Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC02

OOC: What? you didn't sneak that in to your work place?

The Door

The door is located in the storage cellar of the Lonesome Drake, behind a set of large shelves. It is made of solid oak, bound with iron, and secured with a padlock of very good quality. Boris says, "Even more disturbing to me was that it is not only locked, but also bolted. I presume that it is thus secured to keep whatever unpleasantness lies behind it well imprisoned. I have not fond a key for the padlock. I fear that whatever is down there is the reason why I was able to buy this place so cheap!"

"Now this," a quick wink to manny, "this is our element" seeming from nowhere lock picks appear in his nimble finger tips and he goes to maticulous work on the lock

Taking 20:+11=31

Just before Capizzio begins working on the lock, Boris says, "I'll tell you what -- if you fellows can just open that door, I'll give each of you free room and board for one year." And, after Capizzio does his number on the lock, he says, "Well, looks like you might just be staying in Quail Valley for a little bit longer than originally anticipated, eh?"

OOC: incidentally, Capizzio has a bear of a time with the lock, and only just gets it to open. (Open Locks DC=30)

"Now this," a quick wink to Manny, "this is our element."

Not any more - as of this past weekend, Manny's always been a Sorcerer/Wizard (I know, it's tough to change course mid-stream). It seemed like two rogues was a little redundant for this party, and I really didn't feel like Manny was a very effective character as I had him built so I took advantage of Leif's kind offer to make some changes. We'll see how he works out in this configuration . . .[/sblock]

OOC: sorry mowgli, my thick head just now absorbed what is going on about manny. D'Oh!!

ic: ccapizzio is sweating once again at the trickieness of the lock, thne suddenly *click!* He then turns around with that *ahem* ever so charming smile. "for a whole year eh? we have to stay away from the acadamy for a whole year....hmmmm."

Boris Stenker

"Well, I couldn't ask you to stay away from your studies! Tell you what, I'll give each of you credit for a year of days, let's see now, 12 months in a year, thirty days in a month, carry the three..... well, anyway, I'll get my wife to make up a list (she's better with figgers than I am don't you know) and whenever any of you stay here, we'll just cross off one day at a time. Will that be acceptable?"

 

[KerlanRayne]

"Will that be acceptable?"

Kerlan grasps Boris's hand in a friendly handshake and smiles at him. "I think that is more than generous. Thank you. For now, however, you may want to go back upstairs before we open the door."

OOC: I'm ready to go, is everyone else?

 

[renau1g]

"My thanks good sir for your generous offer good Boris. Kerlan is correct, we must ask you to return upstairs for your own safety. Once we have discovered what is down here we will return to you." Xavier says, staring at the door and not even looking up as he speaks.

Turning to the others, Xavier says "Well my fellow wizards I have some preperations to make before we risk venturing into a potentially hostile area", with that he begins casting some arcane spells to defend himself. "Please stay close to me"

Boris backs away from the door, waving to the Wizards. When he judges that he is far enough away, he quickly turns and hotfoots it back upstairs like the Hounds of Hell are after him.
