Jednesa was still outside.  By this time she had stripped off her harness and poncho, and stowed them in the wagon.  Fashioned a lanyard out of rope to drag her "handaxe" behind her and is now crouching by the small entrance Christine magically carved out, reaching in to feel the wall, making sure it's good and solid, and getting a feel for how best to squeeze through.

She then begins to slowly crawl down the tunnel.



OOC:  One quarter movement rate if it matters.

00:31, Today: Jednesa rolled 9 using 3d6.  Escape (Tight Spaces) 15 (Skill 14 + 1 Taking twice as long to proceed).

After some examination of the fluid in the sconces, both to identify the components and asses the alchemical properties, Tradesman McNealy states "I think that this may collidify with the proper agitation.  Let me see if I can reactivate the alchemical properties with the proper handling."

OOC Proceed carefully, as appropriate based on the age and settling.

[Private to GM: With extra time, he may have critted the roll.  Although i think the rule of 16 applies, so maybe not.
10:50, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 8 using 3d6.  McNealy general Alchemy roll, 18.]

"Um, Alchemist?  What's likely to happen if that goes wrong a bit?  After all, we don't need the light, we've got plenty of magical lights."

The tradesman responds offhand, in a rather distracted manner.  "It's nothing I can't handle.  I wouldn't worry about it.  Trust me, if you need to worry, I'll tell you."

Masugatan checks out the coat, especially the pockets.  Then he looks the boots over.

In reply to McNealy (msg # 853):

Emma will keep concentrating on her light spell, and move it in ahead of them.

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 861):

Christine will wait outside with Jednessa, to assist in guard duty and recover her strength, but if Sparky is still around, she will direct him to go and assist the others, under Emma's instructions.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 860):

The boots are well made, and the cloak, which looks warm and comfortable  has a key in the pocket.


Jednesa has gone into the cave entrance...

Masugatan examines the key.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 864):

The key looks like it might go to the front door that Christine magicked. The clak seems to be warm.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 865):

Emma will try the coat on. She likes warm...

"Magical cloak, Emma?  I'd expect that of a wizard, but I'd have thought an alchemist would have potions for that."

In reply to Evelina Grattan (msg # 867):

"Perhaps it protects against unexpected side effects...I imagine an alchemist would have use of that!"

In reply to Evelina Grattan (msg # 867):

The cloakbrings with it a comfortable sensation of warmth.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 869):

A worshipper of the Sun god, Emma immediately feels like her God is giving her a cuddle...and likes the cloak! She continues on...

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 870):

The boots remain...

Masugatan holds the key up and grins cockily, pointing at the door.

"Wouldn't it be prudent to be sure the owner isn't still here, or better yet no longer in need of them, before helping ourselves to his or her possessions?"

OOC  How is the attempt at the light source going.  Any sign of life?  Any agitation to be had?

In reply to McNealy (msg # 874):

Emma has a light spell active. She examines the boots...

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 875):

McNealy shakes a vial, and it begins to glow.

OOC:  Let me know when Jednesa has crawled her way into the coat room.

Masugatan’s smiles departs as he sees what McNealy’s doing.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 877):

Jednesa finds herself in a cul de sac, and can either back out or dig forward.

(The others had abandoned the tunnel, and dug out the front entrance instead)

OOC:  That's where she was going, the dirt tunnel Christine had dug.  It's why she was being extra careful with the earthen wall.
