Knightmares of Khorvaire

Zook reenters the tower and moves to the staircase along the back wall, while Kolarred and Luthal stand guard outside. Kolarred goes silent for a few moments as he sends his divine essence forward to see if anyone evil is within range and passes the info onto Luthal.

Kolarred & Luthal:
Kolarred senses a pair of evil presences above them in the tower.

On the inside, Zook begins creeping ever so slowly up the stairs.
((Unknown Move silently check has been rolled))

Zook:
As you reach the landing of the second level, the breathing and snoring becomes a bit louder, as you can clearly hear the presence of one man asleep above you.

You also notice that the 2nd level's ceiling (3rd level's floor) is only half still in place. When you check it out, you see in fact that the opening goes all the way up through both levels above exposing the night sky clearly above. A quick glance around you shows that the staircase to the third level is ahead of you and apparently in good shape.

Zook sees a staircase in the back of the tower wall he silently gets to the second floor. He looks up almost every time he hears the snoring and hears that it must be above him in the third floor the not so good guard is sleeping. He moves carefully cross the floor watching out for rumple and maybe a trail in the dust indicating the direction of more occupied rooms and the way to third level. He did not notices that only the half of the ceiling is not there seeing a hole going strait up to fourth level and the stars above.
Maybe a quick escape route he think to himself and walk over to the staircase searching if it is in good shape hopfully not making a lot of noise or if it's trapped.

Zook glides over to the staircase to the third level and after a quick once-over... he determines that it looks safe to climb.

**********

OOC: Kolarred just so you know... Zook is currently out of sight of you and Luthal. Last we saw the two of you, you were both outside the tower to let Zook make his Listen check inside which allowed him to hearing the snoring. He's gone in and gone up to the 2nd level and out of sight. You're still on your horse outside and Luthal is standing next to you, and thus you both do not know what is happening with him at all (which is why both group's info was in spoiler text). And because of his Move Silent checks... you both do not hear him in the tower and do not know where he is.

If you want to follow along, that's cool... just make sure to write it out and tell me what you do with your horse and any precautions you do or don't make with your full platemail (because you're at a -5 for any Move Silent checks you try to make because of the ACP). Thanx!
 

Zook continues his way up to third level. He get up the staircase not making any noise and starts searching for the snorign person.
Maybe there's a not snooring guard here too.
He crunches down and inspect the third level making it at last to the snooring person. Zook will inspect the person looking for race, symbols and weapons.

OOC Sorry Defcon I just read Tor post and forgot that Kolarred wasn't aware of what he was doing.

Kolarred sensing evil upstairs stays on his guard waiting for the sounds of combat or the return of the scout.

"Hopefully Zook will be sneaky enough to circumvent whatever evil is inside"He thinks to himself.
 

Zook creeps up the stairs to the third level. He peeks his eyes over the the lip of the floor and sees what looks to be two figures lying on the floor, one of which the sounds of the snoring are coming from... the other seems silent (although the figure's chest is rising and falling rhythmically as if breathing). From where he sits, Zook cannot make out any major details of race or equipment, however he can tell they are lightly armored (if armored at all).

He cannot see a staircase to the fourth floor, although there seems to be beams and supports sticking out of the tower wall over where the gap is, so perhaps there was a staircase there at one point. When a slight breeze blows through the tower, he notices a rope hanging against the wall by the edge of the gap, which probably means the two guards had to climb it up and down to get from the 3rd level to the 4th level to keep watch.

Code: 
Here is the map of the 3rd floor level of the tower.
Each circle or symbol is 5'.

OOC: Just fyi... I am on vacation from tomorrow through Monday and thus will not be able to post during that time. If you guys post this afternoon, I'll try to get one final post up later on today to set us up for whatever happens next. If that includes combat, then we'll start combat next Tuesday and go from there. Thanx!

Zook will head back to Kolared and Luthal and report his findings. When i gets there moving silently "there is two guards both sleeping" "if we aproach we have to bee quiet and get them wile sleping" "Kolared cant you rake of your plate and sneak up with me and Luthal?"
 

"get them while they sleep?"

Kolarred whispers back.
"I will not kill these persons in their sleep, without knowing their crimes. These mens are obviously not guarding anything or they are doing a very poor job. Could we capture them and interrogate them instead?

OOC The joys of being lawful good. Oh well..
 

Luthal joins the whispered converstation. "Errr, Zook? I 'preciate yer, ummm... excitement at bein' able to take dese guys out, but I dunno about it right now. I'm with Kolarred on this one, but maybe fer different reasons. Maybe we can jump 'em and tie 'em up? I'd love ta talk to 'em, get some information. Whadda you think, Kolarred?"
