Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

[hewligan]

OOC: Hewligan - are there any obvious trails through the dust and debris on the floor here? Do the stairs keep going up or do we have to pass through this room to continue?

There is another door at the end of this room. The stairs have ended. There is dust and grime, rust and even the odd bird nest in the gears, and much dust and rain damage on the wooden floors, but the path between the entrance and the far door has clearly been well walked.

The mesh cabinet has a single messenger raven inside. It looks healthy and well cared for. It cocks its head to one side to observe you.

OOC: Any other actions, or do you want to move on?

 

[frostrune]

Jokad quickly surveys the scene and moves across the floor to cover the only visbile exit (the door). He waits listening while the others search or join him.

Listen check = 24

He reverts to carrying his axe and shield now that they are no longer single file on the stairs.

 

[hewligan]

There is a noise. Movement. It is not much, perhaps 1 person, and it quickly stops. but there is something inside.

 

[frostrune]

Jokad frantically waves to silently get his friends attention. he then points to his ear, then holds up 1 finger, then points to the door.

He then checks the door to see how it opens (swing into the current room or out) and tests to see if it is locked (he does not open it though).

Unlocked, opens into the next room.

 

[Rhun]

Danth readies his shield and scimitar, and moves into position to support Jokad when the warrior goes through the door.

 

[hewligan]

Do you want to go through?

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Danth is all for going through, but waits for Jokad to lead the way.

 

[Fenris]

Jovik heads to the door and holds a finger up to his lips. He steps carefully and quietly around Jokad. As Jovik makes his way up the stairs, Jokad and Danth can only hear the sound of their own breathing and the creaking of the tower. Jovik steals up the stairs so quietly it makes a shadow seem loud.

Natural 20 deserved some exposition

Jovik pauses halfway up or if he sees anything (like another door) to listen
