Steep stone stairs descend into a vaulted cellar flooded
with turbid water, in which dozens of wooden barrels idly float.

Conditions:
Lady Emyralda - 2 Constitution damage

Map Key:
The large S indicates the secret door at the end of
the downward passage.
Ceiling - The ceiling is approximately 10 feet above
the dry portion of the room.
Lighting - the room is dark without any natural
light.
The stairs are steep and are considered difficult
terrain when ascending or descending.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special rules for the room:
The water is nearly 4 feet deep in the flooded area. It
costs Medium or larger creatures 4 squares of movement to move into a flooded square,
or characters can swim if they wish. Small or smaller creatures must swim to
move through a square. Tumbling through these squares is impossible.
Pulling oneself up onto the elevated platform at the far end
of the room requires a successful Climb check.
The heavy barrels in the water block movement, but it is
possible to dive under them with a successful Swim check.
Getting onto a barrel requires a move action and a
successful Acrobatics check. Any character who starts her turn on a barrel or
jumps onto a barrel must also succeed at an Acrobatics check or fall into the water.
As a move action, a character who succeeds at a Strength
check can move a barrel 5 feet. For every 5 points the check result exceed the
DC, the character can move the barrel an additional 5 feet.

Icky. Any obvious or not-so-obvious critters?

Nothing obvious.
DeleteCan we tell how deep the water is?
ReplyDeleteIs the water clear or murky?
Do we want to continue this way or should we just go the other way and come in from the other way?

Matty, do you read the posts or just lookit the pictures?
Delete"The water is nearly 4 feet deep in the flooded area."
The half-orc was soaked with fetid water that rushed in from the partially submerged room beyond.
DeleteI like looking at the pretty pictures. lol
fetid - smelling extremely unpleasant (Dictonary)
yes it is 2" over my head I am in the back. I don't really want to swim to get across. I was kind of being sarcastic (sorry it did not come across that way).
I was more concerned that something would reach up and pull me under, I keep thinking the Trash Compactor from Star Wars.
If you fail your swim roll, YOU might keep you under ;P
Delete"Surely nothin' bad will come o' this, eh mates? We'll 'ave a splashabout an' nothin' goes amiss, yeah?"
ReplyDeleteIs it freshwater? Stagnant or with a flow?
Ro-Mahn will attempt to clamber up on the nearest barrel, then barrel jump to the dry ledge.

It is murky, fresh water.
DeleteI'm guessing if it was just wine in those barrels then you wouldn't need a secret door :/
ReplyDelete"Where is the secret door supposed to be down here? Beneath the waters?" Cando asks in disgust, and wades into the room... Start moving towards the stairs at the far side, that go up to the ledge. Axe ready.

The secret door depicted on the map is on the west wall near the southwestern corner.
DeleteJust move along with the group
