  1. [2014-01-27 14:06:42] * ARF Another uneasy night passes. The sounds of forging go on late into the evening, until Kanan gives up and wanders into the keep. Clouds set in, bringing a light rain that burns away overnight leaving a bright and waxing moon.
  2. [2014-01-27 14:12:13] * ARF Morning is a welcome relief, though the clouds return making for another dull day in the ravines of Ravenous. Dark, nervous shapes flit their way between keep and tower and breakfast is laid out.
  3. [2014-01-27 14:13:11] * Aethon awakens, Huan at his feet. His dreams have been dark and troublesome as of late.
  4. [2014-01-27 14:13:20] <Aethon> "You'll keep me line, won't you boy?"
  5. [2014-01-27 14:13:36] <Aethon> Huan whines and lets out a bark.
  6. [2014-01-27 14:14:29] * Nobody sits in the windowsill of his appropriate quarters, looking out into the misty rain while smoking. His eyes are hooded with too little sleep, having obligated himself to work into the night on Laethirna's various projects in eventual exchange for cheap gear for himself. The nightmares brought him up with the dawn, however, and so he sits sullen-faced, surveying the courtyard below.
  7. [2014-01-27 14:16:56] * Laethirna Yawns and crawls out of bed, walking across the room to investigate if Parva is awake or not. If not, she does her best to rouse the wolf-girl with her nails across her chalkboard
  8. [2014-01-27 14:18:51] * Parva has since left the room, currently sitting in the hall at the table, enjoying a light breakfast.
  9. [2014-01-27 14:19:32] * ARF Today's fare consists of the reheated remnants of last night, which was some kind of Dwarven curry
  10. [2014-01-27 14:20:43] <Nakil> Nakil quietly leaves his room - he wasn't seen much yesterday after the incident with Sibyl and Laethirna. He slips into the dining hall and eats quietly, before looking around for the others.
  11. [2014-01-27 14:21:17] * Nobody tosses the stub of his cigar out of the window and makes his way down to break fast. He eats without gusto before becoming aware of Nakil also being present. "Mrrrn," he greets him.
  12. [2014-01-27 14:21:42] <Parva> "Good morning Nakil, goblin."
  13. [2014-01-27 14:21:49] * Laethirna wanders downstairs wearing the same thing she wore yesterday. It's apparently the only outfit she owns.
  14. [2014-01-27 14:22:10] <ARF> Kanan is seated at one end of the table, staring at a lump of misshapen iron as he nibbles on curry.
  15. [2014-01-27 14:23:08] <Nakil> "Good morning... I trust everyone is doing alright? Any plans for the day?" he asks, a bit idly, though for all the world looking like he hasn't slept too well himself.
  16. [2014-01-27 14:23:08] * Laethirna writes a message on her chalkboard and hands it to Parva . "Sibyl said she needed to uncurse someone."
  17. [2014-01-27 14:24:22] * Aethon enters the dining hall, Huan at heel.
  18. [2014-01-27 14:24:31] <Aethon> "Good morning."
  19. [2014-01-27 14:25:34] <Parva> "Did she say who?" she asks Laethirna.
  20. [2014-01-27 14:26:08] * Laethirna shakes her head
  21. [2014-01-27 14:27:46] <Parva> "I suppose we'd best find her and find out, then, before whatever she thinks will happen, happens."
  22. [2014-01-27 14:28:08] <Nakil> "I had been a bit eager to explore the castle but the ah... incident yesterday has made me reconsider..."
  23. [2014-01-27 14:28:12] * Aethon sits, and absentmindedly takes to the food.
  24. [2014-01-27 14:28:22] <Aethon> "Dark have been my dreams of late. How are the rest of your faring?"
  25. [2014-01-27 14:29:27] <Parva> "Absent-minded and distracted, borderline obsessive. Other than that, just fine."
  26. [2014-01-27 14:30:49] * Nobody grunts distastefully. "This stuff needs more pepper." - He tries to stifle a yawn but fails, displaying an open mouthful of chewed food.
  27. [2014-01-27 14:31:17] * Laethirna passes a folded cloak to Nakil, with a chalkboard message of "Can you tell what it is?"
  28. [2014-01-27 14:36:05] <Nakil> He takes the cloak for a moment, hrming. "I have a love of looking over things like this... It's called a Cloak of the Duskwalker. It grants better vision to those who can't already see well in dim light and can cloak the area in darkness that doesn't impede the wearer's vision."
