[sblock]Father O'Malley remains quiet, repeating prayers in his head as they are tied up. he tries to visually assess the Lt,'s condition. Once the captors leave the room, he tries to see if he can physically nudge Lt. Poole somehow (with a foot if he's within range.) He also tests the strength of the bindings on his wrists.[/sblock]

"Right. Help me with the boards? Anyone shows interest, what's our story?

Jack looks for something to give him leverage and help pry the boards free. "Story?" He asks. "If someone sees us doing this, any story won't be believed anyway."

 

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril smiles, and keeps pulling boards down until he and Jack have enough space to squeeze in.

Jack and Jibril

Pulling several boards loose from the door frame, you are able to push the door open with a shove. Once inside, you find a empty store. It is hard to see as the only light is that coming from the papered up front window. Jack strikes a match and you look around. The shop is about 15 feet by 25 feet. You see two doors. One on the back wall. You figure this is the one that leads to the courtyard. It is locked with a chain and padlock from the inside. Another door is on the left wall about 15 feet in from the front. From the looks of it, this door should enter into the Ju-Ju House.


OOC: Yeah! We broke 500 posts! Good going people!

William and Father O'Malley

[sblock] After checking your bonds to make sure they are secure. N'Kwane and the other men leave. N'Kwane take the lantern with him and it becomes pitch black as the heavy door closes. You can hear the lock being turned. Before they leave you see that at Lt. Poole has some some blood on his forehead but he seems to be breathing. He does not respond to you call or touch.
Your hands are tied to the pole about two feet up above your heads. The leather straps dig deep into your wrists and the pole seems to hold your combined weight easily. The room smells of rotting meat and some strange sour musk. [/sblock]

Jibril motions Jack over to the door, unecessarily puts a finger to his lips, and presses his ear against the door to Ju-Ju House.

ooc: Listen, +5

After a few moments listening at the door. Jibril hears nothing.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril draw his gun. He whispers, "Shall we try it, then?" He lowers his shoulder as if to force the door open, then realize he hasn't even checked if it's locked yet. He very cautiously tries the doorknob.

 

[Gomez]

He very cautiously tries the doorknob.

The door is locked but not by a padlock. There is a key hole.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril looks to Jack, gesturing to the keyhole. "Have you anything to deal with that in your P.I. bag of tricks?" he whispers
