Before we continue, let me just make everyone aware of this little fact:
Prügl, you might have noticed, began strumming a little melody on his
Lute of the Acute Brute as you entered the chapel sanctuary. Because you all heard this (because you were in earshot), everyone's Strength and Presence abilities have switched places...for THREE DAYS...such is the power of this magical, musical weapon. For some people, like Fechr and Grin, this makes absolutely no difference. For some of you, particularly Malaiz, it means your minds have become considerably duller (this also affects spellcasting for Malaiz), but your general strength and melee combat proficiency have been enhanced! For poor Lord Margar, who previously was incredibly strong (Strength +3) and therefore great at melee fighting, is now considerably weaker (Strength -1), yet his mind has been sharpened up to Presence +3, so he's even smarter than his supposedly intelligent horse! This also means he's suddenly become a great shot with ranged weapons, noticing details (like traps), and generally charming people. If you're happy about this change...thank Prügl. If you're not...thank Prügl! Either way, changed you have been. I have modified your
online character sheets to reflect this.
As such, GDTS's Presence stat is now 0 instead of +1. Therefore, his roll of 13 means his result is...13. As the DR is 12 for this specific test (as it is for most), that's a pass anyway.
Back to the action:
With Lord Margar having travelled up to the end of the tunnel, taking his torch with him, and Prügl having doused his own, it becomes apparent that narrow shards of orange light are shining down through the tiny holes in the ceiling. The combination of the skittering, tittering,
the movement of shadows across the holes, the cessation of the urination and the sudden change in pitch, then
silence, that follows Giant Dances the Sea's finger-insertion into one of the holes...suggests a sudden sense of
immediate danger in the mind of GDTS, that his probing finger is in imminent peril.
How do you wish to proceed with this knowledge, GDTS?
