This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Thraim nods in the affirmative towards Semina as he loads a bolt into his crossbow.

(Sorry, my new place has no internet. I'm working on getting some. In the meantime)

Naren has been increasingly nervous since entering this place. It's the disquietude, one might say, of a professional lion tamer encountering an elephant for the first.

The powers here may well be beyond him and he is unsure what they are in the first place.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

"I'm going to take a quick glance," she whispers.  "Just for precaution be ready," she smiles uneasily.

Semina's senses have been hyped up a notch since the verbal warnings left by Jean-Louis.  Not hearing a sound from the next room doesn't give her confidence there is nothing lurking, but her desire to find a way out leaves her no other choice.  

OOC: Can you describe the door that I am about to open?  Do I have to push or pull the door open?  Where are the hinges?

It is a heavy oak door with iron bands attached to the hinges on your side.  Pulling it slightly, you notice that it swings easily, with no noise, as though routinely maintained and oiled.

Peering through the crack, you see part of a enormous hallway, sumptuously furnished, with rich tapestries on the wall, gilt edged sconces, intricately painted walls, and the red carpeting extending in front of you.  You can see it is easily fifty feet wide, but you will have to open the door a bit and stick your head out to see the rest.

Semina pulls the door open slightly and peeks through the small opening. "The carpet continues surrounded by tapestries and furniture," she speaks softly.  "There is a huge hallway and the rooms is about 50' feet wide." She holds the door with quivering hands.  "I can see no more unless I peer around the door," she pauses "or we can just plow through."

Thraim chuckles and says jokingly, "well, we are welcomed guests after all, aren't we?  Let's see what other "hospitality" this manor holds.  Lead on Mistress Semina."

Semina takes note of Thraim's sarcasm as she throws him an hesitant look.  "Welcome guests huh," she remarks dryly.   "Come out of hiding," she dares the charitable hosts as she whispers into the unknown.  

Semina opens the door enough to let her head and upper body peer around the corners.  She takes protective measures to let only herself be seen, not letting the others be known in case danger rears its ugly head.

OOC: Now that she has peered around the doors, is there anything else to be seen?

You peer down the hall, which is fairly well lit by torches and chandeliers, but moreso on your end by the enormous window behind you.  Even so, after about 80', you are unable too see much detail, other than the hallway is gigantic, and as lavishly decorated as your end appears to be.  There are more doorways further down the hall, but it is difficult to judge the distances to them.  Across the hallway from where you are, you can see another door.

Semina finishes her scouting of the room. "I see no one on the other side so far," she remarks.  "Just a bunch of torches, a big hallway and doors of plenty."  She begins to open the door for all to see and enters the room quietly.  "Let's see who will be our welcoming party this time," she looks back towards her companions coaxing them to enter.

Semina proceeds to the door across the hallway from the entrance. "I've always been told to take what comes first," she leans up against the door to listen for any noise.  "Anyone smell or sense anything out of the ordinary?" she looks to the group.

OOC: Once again Semina will listen for noise at the new door in front of her.  
WOO HOO!  Semina's got to get her ears cleaned!
Listen roll. (1d6=1)

Naren wanders this side of the hallway, looking for anything that looks arcane.
