The captain had boosted the gnome over a wall, and then she and Phlox had climbed over themselves. They were, for a moment, trapped in a small yard. They could not go back the way they came with the blights there which left them three exits: One was a short door into the building to the north (not the direction they wanted to go); two was a gate made of iron bars that led to a secluded (and for the moment, unoccupied) lane, but was locked with a chain and padlock; three was a grated drainpipe, stuck in the dirt but large enough, and ought to lead toward the sea."What now, do you think? asked the Captain, not knowing the area at all.[ooc][USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER] & [USER=15132]@Steve Gorak[/USER] ; 1) dc12 STR to force the door to the building, failure will make a lot of noise & waste time; 2) dc14 DEX (thieves tools) for the gate's padlock, or dc12 STR athletics to climb over, but the gate has iron spikes at the top, so failure will result in 4 piercing damage. (Failure on the lock has no consequences but wastes time). 3) dc13 STR to dig out the grate. Failure will result in 1 level of exhaustion & time wasted. Overall, you're relatively safe, but can potentially be left quite far behind the others.[/ooc]</blockquote>
