chapter three the tower pbp group

[outrider]

The day is cloudy and is threatening snow as you move along in the forest. You have spotted what appears to be road, once cobblestoned but showing extreme neglect and disrepair.

The road opens out into a large clearing. There is a tower at the far end of it. It stands about 100 feet in height and about 80 feet in width. At the top looks like scorch marks and to the left is wreckage that is very old looking. The tower itself looks to be made of rock covered by stucco that is falling off. There are no windows that you can see but there is a wide tall door at the front.

[LordChicken]

"lets see what monkeys are stuffed in this barrel" Antel said, as he approached the door.

"first lets see if these monkeys have a bite" as he searched the entry for traps(and to see if it was locked)

* See if theres some traps(perception) *

[outrider]

you detect no traps and the doors are locked. doors are Iron.

[LordChicken]

"no traps? bit too honest there" Antel says as he whips out the lock pick

* Trys to open the lock *

if fail: "well thats a tricky bugger, can one of you gents come on over and kick it in?"

if succeed:"Lady's first"

[outrider]

there is a satisifying click that can be heard from the door. It opens out a little. The smell of mildewed air and of metal come oozing out of the opening. A peek shows only darkness.

[outrider]

Morgan: did you hear that sound? it sounded like metal striking stone from within. It is almost like a scuttling sound.

[LordChicken]

"ay? what kind of scuttling? a golem? or hammer and anvil? what man!" Antel Says quietly backing away from the door,

"Just being safe"

[outrider]

I think we should allow our fighters to enter first. i will cast a mage armor upon myself.

* Morgan pulls out his staff *

Let us try to speed up the potiental combat please check postings on a more regular basis.

The lighting is dim about 20ft radius. The squares are five feet.

I forgot to place the coordinates on the map. The upper left hand corner is A and 1. The letters go across the top. the numbers down the left side.
