It is already late in the day, and me thinks that the more light the better for this venture. I propose meeting at the tower bright and early in the morning, though now that we have permission to be there, is anyone interested in checking out those plinths now?
"That sounds like an excellent idea, Zeldin. I've been resting today expecting to be up all night exploring the sewers. Anything would be better than that," Garion says, laughing.
"I agree! The sewers are totalli NOT the place for a lady to be! If u wanna check the plinths I'm up 4 it!"

Looking up at the plinths atop the outer wall of the keep, it seems clear that they where designed to hold something high enough to be seen from outside of the keep, unfortunately from the angle you are looking from on the street, it is hard to tell what that something might be. On the plinth to the right of the entrance a series of scuff marks are visible on the edges, perhaps something that happened when something was manoeuvred onto or off of the plinth.
Nik will ask Zeldin to give her a boost up if he is okay with it so she can check on top of the plinth
NIK will try to go on top of the Plinth to check it well if Zeldin and Garion will give her a boost
Samant is goign to take off his armor and climb up with Nik.
Climb
If Samant can get up there before NIK, She will ask for his hand to help her up (with also a boost by Zeldin and Garion from below hopefully!)
If she gets up there,NIK looks around very carefully

NIK proposes we all go to the main door then!
Does NIK know who has the key?
Even if she does not she will check for traps on the main door just in case before anyone turns the key
Perception
Nik, I know you are eager to get in there, but we do not have much daylight left and I think we will have an easier time if we wait until morning antd try then.
Zeldin takes a walk around the keep to see if he sees anything unusual that was missed in the gloom of night.
"All right! If u think it best!!! I guess I m gonna have 2 get used 2 thinking teamwork more! I learned that with the council thing today!

NIK goes to inspect the sewer grate ... she draws her dagger as she gets closer ...
"Guys it looks like someone has moved the sewer grate!"
Looks as though our path chooses for us. There are others seeking entrance to our prize
Nik, did you see that? Something down there was watching us!Zeldin says with alarm in his voice.
Zeldin starts picking up stones from the ground, and muttering and gesturing over them briefly, illuminates one and throws it down the grate to see better, then another, and another not stopping until nearly a dozen have been launched into the inky darkness.
"Shall we continue?" asks Garion, hefting his mace.
Perception
Samant will draw his club. And peer down into the now lit grate.
Perception
"I didnt see anything! Only that the sewer grating was moved! What did you see? anything creepy? I hope not! yukkkk! What do u guys wanna do? I say if we've been seen we shuld move sooner then later!"
Agreed Nik
Samant walks up to the front door key in hand.
Garion will follow Samant.
Nik will squeeze between the 2 and check for traps on the door before Samant opens it
Zeldin nods his head in assent to the suggestion to enter.
I cannot be sure what I saw. A pair of glowing red eyes. Maybe. It was so quick that I might have imagined it, but truthfully, I do not think I did.
Zeldin grips his spear tightly.
"GLOWING red eyes? I dont like the sound of THAT!"
Check 4 Traps:
NIK steps aside and lets Samant do his thing
NIk has a throwing Dart in one hand, her dagger in the other
Zeldin waits toward the back with Nik.
Sounds Good to NIK! :-)
Zeldin can tell me more juicy details on yur Crimson Coin 'negociations'! giggle
Zeldin waits toward the back with Nik.
Key in the lock and turn to unlock.
Keep an eye on that grate I don't want anyone sneaking up our backs.
"Let me go in first, I can see better in the dark than you, Samant," says Garion, pushing forward.
NIK keeps her eyes on the grate
Once the doors are unlocked, Garion opens them and enters, looking around warily to see what waits for them.
Perception
NIK shivers, almost expecting 2 see a GIANT magic dummy with a goldfish head and glowing red eyes 2 come at her and the group!

As the gates swing open, Garion is confronted by the sight of carnage.
Around the courtyard there is scattered debris from now unrecognisable objects, twisted metal and splintered wood lay amidst shattered glass and cracked stone. Three bodies lay broken on the ground in the middle of the wreckage, each battered heavily, with thin cuts and blistering scars covering their exposed flesh. The doors into the tower itself hang from the hinges, swaying slightly in the breeze.
Can NIK tell how long ago they have been killed? like from the rottingness, stink and all that?
and one more thing ... when NIK sees the mangled dead bodies (it IS the first time she sees that!) she ... SCREAMS!!!!!
"YHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!"
we're talking B horror movie, blonde in the shower caught by Jason, kinda scream!
NIK will wait until Samant and Garion enter. After they have she will make her way and check our the corpse with a big yuckkk on her face ... she will poke them with her dagger first ... just in case ...
