Masugatan reaches for the book with his free hand and tries to drag it out.

Jednesa will cautiously open the door, gently pushing or pulling as needed (if it's locked she won't force it, yet).

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 62):

the book is bound in heavy to poi led leather with brass inlay and closures.
it is locked with a small padlock.


the door on the other hand, may need some assistance, as it appears jammed, both the hinges and the locking mechanism are warped.

Masugatan searches the book for small wires or anything else that looks like it might trigger a trap.

19:41, Today: Masugatan rolled 10 using 3d6.  Search for traps.

Jednesa turns to Emma, "Door jammed, lock broke.  Move up stairs bit, give Jednesa room, Jednesa open it."

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 66):

"Sure."

She give Wednesday plenty of room...

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 65):

the book is kind of tingly, but there are no traps on it he can tell...

perhaps show it to the wizzer?

"Okay."

Jednesa takes a half step back, then forward and carefully puts her foot on the door.  Then again but smoothly, but still carefully; then she steps back, takes a deep breath, lets it out in a growl as she steps and kicks the door stoutly!



OOC:  All-Out Attack (Strong), Kicking door, no need to attack roll (DFRPG pg 22).

18:35, Today: Jednesa rolled 15 using 3d6+6.  Door Bashing damage 3d+6.

Doors as objects for bashing are listed on DFRPG pg 82

Ooc: It tingles right through his leather gloves?

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 70):
The book tinhmgles through your gloves.



the lock is DR6/HP 12.  the door is 25/46

therefore, the lock screeches and warps, door opens outward btw, but was buckled outward to you

“This thing is tingling through my sarding gloves.  Yowzer.  Anybody else want to look at it?  I’m not much of a reader, anyway.”

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 72):

"That sounds like something Christine should look at. I will go get her. You guys have some light when I go?"

"Got something you want to glow like a torch for several days?"

Whatever Emma chooses to be lit, the younger sister will hold it while she casts, then hand it back.

[Private to GM: 18:16, Today: Elaina Grattan rolled 4 using 3d6.  Continual Light (torch) (13).  Crit!  No fatigue cost, anything else special?]

"Jednesa see okay without light," she answers Emma's question and goes back to opening the door...

Narrator:

door opens outward btw, but was buckled outward to you

If there is space, Jednesa will slip the edge of her handaxe/mace into a crack and try to pry it open enough to get her fingers around an edge and pull it open (yanking, jerking, heaving, etc), otherwise she snarls and kicks it again.

Whichever way works for you, I rolled 'em:

18:34, Today: Jednesa rolled 10 using 3d6.  Forcing the Door, Quick Contest ST 24 vs Lock's ST 12.  MoS +14.

18:34, Today: Jednesa rolled 17 using 3d6+6.  Door Bashing damage.  3d+6.

And yes, it is disconcerting to the Player that the door is buckled outward, so something hit it hard enough to dent it, while Jednesa isn't strong enough do so in return (at least not without getting angry at the door)...  Jednesa doesn't seem to notice though.

“I still have this torch, if anybody wants it.”

He reminds himself to make fun of himself later.  How civil he has become lately.  This behavior was unbecoming of a street punk.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 76):

"My staff glows. It is the rest of you in my absence I am checking."

"Oh, sorry, we misunderstood.  We've got the tent pole with the light on it that Holy Sister is holding for Masugatan, and we can both make more lights if and as needed."

In reply to Evelina Grattan (msg # 78):

"Very well. I will go find a mage to check out the book."

She heads off to find Christine, who is guarding the cart, along with Chris.

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 79):

Christine will look to hide the cart, and hide Chris nearby, before she returns with Emma. It may be sometime.

Uncertain what else to do with the torch, Masugatan tries juggling it.  He’d wanted to try this ever since he saw a man do it at a street fair many long summers ago.

05:07, Today: Masugatan rolled 11 using 3d6.  Juggle torch.  (My Dex -4 is 9.)

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 81):

the torch falls on the moldy, dusty, bed, and the coverlet begins smouldering.


[private to Masugatan: something to do as soon as that door is open]

"Holiness!!  Fire!"

Even as she calls for her older sister, the younger sister steps forward, gesturing as she speaks a couple quiet words.  Water pours from her hand onto the dusty bed; she attempts to direct the flow so as to douse both torch and smoldering bedding.

[Private to GM: 18:13, Today: Elaina Grattan rolled 9 using 3d6.  Create Water (roll to cast, 13). 1 gallon, 2 fp
18:18, Today: Elaina Grattan rolled 14 using 3d6.  DX (12) to aim created water at the fire.]

Masugatan steps back, blubbering an apology.  Obviously, he wouldn’t qualify for any self-respecting circus, at least not in the near future.

OOC:  GM, just pointing out msg# 75 above in case you missed it.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 85):

Jednesa rips the lock off the door... it is now a few inches open and will need to be yanked further.