  29. [2014-01-27 14:37:44] <Nakil> "The usefulness varies, of course. It's probably most useful for fleet-footed individuals from races that don't have gifted sight."
  30. [2014-01-27 14:37:53] <Nakil> He hands it back.
  31. [2014-01-27 14:38:18] * Laethirna gives a single nod.
  32. [2014-01-27 14:39:37] * Parva makes a humming noise. "...Would anyone care to get in to a bit of mischief today?"
  33. [2014-01-27 14:40:13] <Nakil> "Anyway... the agenda for today. I've been unsure of where to start with helping out around the castle..." though he looks over at Parva. "Mischief, you say? Tell me more."
  34. [2014-01-27 14:40:44] * Nobody raises an eyebrow at Parva. "If'n ya call it mischief openly, chances are it ain't."
  35. [2014-01-27 14:41:05] * Laethirna looks towards Parva and nods
  36. [2014-01-27 14:41:06] <Parva> "No? A little breaking and entering, a little lying, sneaking around, perhaps petty theft?"
  37. [2014-01-27 14:42:09] * Aethon chokes a little on his food.
  38. [2014-01-27 14:42:23] * Nobody stretches, popping a few joints. "N' here I thought you were the lawman 'round here. Well, mebbeh after this guy." - He points a thumb at Aethanus.
  39. [2014-01-27 14:42:59] <Nakil> "I think I would have to hear more." he says noncomitally.
  40. [2014-01-27 14:43:03] * Aethon lifts both brows and continues to eat, his eyes on his plate. "I didn't hear anything."
  41. [2014-01-27 14:43:26] <Nakil> "And I especially do not wish to do anything that'd upset madam Sibyl further at the moment so there is that."
  42. [2014-01-27 14:45:25] <Parva> "I've worked with the law in the past. But there are times when it is more of a hindrance to the right thing to do." She leans forward in her seat, steepling fingers in front of her face. "Case in point--Kel is far too reticent to deal straight with us. So I need someone to sneak around the village itself, and find out if there is any written record of the dealings with the dwarves in...
  43. [2014-01-27 14:45:25] <Parva> ...seasons past--or of the terms. Anything that might help with their plight in less than a week."
  44. [2014-01-27 14:46:41] * ARF From somewhere high above comes the most awful screech of metal, followed by something clanking its way around.
  45. [2014-01-27 14:47:33] * Laethirna writes "What about the map?" for Parva
  46. [2014-01-27 14:47:36] <Nakil> Nakil frowns, looking up. "Please tell me I'm not the only one who heard that."
  47. [2014-01-27 14:47:37] * Nobody snorts. "Bit of burglary in th' servi-" - He grimaces and looks toward the sound. "The service of the people? I can get behind that."
  48. [2014-01-27 14:48:26] * Parva looks up even as her ears twitch violently, spotting Laethirna's sign from the corner of her eye. "...The map is for an awkard location," she says distantly, standing up. "I'll be back--I need to check that." She makes for the staircase.
  49. [2014-01-27 14:48:37] * Aethon stands up for his seat.
  50. [2014-01-27 14:48:39] <Nobody> "Ya weren't," the goblin says to Nakil. "Reckon Paw-ly-gone's up n' about."
  51. [2014-01-27 14:48:41] * Aethon makes for the staircase.
  52. [2014-01-27 14:48:47] * Laethirna follows after Parva
  53. [2014-01-27 14:48:59] * Nakil decides to follow the others!
  54. [2014-01-27 14:49:33] <Nakil> "Good day to you." he absently bids Kanan farewell.
  55. [2014-01-27 14:49:56] * ARF Kanab calmly gets up and as the rest of them leave, speeds outside just in case it's some sort of horror from beyond the stars about to devour them all
  56. [2014-01-27 14:50:50] <Nobody> "Hey, swirly-face, waitaminute!"
  57. [2014-01-27 14:51:43] <Nakil> He stops a bit short, looking at Nobody. "Yes?"
  58. [2014-01-27 14:52:16] * Nobody waves for Nakil approach, rummaging in his satchel with his other hand.
  59. [2014-01-27 14:53:20] <Nakil> He walks over, a bit dreading whatever it is the others are looking for, but Nobody has his attention for the moment!
