Out of Character: Good job Txtrpg, that will make things lighter so we can focus on the real story. Just remember I'm right behind you with my bow.
In Character: "What's the matter Avan, what do you see?"
Out of Character: Avan can post actions for what you want to do. Might be a secret door or magic but you will probably need to make rolls. Same with Arkanoth. Once you guys have done that I can just say the rest of the group is waiting.
In Character Arkanoth looks up from his book "Did you find something?"
Out of Character Spot and listen checks are all I can do right now
In Character: When Faerydae hears what Avan says she freezes. She then breathes and looks behind her and then back at the group. She thinks, "That was close, there is no one behind me.". She starts her silent prayers again.
"I'm sorry but there is no way to open the secret passage from here," Admits Avan. "There could be a switch or lever in another room, probably in the room this door leads to. We should go to the end of this tunnel and see if we can turn south. For now, let's just mark this location."
In Character: "Now that's a strange place to have a door"
Krusten goes over to Arkanoth and says, "Let me see your map, young man".
"According to this map that should lead back outside unless this place covers more of the underground."
Speaking at Arkanoth, "You should try to check, maybe you will find the mechanism to open it."
Out of Character: Is there a roll I can make here to try and find the secret door even if I do not have the skill?
In character "Well I'm not sure if there's anything that I can do about it, but every door has to be opened someway or another"
He will start to examine the door a little bit closer, if nothing then he will examine the walls around them.
Out of Character: Ditto, you took way too long to put that as your action. You can try next time and like we said if you're doing something specific then put it in the leader thread with your rolls.
