Constables of the 14th Ward

Upon noticing the indentations, Darius stops his pounding nonsense and points them out to the group around the door. [highlight]"Do you suppose that this door lifts upward rather than moving inward?"[/highlight] Darius "takes 20"+3 to scrutinize the seam between the door and the walls and ceiling, looking for a sign that the door slides in any direction. Before sticking his fingers in the left indentation to try lifting the door, he also checks for traps/critters/droppings ("taking 10"+3).
Darius notices that there are, indeed, some vertical scratches or scrape marks near the top of the door. No critters or critter droppings are present, but Darius is unable to budge the door when he tries to lift it.

SoulFetter

"May I try, friend?"

SoulFetter moves to the door, settles onto his heels and slips his fingers into the grooves at the bottom of the door. He strains at the door in an attempt to slide it up.

I wonder what Raul and Wally have found down the way?
 

Raul searching along the wall

Getting further and further out, Alarion and Raul are about ready to change tactics when the knight spies what might be a coloring in the stone on the wall. It seems to be in a pattern of a wreath of grain. It is very faint and somewhat obscured by the long passage of time, but Alarion is fairly confident that this is not a natural pattern in the stone, but an intentional image.

OOC: At 42D.

Raul takes a hard look at the area of the wall that Alarion points to.

[sblock=OOC]search at 42D (1d20+3=22) [/sblock]
 

Even Soulfetter's great strength is unable to lift the doors. Down the hall Raul is confident he has found a hidden door. It seems likely that pressing on the wreath design will allow a section of wall to pivot giving access to whatever is beyond the wall. Wally grins with satisfaction at the find. "I told you there's no better guide to the 13th than me Constable."

OOC: Does anybody else miss an old-fashioned 'bend bars/lift gates' roll from 1st edition? :(

What next? Open the secret door? Try to get more hands on the target door? It seems likely that the little holes will not accomdate more than 1 or perhaps 2 persons helping Soulfetter.

Raul will caution Wally. "Let me go back and tell the rest of the group what we found before we open this secret passage. I'll be right back."

Raul will race at top speed down the passage to the door and tell the others of the find, "We found what we think is a secret door down here. We can't keep Wally waiting forever before he enters. Come down here and let's come back to this door later."

OOC: Raul moves at 40. Bend bars/lift gates is 2nd edition even.
 




Darius looks at Raul, looks back at the doors, and says [highlight]"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go."[/highlight] Darius leads the way down the hall.
