(052) Reckoning the Abbey

[waysoftheearth]

The ponderous machinations of evil doers continue to churn... d6

[waysoftheearth]

So, as I have it...

inside the reliquary we have Josiane examining the statues, Desmond/Mondes looking about the room, Dieter on his guard, and Gustave lamenting the lack of a wine cellar.

Wen is outside, in the passage, with the key-staff. Along with Highbough, Guntram, Rufus, Ulric and Armando.

Torben, Dorgan, and Olaf are upstairs keeping watch in the burned out infirmary.

ooc: Correct for me...

Wen alternate between peeking down the stairs to see if anything has happened and craning his neck to listen to the upper chamber. Torch still in hand, he wonders if it is time for a little song to pass the time.

Oh, I see... Ehiker... Mondes... It's all the same. They're both surly with hairy warts, bad teeth, and whatnot...

\\Ehiker... Mondes... It's all the same.

Oops... too many characters/avatars running around in my head. Fixed now, thanks

The Infirmary

Upstairs in the infirmary Torben, Olaf , and Dorgan (recently arrived from downstairs) are keeping a watch.

It has been quiet for a while now... perhaps too quiet?

[sully]

Dorgan silently paces the room.

To no one in particular, he says, "For a tired, weary adventurer far from home, there is never such a thing as too quiet."

[Eris]

Dorgan silently paces the room.

To no one in particular, he says, "For a tired, weary adventurer far from home, there is never such a thing as too quiet."

"Aye, but Dorgan, the quiet never lasts." says Olaf rolling his shoulders to keep the kinks out.

"I wonder what's happening down there?"

[ehiker133]

Desmond eyes the statue of the hale nun more closely.

How are her hands being held? Apart? Or are they together, as if there should be something in them? What are the animals looking up at? The area where her hands come together? Or something else?

The nun's hands are held wide apart in the universal gesture of heavenly awe. The animals are depicted gazing off into the heavens also, though it doesn't appear that they're all looking at one place exactly... if they were, it would be kinda, somehow, somewhere up... there, a non-descript place halfway up one of the overhead arches. Desmond doesn't see anything noteworthy there.

Desmond moves to this arch and examines it more closely with both heads, looking for stonework or bricks that might be out of place or loose or discoloured.

If that still produces nothing, then he will proceed to the statue with the book. He will see if there are any words or writing on it that maybe Josiane might be able to read (as he doubts he or Mondes would be able to do it).

"I wonder if there is anything more to this place, other than a spot for safe worship... Seems odd to have such security for a fountain and some statues. And then there is the nunny mummy over there. THAT is a bit creepers, too..."
