OOC,[b]Emilio[/b] is no longer cuffed. I mentioned in my initial post in this thread that the cuffs were taken off of him last night so that they could be used on [b]Darnell[/b].
In order to force open the door this way, you'll need to pit your STR of 11 against the door's STR of 20 on the Resistance Table, which gives you a 5% chance. You would also need to roll against Sneak, which has a 10% base skill, to see how quiet you are.
Emilio gets in to position and pushes the door. It budges some but won´t move off of the bolt in the lock. Fortunately he doesn´t make too much noise, he hopes. "Help out here... put your backs to it and push.", he wheezes.
In the storage compartment- Ron staggered to his feet and leaned against the door with Emilio, lending his strength to the effort. Together they were able to get the padlock on the other side to snap, and the door swung open to reveal the empty corridor beyond. The door opposite was closed and was secured by another padlock. It was in there that the women had been locked.
Emilio hears nothing as he crosses the corridor to get the other padlock open. He looks for anything he can use to pry the door open. He whispers through the door, "It´s Emilio, I´ll try to get the door open. He also checks his pockets for any paper clips or small nails - anything that could help him pick the lock.
Outside the storage units- Emilio did find a stray nail that had gotten into one of his pockets (in truth, he had probably slipped it there when he was building the barricades yesterday evening). It would make a passable lockpick.
OOC,[b]Emilio[/b], please roll Mechanical Repair, as it's a fairly simple lock.
The only thing he hears is the curses inside his head. Along with those curses he pictures the layout of the place. Is it possible to go in a direction opposite from the way the gang left towards? Or is there a single corridor leaving away from those storage cupboards?
Outside the storage compartments-
"Wait, what's that?" called Brian's voice faintly from beyond the door at the end of the corridor.
OOC,The corridor is a dead end. The only exits from it are the door leading back to the hydroponics room, through which he was brought, and the various storage compartments lining the hall.
Emilio sneaks up to the door to the hydroponics room and gets ready to punch anyone investigating his failed attempt to get the women out. Understanding the captors are about to get into the corridor, he decides to put a hand over his mouth and shouts."Man, get us out of here! We´re not animals, man!"
Outside the storage compartments-
The door was kicked open, and on the other side stood Lou King gripping his shotgun in both hands. He pointed it at Emilio. "Freeze, sucker!" he shouted.
OOC,Since he has a ready firearm, he will get to go first if you attack him. He's also at point blank range.
OOC,Everyone is moving to the thread linked below. Please do not read any posts above the one in the link. You cannot see what is going on in the hydroponics room, as [b]Lou[/b] is in the way, but you can hear it.
