Urn Your Pay (Rae judging)

[sblock=OOC] Is it locked? if it isn't locked I'd rather just open it and go in since that would give any nasties less time to prepare to greet us! But if it is locked go for it.[/sblock]

The door is locked. Ter-raen batters and kicks the door for several minutes, but though the planks bend and groan, the door still stands after his best efforts.

At the noise of Ter-raen's battering, a large number of crows take off, from the roof of the house and from surrounding trees. They wheel for a few moments, filling the air with raucous cries, though they subside quickly enough when Ter-raen stops.

ooc: A 24 isn't quite enough...
 

"Ah well win some lose some big fella. I guess we 'ave a go round the side doesn't look like anyones going in this way!"

Erf moves off to the right of the building looking for another entry point. Fenenn trots by his side regarding the building with a distinct lack of enthusiasm - perhaps remembering his brief journey into kebabhood.

[Sblock=OOC] Well Fenenn can't really aide, and though I suppose Erf technically could hes not going to try on grounds of that being silly - and the two foot weakling makes all the difference! Gildrim could almsot certainly aide whilst Ter-raen is taking 20 though pushing the check to a 26 - would that make it?[/sblock]
 

The door planks seemed fairly close to breaking from Ter-raen's attempt. It seems likely that with some help he could manage it.

ooc: Yes, a 26 would do it.
 

"Erf, careful, we going to try open door again." With the dwarf's help, Ter-raen spends a minute or two roughing up the door again.

[sblock=OOC]Let's do it, Strength check 26 to open door number 1![/sblock]
 

ooc: Just a quick heads up to note that enworld has finally decided to talk to my computer - yay! - but that I don't have time to update now. Boo! In the morning...
 

Erf follows Ter-raen through the door behind Fenenn peering around carefully and attempting to use the light of his improvised torch to light the way.

OOC: Bring it on spiders!
 

Gildrim and Ter-raen begin throwing their weight against the door. After many tries, there is a loud, muffled crack, and the door sags open far enough that it is a simple matter to reach through the gap and remove the remains of the plank barring the door.

Pushing the doors open cautiously, you see a large entrance hall illuminated in the morning sunlight. The floor is paved with cracked marble, covered in the rotting remains of what were once rich red carpets. In the corner to your left as you enter is a small hearth, with ashes long since turned to a sooty clay. Facing the hearth is a wide stairway leading upwards, and opposite the front doors are a pair of swinging double doors leading farther into the house. There is another door to the right, as well.

"If it's spiders, dinnae forgit tae leuk up abuin yer heids noo an' then, lads. But spiders willnae hae set up a dairt trap, sae unless th' auld awners left it, somebody ense haes set up hame."

Gildrim considers his improvised web-detecting stick for a moment and tucks it into his belt. "For ance, Ah'm gaun tae hae mah shield ready. It can catch th' cobwebs tay." He holds it up out in front, higher than usual, and draws his sword.

"Th' door tae th' richt?" he asks.

OOC: back, at last. This is a very fast moving game!
 

OOC: Hey Trouvere, glad to have you back! Just in case you missed it Erf was approved and we were awarded 663 xp, not including the xp we should get shortly for the adventures near two month duration.

Erf looks about excitedly and whispers - though its really no quieter than his normal voice,

"Coo, this is excitin' hey? Four brave adventurers venturin' into darknesses black 'n evil heart! Stuff of legends, right Fenenn?"

Upon hearing Gildrim's remarks the little green gnome shrugs.

"Well ye might want'ta at least swing ye shield in front of ye Gildrim. Them spider webs are darn tricky to spot, I know a fair bit about monsterous spiders which I'm assumin' we're facein', course I'm just basein' that on a husk we saw outside so it could be somethin' nastier - shame we don't have nowt to ward us against posion. Lets go!"

Fenenn moves up past Gildrim waiting to see if the dwarf allows him to pass and sniffs around disdainfully. Once the big party members have entered Erf comes in and conducts a quick search of the room.

"Which way then fellas? I'm fer clearin' out this floor first how about ye?"
