Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Leif]

[sblock=Mowgli]Sure, well, let's be mean and say that all of them are usable except one -- it was driven so far into the side of the barn that you cracked the shaft pulling it out. Can you live with that?[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=OOC]Oh, I suppose if you must be petty about it I'll just have to live with the loss of an arrow . . .

Sounds good to me![/sblock]

 

[Leif]

[sblock=OOC: Mowgli]What a trooper! You must be angling for some brownie points, eh? [/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

With the death of the orc, a silence falls over the old mill. No more orcs present themselves. This orc is armed with a short bow, not the long bow that shot pink fetched arrows. Of him there is no sign. Brae is sure he saw more than one foe in the barn before the door slammed. Meanwhile, outside the barn, Raul's body is still laying in the muck.

OOC: What next good Constables?

 

[Rhun]

Brae looks about for another exit from the barn.

 

[Scotley]

Brae looks about for another exit from the barn.

OOC: Flying about the outside?

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion joins Soulfetter in the barn. "We must look for the other varlet... mayhap there is a trap-door or hidden compartment hereabouts." He begins to search the barn systematically.

Taking 20 on search for a total of 22[/sblock]

 

[Nightbreeze]

Sentran moodily stalks around, keeping close to the door. He expects to find nothing interesting here, so his attention drifts away.

 

[Leif]

Alarion finds no other exit from the barn other than the way he came in. He does, however, immediately see a ladder that leads up to the loft and he hears some muted cursing emanating from up there. Brae is on the ladder now, I believe? Brae, when you gain sufficient height to look across the loft, you see the villanous orc reaching into his quiver for another arrow. He hears you climbing up and gives you a menacing look as he draws his bow. The orc is also wearing a finely crafted swordbelt from which depends a short sword in a scabbard.

[Initiative everyone!]

[sblock=Scotley]The last map you posted does not show Alarion that I can find. Maybe he had not yet gotten close enough to be on the edge of the map at that time?[/sblock]

Initiative 24
Alarion begins climbing the ladder as quickly as possible.
