"After the lights go out and Father O'Malley recieves no response from Lt. Poole, he begins to pray again, this time in a hushed voice to also hopefully provide some comfort to the others in the room."
"O God, Who knowest us to be set in the midst of such great perils, that, by reason of the weakness of our nature, we cannot stand upright, grant us such health of mind and body, that those evils which we suffer for our sins we may overcome through Thine assistance. Through Christ our Lord. Amen."

Where is this door in relation to Father O'Malley and myself? IE, could we hear it from our dungeon?
But other than the curtain on the far wall from you the only entrance you know about is the front door of the Ju-Ju House. [/sblock]

Jack and Jibril
Opening the door, Jack and Jibril see what looks like the back of a wooden curio cabinet. That’s why you didn't see this door when you where in the Ju-Ju House earlier. The inside of the Ju-Ju House is dark and you don't hear any noise. It shop appears to be closed for the evening. You both push the cabinet aside and you enter the shop. The shops oppressive feel is multiplied ten fold with the feeble light provided by the match. The deep shadows and the African curios take on fantastic and frightening shapes. The match in Jack's hand burns down to his fingers and he has to quickly drop it or be burned. He fumbles in the darkness and finally lights another match.
OOC: It is about 7:30 PM.

William and Father O'Malley
[sblock] OOC: Are you doing anything else? If not I am going to fast forward time about 3-4 hours. Your hands are starting to go numb from tight leather cords. Lt. Poole remains unresponsive. In the darkness and quiet of the room, William thinks he hears a muffled crying or moaning. It is very faint and he only hears it a couple of times. If William points this out to Father O'Malley, he hears it too.[/sblock]

When there is a match lit, Jibril looks around the room, to see if it looks basically the same as it did during their last visit, or if there a re signs of a struggle. He also look for any other exits from the main room here - including behind other curio cabinets, under throw rugs, etc.

"What in the world?" William hisses. He nudges Father O'Malley with his foot and points out the sounds to him. "Possibly another who's fallen prey to these murderous devils."
OOC: Can I tell where the sounds are coming from? BTW, where does this put us timeline-wise with Jack and Jibril? About concurrent, before, after?

[sblock]OOC: The sound is coming from the center of the room. You remember that there is a large circular stone block with a iron ring in it's center and a block and tackle hanging above it.
After being in the cellar for about 2 to 3 hours you have caught up time wise with the others. At the time you notice the crying, Jack and Jibril are breaking into the Ju-Ju shop above you. [/sblock]

Jack and Jibril
Looking around Jack sees that the floor in the middle of the room is slightly wet and several items have been moved round since he was here a few hours earlier.
Jibril does not find anything out of the ordinary until he checks behind the counter. Under a rug on the floor, Jibirl finds a trap door.

"Al-Hamdulallah," Jibril breaths. "Ya Jack...over here," he says quietly, pointing out the trap door. When Jack comes over, Jibril gets ready to open the trap door slowly, and from the hinge side - so that he is not visible to anyone who happens to be directly underneath. He waits for Jack to get his gun ready before actually opening it however.

"Just a second." Jack replies in a loud whisper as he bends down to touch the "wet" on the floor. After making a mental note of the changes in the arrangement of the room, he'll walk ever to Jabril while sniffing his fingers and trying to identify the wet stuff.
((Jack suspects blood... he always does. If it is, he'll show Jabril under the light of a matchstick before deciding to open the trap door.))
