Castle Down- Emilie Autumn

WHO || Val'drin, Thoster, Chiaki, Morgan, Deadpool, Fred Jr.
WHAT || The gang investigate a creepy castle that's fallen through the Veil
WHERE || Portugal
WHEN || Saturday, July 7th, evening
HOW || Actionspam

[ As missions go, it's pretty straightforward. A week ago, a large, creepy looking castle materialized on a cliffside above a small town in Portugal, and the locals are too freaked to go check it out. No one's gone in or out, and theoretically it could just be empty. But seeing as how it probably came from the Shadow World, it could also house artifacts that the Knights should get their hands on before evil doers do. So it's their job to scope it out, maybe loot the place of the good stuff, and make sure no threats are hiding there.

Val'drin surveys the place with hands on his hips from the gate. ]

I believe the phrase is a 'fixer upper'.

[Oh this is a way more fun plan. Deadpool yanks a pin out of a grenade and tosses it in through the door (ranged atk 20?) just in case there's something waiting to ambush them.]

BANG!

[He looks over at Thoster.] I hope you don't die second.

[ hey

hey guys

make a reflex save (dc 15)

because the moment those words come out of deadpool's mouth, the porch collapses out from under them, as it fall open to reveal a chute that leads down into blackness. as fred jr. will find out firsthand because he was just standing there laughing at thoster and deadpool one moment, and then vanishes the next. ]

[ whereas val'drin jumps nimbly backwards onto the stairs with ease, and then leans over to look down the hole at whichever of you all fall down there. yeah, he's not gonna try to catch any of you. fuck that. ]





Damn.

[Chiaki jumps out of the way as well - she's equally uninterested in helping anybody else out right now. They're the ones chucking grenades about, after all. :|]

Brilliant.

[Morgan's been keeping to himself at the back of the group this whole time because Pat's an idiot and forgot to tag this. Oh, he's also lucky enough to scramble backwards just in time and avoid falling down the hole.]

Suddenly knocking doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster's shitty Reflex save (I rolled a 1 guys. No joke.) makes sense. He just kicked a door in. He's not exactly great with the balancing.

So down he goes. With Fred. Sorry, bro.]

[Deadpool got a 14. Whoops. But he got a 17 on his knowledge (fourth wall) check! So he shouts as he falls down the chute.]

CURSE THE DIIIIICE!

[ if you made your save and avoided, the trap, please turn to page 7.

if you fell down the hole, turn to page 69. ]
