>>72730"Feel free to take whatever. I'm not in this for the money." I look inside it.
>>72731>>72730And indeed, it looks like this is the fabled treasure chest. There seem to be two rows of 5 golden bricks. The bricks look a little dull, but still of shiny precious metal, and are stamped as from the Winding River Mine of the East forbidden Jungles
>>72732Spark is more than a little confused as to why they stashed this in the navigation room, but hands the bars to the eager Iron.
>>72732Iron nods in approval and takes 3 of the bricks. "I will be taking some of that."
>>72733Iron is somewhat confused. "You can take at least one of them. You are making me feel bad."
>>72735"I don't have use for these things. I might have a use for a few bits, but we will worry about that some other time. I think that is all the rooms on this floor. Do we have time to explore the one below us?"
>>72736"It seems the giant force outside will not shoot at us, so I believe that we can." He is busy trying to fit all the bricks on his person. "I can follow you if you need my strength."
>>72737"I'm sure I will. Who knows if there are any other foes on this damn boat." I head out of the room and look into the room on the left. "Dark Star? You coming?"
mainly using this as an excuse to see if Blue Skies is in there still and will come along, but hopefully Dark will wake up >>72738Iron nods. He decides to use the chest as an impromtu gold carrier, placing all gold bricks in the chest and carrying it on his back. He then follows Spark.
>>72738He sees Blue Skies in this room. Blue Skies is tearing up the room. She has flipped the bed over
>>72740"Umm... is everything ok?"
>>72741"Yes. Can I borrow a knife?"
>>72742I give her the dagger I borrowed from her.
>>72743She takes it, and promptly starts disemboweling the mattress
>>72744I watch, with a tiny bit of nervousness. "Looking for something?"
>>72744"What are you looking for?" Iron asks as he enters the room.
>>72746>>72745"An important document"
She pauses a moment.
"I don't think it is on this level"
>>72747"Then let's hurry and search around. Want to try the next floor down?"
>>72747"Now that you mention it. I think that griffon took some documents with her. I could not skim the contents though. Bird was a fast one." Iron ponders. "Anything special about the document? Any signs or emblems to recognize it?"
>>72749She looks up at him, with a look of concern. "It may be gone now."
>>72748"Sure, let's go down one level"
>>72750"Alright. You lead, unicorn." Iron stands behind Spark.
>>72750I lead the group downstairs to the next level down and look around.
>>72752>>72751Down one level is another hallway. Six doors in total, one on each side
>>72753That's a lot of doors. Any votes on which to do first?
>>72754"I suggest we go to the last door on this walkway. I hold this position if any sneaky survivors attempts to pass through and escape." He unequips his spiked gauntlets.
>>72755"And what if the sneaky survivors are inside of the room?"
>>72755Wait. What is meant by "This walkway"?
>>72756"Well, if you need my protection I can follow you. I supposed you could handle some cowards that hide from danger."
>>72758"Sounds like you are the one scared to me." I go open the furthest door.
>>72759"Oh, alright. I will follow." Iron follows behind Spark
>>72758>>72759>>72761Door furthest, on the left, is.......
The room is empty. It is a nicer cabin with a bed and some dressers, and smells like cigars
>>72762I turn to Blue Skies. "Want to disassemble this room while we check the others?"
>>72762"Seems like it is Redclaw's room." Iron search the room.
>>72764She laughs. "You're catching on. I'm getting the impression that not all of the items the advisors came with left the ship. That is, seeing as even basic clothing and the like were not found in the rolling mill or on the motor boat. I'm guessing they intended to get it later"
>>72763"You certainly could, yes"
>>72765I go to the door opposite this one on the right and open it.
>>72765Iron starts to leave the room "If you find something of personal value of him, would you give it to me?"
>>72766Iron follows Spark
>>72764This room does not actually look entirely well kept. The bed is unmade, and it looks as if a cushion beneath the mattress has been removed
>>72767"You want a trophy, or a memento?"
>>72766It too, is empty, with a similar design. The bed is made, has been moved to the precise center, and the dressers appear to have been aligned to make the room symmetrical. On the other wall, a mirror sits in the precise center, with two lamps that are each equidistant from the wall.
A lone chair has been pushed up against the side of the wall to allow for more space
>>72768"I have to admit. This one is nice. We will comb them over once we secure them all though." On to the next one, to the right next to this one we just checked.
[1d2 = 1]>>72769"A shame he had to go down to unseen and non-uniformed attackers in an ambush. Then again, I'm sure he had seen very many of his friends killed in ambushes, and expected he would die the same way. To those GLA types, the Griffonion commoners possess a unrivaled strength. No enemy dare oppose the griffon worker directly, they only ever try to subvert it, surprise it, or mislead it. No, it's not an individual strength, but a collective one. A whole tribe. I think he felt vindicated, in a weird way, in his final moments. No creature dare oppose the Griffin worker on an even battlefield"
>>72775Before I attack, can I put more than +3 on damage through power attack when fully unarmed?
>>72774>>72775Behind this door was a griffon with knife in claw, waiting for his foe. But it looks like Iron and Shimmer have the upper hoof
Iron, then Shimmer, then the griffon
>>72776You can
>>72774Shimmer has a "club" if you don't trust magic or guns
[1d20+7 = 25]
Iron charges at the offending griffon with his hooves, placing +5 hit chance to damage.
[1d3+10 = 12]>>72779Well, that certainly hits. I'm unsure how he could have an attack modifier of +7 if he has 5 on power attack though
