Sandy Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 OoC: The door is locked from both sides?! Ellaria taps her lips. "The guards seem to have locked themselves in here. How peculiar..." "Hold on. There must be something we found that could help us move on." "Do you mean the guard roster?" Ellaria asks, taking out the slip of paper. "Best I can do so far... 1. Rio, 40, spear, common room 2. York, chiman, sword 3. Carson, 35, gnome, mace, roof 4. Milan, 25, man, axe, kitchen 5. Diego, 15, zombie, dagger, jail 6. Austin, 30, ogre, halberd, bathhouse " Ellaria listens to Atramor's deduction. "How sure are you of your list? Here's what we know for certain." Name: Rio | Carson | Milan | Diego | Austin | York Work position: Common Room | - | Kitchen | - | - | - (Roof, Jail, Bathhouse, Reserve) List position: 1st | - | - | - | - | 2nd (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th) Weapon: Spear | Mace | - | - | - | - (Sword, Halberd, Axe, Dagger) Wage: - | - | - | 15 | - | - (??, 25, 30, 35, 40) Race: Hobgoblin | - | - | - | Ogre | - (Human, Gnome, Chiman, Zombie) "I'm still unsure what good knowing any of this is." But... The heroes can hear a knock on the door! Upon hearing the knock, Ellaria shouts through the door. "Who is it?" Atramor and Russus look at her, terrified. "What? Maybe the knocker has the key."

Waterbrick Down Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 " Upon hearing the knock, Ellaria shouts through the door. "Who is it?" Atramor and Russus look at her, terrified. "What? Maybe the knocker has the key." Upon hearing Ellaria's voice Skrall holstered his crossbow. "Father Grogmas. Who'd ya think it is? Ya gonna let me in already?" Quote
Sandy Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Upon hearing Ellaria's voice Skrall holstered his crossbow. "Father Grogmas. Who'd ya think it is? Ya gonna let me in already?" Ellaria turns to the others, excited. "It's Skrall! Oops, I mean Garlin, of course." "Hey, Garlin!" she shouts through the door again. "We seem to be stuck inside this room. There were five guards here, but they were... umm, taken care of. We can't figure out how they get here in the first place, since the door is locked and they had no keys. We cannot find any secret entrances, either. Have you seen any sign of Zoe?" Suddenly remembering she has it, Ellaria takes out the Magic Compass and thinks of the female infiltrator. "Why didn't I think of this sooner?" she mutters to herself as she waits which direction the arrow points to. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 "Haven't seen her, but there's another door up here. Haven't seen any keys either and this door's too small for me to get my full weight behind, though I'd guess an explosive might do the trick. I could try the other door, I'm guessin' that's where they're holdin' her. Any exposed hinges on yer side that ya could try jimmyin' loose?" Skrall examines the door for exposed hinges. Quote
Pandora Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 OOC: Thanks Scuba! "One step closer to us finding some drink, Larry." Nyx casts two Light spells at Abe from the back row through her Zee's Standard.

Scubacarrot Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Ellaria and Atramor OoC: The door is locked from both sides?! Ellaria notices the lock has a double cilinder. It's quite something.

