A Clash of Earth and Sea (El Jefe Judging) [See Part II]

[Patlin]

The door is crude, and has a latch but no lock. Worse, Jack's pretty sure an Ogre could knock it off its hinges completely with a single wack.

 

[Pbartender]

Jack listens at the door for a moment and then makes a quick search of the room, before heading back up the chimney to report...

Listen +12: 28
Search +8: 16

 

[Patlin]

Jack's excellent ears hear movement in the distance, but it's a ways off. Most likely the door opens onto a hallway, rather than another room.

 

[Pbartender]

Presumably Jack has returned by the time they have this discussion.

Jack comes shimmying up the rope and reports, "The fireplace opens up into a bedroom of sorts... There's three palliasses... probably for the three wizards. There's only one door out, with probably a hallway beyond. Past the fireplace, the chimney widens out and continues down.

"The climb down to the fireplace is pretty easy, especially with a rope, but I wouldn't want to fall. It's a long way to the bottom."

OOC: Hey wait!...

Zack and Sara are still about, at least in theory, and will guard the top of the shaft while the party climbs down -- perhaps to mysteriously reappear should their player post.

Since they're guarding the the top of the shaft anyway, could we have Zack and Sara manage the rope while the rest of us climb down?

Of course, but if they start posting again they'll need to secure the rope before joining you.

 

[Manzanita]

Of course, but if they start posting again they'll need to secure the rope before joining you.

OOC: Sounds fair. Let's head down the shaft.

 

[Patlin]

You remain undisturbed as you shimmey down the chimney and into the room Jack had so recently explored.

 

[Velmont]

"Do we want light?" whispers Opale, as she look around and hae difficlulty to see the room.

 

[Pbartender]

Jack hands her his magic lantern, "Here, take this if you need it, but there's a light on out in the hallway." With both hands free, he keeps both his sword and his dagger at the ready.

 

[Velmont]

"Fine, I'll carry it..." Opale takes the lantern and scan the room before covering it.
