Okay -- here's my opinion on what just happened, although I'm thinking we might discuss this "off board" so the GM doesn't eavesdrop ( ) (just kidding)

I think the Duke is being held captive in the tower. (single bed, table and chairs) The so-called "bodyguard" and the teamster are using the Duke's carriage to transport something very heavy "the teamster cracks his whip and the stallions move off in unison as though they were a team of oxen carrying heavy load." The duke and the old man never come out of the carriage all day, even to relieve themselves...what's up with that? I don't think the duke is in the carriage at all. The tower may, indeed, be a "miniature prison", and the trap door may be something like a bunker for the Duke to dive into in case of trouble (or perhaps used as storage for food and water -- or both?). When LaReina and Alex come down from the vantage point, I hope we can check that out next.

What other reasons could they have to leave an armed escort locked up -- leaving their transportation as well -- whilst they go deeper into the scary, evil forest??

What do you all think is going on behind the scenes?
====================================================
Kettle's heart sinks as the torch light lights up the fortified door -- no obvious way to open or pick or break. As the circle of light finds the ends of the room, it's obvious there is no other way out....

LaReina's cries from the top of the tower are incoherent and incomprehensible!! Leaving? What is she talking about? We're the ESCORT! What are those logger-headed fly-bitten varlets -- the old man and teamster -- thinking to leave us behind? What is *really* going on here??

As Alex and LaReina struggle at the top of the tower, Kettle can hear the boards and planks squealing and creaking...

Kettle turns and hunkers down by the trap door, feeling around its borders and sweeping away dust and debris with her hands. With the torch light up at the top of the stairs, the lower floor is very dark. "Heric. Come, bring your sword and stand ready whilst I investigate this door..."

"Get down from there before you kill us all! That wood is gonna give."Heric shouts so alex will be sure to hear him(hopefully).

OOC:I think we should check this trap door,it looks as though we may be being forced underground,but I dont want to say too much.(The underdark is my fav.thats where the dragons are he, he!)
Ummm yeah lets check on that trapdoor.
------------------------------//------------------------//--------------------------------------

sssshhiiiiiingg the sound of Heric drawing his longsword sweeps the air.
"All we can do here is starve,lets check the door kettle."Dont forget to look for traps on the 'trap'door he he."

With Alex now down the stairs he sees that everyone is staring at the trapdown and Kettle. "See any traps or anything from this door Kettle or Alex?" Slowly a grin spreads across her face, "Yes this is going to be fun. I thought we were going to have sit on a wagon all day and shoot a bow at some cows who wouldln't cross the road, but this..." Trailing off everyone can see that Reina is pumped for the action. Still holding the torch she brings her sword out of her sheath and sweeps the torch closer to the trap door to let the two sneaky people see what's what.

==============================================
I don't know what to think right now. i'm so confused about what's going on and the little clues the GM do give are so freaking small and vauge it's hard to gauge where's he coming from or thinking. I do believe that Kettle could have a point it's sound cool. Okay so now what?

We need to hear from Alex and then determine our next moves. The clues are supposed to be vague, so that if we don't catch 'em, we're in trouble. He wants us to move with caution, think about the angles, and figure out the puzzle -- if we can!
============================================
Kettle nods thanks to Heric and LaReina for their quick responses.

"I'd also like to inspect the big door again... see if there be *some* way to trigger it open... maybe a latch that's hidden to the side of it, maybe there is room to slide a dagger around the jamb. The torch is only good for two hours, and the others are strapped to my horse, so let's make use of it and light up the room again -- search under the bed, in the bed, under the table and chairs, etc. -- as well as investigating this trap door as thoroughly as two thieves can."
==============================================

Nods to Kettle. "That's sounds good. Let's really check out and investigate this prison."

==============================================Since the GM already said the main door was a lost cause, but if you want to try again aiight. and hey Heric didn't alex say that you were to post for him if we wanted to go along with the thing... he just said to let the GM know that you were doing it, but since it seems that you weren't on either... anywho so let's investigate this prison.

"I'm gonna open the trapdoor."
We need to find out if the door is storage,or if somehting is waiting for us on the other side,I cant have that on my mind.

OOC:has anyone heard from agent?Sorry I'm so late today,I had to see my brother off to iraq.god bless him.

anyway let me know what you want to do if agent does'nt respond.

didn't he say for you to post for him as him or somhting like that. i say that we double check the door and room for kettle then we check the trapdoor and see where it leads. tha game is getting good and it seems to be going kinda slow. that's my bet to do, but if we must i guess we'll wait for alex, but i'm for going now and having you post for him.

Hello, I've just came back. We gotta work on the Party Order, so here's what we can do: Search the bed and the table, look for any trap in the trap door and open it. I too think the main door is a lost case, but if Kettle feels like trying to open it, there's no problem.

I'll be back in a few minutes to read again what happened and then I'll post the Party Order.