Sandy Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 The Compass points through the door they are all standing in front of. After getting a reading from the compass, Ellaria shouts through the door again. "Garlin! You said there was another door there, right? Because I got a reading from my compass that Zoe is somewhere behind you. Also, did you see a guard on the Common Room on your way up here? I'm thinking maybe he has the keys to this door. His name is supposed to be Rio." Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 "There's a guard downstairs, don't know if he be too ageeable to giving up his key." Quote
CMP Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Atramor examined the lock thoroughly and grumbled. "Double cylinder lock. You need a key on both sides. Unless they locked the guards in, there's a key in here, and a key out there. Or maybe just in here." With little other options, Atramor tried to pick the lock. Edited June 6, 2014 by CallMePie Quote
Sandy Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Ellaria peeks into the balcony to see if the cat is still hanging around. "[Are you still here, Mr. Silkywhiskers? Would you happen to know how to open that locked door?]" Quote
Zepher Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 "You can have as much or as little of the loot as you want, Nyx, makes no difference to me." Boomingham glances down the sewer. "Once we divvy it up, shall we continue? The others are probably worried sick about us by now." Quote
Pandora Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Nyx looks over the loot, especially the Bone Scepter. "Why can't he have been carrying something that gave the 'dead' second type? I don't know what to do with this. The paralyzing venom seems most useful, and it might be best applied to one of your weapons than mine, Larry - let me know if you want it. The rest of the stuff I'll cart around for now in case some of the others want it, and if not I'll share it out later, is that ok?" she shrugs, turning "Right, well, this is no place for either of us to be, so let's get the hell out of here. Onwards, old friend." Quote
Zepher Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 OoC: I should have gained 10 gold. "That paralyzing venom ought to go to Atramor, but until then, you hold onto it. Might I also trouble you, dearest, for one of your Phoenix Essences? I haven't got one of my own, and there's more security if I've got one as well. I'll repay you for it when all is said and done. But then, yes, as you said, forward." Quote
Pandora Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 "Fair enough, I'll give it to Atters then. And of course, you can definitely have one of my Phoenix Essences, because there's a very good chance you'll need to use it on me." Nyx winks and grins at Boomingham as she hands over a Phoenix Essence to him as they walk. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) My apologies for the delay! Ellaria & Atramor "Look. There's supposed to be A key. Not two keys, just one key, a key that COULD fit on either side of the door. That's what a double cylinder is. Focus on finding the key, okay? Wasn't one of the guards a Jailer? Jailers have keys, right?" There is no cat, there are no structural weaknesses, Atramor's lockpicking fails, he hurts his fingers trying and takes 5 damage. Nyx & Boomingham Nyx and Boomingham climb up the ladder out of the sewers, open the manhole at the top, climb out... And stand face to face with a figure that stares blankly at the two, covered in snake guts and sewer waste! Edited June 10, 2014 by Scubacarrot Quote
CMP Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Atramor grumbles. "Makes perfect sense, but I already searched all the guards for the keys." Quote
Sandy Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 OoC: If we're playing this by logic, all the guards should have a key to their resting lounge. Atramor grumbles. "Makes perfect sense, but I already searched all the guards for the keys." "Apparently you did not search well enough", Ellaria says, nudging Atramor with her elbow. She then goes to search the zombie guard for a key. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 Okay, can I assume you will not be completing the puzzle then? Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 OoC: I think the problem is that we don't know what the puzzle is. If it's related to the guards' schedule/pay/etc. then perhaps, but if it's a big game of hide and seek for the key than probably not. "Gettin' quiet in there." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 Find out who the jailer is with the clues provided, Find the key. I will never have you aimlessly search a room. That would be dumb. If it wasn't clear, you should have asked for clarification on what to do. I gave you the clues for a reason. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 OoC: Got it, give me a moment then. "If ya don't got a key, anything else in that room that might prove helpful?" Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Ellaria searches the Zombie, carefully, every nook and cranny, even lifts up a few flaps of rotten meat, and can not find a key. The heroes have one more clue, the Zombie is NOT the Jailer. Also, the heroes slide the clues under the door for Skrall to read(And Maxis who is patiently leaning against the wall). "Makes perfect sense, but I already searched all the guards for the keys." "Obviously you're not half as proficient as you think you are, 'Mr. Badass'. Look, you filed through their pockets, took their valuables, that's fair enough, but clearly they want to keep their keys safe. Now we can't go searching all of them like the lady did the rotting guy. It takes too long, it's messy, her fingers are all dirty with who knows what... These guards, are dirty and who knows what they're carrying with them, and I ain't talking about keys here. I should know. Search the one you're sure about." Edited June 10, 2014 by Scubacarrot Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 OoC: Not sure if this is intentional, but are we to assume one of the guards is paid a wage of 20? You have the wage of 40 listed twice. "Great, a spreadsheet." The ogre rolls his eyes. Quote
