[LPF] Expansion

Audra eyes the door.

That sounds like a good suggestion, once Ariel is ready. Speaking of being ready, anyone got a torch, or another of those glowing rocks? I'm willing to bet there isn't a readily accessible light in there.

"I have two torches, but since I need both hands for my slicers, can someone else hold them?"

Saktouk Bekloric, half-orc monk

"I have two torches, but since I need both hands for my slicers, can someone else hold them?"

Saktouk nods. "I dinnae have much need for light, but I can hit a thing with my feet as well as my fists. I can carry the torch if ye need, lass."

Veniarus says to Kalius "Toss me a sunrod please." too which Kalius opens the saddlebag at his side fishes around for something and pulls out a long slender object from within it and tosses it to Veniarus at which point Veniarus says "I believe this will take care of our light problems. No need to waste a Torch. So long as we stick close together." meanwhile Kalius moves over to the door and begins attempting to open the thing.

The door moves a little bit but is still frimly stuck.

"Come on! Put your back into it, like this!" Megan grabs the door and pulls with all her strength.

After a few seconds, "I think...I might have sprain something..."

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

Audra watches the effort to open the door and sighs. She turns to Ariel.

Guess you wouldn't mind watching our backs? Here, give me a grip too!

She steps into a spot where she can get a grip between Kalius and Megan, wraps her fingers around the edge of the door and attempts to use her body weight to help lever the thing open. Stubborn as ever, she digs her heels in, closes her eyes and pulls for all she is worth, groaning with every faint creak of the door.

[sblock=OOC]You know, we're going to feel real stupid if someone else walks up, brushes us aside, and just pushes the thing open, noting its a push door, not a pull.[/sblock]

 

[DalkonCledwin]

Kalius ready for another attempt pulls on the door attempting to loosen it yet again. and only gets slightly further than the last time he attempted this.

 

[VVilhem]

Megan grabs Kalius's back and pulls. "Arrrrggghh!! Cortessa's jugs!! OPEN!!"

OOC: Back to low rolls again. At least we're not in combat

It takes a few minutes to open the door as the vines and uneven stepping stones combine with the recent rain to make the task more challenging it first appeared. Eventually, you manage to get the door open enough to get through, though it's a bit of a squeeze, and the amount of light on the stairway inside is limited. You can see down a 30' stairway that seems to open up into a larger room, probably the chapel, but the light doesn't let you see any details. The walls of the stairway and the stairs themselves seem somewhat cracked, but not nearly as bad as the stonework outside. You can see where a small stream of water poured down the stairs, slowly disappearing into the cracks and dirt below. You are really hoping that nothing is down there that could have been alerted by all the noise you made.

OOC: Marching order please.
