Malvoisin's Curse of the Crimson Throne, Chapter 1: Edge of Anarchy (IC)

[Rhun]

Does it look like there is enough room below for Gadeann to wield his poleaxe?

 

[Malvoisin]

Gadeann joins Coldan in the bunkroom, and takes a few minutes to ransack the place. He looks under the matresses, and indeed, within the mattresses, slicing them open with his dogslicer. The lanky Shoanti knew that there must be more in this place, some evidence of Lamm's activities.

Further evidence is not to be found in the bunk room. Gadeann makes a tremendous mess of things, but finds only a few none-too-clean personal effects; nothing of interest or value. Disappointed, the duskblade goes down to the fishery floor to rejoin his fellows.

Does it look like there is enough room below for Gadeann to wield his poleaxe?

From here, the space below looks a little cramped to Gadeann's eyes. He thinks he could still use his poleaxe, but it might be a little more difficult than he'd prefer.

OOC: I'm going to hold up a moment, because I'm still not really clear on who might be attempting to climb down into the hold, and who might be heading outside and around toward the barge behind the building. Clarification, please?

 

[stonegod]

OOC: Coldan has no plans to drown himself. He'll go outside and try to board.

 

[Legildur]

Edlin moves to follow Coldan and board the ship from outside. There is no way he is climbing down to some place where Gobbleguts lives!

 

[Rhun]

As Edlina and Coldan move to check out the boat, Gadeann calls to them. "If you find Lamm, save a piece of him for me."

Turning back to the others, he nods at Girri and Orman. "I believe I'm strong enough to lower you down." The the Shoanti smiles, a crooked, unattractive smile. "Unless the two of you want to try to lower me down. I'm fine with goin' first."

As Edlina and Coldan move to check out the boat, Gadeann calls to them. "If you find Lamm, save a piece of him for me."

Turning back to the others, he nods at Girri and Orman. "I believe I'm strong enough to lower you down." The the Shoanti smiles, a crooked, unattractive smile. "Unless the two of you want to try to lower me down. I'm fine with goin' first."

"One at a time, I think. Lower me down and I'll see if it is safe. If you are lowering me I can have one hand free for my blade." Orman will grab onto the rope and enter below, looking for areas that Gobblegut or others could be lurking.

 

[Rhun]

Gadeann nods at Orman, lays his poleaxe down, and picks up a length of hempen rope. He wraps the rope around the bannister of the stairs for extra support and then braces himself to lower the swashbuckler down into the bay.


STR 16; Max carrying capacity is 230lbs; Not sure how you will rule, Mal, but Orman should be well within Gadeann's lifting and dragging ability.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Girri watches Orman grab hold of a rope and, braced by Gadaenn, lower himself over the edge of the hold. Grabbing the tail end of the rope held by Gadraenn, Girri helps the Shoanti lower Orman. Weakened by illness and starvation, Girri's muscles quiver with exertion and soon tire.

Aid another, if possible. Strength +0. If nothing I'll befalls Orman, Girri will ask Gadaenn to lower her in next. Dagger +0 melée, +2 ranged.

Quintel...Karastro Quintel

As the others begin to tie off the rope and lower Orman down, Karastro peers into the depths ready for Gobblegut, whatever he may be to burst from the water. "I'll stay up here until I know you are safe. I'll then join the others outside."

[sblock]readied action for crossbow shot at any hostiles.[/sblock]

 

[Voadam]

Orman gets a good grip on the rope and peers about down below to scout out its dangers.
