(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[Vendetta]

Sel'Tarien's fantastic elven reflexes grant him the ability to choose on which side of the Portcullis he'd like to end up on, inside the room or outside the room in the hall where the group came from.

 

[Knight Otu]

(Oy. Inside it is, looking for a way to open that thing again. Probably not a wise choice, but that's Sel. )

 

[Vendetta]

Seeing the portcullis coming down, Sel'Tarien lithely steps inside the room. Jaeden too, steps into the room, though it appeared that he'd not make it for the briefest of moments. Unfortunately, Thomas, the priest, Gemble (who could have made it but chose to stay), Liam, and Krueger all came up short and are caught on the other side of the Portcullis. The dwarf quickly grabs ahold of the steel crossbar and begins tugging and struggling to lift it, but is unable.

"Wh...what now?" Gemble peeps out.

The room Sel and Jaeden are in is not very large, but there are two exits from the room other than the one they entered through. You came in fromthe north and there are corridors to the east and to the south... and you think you hear the sound of footfalls echoing every so faintly from one of those corridors.

"Sounds like company. See something to raise the portcullis?" Sel asks.

 

[Vendetta]

At first glance, Sel does not see anything readily available that could provide decent leverage against the portcullis.

 

[Knight Otu]

"Liam, think you can destroy it?"

 

[Vendetta]

((My guess is Liam/hafrogman is gone Or maybe its a subscription issue. I'm still hating that mess))

(He posted in the OOC thread after I poked him. Maybe he wanted to hear from youin that regard?)

 

[hafrogman]

Liam shakes his head.

"It would be faster trying to chip through the stone walls with your dagger. Steel is hardy stuff. I would expect there to be some way to raise this thing, a lever or switch. But we may not have time to search for it at the moment.

You two are the most at risk. Either we all stand and fight or you two run. We can stay here and see if our hosts will raise the portcullis for us in order to reach us."

 

[Vendetta]

For a brief moment, Krueger contemplates trying to chop through with his ax, but seems to realize that his ax might not be up to the task, and even if it were, would not be worth much as a weapon after.

Agreeing with Liam's assessment, Jaeden says to Sel, "You look, my friend, I'll keep watch." The bard pulls his rapier and steps forward a few steps to where the sounds are coming, which is now clearly coming from the eastern corridor.
