OOC- actually, half elf, but that's ok. ;)
IC- Skye cleared her throat. "Skye, bladebard, alignment good neutral."

MODRON OVERSEER "Correcting. Addressed by halfelven female. Recognition softwear upgrading." (Whirr, chunk)"What information is required, Skye? Is this request in reference to your earlier speech? " (here, he gives a perfect imitation of your voice)"

"Pardon me, but we were told that a thief of a belonging of Lady Aruella,was seen last in this area. You would not perhaps know any information that would be of help to us to track him down?"

"If so, that would be in reference to General Alert #45646576-32A, issued 1 hour, 32 minutes, 45 seconds ago. Subject man was seen disappearing into a structure forbidden for occupancy and scheduled to be demolished on Day 30, Plane Revolution 6,875,456. It is to be found just over the horizon to the East. Warning, danger to any that enter, except Demolition Modrons, Modes 17A, 62, and 88, revision b."

JETT (He leads the group to the East, where he spots the building that the Modron Overseer apparently was in reference to. It is a large, ramshackle building, several stories high, with an easily defined entrance, the door of which is swinging loosely. Entering cautiously, he feels his foot, cautiously extended, touch a board which gives slightly. Probing with his greensteel dagger, he finds a hidden spring, which he releases with a satisfying "thwang." He flushes with happiness at the the achievement, thinking with gratitude of Imoen, who taught him that trick, back when she was his girlfriend.) :D

Good Job Jett letting his eyes adjust to the gloomy interior Kaz'erthimon looks around and then pulls a copper common from a small pouch on his belt, muttering a quick incantation the coin begins to glow softly, not unlike a torch, the glow illuminated the dilapidated building making it a simple matter for everyone to see inside.

OOC>> Nice try, boyo, but Imoen was just leading you on. You're not her type. IC>>
You see a corridor streching for about one hundred yards. There are two doors on the left, three on the right. The end of the corridor is difficult to see, even with the light.

Beorn

moves slowly down the corridor and stops in front of the first door. He appears to be listening carefully for a few seconds, then proceeds towards the next door.

As soon as he reaches it, he freezes. Gesturing to the rest of the party, he beckons them forward, while signaling to them to be quiet.

JETT (He freezes, concentrating on trying to find any more traps.)

Skye stopped, and her cloak brushed against a wall, triggering a trap. The stone slid away, and a steel cable latched itself around her throat. Since it had been behind her, Skye hadn't noticed the trap, and she tried not to make a sound as she struggled to breathe. 'Even if I die, I won't ruin their element of surprise,' she thought to herself. 'That's what adventuring is all about.. you never know when or how you're going to die.' She nodded to herself solemnly, then made a face, struggling to pull the cable away from her throat with her hands. 'But why does it have to be such a pathetic way to die?!' One of her boots scuffled against the floor, as she struggled in vain to breathe.
OOC- sorry, just trying to liven things up i suppose..

Seeing Skye struggling Kaz'erthimon slowly began stepping towards the woman, drawing his blade he brought it down quickly against the cable, with a blow that would sever it without harming Skye.

The blade struck with a shower of sparks and electricity arced from the clable to the blade throwing it out of the Githzerai's hands as well as knocking him backwards to land in a heap on the glowing coin, and darkness veiled all once again as the light was covered.

OOC: to liven it up some more :D

OOC- and of course we're doing this all very, very quietly. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
IC- Skye rubbed her throat gratefully and gulped down fresh draughts of air. Striding over to Kaz'erthimon (very quietly!), she offered him a hand up, giving him a appreciative smile.
(jk)While all the rest stand around, collecting dust..(/jk)
OOC- oh yea, we sure livened the place up! look at all those happy smiles! ^.^;
