Constables of the 14th Ward

[Leif]

OOC: Morning has arrived, then, and SoulFetter has done his "binder thingy." Everyone gets back 5 hp for the night's rest, possibly more for those who have had monkish medical attention. (Alarion and SoulFetter get back 10 each, no one else has claimed any healing yet.)

Alarion

Alarion rises early, feeling much better after Raul's ministrations. WHile Soulfetter does his bargaining, he carefully cleans and re-dons his arms and armor, inspecting them for any damage.

Darius offers his trail rations to anybody who wants breakfast. [highlight]"I guess the first order of business is getting those doors opened"[/highlight] he says, peering through the small window and brushing breakfast crumbs off of his chest plate. Taking his time, Darius approaches the wheel and tentatively tries turning it clockwise.

Darius and the Wheel

Darius offers his trail rations to anybody who wants breakfast. [highlight]"I guess the first order of business is getting those doors opened"[/highlight] he says, peering through the small window and brushing breakfast crumbs off of his chest plate. Taking his time, Darius approaches the wheel and tentatively tries turning it clockwise.

Give us a strength check, please.

 

[xedr]

Finding that the wheel does not immediately turn, Darius tries turning in the counterclockwise direction before studying the arrangement to determine which way the wheel is supposed to go. Deciding that clockwise is the right direction, Darius puts some strength into his attempt to turn the wheel. [sblock=ooc]Not sure how to roll this, but let's try turning the wheel (1d20+3=12)[/sblock]

 

[Leif]

The Wheel

ooc: that was the right idea, just not enough booty behind the attempt.

ic: Darius strains against the wheel, which appears as if it will give momentarily, but he is unable to turn it alone.

Alarion

The knight from Tovarre leans into the wheel, attempting to help Darius

The Wheel

The two doughty warriors, Alarion of Tovarre and Darius Watson, combine their might to turn the wheel. What wheel could resist such a compelling effort??! The wheel turns, the chains begin to move across the ceiling towards the wall with the wheel, and a subtle shudder is heard from the hallway below.

"Great job, fellows! Now we're getting somewhere!" says Wally Alphonsus, wringing his hands together with glee.

After a couple of turns, the warriors reach the limits of the device, and stop.

 

[Fenris]

Jonas will head to the little window to see what progress has been made in the hallway.

[sblock=OOC]
Jonas will use a charge on the wand in the morning to heal Alarion

Jonas heals Alarion (1d8+1=8)

[Leif]

The Door

[sblock=Alarion]You might have seen it, but I didn't want you to miss the Cure Light from Jonas for 8 hp. [/sblock]

[sblock=Jonas]The big doors are now open. It looks from here like it opens on a wide corridor.[/sblock]
