Sandy Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 "Alright, just blurt it out", Ellaria says to the guard lying on the ground. "What exactly is the other way inside? A secret door, maybe? Remember that we can always make you just scream for help and have your friends come out to see what the fuss is about." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 "A ladder merchant? Don't be ridiculous. I was just going to say, the grating on the window is old, the plaster crumbles while you stand here. If you can climb up there, you can probably get inside from the window. Can any of you climb?" Quote
Sandy Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 "So we just need someone to climb through the window and open the door from the other side for the rest of us." She looks to her companions. "Any volunteers? I would do it, but this dress doesn't make for a suitable ninja gear." Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 "So we just need someone to climb through the window and open the door from the other side for the rest of us." She looks to her companions. "Any volunteers? I would do it, but this dress doesn't make for a suitable ninja gear." "Quite understood. Anyone ever here of the legendary ogre ninjas?" Quote
Pandora Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Nyx smiles happily as she listens to Ellaria being tough. "Ok, so it sounds like a fireball isn't going to sort the door out, but it might just do something with the old window. I'm not great at climbing in these heels, although I'm not too bad. Let me try something first, I have to try to blow something up." Nyx stands back a smidge to get the angle right and aims a fireball directly at the window from where she stands on the ground, figuring that either the window will blow out or it'll attract the attention of the denizens within. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 Nyx spends an ether throws a fireball at the window. It explodes at the window with big combination of sound, smoke and heat. Nothing particularly interesting happens. The grating seems to be slightly more unhinged than it was before. One thing is certain. Any people that are inside are now SURE to know that they are coming. Quote
Zepher Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 "Well, now we just have to act fast." Boomingham turns to Atramor. "It's you or me, boy. Skrall, lift that ladder onto your back, get it as close as you can." Boomingham sips on a mead for comfort and strength and then begins to climb the ladder. Once at the top, he assesses how close he is to the window - can he reach it and haul himself up? Quote
CMP Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Atramor shook his head, following Boomingham up the ladder, leaving McCafferey to perch on one of the many wooden plugs sticking out of the building. "Careful not to bust a hip. I could use a heal, too, I doubt they'll let us open the door just like that." Quote
Zepher Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 "Look at Ellaria. It's the least she could do making us climb up like this. I was hoping to catch a few z's before we left the basement but Purple didn't seem like he was too keen on the idea." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Atramor and Boomingham can just make it on top of the ridge by the window. They can touch the grating, and possibly pull it away and go in, but once they do, there is no going back. What do Boomingham and Atramor do? Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Skrall holds the ladder up and lets the other heroes clamber over him. Once they've gained access to the top of the window he mentions, "Perhaps a smoke bomb or two to cover yer entrance?" Edited March 19, 2014 by Waterbrick Down Quote
Zepher Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 "Toss one up, Ogre, and I'd be extremely grateful. Haven't got any of my own. And Ellaria, a heal please first, I can hardly concentrate on keeping my balance as it is." Boomingham turns to Atramor. "What do you say, boy? Are you prepared? I say we go for it." Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Skrall tossed a smoke bomb up to Boomingham. Quote
CMP Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Atramor gulped down a Mulled Wine. "Aye. I have a thing for hilariously one-sided odds." Quote
Zepher Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 "Seems this whole city does." Boomingham catches the smoke bomb and wheels his arms frantically, trying to keep his balance. Once Ellaria heals them, he leads the way inside. Quote
Sandy Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 "Oh, we should probably have taken a restorative nap back at the safehouse, but I didn't realize you were so severely injured. You hide it so well", Ellaria quips as she heals both Boomingham and Atramor. "Now up you go!" Quote
Pandora Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Nyx spends an ether throws a fireball at the window. It explodes at the window with big combination of sound, smoke and heat. Nothing particularly interesting happens. Nyx spends an ether throws a fireball at the window, nothing particularly interesting happens EXCEPT a big explosion of sound, smoke and heat. Nyx grins away, a slightly glazed expression taking effect. She sighs contentedly. "Well I feel a whole lot better." she focuses on the climbing figures and calls up to them "Hey guys, don't forget to open the door when you get in there." Quote
Zepher Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 "From the sound of things, we'll have to if we want to keep our heads. After me, boy-o!" Boomingham plunges through the window... heroically, hopefully. Quote
CMP Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Atramor jumps inside after Boomingham. Probably far more stylishly. Quote
Zepher Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 OoC: I'm sorry, this is actually from a while ago, but my Tome of Affluence should have granted my ten gold at the end of the last battle! Quote
Scubacarrot Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 Boomingham jumps down. Unto what seems like the second floor of the building. His eyes start to adapt to the sudden darkness he finds himself in... As Atramor jumps in too! The floor cracks, and a moment later, both heroes crash through the floor. Before they can get to their senses, they hear a snigger, and then a female voice: "Nice entrance." Quote
CMP Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Atramor stands with a grimace, pulling off his hat and shaking the sawdust and splinters out of it before stuffing it back on his head. "Thanks. I try to leave a lasting first impression." He then adjusts the sleeve of his coat before pulling a Smoke Bomb out of it, dropping it and kicking it right towards the Wolfgang ballista...gunner...guy. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 Atramor's smokebomb fills the room with smoke, and fireballs, bolts and arrows start to fly in Atramor and Boomingham's direction. Likely they have a short amount of time before the smoke clears through the crack in the ceiling the two heroes went through. They see they are standing in front of the door of the warehouse. If they want to let their friends in, this is likely their best time. Quote
CMP Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Atramor wheels around now that there's cover from the storm of projectiles flying his and Boomingham's direction, opening the door as quick as he can. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Everyone please check if your inventories are correct. Atramor, with Boomingham's help, manages to quickly pull off the heavy bar that blocked the door from opening. Quickly they slide the door open, and let the rest of the party in. With the door open, the smoke quickly disappears, and everyone sees what they're up against. The enemies have built up some kind of barricade, they will have to fight through the enemies, if the heroes want to get past. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!
