[sblock=HM]It Piedra in this game. Galyne's in AoW [/sblock]
Piedra thanks Bella for the boost and slowly walks all the way round the wall, finally getting back to were he started. "There's lots of tracks round the walls. But the newest are the ones going through the front gate. Even these are three weeks old, about the time the professor came."

Piedra starts to unship his axe, remembers the bow, curses and strings his new bow instead. He then dithers over the choice of arrow; not knowing what the blue and black fletched arrows do. Finally he selects a Blue one. Looking at the others he says "We may as well go through the front door, everyone else seems to. Ready?"

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

"Let's go then..." Bella answers, as she pulls out her light crossbow, places a bolt in place, and nods to Piedra to lead on. Ven is at her side, as she takes to the middle of the group.

Elthos smiled as he takes the front. He quickly looks to see if there is anything odd before saying "Let us be on the way then."

 

[Shayuri]

Triessa nods. "We're ready."

Szare just cracks his oversized knuckles. One at a time.

The path leads through the center of the prison grounds.

A small brick manor house is overgrown with thick sheets of gray-green ivy. The roof sags ominously, and the front door hangs askew.

The main building in the center of the grounds looks to be more sound though time is not being good to it either.

This two story stone building looms int he center of the prison grounds. Ivy and moss cling tenaciously to the walls, while above the wooden shingles of the roof are often missing entirely, exposing the wooden rafters of the structure to the sky. Here and there, leering gargoyles perch on the eaves, once functioning as drainspouts and decorations but now seeming to serve a more ominous role of sentinels. Many of these stone decorations have crumbled away and lie in ruined piles on the soggy ground below. Windows in the building's facade are narrow and blocked by grills of rusty iron bars. Stone columns support a slumping wooden balcony over the building's wooden front doors, both of which hang askew and reveal dark glimpses of chambers within.

OCC: Note there are steps leading up to a balcony on the west side of the building.

Piedra carefully checks to see where the tracks go. While he his more interested in the most recent tracks, he will also check any others.

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: Most recent tracks cover the whole grounds, going all around the main building. There are many sets of prints too, a very large group was here back around the time the professor met his death.

Searching the small home takes no time and reviles nothing of interest. The home of the warden and his wife must have long ago been picked over of anything valuable or any information regarding the prison.

"Well I do believe the front door is the only way in." Valanar states drawing his blade. "I'll go first."

 

[jackslate45]

"Val, if you feel you need me to check something out first, let me know. Trust your gut" Elthos mentions, falling right behind the shiny Paladin.

 

[Shayuri]

"Go with them, Szare," Triessa urged. "Help them."

The eidolon gave Triessa an unreadable look, then grudgingly stepped faster to catch up with Val and Elthos.

"Valanar. I need to go up the front with you. I need to make sure that the roof is not going to fall. The building looks non to safe." Says Piedra as he moves to join Valanar and Elthos in the doorway. Without actually entering the building, Piedra checks for unsafe stonework.
