Seven Days to the Grave [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

(As the player may well have forgotten) .... Allen's previous group found the button in an important office upstairs on the second floor, with clues leading them to believe it was the office of none other than Dr. Reiner Davaulus himself! Agent Phi (real name: Fathi of House al-Din) had the button and disappeared below.

It takes Vivino a full eight minutes to finally engage the lift to fool it to go in the down direction. Once that engages, he doesn't have to "hold it place."

The lift seems to go for a lot longer than expected. Adelaide and Iluvar can chat together and determine you've gone at least forty feet! Once the lift stops, Iluvar is able to open the lift door to let in some much needed air .... and a couple of arrows!

Adelaide suffers a "light crit" in her left upper arm from an arrow for 12. Iluvar just barely smacks an arrow out of the way. Woman's helmed voices ring out, "The Temple is under attack! The Temple is under attack!" followed by the sound of bows clattering on the ground and longswords being drawn with very deft speed as armored boots clatter forward a little.

Begin Round One ...

R1T23: Branwyn, you are currently in a box of death! You need to get out of this thing. Two women surprised the group, getting a good hit on one of your members. You are in the back, mashed together with Telgarana, and there is nowhere to go in this box that wouldn't be squeezing. Meanwhile, the female archers-turned-swordswoman have blocked the narrow exit out of the lift.

Squeezing
In some cases, you may have to squeeze into or through an area that isn’t as wide as the space you take up. You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each move into or through a narrow space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed in a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to AC.

When a Large creature (which normally takes up 4 squares) squeezes into a space that’s 1 square wide, the creature’s miniature figure occupies 2 squares, centered on the line between the 2 squares. For a bigger creature, center the creature likewise in the area it squeezes into.

A creature can squeeze past a creature while moving but it can’t end its movement in an occupied square.

To squeeze through or into a space less than half your space’s width, you must use the Escape Artist skill. You can’t attack while using Escape Artist to squeeze through or into a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty to AC, and you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC.
