The Brink [of Madness] Act 1, Scene 1

[TristenC]

Jack begins to circle the edges of the room, scanning the carvings for any irregularities. It isn't long before he finds one particular cobra carving, raised up as if to strike. Upon close inspection, there is a fine seam in a circle around it; as if it were the handle to a hatcn in the floor... As he continues around the room he finds 3 more [red circles on the map]

Braiden begins to examine the large snake sculpture and finds a shallow hand-print shaped depression on the nose.

Ke'sha and his undead begin to file down into the area as well

====
The red circles are the hatches Jack located (a, b, c, d)

I'll use the images people have provided for their characters as tokens. For those without a picture yet I'll substitute one until/ unless one is provided.

One square is 5 feet.

Landro narrows his eyes and draws and brandishes his immense weapon from his back: it seems to be twice as large as a regular two-handed sword.
"I'll keep guard. Statues come to life sometimes." He stays where he is but watches to see if anyone needs assistance.

Jack begins an arms length inspection in an attempt to discover possible traps on the four ‘levers’.

[Dark Omen 67]

Braiden draws his Battle Axe and shield, he takes his stance over by hatch 'B', "So with the hand indention on the main snake head, we just have to find the right pattern. Which level is pulled first and in what order? Do we have to pull the levels at the same time?". Since Braiden is near hatch 'b', he is going to take a closer look to see if their is any indicator as to the pattern.


OOC; Are the four snakes with the hatches, in different stages of a strike? Coiled up, lung, bite, etc.?

[BishGada]

Ke'Sha responds to the big beast named Landro, "I don't like dead things come to life, unless it is my doing." he then looks through Gurs' eyes at the room, focusing mainly on the four hatches and the huge snake head.

[TristenC]

Jack checks the hatches for traps, but finds none.

The 'hatches' look like one could simply pull the snake to lift the cover (like a manhole cover). The snake handles all look the same.

At closer inspection on the palm-sized depression on the large snake head they can see a small pinhole

[chris107]

The pinhole and depression are on top of the snake’s head?

[It looks like someone used the "report post" function on the last post. Typically that is used for inappropriate content like extreme vulgarity, questionable subject matter, pirated content, etc.]

The pinhole and depression are on the large snake-head's snout

[1d20]=8 Poison Sense Need WIS (16) or lower.
Axid scans the area for poison especially in the area of the big snake head.

[TristenC]

Axid senses poison within the tiny pinhole/ possibly a poison-needle or poison spray trap

[BishGada]

Ke'Sha yawns while the others checking all the snakes around. "Would you like one of the undead, push the levers?" he asked, somewhat bored.

[Styrius]

Axid remarks “There is poison in the pinhole. We need to make sure we don’t come in contact with it.”

[BishGada]

"Why not?" Ke'Sha asks in his bored tone. "It might spice things up a bit."

=========================================================================
(OOC: 1. Do undead get poisoned? 2. Not surprisingly, Ke'Sha has poisons NWP. )

[TristenC]

===
zombies and skeletons are immune to poison.

[Styrius]

“Ke’sha, perhaps one of your “employees” would take one for the team and investigate the pinhole?”
