Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Strider_Koln]

Clover gritted her teeth at Koln's bubbly and oblivious demeanor. She smiled, grim and sarcastic, "Ah, la petite souris est-elle dans votre tête vous parle maintenant, Koln?" Then she shook her head.

Translation: Ah, is the little mouse in your head speaking to you now, Koln?

"Vous l'entendez aussi? Seulement lui? Les autres vont être jaloux. " He smiles and presses the lit button next to the elevator. "Going up... I hope..."

Translation: You hear him too? Only him? Aw, the others are going to be jealous."

 

[Strider_Koln]

"..." Koln starts mashing the button repeatedly since nothing appears to be happening!

Sorry people, been really tied up the past few days!

The small elevator rumbles to life and the doors open. The elevator is really only meant for 1 person so 3 is a tight fit, but since we're all friends here you all manage to squeeze in. The elevators controls only send it up or down and Koln pushes the button for "up" in hopes that it will lead out of the sewers.

After more rumbling and some discomforting sounds like grinding gears, the elevator stops and the doors open. You find yourselves in what looks like a storage room. It is completely dark except for the little bit of light pouring out from the elevator. The room is small with concrete walls and boxes piled against the walls. The elevator itself is on a risen platform with metal stairs leading down to the floor. There is a door at the northern end of the room and a hallway directly across from the elevator. You all think you can hear some kind of sobbing noise coming from behind the door like that of a child.

With your Heightened Senses you can see a switch on the wall beside the door. It is in the "off" position at the moment.

Here's the map.

Oh wow, could it be that we finally found the little brat... I mean Suzie!?!?

Stepping tentatively down from the elevator, Clover followed the sounds of the sobs to the door at the north side of the room. Standing before it, she placed her hands lightly on it, as though hesitating. But she could put it off no longer, because finally, after what felt like MONTHS (HINT HINT) it seemed like they were finally about to find something important. Or do something important.
Bowing her head, she held out her hand and clenched her fist. When it open, a single little hair ribbon was in her palm. She brought it to her nose, remembering the scent. Then, sniffed at the door to see if it was a match...

Yay for magic ^.^
Do I smell Suzie at the door? Do I? Huh?

Koln stops for a moment from consoling the upset door and looks at Clover quixotically. He notices her smelling the ribbon, and he decides to do the same thing, taking a big whiff.... and nothing. "OH, I get it, very clever Clover. You thought Satan was in that ribbon and you wanted to sniff him out, eh? Oh you are the cautious type.... I would have just shot it."

Koln has heightened senses, does he smell the Suzie's scent?

He keeps trying to comfort the door, softly petting it, (Spirits Touch) and in doing so accidentally bumps the switch next to the door, flipping it 'on.'

Touching the door you see a man carrying boxes shoving the door open to pass through it.

You think you can smell the scent of the little girl who owned that ribbon. It's hard to tell because there is a strong smell of soil and sewer too!
[/sblock]

As soon as Koln hits the switch there is a loud "click" and the whole room lights up. You can all clearly see the layout of this room and even the hallway across from the elevator because all of the florescent lights on the ceiling are lit now.

From the other side of the door you hear a squeak, almost like a mouse or rat and the sobbing is gone.

Ruby walks over towards Clover and Koln who were smelling the ribbon. "Is it a match?" she asked solemnly, her anger subsiding finally. She then heads towards the door where they heard the little girl. "Is anyone there? We can get you out.." she said slowly and reassuringly.
What's the door made up of? Would she be able to try to break it down?

"Is it a match? Er, no Ruby. It is a ribbon, you silly Amish Gangrel." He chuckles and hugs her tightly before returning to the door. "Hey I think the sobbing stopped..." Koln tries the knob... it's probably locked, but no one tried it yet.

The door is locked. It's made out of metal but it's a simple door that locks through the knob. The keyhole is on your side too. Judging from the feel of it and the fact that you can hear sound so clearly through it, it doesn't seem very thick.

"The door has stopped crying... now I wonder if it's ticklish. Time to make it laugh."
With that Koln begins to pick the lock.

I don't mean to ignore Ruby's attempt to break down the door, but first we should try this. It's quieter and if we do bash down the door we risk hurting the person on the other side. Yes, this is coming from the guy who tried opening a door by shooting at it, but I wasn't thinking clearly at the time and really wanted out.