  60. [2014-01-27 14:54:00] <Nakil> He adjusts his glasses as he squats down a bit to get on the goblin's level.
  61. [2014-01-27 14:54:46] * ARF Up the stairs it is quiet. Nothing but the Long Gallery and its endless portraits of lords long past to greet you. The Dance Hall sits directly above where you had breakfast. Its door is shut.
  62. [2014-01-27 14:55:08] * Nobody glances toward the rest of the group, waiting a moment until he judges them out of immediate earshot... "Reckon you'll need this, if'n ya plan to take a com-pree-hen-sive gander at all the rooms to fix 'em up." - He pulls out an ornate key, holding it out for Nakil to take.
  63. [2014-01-27 14:55:38] <Nakil> He takes the key with a bit of a confused look. "What's this lead to?"
  64. [2014-01-27 14:57:11] * Parva walks quickly over to the door for the dance hall and presses an ear against the door.
  65. [2014-01-27 14:58:35] * Laethirna follows Parva and comes to a stop right behind her. She gives a small wave and presses a dimly glowing hand against her
  66. [2014-01-27 14:58:41] <Nobody> "Jus' the big ol' vault. We mostly cleaned it already, but ya'll seem like the thorough type." - The goblin scratches himself nonchalantly. "Oh, an' if'n ya see a portable hole anywhere, could ya grab it for me? Seemed to've misplaced the durn thing."
  67. [2014-01-27 14:59:46] <Nakil> "I see. I will keep that in mind." he says, keeping his expression neutral and pocketing the key.
  68. [2014-01-27 15:00:09] * Nobody tips his hat. "Much obliged. Knew I could count on ya."
  69. [2014-01-27 15:00:38] * Parva stands up and tries the doorknob.
  70. [2014-01-27 15:01:58] <Nakil> "Well, then... I suppose I should catch up with the others... With your leave, Mr. Goblin." he nods at the gob and hurries after the others.
  71. [2014-01-27 15:03:21] * ARF The door opens onto a cavernous hall, panelled in expensive wood. Great white sheets cover most of the furniture and a thick layer of dust covers the floor.
  72. [2014-01-27 15:03:48] * ARF Except there are tracks in the dust, footprints both small and medium sized
  73. [2014-01-27 15:04:13] <Nakil> Nakil shuffles up behind the others before long. "Oh... are we going into the spooky painting room?" he whispers, a bit absently.
  74. [2014-01-27 15:04:16] * ARF And some of the sheets have been disturbed, there is a cloud of dust just settling over one, torn from an ornate table
  75. [2014-01-27 15:06:04] * Laethirna gives a mild wave of her hand, and inspects the room with a cone of magic detection
  76. [2014-01-27 15:06:09] * Parva scans the tracks as she takes a step into the room; then her eyes settle on the disturbed sheets.
  77. [2014-01-27 15:09:30] <Nakil> He walks in as well. "Do be careful, last time I was here something rather nasty occured. Ghosts, or servants, or illusions, I'm still not sure."
  78. [2014-01-27 15:09:33] * Laethirna frowns and gives another simple wave, providing Parva with another small amount of magical guidances
  79. [2014-01-27 15:12:08] <Parva> "..." She waves a hand toward everyone else. "Stay put," she whispers, then takes a few steps forward.
  80. [2014-01-27 15:16:01] * Nobody leans back in his chair in the dining hall, snoozing with a table of leftovers in front of him.
  81. [2014-01-27 15:16:45] =-= ARF has changed the topic to ``''
  82. [2014-01-27 15:17:15] <Nakil> Nakil crosses his arms and waits.
  83. [2014-01-27 15:17:28] * Parva walks over to the sheet and lifts the edge.
  84. [2014-01-27 15:18:02] * ARF There's nothing but dust and furniture
  85. [2014-01-27 15:20:32] <Nakil> "Well?" he stage whispers.
  86. [2014-01-27 15:20:43] * ARF There are several alcoves, set off from the hall, like private entertainment rooms. They are even more decorated with gilt and tapestries.
  87. [2014-01-27 15:22:54] <Parva> "Hm. Must be a stash for the goblin. At least, some of the tracks are his size."
  88. [2014-01-27 15:23:07] * Laethirna writes "Does this have to do with the map?"
  89. [2014-01-27 15:23:55] <Parva> "No, there was a lot of noise a minute or two ago. Sounded like it came from up here...unless there's something even over the top of here."
