Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Boddynock]

[sblock=OOC]Thanks, RA. I've just realized that Kel couldn't have read that sign - he's currently illiterate. (Funnily enough, Zaltan didn't rate education as a high priority.) But if anybody else reads it, he's happy to pass on the information you've just given.[/sblock]

Kel comes back to others and says, "It's no good. I just can't pick the lock. And there's no other way in. I guess the only way of getting in there now is to break the lock - and that'll be noisy. Still, if that's the way you want to go, then perhaps one of our warriors would oblige?"

(OOC: No other way in, eh? Read the description post again

~RA, who managed to hide the important details by that long useless section with the paint )

"Before we go breaking things," starts Blunt. "Why don't we have a look down that alley running between the two buildings. There's bound to be a service entrance."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*They check the alley and fail to see a service entrance. The only door to the warehouse is the big door in front.*

 

[Legildur]

Blunt scratches his chin at their lack of success. He looks up and spies the high windows.

"What about those?" he asks in a whisper, gesturing towards the high windows. He looks to see how easily it could be climbed (3 ranks) and whether the other building would be of assistance. "I'm no sneak, but I could possibly climb up there," he adds.
[sblock=ooc]Climb +7[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Blunt's appraisal is that the Climb is not easy (DC 25 for a rough brick wall), but he remembers his training and when he examines the alley, he realises that it is narrow enough that he could use the other building's wall to repel or brace between the two and make the climb fairly easily (-10 DC). Once on the roof, he could drop a rope to the others, at which point the climb would be a piece of cake (DC 5).*

 

[Legildur]

"It'd be tough, but I might be able to do it," says Blunt. "Then I could drop a rope down. As long as someone was there to break my fall (ooc: how high is the climb?)," he adds with a smile.

If Kel instead offers to go, then Blunt will allow that, otherwise he will grab a rope, spit on his hands, and then see what he can do.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: The warehouses here are quite tall, to allow for tall stacks of crates. In this case, your warehouses is 60 feet tall)

 

[Legildur]

Blunt gulps as he reassesses the climb - and the potential fall. "Maybe that wouldn't be such a smart idea after my recent injuries," he comments. "Unless anyone can think of a way to break my fall?" (ooc: is there anything in the alleyway that could be used?)
