"Grumble, grumble, grumble, i suppose the umgi are right unbaraki, grumble, grumble"

Action: Continue search, have axe ready to chop the elf in 2 if he does a suspicious move near me.

[Baardah]

I can tell that your petty argument isss mosst amusszing young ones

The robed figure points his serpentstaff towards the elf and the dwarf.

'in the grand scheme of the universsse I can assshure that you are both but younglingssss"

"Now, fellow sseekerzz of thruth, assk yoursself, would a forcced kidnapping be the only way for a young dame to disssapear ? Sssss..... Sssshe could have sssimply walked out herssself under cover of nightsss darknesss...
Wether under command of her own free will, or due too a forcccced mind, now that isss a quesssstion...."

Action: concentrates to scan the room for traces of magic or spellcasting

[danny1995]

"If someone did come into the room there would most likely be signs of dirt or the like," Sylvanos said addressing everyone and no one at the same time. "And it would also be fair to assume that in such a wealthy home the residents and servants would be smart enough to wipe there feet," loose dirt or leaves could be a sign of someone who does not belong being in the room.

action: search for dirt, leaves, pieces of grass etc.

[Mist Walker]

Sylvanos was close to giving up hope of finding any uncleanliness. The servants who serviced the room were fastidious to say the least, despite the haphazard scattering of belongings the room was close to immaculate. Every surface had been carefully dusted and there wasn't so much as a stray leaf to be found from outdoors. He had completed a circuit of the front room he found anything amiss. A strand of thick wool caught beneath the door leading into the corridor.

Viktor had also taken an interest in the door. Running his fingers over the frame, he could just feel a carving beneath, painted over so many times it was unnoticeable to the eye. "I've found something," he said. Most of the others gave him one look then went back to what they were doing. Sylvanos was closer though and mimicked Viktor, running his hand along the wood.
"It's nothing special, just elven carvings underneath."
"That's nothing special?" the Kislevite asked, "I wouldn't consider that usual."
"This city was elven before you humans infested it. I doubt the building's original but I wouldn't be surprised if some scavenger had taken wood from an older building. Though why you'd want to use wood I don't know."

Reikard had only just stepped out of the room when the woman that had shown them there stepped up. "Where are you going?" she demanded.
"I hoped question some servants, find out if they saw anything."
"They haven't. We already asked."
"Maybe you didn't ask the right questions."
"We did. They saw nothing. If you have questions I will answer them. Back inside," she ushered him back into the Princess's rooms, following on his heels and shutting the door behind them.

"So?" the woman asked, glaring at Viktor who was running his hands over the door to the corridor, opening and closing it repeatedly.
"Was the princess... behaving strangely at all?"
"No stranger than usual."
"She didn't-" Reikard was cut off when Viktor staggered back from the door.

"What is it?" Thorin grumbled, turning to look out into the corridor. "And why is it so draughty?"
Viktor took a moment to answer. "That's not the same corridor."

[danny1995]

"Well, I suppose this must be what we're looking for?" Sylvanos says bluntly, "Mage, what can you tell us about this, it must be magical, be it the work of daemons?"

Action; Stare mistified down the new corridor and ask the mage to scan for magic

[ThaneWill]

"Bha!? That's not possible umgi..... There is no such things as two corridors in one door. But if somehow a great dwarven architectonic wonder has taken place i say we most split up and take one corridor each......" "But now, lassie, why can't he ask the servants anything? Why are you acting so suspicious? Not a smart thing to do under these circumstances. " Thorin said, turning to the woman. Then he walked to the door that seemed to be very weird and started observing it.

Action: Be very suspicious on the woman and inspect doorway.

[Jozabad]

“By the Chaos hell,” Yuljolf cursed under his breath. Yuljolf was now as much on edge as annoyed, and suspicous eye carried over the serving woman, hands ready on sword and holster, Yuljolf's warrior sense, fined tuned over his years of service as a soldier, had him ready for anything. “You best do something wizard, I know your kind, the Empire wizards where always involved in all things strange and stupid, this seems no different.”

Action; Stand ready, keep one eye on the woman, push the wizard for answers.

[Baardah]

"I hardly thinksssss there issss any doubt that this is the work of ancsssient magic" hissed the hooded one.
" as pathssss open thossse ssstanding before it, ssshould walk through"

Action: focuses to get confirmation of an enchantment on the door and the corridor

[DefenderOfTheWinterGrove]

"Its true what they say, Dwarfs are slow to learn, as I said before we are dealing with magic here, the laws of nature don't apply, so forget them. Now lets go down the passage, they were counting on it staying hidden, so it most likely won't be warded."

Action: Berating the dwarf again, ready his weapons, and preparing to walk down the new passage

[danny1995]

Not one to be out done by a lesser race Sylvanos moved towards the Kislevite readying his bow and readying an arrow for a quick shot. "I suppose it is best that we are prepared for what may be down this hallway, since no-one else seems capable, I'll lead."

Action; Pull out bow and place an arrow ready to be drawn and released, start moving slowly and quietly down the hallway

[DefenderOfTheWinterGrove]

"Finally a creature of action, even if it is a puny elf."

