Mad Schemes IC thread ( Chapter I )

[Tsumeken]

The door rattles opens a you push it and run up upon the twho still blinded rouges who continue to fumble on the floor, they hear your approaching footsteps and jump as they cover themselves with there hands, "Stop! Stop! We surrender!" The two continue to move around while they shout

[Cogidubnus]

Asher

"Stand still! Now! What're you doing here?" Asher then proceeds to call the guards in to arrest the 3 men.

[monkman]

Belnan pushes one of the rogues on the floor saysStay still and then does that with the other one

[Lightbogart]

There are still others in the building we have to be careful or we might get ambushed. *to the thieves* How many others are there?

[Tsumeken]

The men stay still as they wait for the guard to come to arrest them. "We, we were just following orders we have to bring people in or else-" He gets no further as he seems to be wracked with pain, falling a flailing on the ground before dying, the same happens to the =m each in succession, like toys being discarded after growing weary of them. The bend and break, and the are no more.

[monkman]

Dammit, all we know is that someone higher up is controling them. Find the cleric, if he's still alive,question him

[Lightbogart]

Well that is unfortunate I will scout upstairs

You guys go ahead and loot

[monkman]

He takes there weapons and look if they have anything of value

Upstairs

Spoiler

From the second floors most immediate attraction is the large 10 ft hole in the center of the room, marked by a rope that could serve as an emergency route to the first floor the upstairs itself is a 40'x 50' x10' room, the main occupants being rates which are stacked rather precariously. Through the windows you can see the street below.

The Cleric:

The cleric has also suffered a similar death, upon closer inspection a small tatoo can be seen on each of the victims necks, it seems to be a symbol of some sort and they most likely did not kow it as more then decoration.

Loot: (this includes the 2 men defeated before the door was opened to save the woman.)

5x daggers, 1050 gold pieces, 1 strange looking holy symbol, 1 inch long piece of metal, 2 potions of cure moderate wounds, 3 thunderstones, 1suit of hide mail, 2 rings, and 1 scroll of Flame Strike

[Lightbogart]

I claim my share of the gold and the thunderstones. If that is alright with you guys.

How many people are there for us to split gold with?

[monkman]

can i claim one ring and the scroll?

[Tsumeken]

((I believe that there are 7 of you sinc Cobble is a Gondsman and doesn't need gold so. Gold divided fairly among everyone =1050 / 7 = 150 gold a person, also none of these items are identified right now since you just claimed them if they are magical. or if anything someone an be designated as the carrier right now and then everything gets divvied up later))

I vote we split all the items once we've finished with this place. We need to explore and find out where they went from here.

~Diana Tallis~

Diana hissed. The light was still there. She figured if she was going to get anywhere, she'd have to manually force her eyes to work. She slowly began blinking, her arm lowering as the spell's effect lessened to her eyes. Finally she was able to see and she did see that the people just fell over and screamed in pain. It was... a weird sight to see. How exactly it'd happened, she wasn't sure, but it seemed like they were somehow being controlled. This is getting more and more interesting.... She thought, sheathing her scimitar away before slowly standing up at her full height now. Though the spell's effects were gone, she wanted to ensure they would as she held her hands out to her sides to maintain balance, lest she dared fell in front of all these men. As she remembered her main reason for coming here, she began searching upstairs upon seeing there was such an available route to go. Damnit... I wasn't too slow again, was I? She really hoped not... if she had just had to suffer a Daylight spell only to be forced to have missed any hints... she'd figure something out later. All she knew was she wouldn't be happy at all.

~Diana Tallis~

Diana turned upon hearing another voice... and saw Baltimore. She slipped the 20 gold she'd found away in her pockets and sighed. No! I can't be late again! Aloud, however, she merely took a deep breath before managing to look over to at Baltimore. "You must excuse my behavior as of late. I know I've been insanely quiet, almost as if ignoring.... though I'm not trying to give that impression if I am." She looked back down, trying to search again, figuring her results had been due from the Daylight spell still bothering her a bit. "But...I am just.... really focused on my goal right now and I don't want to have come so far only to have found nothing." She explained whilst searching.. As she found a piece of cloth with runes written on it, she tilted her head. Nearby it was a small blue gem. The runes were familiar to her and it made her smile as she began looking at them herself, trying to translate it. In case of emergency... look through glass? Is this a joke? She wondered, frowning slightly before pocketing those away as well. It might make more sense later... but for now, the fact she'd found something written in her native tongue was proof enough she hadn't been too slow.

(OOC: *sigh* Makes mental note to not preview when trying to roll as does it offline* 19. For those who don't know, Tsume is able to tell me my results because we're married and live together.)

Dorvan & Cobble

The priest of Gond sees that the inside has been secured and begins circling the building in the air looking to see if anyone is rushing to the aid of the rogues or perhaps trying to flee the scene.

Cobble stands guard in the doorway as Dorvan requested, staying there as he hasnt been given another order since then.

On one of his passes by the building, Dorvan calls to his companions,

"So, whoever had the stone...is it doing anything?"

[Tsumeken]

((Light said he wanted the stone so heres the resul
the stone is only slightly glowing, indicating that the object it is linked too is not here but it is nearby.

[Ragnoth]

Theroar stands in the middle of the warehouse casting his eyes around the room. He looks about checking for any doors or any other ways of entering and exiting the main room.

So what excatly has everyone found and has anyone found any doors at all, this can't be all there is to this place.

[dark_scarab]

After comforting the captive girl and calming her down as much as possible, the Baron followed the other adventurers into the warehouse. After their alarmingly easy defeat, the Baron has a feeling that there's more to this hideout than meets the eye. He begins searching with the others for secret doors and passages.

I can't understand what you're trying to tell me. Also, no one is trying to intimidate corpses, just searching them.

~Diana Tallis~

Deciding that for now, it seemed Baltimore either wasn't in a talkative mood or something more important was on his mind, Diana merely nodded to herself as she got up and bowed her head, but made sure her hat remained on. She then headed downstairs, sighing inwardly as she looked and saw the Baron. "Find anything interesting?" She asked, her hands crossing her chest.

Bren goes to this compartment and checks for locks or traps and then if none are present attempts to open the compartment

Dorvan & Cobble

The cleric continues his aerial surveying watching for anyone taking especial notice of the goings on around the warehouse and anyone trying to slink away.

His automaton stands resolute in the doorway ready to bar the entry or exit of anyone who was not among those his master identified as "friendly".

[dark_scarab]

Looking at Diana with a wry grin on his face, Baron Uldred scuffs with his foot at some dust on the floor revealing a cunningly hidden trap door. "Here... take a look at this. A trap door most likely giving the Suns a bolthole to a safehouse or maybe even their HQ. I imagine that if we were to ask the paladin to come over here with the stone, its glow would intensify if we brought it closer to the trap door."

The Baron frowns as he notices the others are not on the first floor and that the bodies of their slain have been thoroughly looted. "If we can get the others away from their...grisly work. Not that I mind the gold, I just prefer my victims to be alive when I take their money. It's more satisfying that way."

[Cogidubnus]

Asher

"Believe it or not, Baron, I prefer them to be alive as well. Death is always an...unsatisfactory conclusion. I will call Baltimore and ask him if he can test the stone. Baltimore, might I ask you to come here a moment? Asher calls up to the first floor.
