Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Erekose13]

"Alright, Ewan. I'll walk you to the door to make sure there is nothing outside. Can you make it to your place in your condition though?" offers Maugra.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

"I've lived on these streets all my life, Maugra. I will find my way."

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Vanden hesitates outside the door. Now, on the brink of a possible confrontation with Longcoat, he finds that he isn't quite sure how to proceed.

He turns to face the others, holding up two fingers and pointing towards the door. Then he spreads his hands in a "what now?" gesture.

 

[Trollbabe]

Taking a preliminary glance down the passage, he turns to the lantern carrying Garnet. "There is just a short hallway here, it shouldn't take us long to look it over. We can check out your discovery afterwards."

Agreeing with Vanden, Garnet lifts his lantern and follows to the other passageway. He lifts the lantern high trying to give his friends as much light as possible.

He turns to face the others, holding up two fingers and pointing towards the door. Then he spreads his hands in a "what now?" gesture.

Garnet grins at Vanden... "Usually we open those things."

 

[Voadam]

Garn nods at the motion for two. Garn holds up a finger for one, gestures to the left, then to himself then gets his morningstar ready to rush in and club whoever is on the left of the two inside when Vanden opens the door.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

The eunuch nods, looks at the door.

[sblock=ooc]Does this door look like it opens in or out? IE- what side are the hinges on? Vanden will test the handle quietly, to see if it appears locked. If not, he'll swing it open wide for the half-orc, then rush in afterwards.[/sblock]

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

The door appears to open out into the room beyond, away from the group. Vanden gently pushes on the handle. At first, the door does not appear locked, but it stops moving a second later, meeting some sort of obstruction mere millimeters after he begins pushing.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Vanden hesitates as the door sticks, quickly glances over his shoulder at the others, then- decision made- bullrushes the door with his shoulder.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Vanden backs up and rushes toward the door.

And bounces off.

The crashing sound causes the voices on the other side to shout in surprise, and one in particular is loud and clear enough to hear.

"Ollom's bladder! What sort of idiots did Ferrid send for this meeting? Get out of that damned haunted inn and come around through the sewer!"

When Vanden looks around to recruit Akilu to smash down the door, he realizes that the darfellan, like Grant before him, has gone missing.

 

[Trollbabe]

"Ollom's bladder! What sort of idiots did Ferrid send for this meeting? Get out of that damned haunted inn and come around through the sewer!"

"Sewer!" Bluffing, Garnet yells back at the door. "No way were here open the door so we can do our business and get on with it!"
