"Let us follow these boot tracks to their source, and if it does indeed turn out to be skeletons in boots, a most ignorant assumption, I shall buy both Xan and Kivan a glass of wine back in town."
With that Edwin follows Minsc toward the middle door, a smirk working its way playfully onto his face.
Lost about halfway through the babble of Edwin, Minsc agreed. "There is too much whining in this party for the tender ears of Boo." That last was for Kivan and Xan, who were specialists in 'whine'. Lifting his leg, he gave the door a full-force kick and prepared to smite any and all evil that reared its ugly head when Minsc approached. Sometimes, he wondered what it was like for Evil, knowing that Minsc was at large, and huge.
OOC Remember when I said we would never surprise anyone in this adventure? Now I'm sure every monster/villain in a 10 mile radius can pinpoint where we are.
OOC: @mlnevese Reminder. INT 8, WIS 6 is all kind of stupid! I always hated that he was too eloquent for his stats. The key is to convince him that being quiet is a better way to fight evil. Not that he'll remember, but it's worth a try
The door flies open... revealing... another empty, decaying bedroom without furniture. From the doorway, the floor here doesn't look particularly safe. Some floorboards are missing while others appear to have suffered partial collapse. Out the window is the best view of the coast you have yet seen. Something about the shape of the cliff and the land around enables you to see the coast best here from all the windows in the house...
The lock is clean and easy to work and appears to have been freshly oiled. This is another dirty, filthy bedroom, the floor, as in the middle room, appears quite unsafe, with broken and missing floorboards. In the far corner of the room lies a man, gagged and hogtied. He sports a black eye and is dressed only in his underthings. He's been stamping on the floorboards with his feet, and when he sees you at the door, he slumps and stops his stamping, hanging his head as if in relief.
Tamoko casts detect evil, trying not to attract the man's attention in doing so. After the incantation is complete, she's going to check if the man is as sparkly-black as she is.
OOC: I'm assuming it glows white or black or grey to determine alignment or some such.
I'll tie my rope around my waist and get Minsc to hold the end. Then very carefully I will cross the floor, checking for loose boards. I will take the gag off the man (being careful in case he tries to bite or kick me)
