Whispers Thanks Tex.

Prost looks at Tex, motioning him forward. Then Prost walks off the platform @ 1519 to 1518 feather falling to the floor below, not touching the chest and stealthily landing on the floor in front of it. Prost checks the chests for traps.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Prost doesn't find any traps or indication that anyone is lurking in the room, so walks off the platform and feather falls to the floor below, not touching the chest and stealthily landing on the floor in front of it. Prost checks the chests for traps, but doesn't see any, so he opens it (I assumed to move things along). He finds it empty.
Tex quietly follows Prost into the room with the stairs as the rest of the party moves up onto the catwalk, avoiding the rickety ladder and using the crate.

Prost Stealthily moves about, checking for traps on the other two chest and unlocks or disarms traps if found and opens chest. Then moves on to check out the door to west for traps, listens at door, unlocks door or disarms as necessary...peeking through door

Just to move things along...clearing room and moving on...additional rolls if needed? |

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Lola is leaving space 1520 open for a front line fighter to move closer towards the action, but if no one takes it, she will 5' step into it to maybe see more.
Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Cyrius will move to 1520 and stand ready.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Tex stays where he is on overwatch and Cyrius moves up closer to the front line while Prost searches the chests. Neither are trapped or locked.
In the chest at 1418, he finds:
Scratching his head, Prost determines that he dropped about 15 feet from 1519 to 1518, the same distance that the catwalk is above the warehouse floor. Therefore, the door back to the warehouse should be right there at 1219, but it's not. And there's no sign of it. The wall appears quite solid.
Listening at the door at 1218, Prost can hear the faint sound of someone laughing. It's a giggling, childish sort of laugh.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Lola waits to see if the party repositions towards the door 1218. If a spot near the top of the stairs becomes avail, she will step to that, but leaves priority space for the front liners.

If they need to go through a door, Worrel feels that he should be among the first to go through. He attempts to move past his companions to lead the way towards whatever lurks on the other side.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Prost's assessment of the of the gold coin sack,
Prost, turns to signal Tex, that he hears someone inside, then, quietly checks door to see if it is locked, if it is, he will disable lock, and moves the door just a crack to peek in.
listening closely, Prost coordinates his actions with any noise he hears from the other side of the, hoping to mask his actions
Prost slides his Goggles of Minute Seeing up on his forehead, and peeks through door, and waits for support before taking any action...

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Prost's appraisal estimates there are about 850 gp in the sack [In fact, there are 863 gp, once anyone gets around to counting them]. He also notices that the sack seems to weigh a bit less than he'd expect, given the number of coins inside.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Ardrea will move up to the top of the stairs where she can (1519 or 1520). Ideally still near the top of the stairs with a view where she could use her spells or hexes. Flight if needed to get down in a hurry.
Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
After assessing the sack of gold coins and noticing something odd, Prost leaves all of the items in the chests in place. He turns to signal Tex that he hears someone inside.
Tex quietly moves down the stairs
Worrel feels that he should be among the first to go through. He moves past his companions to get close to Prost.
Cyrius steps in to back up Prost, Texudus and Worrell.
Ardrea moves up to the top of the stairs.
Lola waits until the rest of the party repositions towards the door. Finding the top of the stairs crowded, she stays where she is, leaving priority space for the front liners.
Prost finds the door to be unlocked, so he coordinates his actions with the faint giggles from the other side, hoping to mask his actions. He slides his Goggles of Minute Seeing up on his forehead, and peeks through door. Looking through the slightly open door, he can see part of a tall chamber that contains at least a couple of cells, each with a wall of iron bars facing a corridor that runs north.
The cell across from the door is occupied by a man in grungy clothes (G) who sits on the floor of the cell, rocking back and forth and intermittently giggling like a small child. The cell just to the north appears unoccupied, at least from the part that Prost can see.

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Post moves quietly back from the door. Looking back to his companions, Hey, looks like at least one prisoner. He could be a bit of trouble, noisy and all that. Can one of you wizardry types maybe put him to sleep? quietly

The walls are masonry and the ceiling solid wood, so not porous enough for gaseous form. Gaseous form could go through the cracks around doors and definitely through the cell bars, though. |

Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Prost stealthily pokes his head through the door and can see that the corridor leads north a bit farther to a set of double doors. There are more cells on both sides of the corridor, but he can't make out what's inside them from this angle.
Since he sees nothing dangerous, Prost quietly moves into the room looking at the prisoner (G) with finger over his lips, signaling, quiet! The man gasps when Prost enters and promptly passes out, appearing completely unconscious.
From his new vantage point, Prost can see into two more cells. The cell on the left is empty. The cell on the right contains two ordinary looking human men (M and R), both a bit soiled and tired looking. They look at Prost with a bit of hope in their eyes, but don't say anything.
