An Unchanging Reality (Take two)

[Man on Fire]

"I'm not good for a fight either. We need to get some weapons, anything."

[meemaas]

As you speak, you hear something crashing to the ground above you, and breaking, followed by a couple of people yelling at each other. They seem to have not heard you, and you hear the voices get quieter, as though they moved away from you.

In case your wondering, the sounds of the yelling go the opposite direction of the stairs.

[Man on Fire]

"We have no time to waste. Dromet and you...whatever's your name." Serp approaches his friend and unknown large man. -[clor="Blue"] "Could you try to rip off the bars from the doors? At least for you two?"[/color]

I meant doors of our cells.

[Thattaman]

I'm pretty sure I can summon him, Naram. Do you want me to do it now?

[emeraldemon]

Naram: Yes, summon him now. I'm not sure what's happening up there, but it sounds like maybe the distraction that we need!

Trying to rend a bar from the cell. Strength (1d20+4)[21]

"This will be fun," Dromet says.

[meemaas]

Dromet successfully removes one of the bars from the shoddily made cell, without the bar in place, one of the supports falls too.

Eophyn

The young elven maid looks at the rest, "Sounds like they are moving away, maybe we should check what's going on?" she suggests.

[emeraldemon]

Naram looks around at the others, hesitating for a brief moment, and then opens the door and starts moving up the stairs.

[Man on Fire]

Serp stops Naram.
"Wait, I'll scout ahead. I'm slim and quick so I can easily avoid any attacker." Says Serph and starts moving slowly and silently up the stairs, watching to not be heard.

As the two sneak up the stairs, past Naram, Serph accidentely steps on one of the steps the wrong way, and it makes a short but loud squeak. Eophyn skips past the board without setting it off, and the two make it up to the end of the staircase, where another door lies. There is no light shining through the bottom of the door, and they hear no noise on the other side of the door.

[Man on Fire]

Serph tries not to look too embarased about the steps. Would master Prat see it, he would kill his favorite studend. With laughter.

In next room Serph looks around, trying to see anything they could use as weapons. He slowly and quietly moves towards the doors, and tries to overhear if there are any voices on the other side.

And another Percpetion as he tries to overheard any sounds through said door [roll1d20+4[/roll]

EDIT: Sorry, I misunderstood the DM - I thought there is another room at the end of the stais, with doors next to the wall, and we're in it - ignore that first percpetion roll about finding weapons.

Listening, you can't hear any kind of noise on the other side of the door, it sounds as though its dead as night in the room.

Should you enter the room, you will find that it appears to have once been a bedroom, although now taken apart, its hard to identify as such. The only noticeable thing in the room, is a half open chest, that upon a glance, appears to contain the gear you all were captured in.

[Man on Fire]

Serph enters the room, glances around, then turns back to Eophyn.
"Call the rest." He says and moves to pick up his gear.

Eophyn

She grabs her blade and slings the sword belt over her shoulders. "You sure? The others might not see in the dark like us," she says. She grabs Dromet's things and heads down stairs.

Once there she hands over Dromet's things. "Its dark up there. If you can see without light go on up. It's clear. If not wait here before we move on.

[stanleyindraven]

"Thanks E, Guess I'll gear up and wait for the signal," Dromet says as he drops the bar and dons his gear.

[shugyosha]

Eophyn

Before she heads back up she asks, "Does anyone else need their stuff?"

[emeraldemon]

Naram replies, Yes, that would be terrific!

[emeraldemon]

Naram goes up the stairs to get his gear.

I forgot gnomes could see in low-light :(

[meemaas]

As the party has geared up, they can now tell that it is late evening. A door nearby lays wide open, to small bedroom with two beds in it. The window beyond shows the night sky, it is the night of the new moon, and the surrounding area appears to be lightly forested, but not heavily. Should you attempt to open the window, you will find that it refuses to budge. Aside from this bedroom, there is one other door out from where you came, but no light can be seen beyond it.

[stanleyindraven]

"So, shatter the window or try the door," Dromet whispers to the others as he stands at the top of the stairs in the darkness.

Eophyn

Eophyn begins to rummage through the bed room looking for clues to who their captures were... and any loot.

The only thing you can turn up from the search is a small handwritten letter from an unnamed girl, addressed to someone named Richard. It's a pretty sappy love letter, with little usable information.

The moment you try fiddling with the door, you find out that it opens immediately to your touch, and in fact was never locked nor barred.

After searching the room she goes back to the stairs and calls down, "Dromet, the coast is clear."
