Shackled City - Chapter II

[Mimic]

Althron looks at the pully system, trying to figure out how it works. "Interesting design, must be Dwarven work."

 

[hippocrachus]

Knowing full-well that the "elevator's" design was gnome in origin, Orpheus smiles inwardly at Althron's comment.
Leave it to a dwarf to be proud of a gnome unintentionally, he thinks to himself good-naturedly and with respect to Althron's point-of-view, as it used to be his own.
"The rune says 'D.' I doubt there is any other way to operate this without the proper key," he says, silently congratulating himself for rhyming without thinking about it.

 

[Majin]

Studying the lift more closely it can be discerned that in order to operate it, the pulleys must be manipulated manually. The door with the 'D' rune on it looks like any of the other doors in the ruins, and most likely is the elevator's "official" entrance.

 

[hippocrachus]

"Right. Or the pulleys can be operated manually, like our beautiful elven maiden said," Orpheus says, after the group starts to discern how the elevator is operated.
Not embarassed in the least about being wrong.

 

[kirinke]

Alinis grins at Orpheous. "Well, let's see if this thing still works, yes?"

 

[Verbatim]

Once the group figured out the correct levers and pulleys to operate, Zeric nodded in agreement and helped lowered the platform.

ooc: I am in Vegas for what is left of this week, but I will be able to post at least once per day. If anyone wants anything, now is a good time to let me know...

 

[Mimic]

Alinis grins at Orpheous. "Well, let's see if this thing still works, yes?"

"Aye lets get this thing going," he says helping lower the elevator.

ooc: Since your in Vegas play a hand of 21 for me.

 

[Majin]

It takes the lift about 1 minute to descend the 200 feet down and come to a stop. As soon as you can see into the room beyond, they notice four hobgoblins standing guard, weapons drawn, ready to intercept you.

Initiative:

Zeric - 23
Raven - 22
Alinis - 20
Elyas - 15
Hobgoblins (4) - 14
Althron - 12
Orpheus - 6

 

[hippocrachus]

Orpheus will position himself behind everyone else and attack with his bow.

[kirinke]

Alinis glares at the hobgoblins. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way," she commented, raising her bow, arrow ready. "Either way, we not let you stop us,"
She will fire as soon as she sees an opening, no matter what happens.
