In reply to Airis Moonshadow (msg # 659):

There are no windows, as you are below street level.
A pair of odd iron keys are in a fold of the obi previously worn by the dodomeki.
The starlings fly out into the hall, but are pecking at you all. Anyone with less than 2 DR takes 1pt of damage.

The large chest has a number of areas that look mobile, but you aren't sure where to start.

The chest on wheels has not been examined.


Down the hall is a red lacquered double door with iron detailing and reinforcement.

Iskander stands up, his armor protecting him. He readies both weapons.

Chou-Zhen begins to lash his lightning whip at starlings when they come in reach (which covers a good sized space, given the two yard length of the lightning whip).  His armor wards off their small beaks, but they're annoying.

[Private to GM: 18:53, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 10 using 3d6.  Lightning Whip, roll to hit. (11 -2 for small target = 9).]

Ales holds his shield up in order to block the starlings, with his armor providing some protection from them as well.  Unable to get a handle on the meteoric iron puzzle box, he slowly moves over to wards where the chest on wheels is stationed.

10:36, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 13 using 3d6 ((3,4,6)). (traps 12+1 *invoking attentive*)

Chye approached the door, and took his time checking the frame, hinges, and even the space underneath, and between the adjoining door, and repeated this, on the other side. He was looking for traps...

Ales slowly looks over the chest on wheels, looking to see what he could discover about it.  To him, it seemed a little out of place, but what did he know about these things?  But if he could get into it, there might be something useful inside that would be useful in completing the mission...

(OOC: 17:21, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 13 using 3d6.  Perception 13.)

"Let's not try and figure out how the puzzle works, or we may be here longer than is prudent, in the given circumstances. We ought to break the chains loose, and take both chests intact, after we check out this last room!"
Iskander said, as he attacked the flock.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 669):

The shrieking of the bird creature no doubt brings reinforcements. Gather what you can, and I will take that."
With a grunt, Jin hoists the wheeled lockbox under one arm and ducks around the starlings. His face is bleeding in several places.

Iskander returned to the bones and pile of silk, he'd poked at and retrieved the odd key.

After verifying everyone is out of the counting room, Chou-Zhen will close that door and begin moving back toward the casino.

OOC: How wide is the hall?

Ales follows the group out.  "I have a solution for that noise."

Ales tries to cast a spell to cover over the noise of the birds, but the noise is too great.

(OOC: 14:44, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 8 using 3d6.  Sound (14). Roll passes.

14:41, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 15 using 3d6.  Sound (14). ROLL FAILS.)

After waiting a few minutes, Ales tries again, and this time, he is able to cast the spell he wanted, a mimicry of a busy resturaunt above, to distract any of Akira's goons in the next room.

The Silver Jade Palace

Chou-Zhen moves near where the hallway opens into the main casino room, flips his whip forward, and speaks a word, with no effect.  His queue switches violently for a moment, then he repeats the word.  This time, a wall of darkness closes off the end of the hallway.

"The birds might be held by this.  Chye!  Did you not hear Jin?  Let us leave here as quickly as we may!  Step confidently through the darkness,  all, it is as insubstantial as a shadow."

Chou-Zhen leads the way, pulling a vial from his vest and swallowing it as he steps through the darkness.

[Private to GM: 18:53, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 15 using 3d6.  Darkness, roll to cast (15 - 2 for spells on -- Haste and Lightning Whip).
18:54, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 11 using 3d6.  Darkness, roll to cast (15 - 2 for spells on -- Haste and Lightning Whip). 2 yd radius.
Drinks one vial of paut.

Chye was aware of what was going on around him, as he focused on the door. He would not be satisfied however, until the room was opened.

Iskander moves through the darkness, curious as to what the other room holds, and he also picked up a key, from the demon's robes.
