[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

[Wulf Ratbane]

Rawley moved forward to inspect the crumbling column, but didn't notice anything unusual-- it had simply crumbled with age.

But both he and Teddy could see a little more, now that they had moved forward to the edge of Haskins' flickering torchlight.

Rawley spotted a tall, arched doorway, open into the structure beyond.

Teddy had crept to the edge of the torchlight and nearly knocked his head against another column. It seemed likely that a colonnade ran along the platform at the top of the steps.

How far the colonnade, the steps, or the building extended to either side, out of their vision, they could not yet tell.

Brigitta

Brigitta moves in behind Haskins and slides to the ex-soldier's left, staying along the top step until she is directly behind Teddy. Once there, she slowly moves the lantern from right to left...searching the shadows and perhaps giving Teddy some additional light to see buy.

She has her Webley gripped tightly in her firing hand...just in case.

T. Rawley rolls a cigarette and lights it looking at the yawning archway. He shivers a little as he takes a few puffs.

"Hey, Sarge," Rawley says quietly. "Wanna bring the light this way so we can take a gander at the rest of this porch?"

OOC: He gestures to the 'north' on your map...or the opposite direction as Brigitta and Teddy. Also isn't Hambrick and Bill up here somewhere?

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

Now with correct light radius! Sorry!

"I ain't no solider, but I dunna think we wanna be spreadin all out. Maybe we should stick together."

Teddy looks around at the group, scowls, then says

"I'll go first."

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

"I'll go first."

Umm... go where?

[OOC: Is the intertwined snake symbol in the corner a floor inlay?]

Yes. Creatures will look like round counters (like you guys) and have a colored border.

 

[Old One]

Brigitta

Yes. Creatures will look like round counters (like you guys) and have a colored border.

[OOC: Natch]

"Gentlemen...before we go any further...I would like to examine this strange floor markings in the corner. Perhaps we can close up into a tighter group so I can do so without interruption."

Brigitta moves down the steps, winking at Teddy as she goes. She stops on the last step and raises the lantern to peer down the apparent passageway to her left front.

[OOCrovided she doesn't see any relevant signs of danger, she will examine [search w/ "take 10" = 19] the floor inlay.]

OOC: Wait wait what steps! No not the steps! Wulf, reasonably cautious, with your narrative is always fine by me.

Haskins brings the torch closer to the inlaid emblem for Brigetta to examine. Haskins, however has his eyes and ears trained to the surrounding darkness.

I will positon myself to the south of the snake symbol, on the first step down so that Brig has light but I can see down the west side clearly.

Edit:, Uh with out actually stepping on the symbol BTW.
