The Masons are down below, correct?[/sblock]

 

[Iron Sky]

The Master Mason comes up the stairs and looks up from the base of the ladder to the third floor where you all are gathered. "Find any survivors?"

The Master Mason comes up the stairs and looks up from the base of the ladder to the third floor where you all are gathered. "Find any survivors?"

"There is someone up there, talking about a Master Mason... talking like he died." Yim says, pointing up.

Meanwhile Kaz flips to the next page.

Eithal begins to wonder if it is the adventuring party, and not the man on the roof, who are mistaken as to the identity of the Master Mason. She stirs Kaz from his literary reverie, "Stay shahp, Kayaz, thin's miyat geyit ruff fayast."

 

[Luinnar]

Kaz gets up from his chair "How are you related this this other Mason?" he asks the female Mason.

[sblock=ooc]
It is probably her father, but better safe than sorry [/sblock]

 

[Iron Sky]

The Mason stares up the ladder with a confused expression. "Maybe they had someone who was a mason as well. This was a militia unit after all, most of them had other professions they did when they weren't under Muster."

Meanwhile, from above: "I already told you Mason was dead. If you're talking to him, tell him to go to back Lauto and stop trying to eat people. Every hour they attack, every hour! They'll be back soon! Pull out the fine porcelain and the silverware, the ball starts soon, can't miss the dance."

 

[Mewness]

Livia shrugs. "He's probably as safe up there as anywhere," she mutters. Tiring of the fellow's ranting, she raises her voice and speaks in a rather angry tone. "If you want anything to eat, feel free to come down. If you dare not, stay where you are. No-one's interested in forcing anything out of you."

She must be in good voice today or something.[/sblock]

 

[Iron Sky]

Suddenly, the trapdoor swings open and a ladder drops down. Staring down is a rough-looking, grizzled, gray-haried man covered with dried blood and other bits of body matter. He has a huge, blood-coated sword in his hand and a wild look in his eyes.

"By the gods, you aren't dead! Aren't dead yet anyway. On the hour, they attack on the hour. Make ready, they'll be here soon!"

The Master Mason finishes climbing up the ladder and stares up at the man in dismay, then looks at the party grimly. "If they are coming back soon, we have a decision to make. Do we do what we can to refortify the tower and hope we can hold the next attack off or do we make a run for it and hope we don't get caught out in the open? Neither sounds that promising, but I don't see that we have much else for options."

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Eithal takes some precious time to ask questions,"Two thingies befowah tew lowng." she holds up a finger, "Fuhst, hayow did they attayack, from below or from abowve?" She holds out the second finger, "Saycund, we hayn't checked the baysment, yayet. Whew's dayown thayah?"[sblock=Translation]Two things before too long, First, how did they attack, from below or from above? Second, we haven't checked the basement. Who's down there?[/sblock]

 

[Luinnar]

This one thinks it is wise to check out the basement before we decide. Kaz says, only understanding a bit of what Eithal said.
