Hambrick: "Well, despite our little fishin' expedition, we made it. Ms. Brigitta, do you know anything about the origin of this devlish place?"

To Rawley, only half-seriously, "Careful there, 'Raw-hide.' You don't know what evil might rub off on you."
 

To Brigitta primarily, but the rest of the group as well:

"Does ya want me ta sneak in der and check it out?"

He gets out his baseball bat.
 

Rawley approached the opening to give it a more thorough examination. The air inside smelled of damp, mucky, rotten mud, and his horse was none too pleased to be brought so near.

But there was no sign of any other entrance that Rawley could see.

OOC: Did anyone think to pack a light source? Might we use Survival skill to rig some torches?

Brown and Haskins dug through their survival/travelling kits and produced about a half-dozen torches.

"Hang on," said Teddy, unzipping his duffel bag. He brought out an old lantern and gave it a gentle shake next to his ear. "Oiled up and ready to go."

T. Rawley dismounts and catches Brindle's reins. He drags hard on his cigarette and then flips it into the brush as he peers up at the strange architecture. Leading the horse toward the opening, he knocks on the building's stonework and peers into the brush on either side of the facade.

OOC: Searching for an alternate entrance or path to either side of the building facade. (not sure if I put Rawley's name on the e-mail -- he rolled a 10...

"Bloody tenderfoot" mutters Haskins as he steps over to snuff out Rawley's still smoldering butt. "Does he want to come out to a bloomin' inferno!"

"Now, Ms. Nielson you have contracted us to not only find you this temple but to bring you back safely. If you would be so kind then as to take a few steps back as we explore the inital entrance. Gentlemen, why don't Mr. Caryle and I enter to clear the way and allow you to enter once we have proceed a bit. Don't forget that we have a precocious feline still lounging about so keep your eyes peeled. We'll go in as far as we can still keeping the entrance in view. I dip the touch here three times to signal the go ahead. Ready Mr. Caryle?"

"Ah may not look like it, but I'm pretty quiet. Ya want me to sneek ahead a bit, at least until the light fades out?

"'Lay on MacDuff' But I am more worried about things that can't hear us really Mr. Caryle. Collapsed floors, unstable pillars and the like, more than anything alive that can hear us. Proceed first, but I shall not be too far behind"

T. Rawley's hand jumps back at the padre's warning before he catches himself and throws a wan grin over his shoulder.

"Just rocks and stink over here," he says. "I reckon I'll check it out with ya'll."

Haskins said:
"Bloody tenderfoot" mutters Haskins as he steps over to snuff out Rawley's still smoldering butt. "Does he want to come out to a bloomin' inferno!"

"It's a darn jungle, Sarge! Hell, it could use a good burn off, occasional."

He shakes his head and unloops the leather thong from the hammer on his pistol, checking that the gun slides in and out of the holster without restriction. Hobbling the horse, he steps up behind Haskins and Teddy.
 


Brigitta

Brigitta nods to Haskins, but cautions, "Not too far in...and be careful of touching anything that you don't immediately recognize...call me in to examine it."

She tries to quell her growing excitement and anticipation.

'Let the lads do their work,' she thinks to herself. 'That's what they are here for...to do the heavy lifting you can't.'

She waits for Haskins and Teddy to enter the ruins, slowly counting to 100 under her breath and becoming increasingly fidgety. She makes it to 65 before impulsiveness over rules reason and she starts forward after them.
