“Worrel, you still look a bit hurt,” Tex says.
He'll move to 922 with bow ready again.

Lola readies her crossbow and moves up to 1025. She lightly taps the box with her foot, making sure it isn't alive.
Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
The party moves up in support of Prost, who manages to pick the lock on the door. The room beyond is dark, but there's enough light from the everburning torches in the warehouse to see what's inside. The chamber is absolutely packed with boxes and bookcases overflowing with ledgers and papers in no apparent order.
Tex comments, “Worrel, you still look a bit hurt”
Lola lightly taps the box with her foot and is relieved to discover it's not alive.

Waiting on actions from Ardrea, Cyrius, and/or Prost, but I'll be out of town next week, so there will be a delay unless I see something to react to in the next day or two. |
Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Cyrius stands ready for the door to be opened.

Prost unlocks the door...and opens it.
Prost not seeing anyone in the room, checks for traps, if he finds any, he will disarm it then...

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Finding no traps, Prost enters the room and starts searching. Sifting through the papers and ledgers packed into the room takes a little time (10 minutes) and Prost comes to the conclusion that the files all relate to a business that ran out of this building about 10 years ago. There's no real order to the papers, but it doesn't seem like there's any recent information. He's about to give up when he spots something shiny hidden amongst the junk. It's a ring engraved with an odd fish design. The eyes of the fish are blue crystals.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Prost, Snatches the ring and stows it in one of his pockets. Calling out to his companions “ Aye, there be nothing but bunch of papers and ledgers dealing with business activities in here. Looks to be dating back about 10 years but no recent activity.” walking out Prost heads for the next closest door to the east. He does say before moving on… “It’s safe if anyone wants check it out… not well organized though ”

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
After searching the papers and pocketing the ring, Prost moves to the next door, supported by Cyrius, while everyone else stands guard. He doesn't find any traps and easily unlocks the door.
The chamber beyond the door is mostly empty, littered with loose stones and dust. There is a decrepit ladder (at 1329) leading up to a platform level with the catwalk in the main warehouse.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Prost checks the rickety ladder for any dangerous rungs on ladder before ascending.
and search's platform for traps around the door @ 1527 before alighting on platform.
if door is trapped he will disarm traps...
if door is locked he will disable lock
and he searches the room...

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Inspecting the ladder, Prost realizes that, while the ladder and its individual rungs look safe, the platform to which it is attached at the top is not. Putting any substantial weight on the ladder is likely to cause it and a big section of the platform above to collapse.
There's nothing else of interest in this room.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Prost looks for an other way access the door @ 1527, moving to the crate @ 1321 he looks see if he can access the catwalk 1420-1426.

Rolls needed to access catwalk? Am I correct in assuming door 1527 is on second floor with catwalk. |

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
No rolls needed. Prost can climb on top of the crate at 1322 and pull himself up to the catwalk at 1422. The door at 1527 is indeed at the catwalk level. I have limited connectivity right now, so no map update...
Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Prost looks down on the warehouse floor and motions those that have been providing cover to follow. Prost then focuses his attention on the catwalk, moving towards the door at 1527. He checks for traps...
if Prost finds a trap he attempts to disable it...
Prost checks the door if it is locked he will attempt to unlock it
If Prost unlocks the door he listens at the door before entering, and if nothing of note is heard he will open door and search the room.

Doesn't the door at 1527 just go to the platform that is about to fall? Are there any other exits to the catwalk other than that door? |
Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
After climbing up on the catwalk, Prost motions those that have been providing cover to follow. He opens the door at 1527 and confirms that it just opens onto the unstable platform in the south room. There is nothing of interest on the platform itself. Prost doesn't find any traps on the catwalk or the south platform (other than the fact that the south platform is ready to collapse).
However, in his thorough search of the catwalk, Prost notices that there are some footprints in the dust up here, as if someone has been moving about on the catwalk recently.

On the map, I put Prost back at the point where he first noticed the footprints, but they seem to be all over the catwalk. Trying to figure out where the footprints actually go will require a Survival check... If it's not entirely clear on the map, there are doors at 0927, 1227, 1220, and 1527. That last one is up on the catwalk. |
