What’s in the box?”

Otis keeps an eye on the prisoners as well, waiting for Fungo to reply.

Fungo (in his mind) attempts to dodge the incoming knight while screaming, Mercy great Sir Knight. Where am I?
