Upstairs Corridor
None of the electric lamps along this short corridor appear to be working. There must be something wrong with the wiring but it's impossible to tell in the darkness. There are windows to the left, properly blacked out, and the vague outlines of four doors to the right and one at the other end of the corridor.

Re: Upstairs Corridor
"Darn, wish I'd brought a torch or something." Charlie knocks on each of the doors, waiting a few moments at each for a reply.

No response from any of the rooms.

Charlie glances back down the corridor, pockets the medallion, then checks the end door handle. Seeing it's unlocked he peers inside, flicks the light switch a couple of times, then closes the door. He moves onto the last door on the right, opens it, and enters the room.

Re: Upstairs Corridor
Charlie exits the fourth room and checks the remaining doors, seeing they're all locked, he pulls a deck of playing cards out of his coat, shuffles it briefly, then looks at the top card. Seeing a diamond he stows the cards in exchange for a small leather pouch, selects a torsion wrench and pick, then sets to work picking the second door from the right.

Re: Upstairs Corridor
The door around the jamb feels quite rough to the touch, but it's hard to make out why. It doesn't take long to pick these rather large and inexpensive locks.

Re: Upstairs Corridor
Ilona rushes up the stairs as quickly as she can. She stops momentarily to catch her breath before running up to the window. She tries to open the window, assuming it doesn't open, she slams her fists into window and starts screaming. "Help!! Help us! Somebody, we're in here!!" Figuring it was futile, she runs into the nearest unlocked room

Re: Upstairs Corridor
Jonathan reaches the upper floor and takes a look around before calling out: "Miss Aston? Is everything ok?"

Re: Upstairs Corridor
Her voice comes from behind the door to Room #2: "Everything's fine... I managed to get the window open." A pause. "Would there happen to be a ladder around here, do you know?"

Re: Upstairs Corridor
Charlie stops just short of crashing into Jonathan as he bounds up the stairs, "What's happenin' up here?"
Re: Upstairs Corridor
"Hello, what's this about a ladder?" Artemis came up behind Charlie and asked down the corridor. He turned to Charlie and shrugged in confusion.

Re: Upstairs Corridor
"No idea", Jonathan shrugs. "But I don't think there is any ladder in the building. Have you seen one?" He then starts moving towards the room where Ilona is.
Re: Upstairs Corridor
Ilona walks out of the room and into the corridor. "We'll need a ladder... unless any of you boys can jump out a second story window?"
Re: Upstairs Corridor
"Not likely, Artemis replied and tapped his walking stick a couple of times while grinning. "But, it wouldn't take long for us make something of a rope from blankets or even curtains if there are any in the room? No one else up here, right?"
Re: Upstairs Corridor
"Oh, I-I haven't been to the other rooms. Should I check? I'm not sure I'll be useful tying together rope and blankets..."

"RIght, Jonathan, we can do this. A little blanket rope and knotwork will give us a level of assurance as we crawl out of this place." Artemis smiled and patted Jonathan on the shoulder. "Well, I can say that I learned something in the trenches in France! We need to tear or cut the blanket in a couple of strips and work on the knots. Don't want to drop this one, nor let the duchess downstairs fall on her down stairs!"
Artemis winked and headed into Room 2. As he did so, he turned about and looked at Charlie and Ilona. "So, should we try to open these other doors and make sure we don't have another surprise lurking about this damn place?"