  90. [2014-01-27 15:24:23] <Nakil> "If I may - the other night I saw something in here that fled through a secret passage. I imagine it was one of the castle servants? I remember it being quite diminutive so I kind of doubt they were his tracks."
  91. [2014-01-27 15:24:58] * Laethirna gives a small wave, before checking the room
  92. [2014-01-27 15:25:26] * ARF It doesn't look like any servants come in here, considering at least that the rest of the castle is kept dusted.
  93. [2014-01-27 15:25:59] <Parva> "Mm--I don't think so, Nakil. Were there any in here, I doubt this room would look as untidy as it does."
  94. [2014-01-27 15:26:24] <Nakil> "I suppose you're right..." he frowns. "But then what did I see? When I tried to investigate, one of the paintings accosted me for a moment."
  95. [2014-01-27 15:26:40] <Nakil> "I'm understandably hesitant about repeating that."
  96. [2014-01-27 15:27:00] <Nakil> He examines the table the sheet was torn off.
  97. [2014-01-27 15:27:04] * Parva looks at Nakil over one shoulder for a second. "...I can't say I've ever had the pleasure of that experience."
  98. [2014-01-27 15:27:15] * Laethirna finds herself standing in one of the alcoves, in front of a large tapestry of a village scene
  99. [2014-01-27 15:27:54] * Laethirna beckons to Parva, and then points at the tapestry
  100. [2014-01-27 15:28:21] * Parva moves over to what Laethirna pointed out. She moves the tapestry to a side.
  101. [2014-01-27 15:28:25] <Laethirna> *Painting, not tapestry
  102. [2014-01-27 15:29:20] * ARF The painting depicts a festive scene in the middle of a happy village. Peasants dance and make merry
  103. [2014-01-27 15:30:13] * Laethirna wonders if the village in the painting is Watchoutforthe
  104. [2014-01-27 15:31:08] <Nakil> "That's the one, actually."
  105. [2014-01-27 15:31:14] <Nakil> "Careful around it."
  106. [2014-01-27 15:35:36] * Laethirna tries to look behind the painting
  107. [2014-01-27 15:36:30] * ARF The painting is heavy, easily bigger than Laethirna herself. Underneath it is bare stone.
  108. [2014-01-27 15:37:39] * Laethirna presses her hand against the stone, looking for a loose brick that works as a button, or perhaps some kind of illusion
  109. [2014-01-27 15:41:20] <Nakil> "I believe there was a lever she found before." he calls over to Parva helpfully.
  110. [2014-01-27 15:41:45] * Parva reaches over to the tapestry hanging *next* to the painting and runs her finger across a lump in the fabric before pressing it firmly. "Not a lever."
  111. [2014-01-27 15:42:44] * ARF There is a rumble of stone and the wall swings inward revealing a narrow passage beside the painting, barely five feet wide.
  112. [2014-01-27 15:43:45] * Nakil looks under one sheet and a bit of delight crosses his face for a moment. He almost reaches under, but thinks better of it. "There's an old organ here. Perhaps even antique. But... I think I'll leave it alone for now. I'd really like to see this place restored to the glory it no doubt once had..."
  113. [2014-01-27 15:44:13] <Nakil> He does remove the sheet for now, though.
  114. [2014-01-27 15:48:56] * Laethirna holds out a black gloved hand and shines Light down the opened passage
  115. [2014-01-27 15:49:05] * Parva bends low and peers into the passage as far as she can see.
  116. [2014-01-27 15:49:36] <Nakil> "Ah, a globe...! Yes, this must be Ravenous..." Nakil has become absorbed in a number of things over in the one corner - including a globe, a sextant and a cuckoo clock. He examines both the globe and sextant a bit more at length. He's letting the girls do their thing without interrupting them.
  117. [2014-01-27 15:50:20] * ARF The passage stretches into darkness but the sides become... well... they're carved with names and likenesses.
  118. [2014-01-27 15:52:15] * Laethirna enters the passage and looks at the carvings
  119. [2014-01-27 15:53:18] * ARF All the names begin with lady this or baron that. The likenesses are all of people in deathly repose. They're covered onto what look suspiciously like coffin doors set into the walls
  120. [2014-01-27 15:55:02] * Laethirna follows the passage a bit further, before turning to Parva and silently beckoning once more
  121. [2014-01-27 15:55:28] * Parva gives in and follows. Hopefully they won't encounter any more of Sibyl's minions...
