Constables of the 14th Ward

OOC: Does the room appear dusty? Is the straw fresh or old? And yes, I am having trouble with the attachment as well.

Jonas moves in with Bruno, arrow drawn and at the ready.

Alarion and Jonas (and Bruno, of course) enter

Alarion enters the room, sword and shield at the ready.

Jonas and Bruno also enter the room, Bruno sniffing everything in sight. Jonas glances at the contents of the room, notes some dust on the cobwebby shelves, and approaches the wooden boxes and strewn straw. The straw is dry, so it was not cut yesterday, but neither is it rotten. It appears to be pretty standard "packing-material-type straw." From this vantage near the center of the room, Jonas can see that the objects lying in the northwest corner of the room are a few cups and a dipper. There are also a couple of towels on pegs in the western wall, hanging near the alcove. The shadowy alcove is partially covered by a screen or drapery of cloth hanging on a cord about 3-4 feet long that runs from the west wall to the north wall. Overall, the room appears more "untidy" rather than "unused," but the cobwebs do not exacly bespeak of a great deal of use of at least some of the shelves.

Bruno snifs around the boxes more and begins his low rumbling growl of irritation that means, "Hey, boss, somethin' ain't 'xactly kosher here!"

(And of course we can't forget about the step-ladders near the cobebby shelves on the east wall, and the casks and barrels near the southwest corner. Or, maybe we can...)

With his sunrod still firmly attached to his helmet, Darius enters the room with his sword drawn. Seeing no immediate threat, Darius moves along the south wall and begins investigating the casks and hogsheads for any sign of vermin, spiders, etc. Darius even knocks softly on some of the casks to determine if they are empty.
 

Finally

Ok, I can see the attachments now, so I'm hoping that I can upload one, too. I've made a new map, but I have only been told the positions of Alarion, Daruis, Jonas, and Bruno. So everyone else is shown on the map, but I just guessed about everyone else's location, except for Rahvin and Wally, who are under my complete control at last report. (mwahahah) If you don't like where you are, just tell me where you want to be.

Oh, and Alarion, I mis-remembered the location of the curtain before. It is covering the opening of the alcove in the northeast corner, and it's shown on the map. And the orange lines along the eastern wall represent the shelves.

I have actions for Alarion, Darius, and Jonas. SoulFetter halfway idicated that he is just hanging out waiting for the action to start, but I won't hold him to that. Everyone else can state their actions, please.

SORRY FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY SAW THE MAP, BUT I HAD TO FIX A COUPLE OF THINGS

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Moru holds near the door, crossbow ready. He lets the sturdier constables explore the room, keeping his eyes peeled for anything unsavory that might jump out at them. He chitters to his familiar to do the same. For once, it keeps quiet and seems to comply.
 

Raul

Raul slowly follows that group down the southerly hallway to the room but remains in the doorway, maintaining the rear guard as Soulfetter moves forward to the center of the room. Raul will look back down the hallway behind the party and then, turning his attention back to the room, asks Rahvin, "How are you holding up?"
 

Rahvin Stormcrow

Rahvin grins and winks at Raul and says, "I'm actually feeling a little better now that I passed some gas. I'm not 100% yet, or anything, but I'm lighter, anyway."

[sblock=Maeglin/Eloy]I thought about apologizing for this post, but then I decided that if you don't like it you can always drop in occasionally and speak up for yourself![/sblock]
 

Ederaul Mameir

Your vigilance as rear guard seems, as usual, to be going largely unnoticed. But you take solace in this fact, because the rear guard only gets attention when he screws up! ;)
 

Alarion moves to the northeast corner to investigate the "curtain." What he finds is that the curtain is covering a shallow, hemi-spherical alcove about 6 feet in diameter. (Yeah, I know the map shows it as bigger, but cut me some slack, ok?) Covering almost all of the floor of the alcove is what appears to be a well: a raised lip about 8 inches hight surrounds a pool of water. The water begins about 6 inches below the brim. Around the outside of the alcove are scattered some drinking cups, bowls, and utensils. There are a couple of pegs set into the wall beside the alcove on which hang towels.

Bruno continues to snif around the boxes, "dig" around in the pile, and, snarl softly but fericiously every few seconds. Jonas sees that he has discovered something metallic, but it is still partially concealed by pieces of a wooden box.

Darius finds that some of the casks are empty, but most have at least some contents: mostly non-perishable foodstuffs, flour, jerked meat, dried fruit. Some of them are stained as if they once contained wine, but you find none that still do.
