Sinking Ever Deeper [IC] (HM Judging)

Zoryk Wolfheart Lvl 1 Elemental sorcerer

Looking around him, Zoryk moves to one of the walls to checks it's composition and then bends down and does the same for the floor. "We were hired to take care of those bodies, which is what we should do to begin with, I could burn them if someone has any oil or something else flammable." Stopping himself as he looks at Drev.

"Present company excluded of course." Finishes the young sorcerer

[sblock=OOC] is the room made of stone?[/sblock]

 

[SelcSilverhand]

Zoryk's light illuminates the room enough for the others to see as well.

You are in a large room with wooden floors and sagging walls. A large mound of debris and bodies mark where the floor started to collapse. The smashed remains of a wardrobe lies nearby. You see a boarded up wooden door across the room from you. Above you the ceiling was nearly 20' up and now a tangled mass of wrecked walls and floors hangs precariously balanced.

In the light from Zoryk's dagger you can see something glinting amid the remains of the wardrobe.

You turn your skilled eye up to the mess of dangling boards above your head. Judging by the lean of the walls and the precarious balance overhead, you think it would be extremely dangerous to attempt to climb out this way. If any of it is jostled the rest could come tumbling down to crush everything below it.

[sblock=OOC] is the room made of stone?[/sblock]

OOC
[SBLOCK]
No, the walls and floor are made of wood. The floor feels waterlogged. The walls are a mix of plaster with wooden backing. You think that the floor would be okay. However there is no place for the smoke to go if you started a fire large enough to consume the corpses.

"Ay, me axe can get us through dat door." Fulgrim replies. "Just give da word."

Fulgrim looks up at the ruins of the floor above with the others, nodding as Temarel notes that ascent would not be easy. "Not thinkin' up is da way out, least not up dat way."

Fulgrim gives a half-hearted laugh at the suggestion of burning the bodies. "Do ye see a chimney hole up dere? Ever seen a fire lit in cave wit no chimney? We'd be smokin' ourselves out fer sure. I am thinkin' we look fer a way up through dat door." Fulgrim replies, pointing the head of his axe towards the door.

Zoryk Wolfheart Lvl 1 Elemental sorcerer

Cursing his inexperience under his breath, the young half-elf composes himself, he moves besides Fulgrim. "Whenever you're ready Master dwarf."

With those words Zoryk turns inwards, realizing that danger could very well come through that door, the sorcerer breathes in and readies himself to draw upon the powers of his bloodline.

Vincenzo is looking around, mainly up as he answers Fulgrim,"Here is my word on the matter. I was taught engineering by my grandfather's best friend's nephew and if there is one thing he taught me is that this is an unsafe wall to climb. We would do best to exit before the room above finishes crashing down. Climbing out is hazardous at best." He stands now looking at the door with confidence in his face. (showing through the dust).

he draws his rapier, scowls at it and then asks, "does any one have a crowbar?"

Give me a strength check DC18 to break down the door by hand or deal 15 points of damage (Hardness 5, so take 5 points off every hit).

[IronWolf]

Fulgrim nods at Vincenzo's observations "Den door it is." Fulgrim replies.

Fulgrim moves closer to the door and waits to make sure the others are prepared for whatever might be on the other side before acting. He motions for people to give him a clear path to door, walks up, pushes on the wood a bit and then moves back about ten feet. "Ready?

When the companions are ready Fulgrim keeps his axe in hand, lowers his shoulder and runs towards the door, throwing his shoulder into it to break through the boarding. Fulgrim's heavy body hits the door solidly and the wood creaks with slight splintering sounds but holds fast. Fulgrim stands and looks at the door, kicks it solidly with his boot and walks back to his original starting spot, grumbling something under his breath in dwarven.

He eyes the door for a moment and makes another run at the door, launching himself slightly just before hitting it. Fulgrim crashes into the door with a little more momentum than before, the wood bows under his shoulder as it finally gives way in splinters. Fulgrim works to slow his momentum, covered in wood splinters, stumbling slightly as he tries to rapidly withdraw back to the doorway holding his axe at the ready. "Door's open.

[sblock=OOC]

Fulgrim will wait until the party is ready and prepared before breaking the door down.

[Tark]

A crowbar? Oh! I think I have one of those. Fidgeting in his backpack for a moment he pulled a long length of steel with a crook at both ends. He had a small smile as he held it out that quickly disappeared as fulgrim took his boot to the door. "So no on the crowbar?

Putting it away with a mild look of disappointment Sauvressa tensed and brought her other hand to her glaive as the door crumpled beneath the dwarf's efforts.

Zoryk Wolfheart Lvl 1 sorcerer

Seeing the door break on Fulgrim's second attempt, Zoryk tenses, he feels the elemental force inside of him stirring to such a degree that he has to counciously keep it under control not to lash out by reflex.
