I meant "forcing our hand" as in providing info and a course of action for an NPC that directly effects our choices. Did not mean it in a bad way.

"The choice I leave to each of you, but in fifteen minutes with or without you my friends, I am going up those stairs!” I did not take that as a suggestion, a possibility or anything other than an NPC saying they were doing exactly what they said. That is even more true as the DM is playing the NPC and I know you do use it at times to "nudge" us.

As I did not take it in a bad way. However I did feel you deserved a clarifaction on just what I was trying to do with her statement.

Everyone please do the "in character thing" but also post your vote for "rest" or No rest" here to make it easy. When you post put the running total of each vote in your post.

Rest 1

No rest 0

Rest 3 (Keeper, Ody, LD)
No rest 0

Rest is good and investigating the doors at the end of room would be good too.

Rest: 4 (Cor, Sirene, Ulthok, Conall)
No Rest: 2 (Alasdair, Althena)

Undecided/indifferent (Cynil [I hope this is comes from a result of my post])

rest 5
unrest 2

*sighs* I have no idea is my spell was cast or if Althena spoke before I cast alarm. I'm going to have to look at my spells but *sighs* seems like I will just go with them...I am undecided right now...I'm really low on spells right now, but I believe moving ahead is the right thing to do. We should stick together, because with our luck if we divide ourselves up, the door is seal behind those of us who go up the stairs and won't let anyone else come in until either we claim the sword or are dead...I think we should all stick together guys. The spell casters need sleep, but I think we should carry on, by the looks of things, most magic won't work against what the sword throws at us anyways, so we will mostly use our melee attacks anyways....

we should heal up if hp needs it, otherwise I vote we ALL continue together.

(DM EDIT: Althena spoke up before you cast the spell so you still have it in your inventory)

Either way we will go or stay as a group.

Indubitably

Been working 8am to 11pm and haven't had much free time hope to catch some on Saturday.

Sorry!

Your vote to stay to rest or go up the stairs with Althena only counts if it is posted IN-GAME. Tommorrow is the deadline folks so if you want it to count get those posts in.

Also since 5 of you here are also in my DEATHLANDS game I have posted in it's Q/A that it has been put on Haitus and the reason's why.

Cor has already stated that we will rest and Alasdair will set the watch.

Okay dokay......

Here a chance to team up on spells, look at others available spells and let share ideas on how to build a strong mix of spells.

We'll need our best, but don't forget that Tann always has surprises.

BTW Tann, in Ulthok's quick search did he also check those big double doors at the end of the room? It sounded like they were different, not just room doors, but then I've been wrong before. I was hoping for an option to the stairs, you know us thieves don't like a frontal attack. i was hoping for a secret back stair.

Yes when he checked them out he found them to be both locked and magically sealed as they are the main doors INTO the Pyramid. On the other side is the large plain with all those slug like worms and as things stand with the collapsed tunnel, your only way out of the Pyramid at the moment.