  122. [2014-01-27 15:55:33] * ARF The passage stretches about sixty feet before ending in a small, lightless room of cold stone.
  123. [2014-01-27 15:56:17] * ARF In the center of that room is a sarcophagus, moulded into the paving. It is sealed shut and a single wilted rose sits atop it.
  124. [2014-01-27 15:56:23] * Laethirna is glad that her gloves continuously produce light
  125. [2014-01-27 15:56:36] * ARF More dust has been disturbed here, it looks like there was some kind of struggle.
  126. [2014-01-27 15:58:16] * Laethirna looks back at Parva for guidance
  127. [2014-01-27 15:58:30] * Parva surveys the scene.
  128. [2014-01-27 16:00:42] <Nakil> Nakil looks up as they actually go into the room and looks around a bit nervously.
  129. [2014-01-27 16:02:07] <Parva> "I'm guessing someone fought with the goblin, not sure who. Pretty much just came and went."
  130. [2014-01-27 16:02:16] * Laethirna gives a magical wave, before looking over the sarcophagus
  131. [2014-01-27 16:04:21] <Nakil> Nakil edges over to the doorway. "Is... it safe?"
  132. [2014-01-27 16:04:52] * ARF The sarcophagus is carved with the likeness of a woman. Unusually it has no name
  133. [2014-01-27 16:07:09] <Parva> "I'm not sure there's anything left to see in here, to be honest...and I'd rather not hang around the resting dead if I can help it. Come on; let's get back out."
  134. [2014-01-27 16:07:38] * Laethirna follows Parva
  135. [2014-01-27 16:08:47] <Nakil> Nakil backs the fuck out at 'resting dead'.
  136. [2014-01-27 16:10:53] <Nakil> "A crypt next to an entertainment hall? Why does it feel like the architect had a very morbid sense of humor...?"
  137. [2014-01-27 16:12:37] <Parva> "Possibly because they very well may have, given...well, EVERYthing about this castle."
  138. [2014-01-27 16:12:38] * Laethirna takes a bit of chalk and writes on a bit of wall: "Button behind cloth" and just below that, "Opens dead people room"
  139. [2014-01-27 16:13:16] <Nakil> If the globe and sextant aren't nailed down or anything, he'll liberate them from their dusty resting spot. "In the meantime I think these things deserve a little more respect than being forgotten."
  140. [2014-01-27 16:16:52] <Nakil> "Useful tools, these. Apparently this world has four continents? Or islands...? I'm not sure how big it is to be honest. And a sextant... well, it's a little different from the ones we have back home but I suppose that's understandable considering the differences between an infinite plane of air in all directions and a little round ball of water and dirt in a prime plane. Perhaps I'll put
  141. [2014-01-27 16:16:52] <Nakil> these in my room? Or in the library..."
  142. [2014-01-27 16:17:20] <Nakil> "Not much in the way of discovering new parts of the castle, though."
  143. [2014-01-27 16:18:20] <Parva> "No," she says, an eye cast over at the entrance they just left and the painting next to it, "but still fairly creepy, all things considered."
  144. [2014-01-27 16:18:21] * Laethirna wanders up close to the painting of the village. All the villagers are now lying down. She gently prods the painting with her finger.
  145. [2014-01-27 16:18:25] <Nakil> He glances once more at the painting, but averts his eyes. "Nope, nope,. nope."
  146. [2014-01-27 16:21:56] <Nakil> "Try not to look it in his eyes." he warns, still doing his best not to look.
  147. [2014-01-27 16:23:23] <Parva> "Time to leave, before Nakil has a breakdown." She taps Laethirna on the shoulder and motions to the room's exit, before leaving herself.
  148. [2014-01-27 16:24:32] * Laethirna writes on the wall in chalk once more. "Painting Changes. Probably Ghosts", before following Parva out
  149. [2014-01-27 16:25:53] <Nakil> He quickly follows suit.
  150. [2014-01-27 16:26:03] <Nakil> "You didn't see him? The pale man in the painting?"
  151. [2014-01-27 16:26:28] <Parva> "No, but I wasn't looking."
  152. [2014-01-27 16:28:50] * Laethirna gives the hallway a checking for additional secret passages
  153. [2014-01-27 16:28:58] <Nakil> Nakil just shudders a bit. "Well, either way."
