I poke my head out from under a table. Sorry took a nap. Who is this person?

The barbarian looks for something to tie off her rope to serve as an anchor should she fail her ascent.

Once satisfied with that (and it could be just Doc’s waist!) she ties the rope around her waist and clambers out the window to climb up the wall to the parapet.

"We haven't seen much of the city," Zifu said to Axu, unable to track Greta and Doc as they disappeared. "As we mentioned previously, we had been incapacitated for four days. We were in the stockade, unconscious, when the city fell. We had just awoken and tried to find our way out to the Legate's office when we encountered you."

She looked up. "I'd ask them if they knew anything about hooded figures, but..." She let the rest of the statement end with a gesture toward the attic.

Jauk looked over to Toyachek, "Hey Toyachek can you help me move one of these tables in front of this door?" He indicates the door he just closed, "If that small horde of undead looking things get through that previous door I want to make sure they are slowed down again at least long enough to give us enough time to make a go of it."

When Finn popped out Jauk looked a bit surprised, "Whoa wee folk, got any more surprises hiding around here?" He then looks at Finn and replies, "Jauk ze-Kaziganthi and who be you?"

I look Jauk up and down with disinterest. Finn Greenbottle at your service.

I make my way to the ladder and climb it.

Greta looks around with a glint in her eye.

Thankfully, Doc's waist was not needed, as she spotted a sconce next to the window. She proceeded to tie off her best knot, and pulls off a reasonably stable knot that was nondescript.

She angled a foot onto the sill, and flipped awkwardly around, leaving her slanted backward. She began to climb with arm strength alone. She made good progress, with her feet almost out of sight, until Greta's left hand pulled sharply downward, taking loose stonework away with it. The veracity of her climbing left her without a foothold, and gravity got its own word in to send her plummeting.


Doc would witness her go up, then down, past the window. The rope she'd tied off pulled taut after a moment, then loosened itself and escaped the sconce with a sliding hiss.


Toyachek nodded at Jauk slowly, smiling a square-toothed smile. "Of course. I'm glad you had that idea too." He began to walk toward Jauk, only to be stopped by a breathless grunt and meaty thwack of one Greta Ingvarsdottir smacking against the sill of the window he was currently next to.

Greta takes 3 damage.

He turned back, and looked down.

"Climbing not go well?" he frowned, turning to help her through.

Greta accepts Jauk’s help with a grateful expression as her feet dangling over the edge leaves her with little purchase.

Once in she nods her thanks before grimacing at her bruised elbow. "Gods damn that hurt. "

"The wall is slippery. I don’t know if I can make the climb.". She looks around and her eyes land on Finn.

"Dingus, you can climb the wall, yes?"

"Are you all right?" Zifu asked as she approached Greta's side.

The big woman shrugs, "I’m ok. "

She follows Finn up the ladder. She ties a rope around his waist and holds the line. When you get up there, tie it to something secure so Doc and I can get up there"

OOC:
@SJoyner72 -- that was Toyachek that helped Greta not Jauk ;)
Jan 21, 2020 4:17 pm
Zifu watched Greta return to the task, then she looked over at the Muldini man. "What is your occupation, Mr. Revulde?" she asked, studying the high-collared Drathian garb.
OOC:
Is Revulde wearing a long coat with no sleeves, like an Inquisitor?
Jan 21, 2020 6:23 pm
I wink at Greta and climb the wall.

OOC:
No. It's a vest, with a shirt underneath. Also, everybody is healed to full for simplicity reasons. We'll treat their time here as a long rest for funsies

Finn hops out nimbly and begins to climb the wall. Moments later, Greta would see him drop along with more loose stone work. Thankfully, he weighed nothing was easy to fish back up, but Finn slammed against the wall from the sudden stop.

Finn takes 4 damage.

Revulde clicks his tongue at his cylinder, beginning yto fiddle with it.

"Engineer," he muttered. "Had s bloody shop in the trade district. Someone burned it down durin' the ruckus, and thank my foresight that I prefer sleepin' underground."
Jan 21, 2020 6:37 pm
Zifu nodded. "Workshops can be replaced, but your life cannot," she said. "I am glad you and Mr. ze-Kaziganthi have managed well."

She turned at the sound, and winced. "I don't suppose any of you are familiar with the layout of this fortress?"
Jan 21, 2020 6:55 pm
Greta hauls Finn up like the day's catch. We're not having luck tonight. frowns Greta. Then the very strong woman gets an idea.
OOC:
How high up is the roof? How far can a Str 16 character throw a 45lb halfling?

Once Jauk and Toyachek finish moving the table in front of the door he looks over thoughtfully at Xiao then says, "Well it has corridors and rooms and doors and windows," then he smiles and winks at her, "was there something specific you were wanting within this structure?"

Zifu's expression was one of practiced patience. "We seek access to the Legate's office," she explained, reminding herself that Jauk was not present during their plans. "Lord Mardelik believes that documents might be found within that either help explain what happened to this city, or point us in the direction of finding the answers.

"I am inclined to agree with him, though we are currently having difficulty in finding the best route."

OOC:
It's about 15 feet up. And she can always try!
I spit rocks out of my mouth. I can do it.

Revulde shook his head. "Drathians have always thought me a spy. They wouldn't let me near the place, but they're happy to take their 'discount' for allowing me to vend in the city. Feh." He sighed, putting the cylinder in his satchel.

"It's broken. I just want to leave..."
Jan 21, 2020 7:45 pm
Axu sighed. "Perhaps we should just leave... It feels more and more unsafe the longer we linger."
