The mystery of Benfal (Moore, Tryll)

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Ilsenine squeezes your hand up and takes to the air.

Make a Spot check.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 46

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d100
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 92 > [d100=92]
> roll 1d100 subtables
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 74 > [d100=74]

You travel for a short time, hand in hand. Soon enough you come to a rather large stone cottage sitting by the riverbank. It's classically made, down to smoke coming from the chimney.

[Nephrite]

"Huh." Moore shrugs at Ilsenine and flies towards it with the intent to knock on the door!

Taking 10 for 49 on any ambient magic that may be in the area or on the house. It's kind of suspicious since it's... you know, a stone cottage and not a ruby cottage.

[Anastasia]

Spellcraft?

[Nephrite]

durrrr yes

[Anastasia]

There's strong abjuration around the house. It's protections against teleportation.

[Nephrite]

Huh. Doesn't want sudden visitors?

Moore will knock on the door -- well, as best he can if it's made of stone, anyway.

[Anastasia]

You knock on the door and it cracks open slightly from it, but nothing else. No reply from the knock.

[Nephrite]

"People who leave their doors open usually invite visitors." Moore says as he nudges the door open to get a better look inside. "Hello?" He raises his voice. "Is anyone home?"

[Anastasia]

"How curious," Ilsenine remarks as you nudge it open. It's a small room with a mat and a few pairs of boots in the corner. Another door leads you deeper inside.

[Nephrite]

Moore opens his mouth and then rubs his chin. "We can't teleport out of here, but I'm pretty sure if we run into a problem it's something we can handle without a lot of trouble." He says as he flies in to go knock on the other door.

Take 10 for 49 on spellcraft again in case there's anything else weird going on.

[Anastasia]

There's no unusual or new magic here.

This door isn't so easily opened and there's no response to your knocking.

[Nephrite]

Moore will try to open the door to see if it's locked. He's not going to start breaking down doors here, but this is kind of weird to find.

[Anastasia]

It is indeed locked.
