Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 9831769" data-attributes="member: 2012">Round Ten Starts Here![HR][/HR]Tim watches as the ironwood staff falls past him. He continues to climbs on the opposite side of the ladder until he is past Gattas and then deftly switches over to the other side of the ladder above the spy and then pulls himself up into the Gate of Scale's guard house. He is forced to go more slowly but easily pulls himself up.Ako watches the staff fall. He waits to see if Rockhorn or Custodio catches it.The staff seems to be aimed towards Custodio, but the Vanquisher cleric chooses to hold up his shield and deflect the ironwood weapon towards Rockhorn.The weapon has great heft to it and its ends are shod in a blueish metal that is etched with fine arcane symbols. The staff itself is carved with strange runic symbols that appear to be... dark in nature.The dwarven beast heart adept quickly rush to the door and jams the obviously magical staff into the handles of the double doors. Custodio moves alongside Rockhorn while reaching into his haversack and pulls out a long silk rope. He begins to loop the rope through the handles an staff and attempts to tie the rope tightly. He nearly ties his own hands to one of the door handles and the resulting mess of rope makes no difference.He turns to Akos. "Take the other end! Tie it to the ladder! If we can pull it tight, we might be able to keep them at bay!"The vanquisher cleric tries again to loop the rope through the handles but is having no luck. "Gods! Muck it!"A moment later, the psionic phrase on the door glows brightly and then vanishes. Someone from the other side of the door turns the handle on the other side, which comes up against the staff. It weapon tilts from the force coming from the other side. It would have slide out of the handles if not for the metal-shod ends.The door opens a crack. Rockhorn can see the vampire on the other side of the door, trying to pull it open. Rockhorn tries to hold the weapon in place and pull the door shut again.You all hear a loud order from the other side of the door. "HOLD!" Kellam orders.The vampire glares at Custodio and Rockhorn while trying to hold the door open, but it doesn't try to reach through at them. Rockhorn can see that the wight is standing right next to Khagron. It snarls at the wild dwarf but doesn't attack."Exemplars! I offer you a chance to save this traitor's soul," Rockhorn hears the Loyalist commander yell out, but all he can see down the corridor are one of the Loyalist soldiers, an undead creature who was once the soldier Parch, and a large creature that looks like another other one of Phelix's horrors. It stands in the corridor, roughly 80 feet away from the double doors, passively. It looks like it is breathing heavily, if its heaving could be called breathing.Rockhorn is sure he can hear it growling, but it sounds more like gurgling.[OOC]Rolled a 4 for Custodio's Use Rope check.[USER=87106]@MetaVoid[/USER], roll an opposed Strength check -> d20 + STR bonus + Small size modifier.
