Grryth looks around the room trying to pick out every possible entry/exit point. Once the room is scanned he will head over to the entrance to the lift and stand beside Alexia and take a close look up and down the shaft. Grryth will activate a sunrod of his own and toss it down the shaft to illuminate the area below.

Walking over to the ink and papers, Lo-Kag can see there there was some kind of struggle here. On the wall next to the lift, there is a small circular hole about 2 inches in diameter. Looking up and down the lift, sunrod in hand, Alexia and Grryth can see that the lift is one floor above you, blocking your vision of anything above you in the shaft. Below, where Grryth has dropped his sunrod, the shaft plummets twenty feet onto concrete and stone. The light of the sunrod rushes up the shaft and also seems to spill out of the shaft through another open door-frame where you can assume it exits into the basement. From what you guys can see, the only entrance/exits to this room is the shaft down to the basement, and the door you entered into the tower.

Alexia grins. "That's it. Keep going down, away from any nasty windows." She tucks her sunrod into her belt and climbs down the shaft with spider-like ease and (somewhat disturbingly) movements. Once she reaches the bottom, she pulls out her sunrod again and looks around.

"Whoa!" Gurdan shouts down the shaft, admiring Alexia's deft leap. 'What can you see down there?"
At the bottom of the shaft, Alexia can see just outside of the door frame. The basement looks... empty. Looking to her left, she can see a man covered in blood lying dead on the concrete floor, a red pool slowly seeping out from underneath him. Floating just above the body is the messenger, it's single eye glowing red. It looks at Alexia and stabs at the bleeding body with one of it's tentacles, ensuring that it would encounter no more resistance from its victim. It then flies off towards the other side of the lift shaft.

"Oh, wow. That's a lot of..."
With noticeable effort (well, only really noticeable to the messenger) Alexia tears her gaze away from the massive pool of blood and shouts to those above, "Hurry up and get down here!"
She then draws her sword while making an angular advance on the messenger. It seems to be effective, for she is able to dart in and land a debilitating blow.
[sblock=Round 1 Actions]Minor: Draw sword.
Move: Perform the following move: G9->F8->E7->E6->E5->F4, which will either put me in F4 without drawing an AoO or determine whether this guy has threatening reach.
Standard: Guiding Strike. Hits AC 29 for 13 damage, and it takes a -2 penalty to AC until the end of my next turn. Huh, that's how I started the first combat.[/sblock]

As Alexia steps near the Messenger, one of it's tentacles snake out like a metal whip and makes contact with Alexia's chest. Fortunately for her, the chainmail protecting her torso absorbed the impact of the lashing tentacle. She moves around the tentacle and attacks, landing a solid hit, her sword making screeching sounds against the hard metal of the Messengers chassis.
[sblock=Alexia] Your attack hits the Messenger for 13 damage. I had to slightly alter your movement; because the NE corner of G8 contained the wall of the shaft, you can't move diagonal from G9 to F8. So instead, I had you move from G9 to F9 to E8 to E7 to E6 to F5. Hopefully this still accomplishes what you were trying to do. If not, let me know and we'll look at it.
Also, just as you stepped into F5, the Messenger took a swipe at you with a whipping tentacle, but it missed.

ooc: I was trying to get into the 4 column to facilitate later flanking. If this isn't possible, then it's no big deal.
[sblock=ooc] Not a problem THB. Unfortunately, with only a speed of 5, it's not possible to get into the 4 column, though you have the option of being in E5, F5, or G5 You are currently set as being in F5, but if you want to change to E5 or G5, just let me know and I'll make it happen. [/sblock]