  154. [2014-01-27 16:32:53] * ARF The Long Gallery, you know it's called this because of the plaque is carpeted, corridor with bedrooms staggered off of it at regular intervals. Apart from the doors and the candle holders the only things of interest are the paintings themselves, an eclectic mix of battle scenes, family portraits and uncomfortable close-ups
  155. [2014-01-27 16:33:51] * ARF One painting catches your eye of a group of children being herded by a waspish woman outside a great, dark building.
  156. [2014-01-27 16:34:01] <Nakil> "Do... any of these depict the previous lord of the castle?"
  157. [2014-01-27 16:34:11] <Nakil> He pauses to have a look at it.
  158. [2014-01-27 16:35:14] * Laethirna is sure to try examining the candlesticks for secret levers.
  159. [2014-01-27 16:35:43] * ARF One or two of the candle holders are at best loosely attached to the wall and come off in your hand
  160. [2014-01-27 16:36:25] * Laethirna tries to reattach them
  161. [2014-01-27 16:38:22] * ARF Laethirna bangs the candle holder against the wall ineffectually.
  162. [2014-01-27 16:38:51] <Nakil> He shuffles the sextant to the same arm as the globe and reaches out. "Like this, milady." He motions for her to put it against the wall, and he gently chants a spell of Mending.
  163. [2014-01-27 16:39:43] * Laethirna sighs and watches Nakil spend 10 whole minutes chanting
  164. [2014-01-27 16:39:53] * ARF The screws gently wind back into the wall, the holes filling themselves in around them
  165. [2014-01-27 16:42:06] <Nakil> He pauses a bit after he's done. "Erm, maybe I'll come back and fix the rest later."
  166. [2014-01-27 16:45:15] * Laethirna writes a message on her chalkboard for Nakil. "Is there noise? The floor moved"
  167. [2014-01-27 16:47:10] <Nakil> He nods, after a moment. "Something like banging on a door."
  168. [2014-01-27 16:47:20] * Laethirna wanders down the corridor, something having caught her attention.
  169. [2014-01-27 16:47:48] <Nakil> He looks more than a little irritated at her just walking off when he was talking to her, but follows.
  170. [2014-01-27 16:49:16] * ARF You go allll the way down to the end of the Long Gallery. There's another stairwell here, leading down into the main hall. You've never been up this way, probably because there's nothing on this side of the castle except unused bedrooms
  171. [2014-01-27 16:49:45] * ARF You can hear it clearly now, a door banging from one of the outer bedrooms. The door into it is firmly locked
  172. [2014-01-27 16:50:24] * Laethirna watches for Nakil for signs that he can hear things that she can't.
  173. [2014-01-27 16:51:00] <Nakil> He gestures over to the door, certain that's where the noise is coming from. He does try the handle, and after a moment he asks, "Hello?"
  174. [2014-01-27 16:51:27] <Nakil> "Door's locked, but I'm fairly certain the sound is coming from within."
  175. [2014-01-27 16:55:17] * Laethirna motions for Nakil to help her open the door
  176. [2014-01-27 16:55:55] * Laethirna bangs against the door
  177. [2014-01-27 16:56:08] <Nakil> He looks more than a little bit weirded out from what he's hearing, but he nods at her. "Do you happen to have a hairpin or something...?" he wonders idly at he tries to figure out how to open it.
  178. [2014-01-27 16:56:24] <Nakil> He has a key, but he really doubts it's for this room and he wouldn't try it if he thought it was.
  179. [2014-01-27 16:57:40] <Nakil> He tries looking in through the keyhole or under the door.
  180. [2014-01-27 16:57:54] * ARF The lock gives a little upon Laethirna's kick. The wood splinters around it. Another attack might break the lock
  181. [2014-01-27 16:58:26] <Nakil> "Are... you really sure you should be damaging the door...?"
  182. [2014-01-27 16:58:36] <Nakil> "I'm fairly certain we could get this open without-"
  183. [2014-01-27 16:58:39] * Parva comes down the stairs slowly, thinking, before coming to a decision and returning to the hall, intending on finding the goblin once again.
