Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC02

[Leif]

As Capizzio presses the release, the linkages beneath the floor creak and groan from disuse, the door begins to squeak open, a thin film of plaster on the leading edge of the secret door breaks asunder, and a cloud of dust is discharged into the room from the top of the door. Beyond the door lies a yawning roughly-hewn passage of mystery that extends back into the darkness to the west.

OOC: Anybody seen Xavier/Lou? Does anybody have any info about the character he has in mind for when Xavier is returned to renau1g, shortly?

 

[Lou]

Xavier Zalev AC 14 HP 24/24

Xavier coughs and waves his hand in front of his face. "Shall we?"

OOC: I'm here, just haven't been feeling well, must be getting old!

 

[Leif]

OOC: Cool. Hope you feel better soon! IC update coming ths evening.

OOC: Nah! YOU'RE not old. Now, DeWar, HE'S old!

[sblock=How Old Is He?]You're just, what, 43 now, Bro? I seem to remember you having a January birthday. Am I even close to right? Ooops! Now I'm thinking maybe it's February, so that would mean you're ALMOST 43, huh?[/sblock]

 

[Scott DeWar]

"Yes, lets see where this rabbit hole goes."

 

[Leif]

Sorry, guys, the next update is going to involve a good-sized map that's gonna be pretty tough to make. And I really don't feel like messing with it tonight. It may be a few days before I get back on track. Again....sorry.

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

She stands ready, bow in hand waiting for the dust to settle and her eyes to adjust to the dimness beyond the door.

 

[Leif]

OOC: OK, I'm ready to proceed now. There's just one small problem: I've already drawn much more on the map than you'll be able to see, so, once I get the map posted, you'll be on your Wizard's Honor to play along as if you only had knowledge of the area your character can see. I won't post the map quite yet, because behind the secret door is just one room. For now. So, we'll just do this one room without a map. There's not much to it, trust me.

IC: Behind the secret door is what remains of the keep's torture chamber. [And you didn't even know that Lord Kyle would permit such treatment!] Anyway, there is a dismantled rack and iron maiden, and a big pile of rusted chains and manacles near the south wall. Tylara's super-sensitive elf nose, and manny's widdle nose as well, detect no odor of hobgoblin spoor in this room. Actions?

OOC: That sounds just like the last room. Is there anything else?

 

[Leif]

OOC: Ooops, my bad, I described the last room.

Take Two:

IC: The secret room holds only a small, locked cabinet.

OOC: Anyone care to try to open the lock?
