Good point. Sukuzu, you want to move?

Oh, and Wawa, you might want to wait somewhere more remote from the door, in case you and Sukuzu need to flee.

Bach and Wubula make their way through the deserted corridors, tense and ready for action. As they approach the two doors they notice a few details. The door to the right looks as most other doors in the temple, a sturdy door of a wood like material. The sign next to it reads "Sergeants office". The door on the left is another matter. The door is made of some sort of metal, and is ornately decorated with images of Ilwrath sacrificial victims bound in a variety of uncomfortable poses. On both sides of the door, a large steel ring has been fastened to the wall. Lying discarded by the door is a metal beam. The sign by the door says "Command Centre". From within, you can hear electronic beeps, and a buzz of conversation.

It looks like the old temple dungeon has been remade into a command centre. This would explain why the prisoners you discovered were found in such a flimsy prison. By sliding the beam between the steel rings, you could block passage through this door for quite a while before its inhabitants managed to free themselves. On the other hand, the command centre may contain valuable information regarding hierarchy activities here, but is sure to be heavily guarded.


Map:



OOC: Got tired of waiting. New turn. If you choose to lock the room to the west, it will take whoever is in there 4 turns to break through the locked door.

Sukuzu, you want to move?

I posted that I moved Sukuzu N in my previous post. Why I'm not by the door now?

Summary: slide beam between steel rings
IC: "Wait, succubus. The enemy has set up a command centre in this godforsaken torture chamber. I'm blocking the door and then we can move on; demons are best faced divided -- and indeed divided they are. There's you and your "Alliance of Free Stars" (as if anyone can ever be free without God!), and then there's the Infernal Hierarchy... One is the Truth, and many are the faces of folly. Now radio the dog, tell him to wait a second." Bach cannot help inserting yet another snide remark, "If of course that is not beneath you."

I don't what you're talking about. You are clearly by the door. Didn't you want to talk about flowers?

For future reference, if you go back and edit posts that are quite far behind the last post without adding making a new post, there is a possibility that I'll miss them. Sorry about that.

EDIT: Also what is that in your avatar?

EDIT2: So are you going to open the door?

Heya, in case what Bach just did takes 1 AP, I think it's better if we wait 1 turn before barging in.

In a no combat situation it didn't consume any AP, only thing that does that is opening doors and moving. It's a new turn, you've all got full AP and I hope someone will open a door soon.

@Luki: How come I don't hear anything from the room? Because there's nothing to hear? Or because these are two separate rooms? Or something else? Hope there is less than 4 andros in that room though Tongue

And what now team? Are we barging in simultaneously (cause I waited for that second to pass and it did)? If so, just say when. And Wawa - ready whatever psionic mumbo jumbo you have left cause I'm all up for storming to my new level and full HP bar filled with fresh hit points. Yummy.

You do, I clearly stated so in the second to last update.

Directly in front of Sukuzu is another door. His sharp hearing picks up a murmured conversation on the other side, although he can't distinguish any words above the pleasantly relaxing music that is being broadcast from a small white loudspeaker in the roof.

As for the beeps and conversation the others are hearing out, that's coming from the command centre that Mr Bach just locked. The door on the left, not on the right.

Whatever we do, before opening any doors we should wait for Wubula to holster the Personalized Handgun and the Stun Baton.

Then, meep-eep's plan was that Sukuzu opens the southern door, and if it turns out to lead to the same room as the northern one, we barge in, otherwise Sukuzu retreats and we regroup.

But it has occurred to me that we might have been able to find out whether it's the same room by having Sukuzu use his heightened senses to hear what's behind the northern door; if he hears that loudspeaker playing music again, it's probably the same room. Too late for that though.

EDIT: I remember that I had this idea earlier, before we moved, but forgot to post it. Oh crap.

My flower sense is not tingling then Tongue Ok. I was just hoping that I'll be able to hear the conversation better if I were to move closer to the door. Before we do anything else I use my new flower-enhanced senses to scan the room, if I can use them in that manner at all.

EDIT2: Can I pick up the chair? And use it as my secondary melee weapon? Hm? Can I? *blink blink* Roll Eyes  Smiley

I think we may be  miscommunicating on a few issues. Firstly, the loudspeaker is in the room where Sukuzu is now. He heard a low murmur of conversation form the northern door, but can't make it out over the soothing relaxing and surprisingly funky music. Bach is standing next to the command centre door and can hear quite a bit of noise from in there. Wubula, who doesn't have Sukuzus sharp hearing can't hear anything behind her door. But she hasn't heard anything through doors before either.

Also, there are no flower sharpened senses. The psychic marker identifies Sukuzu to anyone who knows what to look for. Identifies in which way? You don't know. It doesn't offer him any advantages, it's like a psychic ID badge you can't read.

And the chair is stylish and you suspect it'd be rather comfortable. It looks fairly light and the materials have been picked with comfort rather than impact in mind, so it'd probably crumple lightly against an enemy.