  184. [2014-01-27 16:58:41] * Laethirna tries to give it another whallop
  185. [2014-01-27 16:58:55] * ARF This one isn't strong enough. The lock holds
  186. [2014-01-27 17:00:17] <Nobody> "Zzzz..." - The goblin is still at the breakfast table, hat slid down over his face as the back of his head rests against the back of a chair sized for a human.
  187. [2014-01-27 17:00:47] <Nakil> "I suppose I could try and summon a tiny creature to slip under the door and unlock the latch from inside, but what would be suitable, and how would I communicate..."
  188. [2014-01-27 17:00:59] * Laethirna gives the door a thorough thrashing this time, backing up, before running and tackling the door with all the force her small 100lb frame can apply
  189. [2014-01-27 17:01:04] * ARF The lock pops out of the door, shattering it around the lock. It hangs loosely now.
  190. [2014-01-27 17:01:10] <Nakil> Nakil winces.
  191. [2014-01-27 17:01:24] <Nakil> "I... suppose that did it. Do I get points for moral support?"
  192. [2014-01-27 17:02:32] * Parva knocks on the wood of the chair opposite his head--not ungently.
  193. [2014-01-27 17:03:11] * Laethirna gets it unlocked, but also bounces and lands on the floor. She climbs back up and rubs at where her head hit.
  194. [2014-01-27 17:03:51] * Laethirna sees about pulling the door open to see what caused the banging noises.
  195. [2014-01-27 17:04:23] * Nobody snorts and fidgets awake, the hat sliding into his lap. He straightens up, blinking. "Buh... Wuh, guess I dozed off thare..." - He yawns, tongue sliding out not unlike a cat.
  196. [2014-01-27 17:04:35] * ARF The door swings open, revealing a bedroom. All the furniture has been stacked neatly in one corner though. To one side lies another door, the source of the noise. It bangs noisily in a draught
  197. [2014-01-27 17:05:23] <Nakil> He walks in. "Just another door and the wind?" he sighs. "I suppose this is another thing I will have to spend time mending." he looks for the source of the draft.
  198. [2014-01-27 17:05:25] <Parva> "Quite alright. Listen...would you be in for the skullduggery I mentioned earlier? You're probably our best shot at this going off."
  199. [2014-01-27 17:06:13] * Laethirna opens the banging door
  200. [2014-01-27 17:06:37] * ARF The bedroom door slams shut behind them, there is a ghostly click as if from a lock that isn't there.
  201. [2014-01-27 17:07:27] * Nobody smacks his lips. "Posilutely, missy. Take any chance to stretch muh legs, what with all the stuff that deaf-mute kook's got me roped into makin'..."
  202. [2014-01-27 17:08:03] <Nakil> "Fala toshul ra'naan kadir." he curses somewhat irritably in Auran as the door closes behind them. He pokes at it.
  203. [2014-01-27 17:08:38] * Laethirna inhales deeply the air in the room
  204. [2014-01-27 17:09:44] * ARF Both the doors to the bedroom shut and lock themselves, even though the outer one has no lock anymore.
  205. [2014-01-27 17:11:26] * Laethirna waves her arms around, causing a shimmering chain of force with hooks at each end to appear
  206. [2014-01-27 17:12:07] <Laethirna> 1d20+12 drag incorporeal foe with chain of force
  207. [2014-01-27 17:12:39] <Nakil> He tries in vain to get the main bedroom door to open and grits his teeth, trying the other door. "The very castle is playing games with us. What did we do to deserve this torment? I can't even appreciate the moment of being locked in a bedroom with a young woman." he mutters.
  208. [2014-01-27 17:13:13] <Parva> "Possibly, is it?" She sniffs. "I thought one as concerned with problems of a pecuniary nature as yourself would take a more active interest when it is, effectively, yourself that is being robbed."
  209. [2014-01-27 17:13:20] <Nakil> He then notices Laethirna doing things with a force chain. "Er.."
  210. [2014-01-27 17:15:06] * ARF The chain catches around something, there is a distant yowl then it falls clinking to the ground. The doors unstick themselves
  211. [2014-01-27 17:15:28] <Nakil> He aims his finger at her hook and mutters a spell, casting Faerie Fire, hopefully before it disintangles.
  212. [2014-01-27 17:15:45] <Nakil> Does anything get outlined before the ghost gets away?
