Let's do that first.

I agree

[petapan]

to be clear, picking up cortayo's items will require us to rest at the north wall and go to entry C7. i assume you're all fine with that

[OkaPoka]

Ye

[petapan]

C5.

The west wall of the outer curtain stretches before you. The lion's head rises above the wall. The eyes of the great cat flicker, as roars and growls come from its toothy maw. A narrow path runs around the south side of the lion's body and leads into a dark opening in its chest.

If you	read entry

The north wall of the outer curtain stretches before you. The lion's tail bends from the body of the castle and runs downward toward the postern gatehouse, which stands near the east end of this wall.

[OkaPoka]

[Bell]

C24

[petapan]

C24.

You are standing before the outer gatehouse. A raised portcullis rests over the gatehouse opening. Beyond the portcullis, two sets of thick wooden doors stand open. A path winds inward from the gatehouse and leads through patches of undergrowth toward the back of Lion Castle.
If you have the proper spells or magic items, you may go through the gatehouse by
becoming

walking visibly (entry

Let’s try to be invisible!

[petapan]

C25.

As soon as you enter the gatehouse, you become visible. Read entry

C26

.


joke's on you nerds, we're doing C26 anyway

C26.

The portcullis falls as you pass under it. Make a saving throw vs. wands. If your saving throw succeeds, you take no damage. If your saving throw fails, you take 1d4 points of damage.
You may jump forward as the portcullis falls (entry

C28

), or you may jump backward (entry

C29

).


Our roll for a save vs wands is a 13, and our ring of protection grants us a +1 bonus to it.

Original Roll String: 1d20+1 (STATIC)

1 20-Sided Dice: (11)+1 = 12

[petapan]

alas, the portcullis hits us

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[Menalque]

we are clearly being punished for our cowardice in the attempt to use an invisibility thing
