Pathfinders of Pelligrew's Pinnace [IC 01]

[Maidhc O Casain]

Mustapha and Leaf move off to the West to inspect the next room, and Mustapha rolls one of his glowing vials across the floor. At the same time, Lerissa utters her query and moves over to inspect the glint on the floor. She finds a stoppered bottle on the ground at the skeleton's side.

[sblock=Mustapha]I can't remember the radius on those 'light bombs.' Do you recall?[/sblock]

 

[grufflehead]

[sblock=Let there be light!]
I don't think it was very much, something like a 10' square, possibly with dim illumination in the squares round it.[/sblock]

Lerissa

Lerissa beds to pick up the vial and quickly looks up to see if anyone is still in the room with her or if they all moved on to the next room, in which case she will quickly pocket the vial and move quickly to catch up.

 

[HolyMan]

Leaf turns at the comment but not seeing an enemy or any other danger decides to keep his eye on the unknown area ahead, instead of seeing what Lerissa is speaking of.

Cautiously he enters the doorway that leads to the other area and looks about, while listen for any sounds of activity.

[sblock=OOC] Perception + 7 wow been a minute since I've been to OP. [/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Leaf hears no sounds of activity, nothing but the softly shifting grain.

OOC: Map below (above?) remains accurate for Mustapha and Leaf. Lerissa can see everything in this map from her new position.

 

[mleibrock]

OOC - The stairs in each corner that go up and down, can we tell from the room we are in if there is anything up there or do they just seem to go up and down for no reason?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The stairs go up only. It's a good bet - given the vents in the ceiling - that the chambers above are the primary grain storage and that the grain is dropped into wagons down here for transport to different locations in the city.

One moment crouching and peering into the newly lit room, the next the Brass Man stood up as if afflicted by a sudden dose of cramp.

'Aiey!' he exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air. Turning to Leaf he said urgently 'in all the excitement I completely forgot: something we should look at'. Spinning on his heel, Mustapha strode back across the room, holding one of his light pots to illuminate the way. He returned to the spot where he encountered the first of the skeletal figures and put the glowing vial on the ground. He got down on his knees and started to examine the area scorched by his bomb. 'This fellow was in the process of dropping something into the grain supply when I chanced on him. Can you look at the bodies of the others and see if they had vials or some other containers on them or dropped nearby? If they were poisoning the grain, we might be able to identify the residue more easily than trying to find it in the grain itself'.

[sblock=XP for HM!]You can dock me XP for needing a prompt to remember. Oh wait, we're not getting any! Yuk, yuk, yuk [/sblock]

As Mustapha passes Lerissa in the doorway she moves to the side to make room for the big man, curious why he's changed direction so abruptly. When he crouches next to the skeleton where she recently picked up the vial a smile begins to pull at the corners of her mouth. She puts her thumb and index finger of her right hand to either side of her mouth while her left hand moves to the pocket where she placed the vial. She them exhales quickly and an ear-piercing noise is emitted. When the brass man looks her way, she will wave the vial back and forth, taunting him. "No worries, I got your back."

Abraxis quietly walks back around the other way, to peer through the doorway into the southwestern chamber.
