IC-Ep 3-Fury From the Deep(Everyone else)

[Mr. Handy]

Spoiler:

Elizabeth could hear someone moving around inside the shack.

Spoiler:

I've activated the built-in dice roller for this forum, so you're free to use that if you wish. Unfortunately, there's no way to link individual rolls on Dark and Moody; it appears that those rolls were not logged anyway (I think you may have to be logged in for that to work).

I gave a brief description of the area in the first post of this thread; it's the same place where Leonek and Salem came ashore at the start of the chapter.

[DetectiveSocks]

Salem crouches towards the shack, he ducks underneath the window of the shack, and gets ready to peak his head into the window once everybody is in position.

[MikeTheMoose]

Chad observes Salem getting into position at the window. He then makes a similar approach to the entrance being as quiet as possible.

MikeTheMoose rolled 1d100:
95

Chad takes up position to the knob side of the door and crouches down ready to make a forced entry. Chad then focuses on Salem waiting for a signal.

[MikeTheMoose]

Suddenly Chad has a flashback to a crashing Helicopter.

[DetectiveSocks]

Spoiler:

What are you rolling for? Sneak? When I was sneaking up, I haven't made a Sneak roll yet, unless Mr.Handy asks me too.

[aine]

Tobias creeps around the back of the shack to check there are no secondary exits.

[Mr. Handy]

Spoiler:

Salem peeked through the window and saw Horsham shuffling through the store, apparently checking his inventory. His back was to both the window and the door at the moment.

Spoiler:

Tobias circled around to the rear of the shack and saw that there was in fact a back door. A pair of trash cans flanked it, and they reeked of rotting fish.

Spoiler:

That probably was a Sneak roll, in which case it definitely failed. You won't need to roll Sneak unless you're trying to enter the shack quietly. When you use the built-in dice roller, please include an OOC comment specifying what you're rolling for if I haven't asked for a roll or it isn't clear, as the dice roller doesn't have a Note field like Invisible Castle does.

[DetectiveSocks]

Salem signals a hushing gesture with his finger towards the group, indicating that Horsham is still in the shack.

[aine]

Tobias waits, listening for the others to storm the shack. Then he'll push the trash cans in front of the back door to hopefully block it.

[yockenthwaite]

Elizabeth nods in response to Salem, and stays as quiet as possible, at a distance from the shack.

[DrPeterson]

In the meantime, Leonek sees if he can find a pair of paddles from where he is standing. They'd have to move quickly once Horsham bolted off.

[Mr. Handy]

Leonek found that the upturned boats that were arrayed in front of the shack had paddles beneath them.

[MikeTheMoose]

Chad nods to Salem as he gets set to make make entry. He waits for a go sign.

Spoiler:

yes it was supposed to be sneak I'll mind the annotation for future posts. It was kind of a learner for me to use the embedded roller.

[Thorn]

Brook hunkers down next to Elisabeth. Looking towards the shack, she whispers: "I wish I had a bathing suit or something...."

[yockenthwaite]

Elizabeth smiles at Brook's comment, but says nothing in response, lest they be heard.

[DetectiveSocks]

As Salem watches everybody ducking cover against the wall, Salem tries to devise a plan as he looks at the sand and his damp wet clothes.

Spoiler:

Is it possible when earlier I peaked into the window, I could use Psychology to tell if Horsham was either in a rush looking through his inventory, or not?

[Mr. Handy]

Spoiler:

No need to roll anything. He did not appear to be in any rush.

[DetectiveSocks]

Salem hunches over on the beach, and starts rubbing sand on his clothes and kneading the sand into his hair, as Salem tousles it. Looking at his companions without any approval, Salem makes sure everybody is concealed and in position. Salem fumbles through the front door, crashing into the floor and scrambling around for something to prop himself up, Salem looks up, feigning fear in his eyes "W-what are those things?!"

[Mr. Handy]

Horsham turned around when Salem burst in, startled. "What happened?" he asked. "Are you all right?"

[DetectiveSocks]

"I-I don't know, m-my friend and I were fishing. All of a sudden a big bang went off and something grabbed me into the water!" Pushing himself to relive those frightening moments when he barely wrestled his way out of the ocean.
