lab exploration thread!

[foundjuanting]

[Today there's five people over by the entrance of the labs]

I believe that is all we need...

[distorbed]

I'm ready. What is our plan?

[maleborgia]

Has our gonfalionere decided upon a rearguard?

[cardinalsinned]

[don't encourage him, otherme]

Is everyone armed who wishes to bear arms?

[redemption_fail]

Yes--as armed as I think we can be.

[foundjuanting]

[talking to Daniel, who goes and comes back after a little while.]

The north hall is dark, and the west looks like it is inhabited. The south might have information for us, but I don't want anything to come at us from the west.

[distorbed]

I caught a glimpse of something in the vents. We must stay on guard and ensure that no one is left unprotected.

[hint hint]

[maleborgia]

Of course. This is not to be a journey towards death, after all.

[cardinalsinned]

That was the idea.

[but the implication is he doesn't believe it]

[redemption_fail]

It was unlikely that we could avoid a confrontation.

Already, we're going on the offensive against whatever's down here.

[foundjuanting]

Only as far as we need to. Now, we will head to the west hall, making sure each room is clear and taking what we need from each, after we will take the hall to the south.

[distorbed]

[BUT I DIDN'T SUGGEST WEST FIRST]

Why not station some of us in the main corridor while we examine the south? I don't know if taking the offensive is the best plan.

[Branching to talk to Juan]

[redemption_fail]

I can watch the west, but what are you expecting to come out of there?

Re: [Branching to talk to Juan]

[foundjuanting]

I don't know yet, but if we leave it unexplored and go south if anything should come for us we will be pinned away from the exit. If we are to head deeper I would make sure we have as clear a way as possible.

[redemption_fail]

So we foray down the west passage to clear the way.

[foundjuanting]

Yes, or until we know that we will not be troubled.

[redemption_fail]

*draws his sword*

Have the crossbow ready then.

[foundjuanting]

I will.

[distorbed]

[wait you're talking to Juan right]

[foundjuanting]

[Sob yeah he is]

I would have you go first though.

[distorbed]

[sorry i don't speak pope]

Me?

[foundjuanting]

You are carrying the lightest weight, and you're the one with the lightest feet. Simply go ahead, and come back and tell us if there is danger.

[distorbed]

[You can't be asking me to...?]

You're not following me?

[foundjuanting]

We will, just a small distance behind.

[distorbed]

[Looks at Juan suspiciously, but does what he's told. In a few moments, the beam of Daniel's flashlight can be seen steadily down the passageway ahead.]

[foundjuanting]

[Welp, from what you can see there's three paths to take. It's a fairly standard lab setup, with flickering overhead lights. Some of them have burned out, but for the most part the ones in this hall cast some sort of light.

To the west there's a long set of doors, most slightly open or entirely open, with the occasional scratch marks on the floor or stains on the wall. To the east is a hall with the light tapering off further down it goes, until it's all but black at the end. To the south is a set of signs and... writing. Writing not by any kind of steady hand.]
