Who wants to be a Wayfinder? Part 1

[SelcSilverhand]

With the crew distracted by their duties, it is relatively simple to slip through one of the red doors that marks the off-limits areas of the ship. The group finds themselves in a short hallway with three doors. Though the doors are not marked, Seria notices that one lock seems larger and more complex than the other two. On this side of the door there is no place to duck our of sight if anyone comes through the same doorway. At the far end of the hallway is a short stairwell leading deeper into the crew section.

Up on deck, Midian finds a good position to keep an eye on the captain who is confering with pilot as they make their final approach.

Whisper takes up a position lounging against the corridor wall next to Seria. 'She' says in a gruff sailor's voice, "If we get word someone's coming, just stand up and talk to me, as though we've been conversing for some time. Be sure to hide the tools."

From there, Whisper merely observes and listens, alert for the inevitable wrinkle that could set things awry.

 

[Mista Collins]

Remaining silent, Seria nods at Whisper's suggestion. Digging the proper tools out of her pocket, Seria inserts them into the lock and starts working on it. With slight vibrations of the tool and the quiet clicks of the lock, Seria hopes to hear the sounds of tumblers being successfully set properly their proper place.

At any sign of someone coming through the door, Seria will stand up and conceal the tools and start talking to "the Captain".

Jaron Dain - Paragon/Wizard

Moving as quickly and quietly to the far side of the hallway, Jaron works to focus his concentration for any noise coming from below.

I really need to learn some more stealth-oriented spells

After a few moments of quiet clicks and clinks, the lock slides out of place and the door handle turns freely. Opening the door a little you can see the inside of a well decorated room. There is a large double bed, 2 large dressers on either side, and another smaller door across the room. The walls are heavily decorated with artifacts, weapons, furs, and knick-knacks from all over the land. The room appears to be unoccupied.

From his vantage point at the top of the stairs, Jaron see a light from below. He can also hear the voices of two men arguing over who's turn it is finish a chore. The voices are holding steady and do not sound like they are approaching any closer.

Jaron Dain - Paragon/Wizard

Settling his familiar to the floor and motioning him to be quiet, Jaron has him move toward where the other are by the door to get their attention. As the others look over to him Jaron signals that voices are coming from below, and speed would be the best.

Looking to become one with the walls of the hallway, Jaron tries his best to make himself as flat and unobtrusive as possible.

 

[Mista Collins]

As the lock is successfully opened, Seria turns to Whisper with a smile and a sense of urgency. "Door is open and we are going in" Seria says with a whisper so that her companions can hear her with the spell. Seria takes a step inside. "Now we just need to find what we came for."

She starts searching the room.

Johan watches faithfully from his post, noticing anthing or anyone unusuall, particularly any unusually good looking women.

Midian Rightson, human druid

"The captain still seems busy with the docking," Midian whispers along the magical link, shifting to lean on the rail as he continues to feign a strong interest in the process.

Jaron Dain - Paragon Wizard

After alerting the other Jaron sets his small companion on his shoulder as soon as he returns. Keeping his attention focused on the light and voices from below, Jaron strains his familiar enhanced hearing for any sign of change.

How do the others seem so calm during things like this? Doing this too often would destroy my nerves for sure.
