Myrddyn Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Stupid old man. At least his healing makes up for his lack of ability as a leader. Maybe I should just pick him up and throw him at that button - NO. Erik shakes his head. No. There's more to life than brute strength and alcohol. And besides, I'd have him trying to convert me all the rest of my life. I've seen him going at Sorrow - I'm not sure even death would stop his zealotry. Best to just call him sir and go along with him. The chances of this button out of all of them being trapped isn't that high anyway. "I meant the corridors in general - this seems to easy. Unless those Commerz people decided to get clever and overthink things." The italics stuff is Erik thinking. Edited July 2, 2012 by Myrddyn Quote
Endgame Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 Erik, mutinous thoughts plagueing his mind, presses the far button. A click is hear, follow by a fizzle... Suddenly, a burst of color and fizz shoots out, zooming all over the corridor. It goes haywire, letting out extravagantly painful bursts of colorful fire - frying Pretzel, Erik, and Mizuki for 5 damage each! The button was rigged with a fireworks mechanism! Due to the fact this isn't what you expected, I didn't run Daxus's action. DISCLAIMER: The firework trap was planned from the very beginning. Irony stinks, eh?

Endgame Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 Afer staggering backwards from the unwelcome display of fireworks, the party presses the previous button. Quote
LEGOman273 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 "I'll try the farthest button. Wait until I do before you press any on your side." Quote
Endgame Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 Daxus presses the far button. The party sees a faint glimpse of the room ahead as the farthest door opens! ...Only for another door in front of it to slam down. Their hopes dashed, Daxus turns around to see he is indeed trapped. Quote
Endgame Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Daxus presses the last button, only for a familiar hissing to be heard. he ducks and takes cover in the corner of his enlosure, but it's simply too small: Another firwork springs forth, spewing firey blue sparks, zooming and ricchotting like a drunken hare. Daxus has been fried for 5 damage! The Party: Monk Pretzel, Level 8 Cleric. 463-year-old male "hermit".

LEGOman273 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 "Aaah! I say again: 'Bloody Commerz!' Is Ayla trying to get us killed?! Press the button closest to your far door. Pretzel, can you heal me through the wall?" Quote

OOC: How many fireworks can be in one button? We have pressed every button, so the correct one must have been one that had fireworks in it. Quote

LEGOman273 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 *I go back and press the other button* "When the doors open, RUN!!" Quote
Endgame Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 t Daxus's prompting, the party runs as daxus presses the button. The exits open.. only for a second barricade to slam down in front of them. They could never outrun the clever mechanism. Quote
Endgame Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 "Press the button directly beside you." Mizuki jams the button bsider her... only to see it does nothing. Quote

Palathadric Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 So Daxus will be stuck in there?!? I thought there may be a button once he's out with which he could get the rest of us out. Fine, let's go with the first plan. It's better to have three people out than just one. I heal everyone to full health. Quote