  213. [2014-01-27 17:16:47] * ARF The chain was enough to dissipate the... thing. Whatever it was
  214. [2014-01-27 17:16:48] * Nobody turns a patronising look on Parva. "Po-si-lute-ly," he repeats emphatically, placing his hat back on his head. "As in absotively n' definitelike." - He hops down from the chair. "Where do ya reckon I start?"
  215. [2014-01-27 17:17:25] <Nakil> "I was a bit too late in trying to see what it was..." he frowns, the ball of blue fire hanging in the air. "Very good work, though..."
  216. [2014-01-27 17:17:51] * Laethirna nods, and heads to check what was beyond the previously banging door.
  217. [2014-01-27 17:17:58] <Nakil> He follows her.
  218. [2014-01-27 17:18:52] * ARF Beyond the portal is a long stone room with an arched roof. Small benches form rows leading up to an unadorned altar.
  219. [2014-01-27 17:19:57] <Nakil> "Is this a chapel...? Joined to a bedroom? The architecture will never cease to confound me."
  220. [2014-01-27 17:21:01] <Nakil> He explores the little chapel for a moment, and looks over the altar.
  221. [2014-01-27 17:21:08] <Nakil> Let's cast Detect Magic too, whynot
  222. [2014-01-27 17:22:03] * Laethirna shudders somewhat. Chapels remind her of nuns, and nuns remind her of the orphanage.
  223. [2014-01-27 17:22:46] <Parva> "There's a gathering hall, but it's pretty fairly exactly what it sounds like. You'll probably have better luck in individual houses--perhaps Kel's to start. "
  224. [2014-01-27 17:23:29] <Nakil> Nakil pulls out a book and a ruby gem from behind the altar, setting them on top of it.
  225. [2014-01-27 17:24:05] <Nakil> "Deity... deity... ah, here we go. Looks like this was a book of prayers dedicated to Moradin."
  226. [2014-01-27 17:24:09] * Nobody picks his teeth with a nail. "Guess I'll start there n' work my way down. I don' trust that Gil character. Kinda shifty-lookin'."
  227. [2014-01-27 17:25:16] * Parva mutters something that sounds suspiciously like "Takes one to know one," very very quietly. "Hopefully you won't encounter too many people--the men should all be at the logging camp anyway, and I've not seen any indication Kel has a family."
  228. [2014-01-27 17:27:29] * Nobody snickers. "Don' worry. Reckon th'only one 'round here can sniff me out'd be you," he snarks, pointing a finger at Parva. "I'mma head down right away, see what I can find."
  229. [2014-01-27 17:27:42] * Laethirna frowns at the familiar name.
  230. [2014-01-27 17:28:07] <Parva> "Excellent. I'm hoping this will resolve a good deal of the hostility they feel toward the residents of the castle."
  231. [2014-01-27 17:29:12] <Nakil> He hands the ruby to Laethirna. "And here you are - you did more than I did for certain, and you are one of the castle lords, so I figure this is yours. The book might have some interesting reading... but then again maybe not."
  232. [2014-01-27 17:29:48] * Laethirna gives a slight wave, her hand leaving a dim magical trail, as she prepares what is apparently some kind of orison.
  233. [2014-01-27 17:29:58] * Nobody flicks the brim of his hat as he starts moseying toward the main doors. "If ya say so. Might wanna think up an excuse 'bout how ya learned whatever's to learn."
  234. [2014-01-27 17:30:56] <Nakil> "Quaint little chapel in any case... might be nice to tell the others."
  235. [2014-01-27 17:32:07] <Parva> "I'm hoping I won't need to--but I'm honestly not sure how many of them know that the exchanges have been...less than favorable."
  236. [2014-01-27 17:32:41] * Laethirna takes the ruby and holds it up to the light
  237. [2014-01-27 17:32:45] -->| Lith ([email protected]) has joined #planescapin
  238. [2014-01-27 17:33:44] =-= Lith is now known as Rin
  239. [2014-01-27 17:36:01] * Nobody replies with naught but a waving gesture, the gusting wind outside flapping his poncho dramatically as the door closes after him. He proceeds through the courtyard toward the town below, whistling as he walks through the dreary weather.
  240. [2014-01-27 17:36:42] * Parva lets the goblin be, opting instead to head up to the library.
  241. [2014-01-27 17:36:45] * Laethirna places the ruby into her spell component pouch, for a rainy day
  242. [2014-01-27 17:37:02] <Nakil> With that said and done, Nakil gets ready to leave.
