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

[Legildur]

Blunt groans quietly at the thought of both having to lower Kel again, and having to climb down. Climbing down was more stressful than climbing up. But he nods his head in agreement, knowing that they can't leave the rope there.

 

[Shayuri]

Sulannus nods, though seems a little worried. "I'm not particularly schooled in stealth," she warns, "though I'm not usually TOO loud."

She glances down at the broken window. "On the other hand, if anyone is in there, they may already know something is happening." The elf shrugs and slips her bow back in its case. "At any rate, I am ready whenever you all are."

 

[Boddynock]

Kel nods decisively. "Right, then let's get going. You lot keep a lookout. If anyone comes, stamp on the roof and we'll lie low. If the guards do come snooping around, you'd better haul the rope back up. We'll whistle if we get the front door open."

"Sulannus, wait for me to go down and set up the rope. I'll climb down the inside wall a bit, then uncover the sunrod. Just as well, it's getting warm! When you see the glow, start to follow me down. Hopefully by then I will have made it to the stacked crates and can steady the rope for you to follow."

He moves cautiously to the edge, swings over the side and goes down hand over hand until he reaches the window, at which point he flips the rope through into the warehouse and climbs through himself.

(OOC: Just making sure, but this time he's climbing instead of being tied and lowered? I'll be at Gencon for a few days, so updates may not occur for a bit)

 

[Boddynock]

OOC: Yep, he needs to be able to jump across from the rope to the crates, so tying himself off will just get in the way.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Okay. No take 10, but Kel auto-succeeds, so not an issue)

*Kel climbs down and leaps to the stack of crates, stirring dust as he grabs the edge and nearly pulls the crate down with him but manages to scramble quickly to the top of the stack. Fortunately, he is not injured by the jump.*

Lifting the sunrod high, and pulling the rope taut to ease things for Sulannus, Kelloran takes the opportunity to examine the warehouse interior more closely.

(OOC: Wait, pulling the sunrod out up here, only ten feet below the window level? That might alert the guards. Admittedly it could help him scout the area below too. Let me know, and I'll roll to see what happens either way )

OOC: Do you mean he could see well enough without the sunrod's light to jump onto the stack of crates?

(OOC: Yep. He already knew where it was roughly from before and could guess based on the hazy shadows and the distance)
