PFS #51: The Shadow Gambit

[PeteZero]

Dogan raises an eyebrow, "he is here?" he whispers. "this looks strange", having a good intake on his surroundings.

 

[vl.arandur]

Harken, apparently coming out of nowhere, strides boldly forward and raps on the door. "Oy! Anyone home?"

 

[Helfdan]

Kalenth waits for an answer, keeping eyes and ears open.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Dogan hears something - sounds as though someone is moving around in the house. However, no one answers Harken's bold call, and Kalenth hears no sound from inside the home.

[sblock=Personnel Change]Keht's feeling a little overwhelmed with trying to GM one game and play in another, along with all of his RL stuff. He's asked to be dropped from this one, so it'll be the four of you (plus Kashka, of course) from this point forward . . .

I have everyone at full HP except for Dogan, who is four down - is this correct?[/sblock]

 

[PeteZero]

Dogan checks if the door is trapped.

ooc: he got healed for 9hp, he should be full too.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Dogan finds no traps on the doors.

(OOC: Got it.)

 

[PeteZero]

He then carefully tries if the door is lokced, and if not, slowly and quietly tries to open the door, which does not really work....

 

[Helfdan]

When he sees Dogan trying the door, Kalenth assumes the worst. He draws his sword, ready to rush in at need.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The doorknob turns easily. Dogan pushes the door open; it squeaks loudly, the hinges apparently not as well maintained as the rest of the home.

The door opens onto what is obviously the living area of the home. It is nicely furnished and appointed, but the effect is ruined by the presence of a body in the northwest corner (OOC: Body is in J9). . . the man lying there was plainly murdered. You can tell from the doorway that his head has been smashed in, and the body is lying in a pool of congealed blood.

 

[vl.arandur]

There are times in a man's life when he clearly sees two roads stretch out before him, his destiny hinging upon one choice. The Right and Proper and Good thing to do would be to go to the police... who would, this being a Kaeryat, arrest them for the murder with a farce of a trial, dispose quietly of the body, loot the house, and let the real murderer(s) get away without thinking twice about it. Or... they could take the law into their own hands.

The pondering takes perhaps all of two seconds, after which Harken turns to his companions and grins. "Well, folks, looks like we've got ourselves a new base of operations."
