We were in an inn and it was transported (with 6 commoners), we trecked out found a city. This city was large and consisted of frost giants, I convinced the party to sneak through this city(we have a real bad reputation of getting kicked out of city's,and we would be slaves real quick), well blada blada bla charmed a creature that travels the planes selling all types of stuff, convinced him to talk a friend into selling us a planeshift scrol and pay this guy to cast it. we ended up somewher between 50-250 miles beneath the surface of faerun. we have travel 3 ten day killing a couple gargantuan 2 headed fiendish T-Rex's and collosal undead con sapping worms. We ended up in a large cavern with vegetation teaming with primitive life, a whole ecologiacal civilization . dinosaurs in plenty being hunted by a tribe of humans who were scarred of a Huge celestial umber hulk who was being worshiped by a great number of large apes(dont know what they were),well we pretty much annialated the whole ecosystem of this place made deals with intelegent huminoids and took a portal out of there(somehow they were stuck there and couldnt leave), we ended up on astral plane , went through another portal across from it(being attacked by flying ogre magi ) made it through and we are now standing in front of 2 collossal mettle doors that are closed(back in the underdark-made the rolls-in faerun). So what do you think our first step should be with these doors, and hopefully staying alive from whatever is on other side. :angel:
Tempus665 01-29-04, 03:02 AM	The proper thing to do here is knock, of course, and hold your weapons ready. There might be a very helpful wizard on the other side, but there might also be a drow city. :b:
The Deep Dark 01-29-04, 01:43 PM	ok not sure how the 3e stuff works on psions. but you could use the read object or whatever its called and touch the floor in front of the door to see who has walked acrossed it. have the ranger check for tracks as well. of course try some detect evil and good. oh and before you do anything I assumed you checked it for traps first. have the mage take a good look at the door too so you know if its magically trapped or something. then take a look around. are the caves that lead up to the door the same size or similar? if not then why are the doors so big? oh and look at the craftsman ship of the door. look for scuffs from the hammers that forged it. are they big(like did a giant or a dwarf or what make them.) Also look for decorations on them. if there are spiders RUN. after that I would say use some wiz magic on the strongest character and have him sneak through. I would send the monk. and send him with no weapons. that way he could say he came unarmed as an act of trust, haha.judo chop!
Autosponge 01-29-04, 01:53 PM	um... what the hell is your motivation for any of this? I mean you hop from place to place with no apparent goal and you're at some big doors. I say, walk away from them. Nothing good can come of it. If your GM comes up with something brilliant like 'you feel compelled to open the doors anyway' quit the game.
The Deep Dark 01-29-04, 02:02 PM	yeah the only plan jumping campaign I was ever involved with came about on accident. we stormed a red dragon. killed him too. took his horde gave 1/2 gold to city we built other half went to a gold dragon. but in the magical stuff we found a longsword of planar travel. now it was random travel so it was fun. plus we were really high level so we could fight anything. the gods stopped us after a while though. and that was not fun.2 of us became gods I got sold into slavery on Ravenloft and every one else died. it was a little cheesy at the end.

If your GM comes up with something brilliant like 'you feel compelled to open the doors anyway' quit the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I had just gotten done saveing one of my companions who had fallen through a portal to elemental plane of water, I had located him in the all ice section(on the plane of water) somehow frozen in a wall(with lots and lots of other people).I had spent a good portion of my money to hire some wizards to cast the appropriate spells while me and the rest of my group got him out of this wall and safe in faerun. That night we had stayed in an inn, I think we may have upset someone by damaging there wall collection and it transported us, the inn and all the commoners in it to this plane of ice where the giants had a city. I convinced my party to treck through this city without being seen or trying anything stupid(without asking me first). While trying to find anything that will help us get off this plane. We found a slave market and frreed a couple slaves, killed 2 giants(in some side streets) who had bought some slaves. I charmed monster a creature that traveled the planes selling anything and everything (didnt know the race as a character), convinced it to talk to another of its race that was a caster to sell us a planeshift spell(he cast it on us) we ended up somewhere between 50-250 miles beneath the surface of faerun. So far our modivation is to get to the surface alive. Been 3 ten day since we have even seen a town. These 2 steel doors are collosal in size and closed, I am wondering the best steps to take in getting through these doors without getting killed and finding out what is on the other side also without getting killed/cought.
