The Four Lands - The Great North

[Scotley]

Bertrand

The Ranger stays with the manicled prisoner for now.

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston replies in a clear voice, "There has been a murder on the upper deck. We are investigating all leads. Please open your door."

 

[J. Alexander]

A surly voice responds to Anniston's demand "Who are you...are you a ship's officer"

For Finnian
[sblock]Still engaging his senses Finnian get the strong impression of the need to stall for time, the need to hide something....the need to straighten up....[/sblock]

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston tries to open the door and enter the room.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian

Maintaining his concentration on the ones in the room, Finnian quietly relays what he is sensing to his companions.

"There must be some things rather incriminating to them in there. They are stalling until they can get everything hidden.
"I believe I heard them throw the lock earlier, but we need to get inside there now before they can hide everything."

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston whispers back, "Them hiding something is not my biggest concern. We can keep them confined and search their cabin later. My main concern is that we stop them from commiting some criminal act. Of secondary concern is that given time they may be able to destroy evidence. For these reasons I feel there is value in questioning them now if it can be done without damage to property."

Loudly and firmly Anniston answers the challenge from the other side of the door, "A man has been killed. I am acting in accordance with my sworn duty as a Knight of the Dominion of Light to protect inocent life and to investigate violations of the law. I ask you again to open this door."

Anniston tries to open the door and enter the room.

 

[Rhun]

Vadric draws Warsong and raises the blade high, ready to cut through the lock of the door at Anniston's signal.

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Hearing Finnian's words, as Anniston reaches for the handle, Jaroth intones a spell: Aprire!

[ooc: Jaroth cast a knock spell]

 

[Rhun]

Vadric smiles and gives a nod of thanks to Jaroth, as he hears the door unlock. "Quite handy," he says quietly. Making sure his companions are ready, the warrior-priest kicks open the door and moves into the room beyond.

The party pauses for a few moments then as if at some signal Vadric and Anniston kick open the door before them. In response to their effort the door is thrown violently inward with a loud crash and splintering sounds. Standing in the doorway both Vadric and Anniston see three men somewhat starlted standing around a small round table.

The older one in a shocked voices says "You have no right here sir, get out before i call the
Captain"
