"Someone is crying somewhere." As Barret looks around before he looks down at his wrists. He rubs them to make sure there he isn't being manacled. As soon as he is sure he isn't being chained, he starts exploring the room.
Sorin watches Barret as he moves into the room, "I hear nothing Barret. Is it coming from this room or somewhere else in the prison?" He steps up behind Barret as the fellow Kellid moves into the room.
"I do not know. And I hear chains too."
"But Barrett, where is it coming from, I too am oblivious of this sound?" the mage looks on perplexed. He watches Barrett in his quest to find the noise, yet wondering why Sorin doesn't hear it either. Both are looking and heading closer to it, or so he thinks. He stops, his ears set intently listening, but nothing. This is very strange. He chants and looks using the power of magic, detecting magical energies residing in the place.
Merian frowns, also not hearing or seeing anything.
Dillan looks at Barret, "I hear nothing as well, perhaps more foul play by our local spectres?"
The rogue moves into the room taking his time to look about the place...
Perception +4= 21 vs hearing conversations, finding traps, concealed or secret objects
"It is possible that this is the work of spirits." Barret agrees with Dillan.
Dillan stands almost frozen as the manacles animate and begin moving of their own will, "Ummm, is anyone else seeing this?" The rogue asks hoping that this is indeed actually happening.
Sorin raises his bow and nocks an arrow, "Oh yes, that I am definitely seeing." He fires the arrow at the manacles.
Merian reaches out to touch Barret's shoulder as she chants, "Debesis, aizsargātu šis cilvēks no šīs pasaules ļaunumu."
"Yes, I told you I heard chains." Barret responds to Dillan. He prepares himself to fight off the chains.
Dillan moves to a flanking position (safely) and attacks with his sword...
Initiative
Shortsword +2 (Flanking)= 16 to hit
Damage + = 6 dmg total
Initiative
The manacles attempt to strike at Barret and you see the red glow in his eyes as he becomes enraged. His now black and auburn hands grow wicked claws as he lashes out with them at the manacles that had dared to try to strike him.
Merian looks for a way to get close enough to attack the manacles as well, striking out with her sword when she does.
Sorin grins seeing his arrow strike true and watching the attacks of his friends.
Dillan will continue his search of the room...
Barret reverts to normal and takes a few moments to recover. Barret also continues to search the room.
The swarthy Kellid watches as his companions resume their search of the room, wondering if other debris is apt to animate in this abandoned prison. He continues holding his bow, ready to nock another arrow if further threats emerge.
Finding nothing of interest in the room the Rogue exits and proceeds up the hall to investigate the next intersection...
Stealth
Perception +4= 34 Perception for hearing conversations, finding traps, concealed or secret objects
Merian reads through the rules idly before turning to follow Dillan (albeit at enough distance to avoid disrupting his attempts at stealth).
Sorin joins Merian, discreetly following Dillan deeper into the prison.
Barret brings up the rear of the party, rather quiet. Well relatively to how he normally is.
Tre watched the struggle with the manacles intently, Interesting how such an inanimate object is able to gain such life, there is much that is magical in here, hmmmm!. He joins Merian to read the rules of the prison, trying to glean any further information that will help them as they move through the prison. He eventually follows on whispering to Dillian as he leaves, "Be careful my friend, there is much that is unusual here."
Sorin continues to watch silently as Dillan works his way up the corridor. He stands ready to help defend the rogue if more of the prison's malevolent forces appear.
Merian tilts her head left, indicating the direction she'd like to turn.
Looking back and seeing Merian's gesture the rogue nods. He looks to his left, down the hall, then slowly proceeds in that direction...
Stealth
Perception +4= 19 Perception for hearing conversations, finding traps, concealed or secret objects
Sorin watches Merian's signal and silently nods assent at the plan to continue left.
Barret waits in the back rather impatiently, looking around for anything else that might animate and attack him.
Tre watches those forward of the party, but knowing they can look after themselves, keeps a careful eye on anything coming up from the back.
Dillan will make his way to the far door (just above room S5), once there he readies himself, first listening at the door...
Perception +4= 18 Perception for hearing conversations, finding traps, concealed or secret objects
Then he checks for anything of a foul nature about the door besides its aged state...
Perception +4= 18 Perception for hearing conversations, finding traps, concealed or secret objects
Sorin continues to stand silently behind Dillan, wondering what other reminders of the past will be found in the prison.
Dillan pauses with the unexpected smell coming from the door, he looks to the others; he wiggles two fingers infront of his nose and makes a slight sniffing motion, shrugs, the gestures at the door.
He draws his sword and once the others signal their ready; he opens the door.
Barret sees Dillan's gestures and moves closer to the front, next to him. He cracks his knuckles in anticipation for whatever lay behind that door.
Merian shifts her shield slightly, her sword at the ready, and waits.
Sorin nods his head in acknowledgement of Dillan's signal and stands ready with his bow.
