Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

DAI goes ino one of the open doors of the rooms that he obtained some of the money from earlier, while sending a ghost sound further down the hallway creating the sound of four people running to the end of the hall and just around the corner.

ZEIG/JACK:
[Private to JACK; ZEIG: "We'll see. Move along. Stay next to one another," the rear guard commands. "And please, sirs, no more talking until we arrive. I hope that is very, very clear."

The guard circling around you is now behind you, weapon readied. The guard in front peers over his shoulder very often as they take you towards the main gate of the castle.

You are traveling in this formation:

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

DAI/VIL:
[Private to DAI; VIL:
VIL dives into the door behind DAI and lands on thick carpeting muffling most of the impact noises, completely non-viwable from the outside of the room.

Roland and the other guard come running by. "I heard something!" one exclaims outside of the door. "Me too," yells Roland as he continues to run.

The door slams and you hear the lock engage. A muffled voice through the thick, wooden door says, "If you're in the magistrate's room we'll see you in a moment." His armored feet clank down the hallway to follow Roland.

21:27, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 1d20+1. Roland's sense motive vs. Ghost Sound.
21:36, Today: teslas rolled 19 using 1d20+7. Listen for VIL's graceful landing. DC 18.

Zeig maintains his cheery disposition and occasionally stares off into the sky while accompanying the guards.

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

DAI/VIL:
[Private to DAI; VIL:
You both look around the room quickly, hearts racing. It is very dark with the door closed.

The major features of the room catch your eyes first. A large writing desk, a luxurious leather reclining couch, several chairs, and a few large chests.

There are two outside windows which are shut and latched from the inside. As you turn for a second look around the room a bolt of lightning brightens everything quickly.

One stack of 32 platinum pieces remains on the desk.

Roll spot checks. It's very dark in here.

You both follow the guard's instructions. You round another corner of the castle and are approaching the main gate. The rain, if possible, has seemed to worsen.

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

19:51, Today: DAI rolled 16 using 1d20+1. spot.

DAI takes in his surroundings, while also looking outside the window to see if there was anything below it to land on safely, or perhaps if it led to a wall easy enough to climb down. He pocketed the last stack of platinum, before checking the window.

OOC: Also, how high up are we now?

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

Vil notices Dai swiping the rest of the platinum pieces. He shrugs at Dai, "Might as well, since we're here. If we can, lets search the chests for something to get us out of here in one piece." Vil steps as quietly as he can towards one of the chests and checks to see if its locked.

21:52, Today: VIL rolled 4 using 1d20. Spot check.

[OOC] Ugh. Kefka, bless my rolls! [/OOC]

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

[Private to DAI; VIL:
DAI goes to the window after pocketing the last of the platinum pieces and waits for the next lightning strike. It appears as if you are now 45 feet from the ground below. The windows lead down into a side-courtyard next to the castle. It leads off into the north side of the gardens. The northern section of the castle, more of a fortress than anything else, can also be seen.

VIL, you attempt to open each of the three chests, but they are all firmly shut. There appears to be detailed padlocks on each one.

[Private to DAI: You noticed a longsword hanging above the door to the room. There is a plaque underneath it but it is far too dark to read.]

OOC: VIL, I told you to let me do your rolls, haha

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

VIL/DAI:
[Private to DAI; VIL:
Despite it being very dark, VIL fumbles around with the desk looking for something. He feels paper in most of the drawers.

DAI, being near the window for a couple of lightning strikes it appears that the windows are held shut by simple metal latches.

ZEIG/JACK:
[Private to JACK; ZEIG:
You two are fairly near the front gate now. One of the guards stationed there catches sight of you and waves his hand. The guard walking in front of you does the same. There seems to be at least eight people at the gate, and most of them are looking at you.

All the while both of you continue moving towards them.

Vil gives up searching at the desk and heads to the door to see if it can be unlocked from the inside.

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

VIL/DAI:
[Private to VIL/DAI:
Viladin goes to the door to see if it can be simply unlocked. He feels around in the darkness and does not see a latch. Lightning strike. He sees that there is a keyhole on the side of the door he's on. Presumably, the lock is internal with a key hole on each side.

As VIL as at the door, the familiar sound of clanking can be heard outside. It is hurried, but it seems as if those hustling are trying to conceal their steps as best they can--and on the carpet outside it might actually be hard to hear them if you weren't in the hallway with them. They do not stop as they pass and neither of you hear them say anything.

The time between being locked inside and the sounds of armored people running past has been about one minute.

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

JACK/ZEIG
[Private to JACK; ZEIG:
The two of you arrive at the gate. A guard captain you actually recognize walks up to the both of you, "What the hell are you two doing being brought to me on a night like this?"

Four guards that were at the gate walk off in the direction you came, presumably to resume the interrupted patrol. Another listens for a moment and disappears inside the castle.

You are all standing in a large gate-house embedded inside the castle's structure. It appears to many visitors to be decorative and mostly for show when they the first enter the castle. The two of you know that in the darkness 30 feet above you lie several massive portcullises--the first of the castle's impressive defenses that haven't been put to a true test in hundreds of years.

The two guards explain exactly how they found you and repeat almost word for word what you told them. The guard captain plainly says, "alright. Now you're going to tell me why you're here, and how you got in."

An especially large network of lightning lights up the cloud-choked sky and everything beneath it for an instant. The two guards, and their weapons, are still paying accute attention to you.

"Raoul let us in." Jack began "With the princess. Me and Zeig took a detour to the garden. Not sure where the others are, we're on our way to find them."

JACK/ZEIG:
[Private to JACK; ZEIG:
"By the others you mean," he thinks for a moment, "that creepy, skinny one and VAL?"

"I believe that Sara probably would've had to have been with you to get into the gardens tonight, but where is she now? Why did you not simply go to the West gate to wait for them if you were separated? Why were you so close to the castle? How long have you been on the grounds?" He sincerely doubts the completeness of your story. He is clearly annoyed and impatient.

Vil grumbles silently but casts the Light cantrip on his shiny platinum piece so he can see.

Re: Chapter 1: Darksday Hope

"Come now, you wouldn't deprive us of a walk in the gardens?  In the rain?  At night?  What an exquisite opportunity!  The way the droplets glisten as they reflect the lightning and drip from the rose petals.  I just couldn't pass it up.  Honestly, it was just a few minutes!"

Zeig flits between annoyed and enthralled as he rants.

"I dragged Jack out here and then we didn't know where the others had went.  We thought it would be simplest to return to the front gate since we didn't know."
