Under strange stars

[Someone]

Basically; think on them as boxes put side by side, forming lines of 10 boxes long, two wide. You can only enter or see into them through the doors, which are wooden and seem to be solid enough (though it´s difficult to say at your height); and you can tell they (the doors) have small barred windows.

Note also that there´s a lot of cells.

(it may seem strange, but I´ve seen those cells in at least two fortresses (sp?) here)

OOC: So basically each cell is its own building? Like european peasants would have one room hovels?

Menghil reaches out to grasp the invisible gnome that is floating somewhere near him. He moves his hands down to hold onto Jagra's hand and forms it into a pointed finger. He manipulates the hand to tap Jagra's chest and then points it to one side of the cells. Then he taps his own chest, still using the gnome's hand and points it at the other side of cells. Then he waits for some sign that the gnome understood.

This is the best I can do (see picture). But note that there are many of those 20 cell buildings; each one is somewhat more than 20 meters long and 5 meters wide.

Razeem

Razeem, who doesn't know anything about the invisible sign language between Menghil and Jagra, whispers very quietly to them (OOC: I assume, currently noone is close enough to hear a whisper), "I start looking from the furthest prison building from here."

If the others won't object, the mephit starts moving towards his target. He uses cover to keep himself out of open spaces as well as possible, despite being invisible. He moves to the first cell door and peeks inside with his darkvision and keeps repeating the same procedure as he moves along trying to avoid the guards at the same time.

(There must be a couple hundred cells; you can count the exact number, but it would take a little time. Please specify what cells do you search first, though there´s little variety: those that have guards near, and those that have not)

 

[Ashy]

Jagra manipulates his hand so that it is within Menghil's - he then gives him a "thumbs up" sign. The gnome then moves to the left side of the cells (which was the one indicated to him) and begins looking in each of the windows. He tries to steer clear of the guards as much as possible.

 

[Zerth]

(OOC: As mentioned, Razeem flies to the furthest building from the group and begins searching there. Naturally he will stay away from the guards as well as he can.)

 

[hafrogman]

Menghil flies to the nearest door on his side and floats at the level of the barred window, looking inside.

[ooc - Menghil will float along the series starting with his nearest. He won't touch the ground or cells unless he has to. If the guarded cell is on his side, he will check it as the rest, but attempt to quiet his breathing and movements as he goes past. Move Silent +6]

Jagra:

Spoiler

You start searching, cell by cell, looking for an old man like Zosimo described. Is not difficult to avoid te guards, as those among the buildings don´t move at all -one of them just complains about having to be at this spot all the night- and the other sentinels don´t move around the cells and just move outside the compound. A couple minutes pass, but you don´t have any luck

Since you can´t see each other, use the spoiler tag while writing your replies.
