[LPF] Distant Relations

[Artur Hawkwing]

Audra looks at Yoshiki, listening. She turns her head back to the street when she sees the cultists moving back inside the River's Tears. She spots Inar and nudges Yoshiki.

Inar is there.

She points to him in case Yoshiki doesn't himself spot him. She turns and moves further along. She finds a mechanism and gives it a good, long look over.

I bet this controls the gate to the courtyard. Looks like it might require us both at least to open it. We should probably tell the others what we have found.

She continues eying the control to the portcullis.

Elenka rips off her robe and mask and tosses them aside.

"Not much more need for those, I don't think. Drevezh'korol is obvious enough and the robes won't provide any cover out there. I say we head out the front, find Inar and hole up for a while until we figure out what the next step is."

Drevezh'korol frowns thoughtfully at Quioan.

"I can carry that pack for you if it is too hindering..."

[Qik]

Quioan nods his appreciation at the towering wood creature. "That would be much appreciated." He pulls out the curing wand and tucks it in his waste band, then hands over his bulging pack to the eidolon.

"I second heading out the front gate. Let's get out of here."

[sblock=OOC]If Yo and Audra need help opening the gate Q'll contribute. Otherwise, he's ready to go. The ideal would be to isolate Inar from the crowd so as to not draw attention to ourselves.[/sblock]

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

OOC: Ideally yes, but if the gates of this place suddenly open would that send the panic of 1,000 charging rhinos through the crowd? That's why I had been hoping there was a recessed door or something for more discreet exit. But, I had assumed the time it'd take you guys to eyeball the stuff we'd found, a quick glance for auras, would give us time to check things out and report.

Audra heads to the stairs and goes to the bottom she finds the door waiting and steps out into the courtyard, waving to the others.

River's Tears is just outside. Was some kind of argument just a second ago. Inar was there. We found the way to open the gate, but it looks heavy. Yoshiki and I will try to open it, if you're ready.

Upon the all clear from the three in the courtyard, she returns up the stairs.

They're ready to go through. Lets see if we can open this thing.

She takes this moment to simply rip the rest of the robe from her body and toss it aside, the mask following with a grunt.

[sblock=ooc]Sorry if I am sorta ramrodding this. Feel free to tell me to reign it in. Including STR check here in case it's needed. Hopefully better than my CON rolls [/sblock]

 

[jkason]

[sblock=ooc]Sounds like most are on board with exiting via the gate, though I'll wait for a thumbs up from all before proceeding. Audra makes her STR check. Just need another DC 10 STR check from Yoshiki since you're working together to get it open.

[MENTION=6673727]Qik[/MENTION], Since there's a fairly big bunch of stuff Quioan's carrying, may just be easier for you to let me know what he keeps on his person.

Also, I still need to know how much of the various and sundry you guys are taking off the bodies on the first level, and who's carrying what and how.[/sblock]

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 4)

Having removed the robes while Audra was downstairs, Yo is ready to go when the other monk returns. He attempts to open the gate as well, but doesn't seem to be able to do much either.

[Qik]

[sblock=OOC]Q'll keep the wand of CLW and the potion of gaseous form on him, as well as his sword, arrows, and bow.

I agree opening the gate is a bit too attention-drawing for my tastes, but I prefer it to sneaking into the River's Tears, with who knows what going on in there.

Don't know if I can take 10 on the Str check - I'll roll in case I can't.

Edit: Nice, Quioan is ripped. [/sblock]
Seeing Audra and Yoshiki struggle with the gate, Quioan bounds his way up the steps to lend a hand.

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 4)

Edit: Nice, Quioan is ripped.

We just loosened it up for you.

 

[Qik]

OOC: Not with a 7 you didn't!

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

OOC: Um.. With a 7 *and* an 11. LOL

[sblock=JK]Audra is already pushing her carrying limit, but would not mind one or two CLW potions just in case they were needed. I vote we take the items with auras, maybe the rapiers (cash!) and potions. The wand might be good, too. Otherwise, leave the mundane stuff we can't carry. Speed might be more advantageous for us. That, of course, is subject to the rest of the party's opinions. And she's still interested in the brooch and ring [/sblock]
