"Love meat pies" - Reknar nods, eating one, and taking another for the road - "Roast duck is solid. I like having some ale before dinner, and some strong red wine to go with the duck?" - he adds as they leave.
Nic watches Reknar devour his meat pie and after an acceptable amount of time has passed to ensure it was not poisoned, he will grab three pies to go. "Perhaps a tankard of ale before we go and a skin for after the battle." The dwarf never misses an opportunity to have a few drinks.
Nic has a few pints and recipes are exchanged and you find yourselves outside Reginald's small, but tidy warehouse, at about 5:30.
A leaflet blows by and smacks Thorin in the side of the head and sticks there
It is an add for a local rat kebob shop. But two for the price of two.
<chuckles>
Nic proceeds with caution.
[ooc] You are standing outside Reginalds warehouse, the one that he said is full of "rats" is on the other side of his.[ooc]
X RB S
You are the "x" Reginalds place is RB and the warehouse in question is on the other side. They are back to back, so if you want to go in the front of the other warehouse you will have to go around the block
"Well let's go in." Nic points towards Reginald's warehouse. "We can check it out and wait fer the rats t'scurry around."
"Agreed, let's go" - Reknar nods.
Nic moves towards the door. He pulls out a fresh cigar and strikes the tinder, slowly he puckers his cheeks as the red amber appears. "Ready t'swing me Morningstar now."
Reginald gave you a key you open the door and I side you find a regular warehouse filled with boxes. It seems imaculate.
Reknar checks to make sure if there could be any passage between both warehouses - a door, or anything else.
Then he also puts his ear to the adjoining wall, trying to hear anything.
Reknar does not find a secret passage but there is a spot that could be busted through and into the other side
"Find anything?" Nic rests his hammer on his shoulder. He starts to sing a song in his gravelly voice,
'"there's a rat in mi kitch'n, what am I gonna do?
There a rat in mi kitch'n what I'm I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that's what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna fix that rat."
He chuckles, Now that could be a bard's song.
"Aren't they suppose t'come to us?" He tugs on his beard. "Candyman, why don't you hide..." Nic looks around the room for a hiding spot or some crates. "...then when the fighting begins you can spring out and flank 'em."
Nic you can easily do that. However. You are in Reginalds warehouse. He passed along the message that the trouble, the syndicate is in the warehouse next to his. So if you stay in his warehouse you will miss it.
He was just not willing to say that outloud.

"Ok boys, if we break through here" - Reknar points the specific spot and whispers - "We may get the jump on them. What do you think?"
"Sounds good to me. Start swing'n. Hope you have a pick axe because I don't have anything other than a crowbar to help."
Nic doesn't have a pick or large hammer to smash through.
Nic lends aid to Reknar.
You can 100% climb up to the roof, got a rope and grapple? Just wanna scale it?
Thorin tosses the rope up in short order, I assume your rope is knotted so it is only a DC 5 to climb it.
I assume take 10 gets you all up. You find yourselves at the edge between warehouses. There is a short 3 foot gap between the two of them...aparently it doesnt actually share a wall...good to know.
it does not appear that there is a skylight sadly.
Reknar watches Thorin's climb, then waits patiently.
Thorin you don't see anything loose, but you might be able to bust through their roof with some muscle.
Nic waits as Thorin climbs. "Dwarves and climbing don't normally mix well. Low center of gravity and all." Nic informs Reknar.
"Candymaker...psst Candymaker...psssssst Candymaker. What's up there? Need help? The dwarf pushes a bit impatiently.
Nic gives the rope a slight tug then begins the climb.
"ugg...I hate climbing."
He slides down the rope after getting 2 feet off the ground. "Alrighty...alrighty...I stop smirkin', I was only getting warmed up."
"Hey, Reknar, I wouldn't stand right there if I were you." his legs kicking a bit until they find a perch on the wall as he tries to walk up the wall.
"I thought we were going through the wall...." - Reknar grumbles, losing his grip momentarily, but then climbing easily.
The heroes make their way to the roof, clumsily, and comically. But you now all stand at the edge, looking at the 3 foot gap between your side and the other warehouse.
As you wander around up there, carefully. You do not find a skylight, but you do find a spot that you figure you could smash through, or perhaps pry up quietly. Though the question then becomes how do you get down to the bottom.
[spoiler-Reknar] I recommend that you just bust open a hole and dive down headfirst.[/spoiler]
Nic will pull up the rope and attach it to any area that will permit us to slide or climb down. "Candyman can you pry that openin' open quietly?"
"Either that or we just burst through, guns blazing" - Reknar whispers with a chuckle.
"Well let's git on wit it already. I'm hungry and thirsty, so let's move. 'nuff talk'n lets move in."

"Im not rightly sure i know how to disable a roof without making noise... but I'll give it a go."
He began searching for the proper weakpoint, prodding it, probing it then with a shrug poiting to a spot....
"Hit it right here with your morning stars... should punch a hole right through"
He began getting the rope ready for their extra awesome and heroic drop into the rats nest.
Not waiting to be asked a second time Nic obliges by whacking at the roof.
;
He quickly repeats the whack
;
then one more time for good measure
;
"Ok, git yer fingers in there and widen the hole fer us."
As Nic strikes there is a veritable explosion of wood, no need to dig in, as there is a hole big enough for two, it is also possible the section of roof might cave in.
Nic winks at the skull and then will slide down the rope into the room.
Heroes win the initiative.
Go for it
Nic moves and takes a quick glance around the room. Nic take sup a defensive position by a doorway, in case, the noise attracted anyone.
He will cast divine favor on himself using his wand. "I'll bless this endeavor once you all git down here."
