IC-SWORD-The Lion's Den(Sally only)

[Mr. Handy]

In the lower lab hallway-
Sally carefully crept forward, but with each step she took her cane echoed off of the floor. She got to within a few feet of the skinhead, getting increasingly nervous, but he continued to snore in blissful ignorance. Now that she had reached him, she could see that in addition to the shotgun he gripped with both hands, he also had a Ruger P-85 9mm handgun in a holster on his belt, and a ring of keys dangled from the opposite side of his belt. He sat facing the metal door on the left side of the hallway. The large lab doors and windows were still further down the hall.

OOC,If you want to try to steal an item from the skinhead, roll Conceal. The base skill is 15%. If you fail, you may wake him up. If you try to take the shotgun and fail, you will definitely wake him up. Each item you try to take requires a separate roll, but if you try this we'll resolve the first one completely before moving on to the next. You may check out the door here or proceed further down the hall without having to roll anything.

[ryansommer]

OOC: Is there a window to the door he is guarding?

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,No, this door has no window.

[ryansommer]

As she stands in front of the sleeping guard, Sally leans towards the door and listens intently for sounds from within.

[Mr. Handy]

In the lower lab hallway-
All was quiet except for the skinhead's snoring.

[ryansommer]

Hearing nothing inside from behind the guarded door, Sally decides it best to continue on down the hall as quietly as she can.

[ryansommer]

As she moves, Sally tucks her pistol into her waist band and covers it with her shirt.

[Mr. Handy]

In the lower lab hallway-
Sally continued to the far end of the hall, leaving the dozing skinhead behind. When she reached the large windows, she peeked inside into the labs beyond. The one on the left, where the geology lab had been in the other installation, was filled with various tubes, flasks, burners, and other apparatus that one might see in a chemistry lab. That lab looked to have seen recent use, but nobody was visible inside it. The lab on the right, where the biology lab had been, looked to have a similar function currently. It was being used as a medical lab, which was obvious to someone of Sally's background. That lab had tables with sheets spread upon them and an X-ray machine, and more importantly a skinhead was inside wearing surgical scrubs over his clothes. Fortunately he had his back to Sally, as he was busy leaning over the only occupied table. Another skinhead lay upon this table, his chest cavity wide open. He was clearly dead, and the skinhead in the lab seemed to be conducting an autopsy. He was so engrossed in his work that he completely failed to hear the sound of her cane thumping on the hard floor of the corridor - either that, or it didn't concern him. The doors to both labs were open, and the stairway beckoned at the end of the hall. It looked clear from here, but she wouldn't be able to tell what was upstairs without going up them.

OOC,[b]Sally[/b], roll Chemistry or Pharmacy to see if you can tell what the equipment in the chemistry lab is being used for. In this case you'll want to roll Pharmacy, since that's higher. There is no need to roll anything for moving on, unless you actually want to enter the medical lab, as neither skinhead has heard you.

[ryansommer]

As she scans the lab, but is unable to determine what the lab is being used for. Based on conversations she heard from others, she can only guess that this is where the Skin Heads make their meth.
Sally moves as quietly as she can to the stairs and slowly proceeds up them.

[Mr. Handy]

In the upper lab hallway-
Sally reached the top of the stairs without incident and found herself in another hallway. On the right side of the hall was a closed door, this one made of wood. The hall opened out into a wider chamber further ahead, but she couldn't see any detail from here. It looked clear, though.

[ryansommer]

Sally approached the wooded door and listened at the door.

[Mr. Handy]

In the upper lab hallway-
Sally apparoched the door and put her ear to it, but she heard nothing on the other side.

OOC,[b]Sally[/b], roll Sneak again.

[ryansommer]

Sally tried to be as quiet as possible.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,You can go ahead and post your next action now.

[ryansommer]

Moved the handle on the wooden door ever so slightly to see if it was locked.

[Mr. Handy]

In the upper lab hallway-
The knob turned. The door was not locked.

[ryansommer]

Quietly and slowly, Sally turned the know and cracked the door open enough to peek inside the room. She held her breath with apprehension as she did so.

[Mr. Handy]

In the upper lab hallway-
Sally opened the door a crack and peeked inside. On the other side of the door was an office, with a desk directly across from it. Seated behind the desk was another skinhead, bigger and tougher than the ones she had seen downstairs. She recognized him too from the attack on the T-Bone. He was the one that Bo had shot in the chest with his shotgun. His vest had saved him from a more serious wound, and he had received some medical treatment since.

The skinhead saw Sally as well when she cracked open the door, and she realized at once she had made a mistake. He stood up slowly.

OOC,[b]Sally[/b], if you're going to take some action other than talking (fleeing, drawing your gun, etc.), then you'll need to roll 1d100 for your initiative. This is because both you and he have DEX 16. He got an 82, and low rolls are good, so if you get 81 or less you can go ahead and act. If you roll 83 or more, he gets to go first. If you roll 82 exactly, you'll need to roll off, so in that case you'll roll another 1d100 and I'll roll a second time for the skinhead.

[ryansommer]

Startled, Sally opens the door fully and gets into a ready stance and says in a stern, commanding voice: "Say something! Say anything so I know you're not infected! So I know you're not one of those fuckers out there."

[Mr. Handy]

In the upper lab hallway-
"Easy there, honey," said the tall skinhead, holding his hands out to show her he meant her no harm. "There aren't any of those things in here. Up on the surface, yeah, but not down here. You're perfectly safe." He looked at her legs. "Standing on that can't be good. You'd better come inside and have a seat." He motioned to a chair on the opposite side of the desk from him, between it and the door. "While you're at it, you can tell me what your name is and how you got in here."
