Constables of the 14th Ward

[Maidhc O Casain]

SoulFetter

SoulFetter did indeed comply with Jonas' request. On hearing Thea's warning:

"I'm going to need my axe, friend. Have you finished your look 'round?"

 

[Fenris]

SoulFetter did indeed comply with Jonas' request.

OOC: Thanks!

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion of Tovarre

The knight draws his sword and raises his shield, then stands protectively in front of Thea and Rahv in as they examine the doors.

 

[Scotley]

Noting the sudden alertness of the others Wally draws a nasty looking jagged sword and begins to look about. After a tense moment it becomes clear that no immediate visable threat is present. Thea turns her attention back to the doors. All that is needed for Thea to read the inscription is to brush away the acumluated dust of the ages. Once that is accomplished she can read it clearly.

[sblock=Thea and any other Sylvanoptera speakers]'Make obeisance to Meda'[/sblock]

Heeding Thea's warning, Darius draws his sword. He decides he doesn't want to hold the sunrod at the same time he is wielding his weapon, so after a tense moment of waiting, he re-sheathes his sword and sets about tying the sunrod to his helmet with a bit of fishing line. Once he completes his task, he will put the helmet back on and re-draw his sword.

After an extended pause, Darius says [highlight]"I dunno, maybe we should knock?"[/highlight]

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Noting the sudden alertness of the others Wally draws a nasty looking jagged sword and begins to look about. After a tense moment it becomes clear that no immediate visable threat is present. Thea turns her attention back to the doors. All that is needed for Thea to read the inscription is to brush away the acumluated dust of the ages. Once that is accomplished she can read it clearly.

Having cast his spell to study the mushrooms, Moru maintains his concentration to look at the door, reading the inscription.

"Meda," he says. "Do I know that name?"

As the others examine the 'window,' Moru has a short, chittering exchange with his familiar. "How wide are the gaps on the bars?" he asks Jonas. "Retbi can fit through a lot of places we'd never make it. If he can't get the door open from the other side, he can at least let us know more about what's on the other side."

[sblock=OOC]Maintaining concentration on the Detect Magic so Moru can use it as long as possible.

Not sure if any of Moru's Knowledge skills would cover whatever Meda is, but here's a go:

Know: Arcana = 14, Know: Planes = 28, Know: Local = 12[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

[sblock=Moru Sen]Knowledge religion is the one you needed, but in this case it is common knowledge and no check is required. See the OOC thread for more detail.[/sblock]

Retbi can easily fit through the bars.

OOC: Will you send him to explore?

Moru's Knowledge

Meda, Meda, now where have I heard that name before? Oh, yeah! On the Player's Wiki! You can read about her there, but here's some other info that you now remember, Moru:

Arcana check: Meda's priests concentrate primarily on healing magic, magic to strengthen familial bonds, magic to increase harvest, and so forth.

Planes check: Meda prefers to spend a fair portion of her time in the fields of Elysium, but she also spends some of her time in the Seven Heavens and the Happy Hunting Grounds, and it is also widely believed that she has a quite extensive palace that exists principally on the Astral plane, but has a simultaneous presence on Elysium, at least one Prime Material Plane, and perhaps several other planes as well.

Local check: Meda is one of the two deities who has pre-eminent status in Lauralie Summerhome, the other being her brother? companion? husband? (the myths and legends are confused and conflicting on this point) Barcarus. The temples of Meda and Barcarus are virtually the only properties on Olympus Mons that have not changed hands for many generations. Priests of Meda and Barcarus are involved somewhat in the government of Larualie Summerhome, to the extent that they offer up the invocations that precede city business meetings, administer oaths to witnesses in city courts, etc.

Retbi can easily fit through the bars.

OOC: Will you send him to explore?

Moru cocks his head as he re-reads the phrase on the door. Then he shrugs.

"Can't hurt, I suppose," he says, and does his best impression of a Medan's bow before the doorway.

[sblock=OOC]If nothing significant happens when Moru bows, he'll sent Retbi to quietly look about the room on the other side, with instructions to hurry back at the first sign of trouble[/sblock]

Moru's Obeisance

Moru extends one arm in a very courtly fashion, puts one foot behind the other, and bows deeply, almost touching his nose to the floor. The door seems to take no notice, and just continues being a door. Retbi is very impressed, however, and chitters amusedly, and you would almost swear that he is laughing at Moru.

Whereupon Moru scoops up Retbi and says, "Well, let's see if you can do any better, then!" and passes Retbi to SoulFetter, who puts him through the hole in the wall.

You hear vague, faint scurrying sounds as Retbi begins his exploration.
