St. Caspieran's Mission [IC]

[AggressiveBread]

Rodriguez rubs his hands together ”Looks like we’re going in hot boys and girls. Get ready.” He will stand in front of the door and begin casting a spell.”Don’t you know it’s rude not to answer the door for guests!”

Spoiler: OOC

Rodriguez will target the door’s locking mechanism with shatter. If that’s too precise he will target the whole door instead.

Spoiler: Rodriguez

Yes, a doorknob is a component of the door as a whole object.

Rodriguez gives a loud shout after casting a quick spell, and the door shudders, but does not break, bend, or splinter.

What now?

Ozlech

When the door doesn't open, Ozlech will say, "Anyone else want to give it a try?"

[lostsole31]

Okay, what now?

[meemaas]

Visto starts trying other doors while the others keep focusing on this one.

[lostsole31]

The next door along the south wall is likewise locked. But we have to observe a sense of time so ...

Back at the "active door" next to the one Visto is trying. Now what?

[silphael]

Probably not strong enough to break one of those doors open, Eric points his lance to it anyway.

"Should I ?"

[bcool999]

Ozlech

Looking between Eric's weapon and the door for a moment, Ozlech uncertainly asks, "Poke a hole in it? You can if you want to, but I think sending a kick would be more effective for opening it."

[AggressiveBread]

Rodriguez steps back from the door to get a running start.”Hang on I’ll give it a go, Apophis, Eric, give me a hand will you?” Rodriguez will then begin chanting and charge at the door full force to shoulder it open.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Rodriguez will begin his raging song before making the first attempt.

[lostsole31]

Only one other can really get in to aid, and Eric is already there. Assuming Eric takes the raging song as well, the two men throw their bulk against the door, bursting the door off its hinges. The room is empty except for a stained mattress and a burnt-out candle at the window.

[bcool999]

Ozlech

After breaching the door to the room, Ozlech looks around, mostly at the window, to see if anyone might have escaped the room.

[lostsole31]

The three men in the room can't determine when someone last used the room, or if the window was used. Looking out, behind the mission sits an overgrown courtyard surrounded by a low stone wall. A path leads through a rusted iron gate and up to a pair of boarded doors. A lone oak stands in the corner. But that is down below.

[meemaas]

Assuming enough time has passed, Visto will check the next door.

[lostsole31]

Assuming you want to check all doors on the same hallway, Visto goes back west to the end of the hallway to the door on the north wall. The sign on the door reads: "Mission Bell."

Visto does actually open that door. This small, octagonal room has open beams, unfinished walls, and raw floorboards. The room is quite drafty, with scatterings of rat droppings about the corners. Set into the studs of the west wall a crudely spaced ladder leads up to the belfry. Otherwise, even with low-light vision, Visto can see no more than that.

[meemaas]

Visto will head up the ladder to see what is up there.

[lostsole31]

It's very dark, though there is *extremely* dim light that is the external. But Visto can tell that the steps he is on is in some kind of structure going up to something open air. but he has to move half-speed so he doesn't fall or hurt himself.

[meemaas]

Continue up the ladder to the end. If we need to wait on passage of time, so be it.

[lostsole31]

Down below with everyone other than Visto. What do you do next?

[bcool999]

Ozlech

Seeing that his inspection of the mostly empty room has served to garner no results, Ozlech will follow Visto to see what he is getting up to.

[lostsole31]

Ozzy sees the door, now opened (as described above) and goes into that area, with Ginny following. This small, octagonal room has open beams, unfinished walls, and raw floorboards. The room is quite drafty, with scatterings of rat droppings about the corners. Set into the studs of the west wall a crudely spaced ladder leads up to the belfry. This drafty chamber rises 18 feet to a loft. High above, the mission’s copper bell hangs from a thick beam. A rope pull cord allows the bell to be rung from here.

Meanwhile, back in the empty room, what do Rod and Eric do?

[silphael]

Following Visto, Eric really doesn't want to break anymore doors around here.

[AggressiveBread]

Rodriguez grumbles to himself and follows Eric out of the room”Hey Apophis, keep on watch will you? Make sure this guy doesn’t get past us if he hasn’t already. He will stand near knuckles, keeping an eye out for danger.

[lostsole31]

Just so the group understands. Visto and Ginny (the raven) do not see in the dark. With no candles in the belltower, that is a danger issue, though point of order ... nobody sees Visto anymore.

Visto, do you light a sunrod? or, does anyone else begin a light source?

[meemaas]

Yes, now that he's sure that there's no light, he'll light one.

[lostsole31]

Eighteen feet above the others, a very bright light flares.

Visto, a bell riddled with faint cracks hangs within this drafty loft, a rope pull cord dangling through a hole in the floor allowing the bell to be rung from below. Slatted arches in the tower’s walls allow sound to escape, while keeping most of the harsh weather out. The waxy stumps of several candles, a coil of rope, and a metal grapnel lie discarded upon the floor.

[meemaas]

Does Visto think he can get outside from here without going back down the ladder?

[lostsole31]

Why are you asking me? I am not your PC's resourcefulness. There is no obvious way, if that is what you're asking.

[bcool999]

Ozlech

Spoiler: Ozlech >>> Ginny

"Going up to take a look Ginny, Fly up if you think you can safely, otherwise keep an eye out down here."

Ozlech moves to the ladder and begins to climb it.

[lostsole31]

Spoiler: Visto

Visto is in the darkness, and hears someone coming up the stairs.

Please see the belltower description I gave to Visto in the above post. Meanwhile, Visto is standing up here.

I wanted to know if it was obvious, I just worded that poorly

Visto calls out to the stairs. "Who is coming to see Visto?"
