Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Wrahn]

Concerned, Jossen attempts to see up into the attic over Maugra's head. Seeing no immediate threat, he will take the latern from her hand and place it on the floor of the attic. He will then offer his cupped hands and shoulder as a ladder for Maugra to climb into the attic.

"Be careful, whoever captured them is about."

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Vanden leaps up, gripping the floor around the trapdoor. He glances over his shoulder and down at Garnet, then pulls himself into the attic with the others.

 

[Erekose13]

Casting her light about, Maugra will move over towards the two who are moving to see what condition they are in.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

The first captive Maugra moves toward is a half-orc who looks somewhat familiar, considering he's covered in dust, bound, gagged and blind-folded.

 

[Wrahn]

"If this trapdoor was sealed from age, how did they get up there?" Jossen asks to no one in particular.

"Look for another way in." He calls up as he begins to climb up to the attic.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Jossen shivers in the cold breeze as he climbs up into the attic. As Maugra looms over the captives with her lantern, he sees faint dark marks on the floor that might have once been wet footprints, but which are now almost faded.

 

[Trollbabe]

Watching his allies ascend into the attic, Garnet is still overwhelmed with curiosity as to what might lie in the basement. "If its all the same with you lot I'll stay down here..."

"Probably best that way boy! I don't think you could make the jump anyways..." Garnet shakes his head trying not to listen to the voice rattling about in his noggin. He straightens his surcoat and lowers his spear as he leans against the hallway wall.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Leaning in the hallway near the stairs, Garnet listens to the footsteps creaking overhead. Through the door across the hall -- which has remained unopened until now -- he hears a soft rustling noise seemingly in response to the heavy footfalls overhead.

 

[Erekose13]

Maugra sets her lantern down on the floor next to the half-orc and begins untying him, starting with whatever is preventing him from speaking.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

As Maugra attends to the half-orc, Vanden proceeds towards the other struggling body. "I know little of ghosts," he says, as he tugs at the figure's bindings, "But I think it unlikely Coraithe would concern herself with captives. On the other hand, the innkeeper's journal spoke of sacrifices."
