Casefiles Reopened: Agents of D.E.L.V.E.

[Ferrix]

Eransyl will move in the center of the group keeping an eye out.

 

[JonnyFive]

Sereth will keep to the front of the group, and attempt to help out the others in spoting what they can't see.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

As Thorn and the others follow the trail, it eventually leads to an actual cobbled path once more. The path splits here, one fork heading away from the keep and curling back through the necropolis, the other continuing along the base of the keep and entering a shallow tunnel, sealed with a wraught iron gate.

 

[JonnyFive]

"So, what direction should we go now?" Sereth will ask the rest of the group.

 

[Azaar]

Erran looks in both directions, before heading towards the shallow tunnel and the gate. He looks over the gate for a few moments before looking back at the rest of the group. "I'd say go through here, myself. It's inside the keep that we want to go, not away from it." A brief pause, then he adds, "Of course, that presents us with getting through this gate first..."

[sblock=Sorrow]Spot check (inspecting the gate for ways to bypass it, assuming there isn't a lock that someone can potentially pick): DC 20 (taking 10 on the check)[/sblock]

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Erran:[sblock]The gate is strong, wraught iron over some kind of wood, too old to really recognize. It is locked, the lock set into the door beneath the pull ring on the left. Further inspection reaveals no other mean of passage.[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

"Allow me," Thorn offers, hunching down by the grate and giving it an experienced once-over for a moment. Her fingers trace over the bars without ever quite touching them, following ever imperfection in the iron, helping her discern patterns that might conceal any manner of unpleasant surprises...

[Ferrix]

"Have it all set then?" the tiny elf inquires.

 

[Shayuri]

Thorn grumbles something and snaps, "Hang on a second...just making sure I'm not poking my hand into a badger's hole here."

(-GM poke- Search check rolled...want the Open Lock -now- or after you tell me there's a trap? Or what? )

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Thorn:[sblock]A careful examination of the iron around the lock reveals minute inscriptions, age worn but barely readable. YOu've seen this sort of thing before. A magical trap, one of several kinda of ward. You can attempt to disarm it by damaging the inscription in the way you've been taught with your Thieve's Tools.[/sblock]
