Episode 2 Scene 1 The Journey North

Shump moves to examine the contraption, and calls back, "No words, strange thing. Taking look."

Stepping up and looking at the contraption, Shump sees 4 objects evenly spaced attached to the post each with to short small (about 1.5" in dia) cylinders projecting outwards at about eye level along with what appears might be a handle just below them.

Shump reaches up to grab one of the handles and see if it can be moved.

Playing with the handle a bit Shump figures out that it is used to move the pair of cylinders a step to the left or a step to the right and then back to center.

Haelga watches as the yroc friend tinkers with the mechanisms.

OOC:

So HeroAmongMen are you saying that Haelga has climbed up the metal ladder to the roof where Shump is?

OOC:

Sure, yes. I feel a bit out of my element in this tower, so I think it makes sense that she would follow her friend, Shump.

OOC:

Are the windows outside in the same places as inside, by Egret's estimation?
And since I could feel the windows, there are no magical barriers outside?

Upon hearing the movement of the mechanism, the spider turns to peer back at the top of the tower, marvelling at whatever it is that Shump have unleashed. He briefly debates if he should climb back to look at it closer, but then decides that there is dangerously limited space on the roof, and he doesn't want to interrupt whatever is happening. So instead, after a thorough investigation of the window, Egret heads further down the tower wall, intending to get to the ground this way and return to his friends the same way they came in.

OOC:

There was no "magical" barrier inside either -- in fact the exterior feels pretty much the same as the interior did. The only difference is what you see. As to positioning they seem to be about the same centered in the side of each of the 8 walls and each exterior window visually and tactilely appears to be made of the same material.

Also due to the crenellation Egret cannot see what is going on atop the tower, he would have to climb back over it.

Technically I didn't write that Egret 'saw' anything - he could have heard the pole moving, I don't imagine that it's perfectly silent. :D And he very likely heard Shump answering Brindel, too; unless this mist is thick enough to completely nullify sounds?

As for the barrier... I don't completely understand what it is then. XD Completely invisible layer of glass? The original description was "Egret makes it to the ledge of first window, he can sense a barrier in front of him but cannot see it" and I interpreted it as a force field of sorts. Did you mean that he couldn't see the glass of the window?

Okay yes my bad on the description -- no you cannot see the barrier but if you touched it you could feel it and its smooth and frictionless there is an image but you were much to close to view it but it does not reflect the exterior as its not a lot of gray.

OOC:

Where are the cylinders positioned currently? Are they each in the center of their positions?

OOC:

Again the two horizontal cylinders set side by side are at about eye level and they... assuming you moved the one you were playing back to its original position then all 4 of the sets of cylinders are all in their center positions

Shump moves each cylinder to their outer positions to see if anything happens.

OOC:

If nothing happens Shump moves them to their inner positions to see if anything happens.
