Spike Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 When Arwin finds the peculiar break in the west wall, she keeps the discovery to herself, thinking it could just as well be a natural fissure of the sort that plague old tunnels that are about to fall in, but she continues the search for a switch of some sort just in case her hunch proves to be correct. "Anny, yer a right-good-looker!", the half-orc exclaims as she locates the switch. "Come 'ave a lookit this, laddies!", she calls to whomever, pointing at the hidden mechanism and deferring the decision-making to one of the party's more leaderly sorts. "I'd open it meself, but... well... ye know... traps an' wotnot." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 "Unless you count blindly triggering one, I have no better facility at finding a trap than the average sailor." Kavik grins. "Now, finding a place to wipe out every coin I just earned within five minutes of shore leave... That, I can find no problem. The exploding, cutting, poisoning, painful kind of traps, not so much, not on purpose." "I can swim out, so the decision to try the door is entirely yours. Unless you can grow gills, or Procan deems you worthy of bestowing some means to breathe underwater, this may be the only means of exiting this sewer."

Spike Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Before she or anybody else tries to open the door, Arwin makes a more precise examination of the floor and ceiling immediately below and above where whoever opens the door would be standing. She then draws her best dagger and makes ready to try the door. "Ye ready? I'm ready." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Moving the torch to his off hand, Kavik plants his trident against his instep, ready to accept any monster's charge through the doorway as it opens. "The tide's coming in. The sooner the better for all of you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkast Samurai Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 "May Procan watch over us," Yarrin says as he readys his scimitar. "He's done pretty good so far." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglef Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Noow, tha's music to mah ears, Heleger thinks as he scans the note. We finally got somthin' on that sonofagoblin. He folds the note carefully and puts in in his pouch. He tries his best to help his companions look for a way out of the room that doesn't involve *shudder* swimming, but his Dwarven eyes aren't up to the task. When Anny finds the secret door, the dwarf almost cries out in jubilation. Instead, his customary manacing glower falls like a curtain over his face, and he says "Joost oopen it, Anny. We c'n handle anythin' tha' coomes oot." He then readies his axe and shield, hoping that the passageway beyond the door leads to a somewhat drier climate.

Spike Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Seeing that everybody is ready, some more ready than she herself is; she opens the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 After Heleger, the group's elected leader says to go for it, Anny pulls on the handle, & the door swings open. As she does a blast of stale & musty but dry air emits from the chamber, yet unlike the rest of the chambers & tunnels in the complex, it is quite dry & extremely dusty. With Kavik's everburning torch to light the way, she sees a small 10'x15' chamber. Cobwebs hang in thick sheets from the ceiling, thou no spiders reside in the webs. Against the northern wall sit three large sea chests, with 3 equally large padlocks on each. There is also a small wooden door on the west side.

Qwyksilver Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Kavik pads quietly through the room, silently cursing at the cobwebs that get tangled in his hair and the spikes of his armor and pads over to the wooden door. Pressing an ear against the door, he concentrates on trying to hear anything on the other side. Listen check: 14 + 7 = 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Kavik. you kneel down beside the door, it's size small to everyone & you take a listen.There is nothing behind the door but the sound of silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 "Nothing seems to be moving on the other side of this door," Kavik nods in the direction of the small wooden door. "Should we see where this leads and come back for the chests once we find a way out of here?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglef Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Heleger nods approval. "Tha's joost wha' Ah was gooin' ta say," he comments. "What yoose is whatever's in the chests if we're still trapped doon here?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Who opens the door? (there is no lock on this door just a pull ring). Also marching order into the passagway/room beyond the door, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Arwin eyes the wooden chests with curiosity, taking note of the sorts of locks and estimating whether or not they are the sort she can handle. It is the spider webs, however, that convince her to let the chests wait until later. "They'll be 'ere when we pass through agin.", she says after a moment. "I'll bet ye there's spiders 'angin' round 'ere though. .... I 'ate spiders.", she adds as she kicks at a bit of spider web on the floor. With dagger still drawn, she proceeds to the door. "Allow me.", she says mockingly, bowing deeply and opening the door. However, she lets anybody and everybody else go ahead of her if they choose to.

Qwyksilver Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Kavik bows deeply to the halforc and grins. "Milady does honor me." Resuming a standing position, Kavik ducks through the low door and enters the passage, his trident gripped tightly in his hand, the everburning torch held over his head illuminating the darkness beyond the doorway. ADDED [OOC] And apparently it's not so much a crouch as it is a crawl [/OOC] Edited July 31, 2009 by Qwyksilver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
