Out of Character: : Creating a post that might stand in for Round 2, but if so, it's ready.

In Character: :

Poljen hears a resounding clatter from inside the room and sees the door move less than an inch. Immediately his cunning senses tell him it is no longer barred and he shoves the door open, sword ready to cleave into enemy flesh. But if he does not make room for his companions, things could get tricky, so he charges through the men before him, aiming to stop the guard at the horn.

Out of Character: : Yes, Attacks of Opportunity are coming, and I am still NOT Raging yet… I've already burned through 2 today, and I fear I will need them against larger groups. So he will absorb full damage of any that hit him. If the horn guy is down before Poljen gets to him, he will simply attack someone in range.

Jack notices Fay's movement to get closer to the door and is about to rest his hand on the bard's shoulder to tell him to be careful, when he notices that Fay has actually stood still. The rogue smiles to himself: "There may be hope for this one yet…" as he lifts the stone and whispers to his companion: "That's the spirit! Nice and easy, now… Let's see what these poxy cultists have cooked for us, here.".

Both men take a moment to examine the structure, all their senses peeled for danger or anything out of the ordinary.

Out of Character:
Jack will investigate to probe and see what this structure might be used for, and keeps listening and looking for anything that may give them an indication of any traps, runes and the like.

Fay and Jack listen at the door, they do not hear anything beyond, though that is likely in part because they hear something else. A long, deep note of alarm from the gate. It is suddenly cut off, but all of the guards around the pair are now alerted and drawing weapons.

Velon swings at the man before him, but misses with his blade. He smirks and raises his own weapon, but a bolt of lightning crashes into both him and the two advancing on the paladin, flinging them to the ground.

The last guard hurriedly blows into the horn, its note ringing loudly through the room and beyond, before Poljen charges up and ends his life.

The room goes quiet, though you suspect not for long. The mechanism to lower the drawbridge and lift the portcullis lies before you. It is a bit decrepit, but it seems to have been oiled and repaired where it counts. It will take at least two strong people to operate however.

Velon is quick to move for the mechanism to raise the gate as soon as Poljen flies past him entering the room; he knows these guards are done for without even looking around. He grips one side and doesn't bother to call out for Poljen, he knows the big man is on point and aware of what to do next. He simply pauses a moment and gives whoever comes to help a nod that he is ready to begin raising the gate, although he'll be a bit thrown off if it's anyone but the mighty barbarian.

Poljen moves to the side opposite from Velon as quickly as possible and begins to work the device, hoping it is as it looks…

Out of Character: : If I roll poorly, it is because Poljen is turning it the wrong way, okay?

Jacks gives a silent sigh of relief. "Here we go! ", he thinks to himself as he looks around for a place to stay out of the guards' way, seeing them all tense up and ready their weapons after the horn signal rang out.

He puts a steadying hand on Fay's sleeve as he signals him to stay hidden and see how the situation unfolds, at the same time as he very carefully tries for the door of the copper construction.

Out of Character:
Checking carefully for the door lock, unless it's directly in sight of a guard.

The Quiet Shadow says...

"Well," the drow says to Lia, and continues with a sigh, "We're getting the gates open now there's just the question of whether or not we can find that mask. Let's hope we can still find it despite them knowing we are here." Zarra has her hand crossbow ready, if it is needed.

Lia glances at Zarra." Of course we will find it. We are about to eliminate every cultist here. Fay and Jack will have the place to themselves soon to find it, not to mention the rest of us." She encourages Poljen and Velon." We can do this." She casts guidance to aid Velon in his endeavor.

Out of Character: : Did Lia hit Velon with a lightning bolt? I really hope not. She will never live that down *wink*.
