Rethal puts his back into opening the door. He must still be winded from his first attempt because he doesn't have success with his second try. The door remains closed.
Thane checks the clouds as they pass while occasionally looking down to see if any success has been made with the door. He finally says, "Have you gone and shut it permanently now?"
ARCO will attempt it then here is hoping for a super low roll cause I am weak.
Thane, not pleased with the result laments his waiting and says,
"Do I really have to come over there and do it myself? Come on, put some muscle into it."
Looks like it, cause I could not even budge the door an inch. If the undead walked in there had to either be a person here to open the door or someone on the inside let them in. Maybe we should look for a switch that might activate the door. Failing that we should scout around and see if there is another door.
Out of Character: With a strength of 17 I should be able to open it but I rolled too high last time. Maybe this time I can get it to open.
In Character: Rethal looks at the door and then tries to open it again. Knowing that he opened it once it should open again.
Rethal, not willing to give up, tries again to open the door. After giving it all, he now realizes that he is too spent to make another attempt. He'll have to wait till he's had time to rest to give it another go.
