Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Trench]

"Can't be any worse than what's in here," Ada replies. She searches the area to see if she can find the source of the smell.

As Ada begins to look for the source of the rotting smell, there's a metallic vibration, first one, then another, then another. She turns to see all the knives stuck into the table top vibrating violently.

Maugra nods and offers to open the door should the rest want to bust through and attack anything beyond, or just to be helpful.

"I sent him home. He was no good to us if we are going to continue exploring. He has given us all the description of Longcoat that we'll get and after all he's been through, I thought it best to let him have his way." replies Maugra.

Garn is dumbfounded "You what? Gods woman, he's the only one who heard Longcoat talk and could ID him by voice. He could've told us if either of the two in the room were old short and longblade. And for all I know he was lying and is Longcoat himself doubling around to get the jump on us after pulling on your heartstrings. You let him have his way. Gaen's light blind your eyes."

When Maugra gets the door ready Garn is ready to fling in his wine bottle at anybody on the other side, hopefully catching them flat-footed.

Ada watches the knives for a moment before raising her shield. "Right. Bad Idea. Check. Keep your shield up paladin!" Ada shouts. She backs away slowly holding her shield in front of her considerable bulk.

(Total Defense. Just is case. Against... cutlery.)

Maugra reaches forward and yanks open the door.

Upstairs, a knife rips itself free of the table and hurls at Ada. The knife bounces off her metal shield hard enough to make her arm ache.

"GET OUT!" a woman's voice screams.

Downstairs, the replacement door opens to reveal a rectangular room with a recessed antechamber to the side. Etched into the stone floor is a crude pentagram surrounded by various sinister-looking arcane symbols. Tall candelabras line the outer portion of the room, but their tallow candles are cold and unlit.

"Shield up?!"

Jarem brings up his shield and moves to assist Ada (although he probably gets to the door as she's backing out).

"GET OUT!" a woman's voice screams.

"Ada, who's in there?"

 

[Trench]

"Ada, who's in there?"

"An angry knife!"

Ada keeps backing away and ducks behind the bar when she reaches it, motioning for Jarem to do the same. "Some spook's territorial," she snarls.

Jarem ponders the bar for a moment, then steps into the doorway, shield raised. "Hello?"