Action: Also draws bow and begins to move down the corridor as silently as possible

[ThaneWill]

Thorin saw the elf get his bow and walk down the path. This was a bad thing, teh group would think he is better and everyone knows dwarfs actually help humans while would elves kill them on spot. `i´ll be going with ye to then´ While speaking he took out his pistol, loaded it and held it ready in one hand. With his other hand he grabbed his smaller axe. ´But that lassie over there, comes too, and she´ll move in front of us, so we can see her.´

Action: Walk down corridor with axe and pistol ready. insist that the woman comes with us so she cannot do anything sneaky beyond our backs.

[Beithir Seun]

Drawing Bertha from the holster over his shoulder, Reikard reconsidered as he saw the elf, Kislevite and Dwarf move ahead of him into the corridor. There'd be no use for a repeater handgun with people in front of him, and so he reholstered Bertha and instead drew the sword at his side before advancing into the corridor behind Thorin.

[Baardah]

With a speed that surprises everyone the hooded one quickly moves to claim
A position right behind the elf.

Let me walk bessside you, young one he hissed to the wood elf.

Action: walking along with the others readying to cast his windblast spell should the need rise. Hence walking to the front so no friendly ones are blown into walls

[Git]

Leon decided that the if the rash ones wanted to rush into things it would be well to guard their backs. He did not see any need to draw his sword yet, but kept his hand near the pommel as he moved to take the rearmost position in the queue down the passage. Leon kept his ears open, and occasionally watched the passage behind him as they made their way.

[Jozabad]

Yuljolf now held shield and sword ready, following closely behind, guarding the rear of the group, signalling the serving woman forward making sure she stayed in view.

[Mist Walker]

The corridor was cold. Breath misted in the air and the men and woman were soon uncomfortable, having dressed for a warmer clime. Light shone down onto the floor ahead, but it was a weak sunbeam, not like Luccini's harsh summer sun. The investigators would occasionally glance back, anxious, but there was nobody there. The woman seemed particularly uneasy but didn't offer much resistance to being guided forward.

Rounding a corner, they almost collided with a man, an elf, walking toward them. He stopped abruptly and scowled at them, holding a clutch of scrolls to his chest. "What are you doing here?" he asked in elvish, looking down his nose.

OOC: Sorry for the delay, I've felt really disgusting the past few days. Onwards!

[ThaneWill]

"Shut up elf! Who are you and what are you doing here? " Saying that he pointed his loaded pistol at the elf......

OOC: edited small bit, beithir points out below.

[Beithir Seun]

OOC: Will, you know he was talking Elvish, right? Either your Dwarf is incredibly clever (not to mention, breaking all the moulds about Dwarfs and Elves...) and can speak Elvish, or he shouldn't/wouldn't understand what the elf just said...


There was a commotion up ahead in the tunnel, but Reikard's view was obscured by the various forms ahead of him. A voice spoke in what sounded like elvish, although even Reikard could detect that the tone was both surprised and unwelcoming.

Trapped as he was between the people in front and behind, Reikard could not do much except hope one of the group in front had the sense to accost the elf and make him talk...

[danny1995]

"Good day," Sylvanos responded in perfect elvish pushing the uninteligent dwarf out of the way. "It would appear that you are just as confused as to why we are here as we are to what here is, could you possibly tell us?"

Action; Be polite to elf

[Jozabad]

The group stopped, a small commotion was heard from the front, Yuljolf could make out Elvish been spoken. Staying on guard Yuljolf moved closer to hear, keeping his perception sharp, listening to the tone of conversation, making sure its was civil and not hostile.

[Git]

Leon feared the dwarf would not take being pushed aside kindly, and moved a couple of steps closer. He glanced back, and saw no possible threats approaching. Leon said to the dwarf: "Master Thorin! How's the beer around here? Golden brown is often my favourite." He said the words beer and golden louder, and tried to be sure the dwarf heard them, especially. He would not want to be involved in a fight with an angry dwarf in a narrow corridor.

OOC: Leon tries to distract the dwarf from getting angry, with talk of beer and gold.

[ThaneWill]

Thorin glanced back at the knight he knew were he was up to, not getting a potencial ally killed. He decided it was best to have it his way. He could dance on the mans grave when a elven dagger has been slid through his throat. He roared back: "Beers good, Elfs not!"

"But now elf, speak up."

Action: Point pistol away but keep it ready just in case.

[Mist Walker]

The elf brightened as he caught sight of Thorin and switched to Dwarvish. "Ah! You must be one of the ambassadors, I apologise for my rudeness."
Back into elven he spoke to Sylvanos, "Elf, why have you brought these barbarians and this dwarf here? The dwarf is welcome. The humans..."
The elf's face contorts with distaste and then he speaks in the human tongue. "What brings you here humans? This is an inner circle of Tor Anroc, your people are supposed to be restricted to the outer ring. And yet more and more of you have been slipping in recently. Explain."

[ThaneWill]

"Ambassodor!? ME!? BHAHAHAHAHA!" Thorin laughed out loud. "Perhaps, perhaps not. But elf, tell me, what's going on at this moment." "Oh, yes, don't worry about those humans, they are me and Sylvanosses bodyguards right guys?" < OOC: *wink, wink* > Saying this he shoved his pistol back in it's scabbard. But he kept his small hand-axe ready just in case.
