Do we have a functioning OOC?

 The Spider and the Fly
A Fable

    by  Mary Howitt  (1799-1888)

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 38):

Yes, you can use the OOC thread.   Charlets web maybe.


The group heads toward the farm house, Bruga backs away, Kree is still standing there at he steps.

From the farm house you again here the dragging and thump as before more to the side away from the door as Kree figures out who ever is in there was by the door.

You here, Oh little one, the barn would not be the best place to go.  A slit his, more of you, oh I see them now.  what a fine bunch but my you all may not fit in the main living room, some may have to use the den.

No please come, come in, bring your friends in too the storm is going to be a bad one and being outside will be bad.

You hear the door lock unclick.

  Kree frowns  as he looks to the barn, He motions to Senuviel to come with Him, then to Maki and Clair, to speak with the...voice... Then  Kree  heads off at a jog towards the barn.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 40):

No no bad man, not the barn.

  Kree ignores the warning. He was going to see why..the barn would not be a good place. In their Village, BArns  were used  as Housing  for many-a-traveler ....unless..there was something inside, no one want folks to see..

  He  Spun his  bow in his hand  as he neared the doors, he stopped a few feet from the door  for Senuviel to catch up......Hail!...The BArn!...is there anyone in there?

Senuviel nods and follows Kree. He catches up with Kree at the barn. What's going on? Why all this fuss? Is there anyone at the house? The warrior/mage stops talking and concentrates on the checking job.

  the elf  speaks to his friend...the Voice..there  was a sound...whether   the person is crippled...or  shackled?..one cannot  tell..it asked odd things......I asked if we might shelter in the BArn...the Voice  says the barn is not good....when the Voice  saw the rest of you?..it  unlocked the door...but first?..I would rather   see what is in the barn...There has to be a reason,...if people are hiding from us in fear....then we needs get them to return to thier home. If...they are Hiding from us, because they are Evil..then...well..we killl them...if there is nothing in there..we can hole up in the barn..and leave some coin for the Voice  when we leave.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 44):

Clair, snare and Yenchew follow Maki to the house.


Actions?   i got Kree and Senuviel already :)

Maki aproaches the house and hears what Kree has to say. "If you think we aren't welcome here, then we better find something else fast." He said, not sure what to make of his words.

In reply to Maki (msg # 46):

As it darkens, you see lightning off in the distance.


The barn door is closed Kree and Senuviel.  You ucan hear normal sounds of animals.

Maki hears from the house a low sad wimper crying, oh my not the barn, do not go to the barn.  it sounds like a lady in distress in the house.

 Kree Looks at Senuviel.....the odds  are good..there is nothing in here , but animals....if so?..there is no need for them, or us to fear...if somehting  is hiddened here, that we are not  supposed to see...we will find that out now....either way?..I am Opening the door...Have your Bow ready..

 Knowing  most foes would think it safe, that and archer has no arrow nocked in his bow, Kree  keeps the Bow in his left hand, and   moves to the door..listening , even smelling as he does..

 if there is nothing  that may tip him off..he will open the door, but a little..enough to look inside...to make certain  no animals rush out...

Aye. Senuviel readies his bow.

  Kree opens the door to t eh  Barn, he looks inside without  stepping in...if there is nothing  odd..or worrisome, he  wil fling the door  open before stepping in.

Maki hasitates a bit, what to do next. He listens and waits to see what Kree will report.

In reply to Maki (msg # 51):

just awaiting Bruga's action before I tell the tail of a tale that is so barn good :)

Bruga drifts toward the barn but not in a direct line with the door opening.

(Have computer back.)

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 53):

The barn is veru dark, darker and spookier since the storm is rattling the barn heavily,  You enter enough to oadjust to the low light and see what looks like a barn.  Stalls on the left and right.  a section with barrels and a ladder up to the loft.   you cannot see in the loft.    You hear what appears to be the low sounds of chickens, ducks and maybe a horse or two neighing.


Maki, you hear a female whisper from the house, young man, you, the one that looks out of place dressed in armor against your friends dresses and so tall, come here please, the barn, no one can go into the barn, come here please.

  Kree stands there  a bit , his eyes  scanning the area as he holds his bow ready. He opens the  other door wider.

  Bruga?..if you are able...we need a light. Something ....sits not well here...

 a dark feeling   warns the Elf, or is it because of the odd  voice and the coming storm?... either  way, he was going to err on the side of caution.

Bruga obediently enters the barn door, sidling around a frame. He eases along a wall for three sidesteps and crouches.

Senuviel positions himself in a way he can cover Bruga.

Maki comes closer to the door of the house. "Ma'am we aren't here to cause any trouble. But if on the other hand there is something we should know about that barn... you should tell us. Maybe we can deal with it?" He asked, unshure what the big deal about the barn was.

  With Both Doors wide Open, Kree Moves  across from Bruga and steps in a Bit  as well, He Looks Up at the  Roof, and the loaf, to see if  anything is  amiss...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 59):

The barn smells like animals.   So far the entrance is OK, nothing you can see in the loft.   There are 12 stalls in all 6 on each side.   there are definitely somethings in each stall but you cannot tell where you are at.

Maki, a whisper again, lady halfling, my dear, may Tymora bring you luck and chance by stopping those entering the barn, if they do when the storm is at it's peak   and you hear a shiver, hell's gates will be opened and I cannot stop them form tearing you and making you one of them.

Quickly before it is too late.


Clair looks to Maki and Yenchew, Maki, what shall we do, the storm is upon us, if the voice is true Kree, Bruga and Senuviel are in trouble.

Clair calls out to the voice, lady of the house, what evil will there be?  why is it safe in the house but not the barn.


You hear back, the dead walk the farm at night when the storm is at it's fullest.  There is nothing alive in the barn but i am alive here in the house as too why they do not cross my threshold plus chuckle my own magical means.

"Are there really undead in the barn?" Maki said, questioning the voice from within the house.

From his experiance any kind of undead hated the world of living. The animals within would long be slaughtered, should any undead really walk around this place.

Still not wanting anything bad to happen, he called out "KREE, BRUGA WAIT UP!"

Within meer moments he was already by the barn's gates with his shield in one hand and drown weapon in another. "Let me inspect this place as well."

He began to slowly move around, trying not to upset any animals, but also trying to detect any evil within the barn.

 Kree nods  and Points to the Middle of the Door, with Bruga on one side, and Kree on the other...Senuviel backing them Up.

 As he moves slowly to the first stall on the Left, he stops now and again to look up,...something...sits not  right, here....we needs to try to put things...a right.
