Chapter 0: Thrice gone

Thrice Gone

After an incredible effort to get by the 20 foot wall, the three thieves finally reach the back entrance of the mansion.
Luckily, there's not hounds or guards outside to stop them, the cold breeze blows past them as the settle down next to the wooden door, the door's lock seems to have been enhanced, it looks much bulkier than normal locks.

This is it, their biggest heist, they're going to rob this man blind and move out of the city, maybe find some good living in Sumdiveas or Summerfell.


OOCAlright guys, this is the Prologue chapter, to see how you guys roleplay with me and with eachother as a group, you can post your actions now as you like.
Note: nothing you actually obtain during this adventure will carry over onto the actual game, however, if you gain XP or level up, you get to keep the XP/Level, so that's a good thing, I guess.

The small halfling garbed in dark green glances at the other two survivors, his eyes hungry and fierce, He sees the others more as competition rather than allies. Always eager to be the first and show off, he hurries over to the lock and looks it over quickly.

"Piece of cake," he says in a cocky voice as he takes out his picks and goes to work.

OOCDirk doesn't introduce himself as "the jerk", it's just a nickname that has stuck with him. I'm not even sure if we know each other's names yet

As Dirk's picks crackle and mash down the lock, it clicks satisfyingly as it unlocks, the door is now ready to be opened.

Miles stares down the distance, trying to spot any incoming guardsmen or any passerbyers who would happen to spot them, however, he sees nothing of use.



OOCAlright, the door's open, you get inside the house, but I suggest we wait for Jason to make His move.
Also, you three know each other fairly well, you've been quote unquote 'friends' for about a month now and you've taken to eachothers' likings (Not sure about the grumpy Drow).

Dirk grins with satisfaction as he defeats the lock. He opens the door and turns, taking a moment to gloat before giving an exaggerated bow to bid the others to enter, hoping that, if there are any traps to trip, the others will step on them first.

OOCHe really is a jerk if he'll just use others to detect traps instead of rolling perception :P

Vergil draws both of his blades as he keeps as close to the shadows as possible and he says quietly "Have a look inside. Dirk, You guys go in first and if you can knock down any candles or torches. I'll go further in a take down any of the guards that will get in our way. Shall we gentlemen?" He stands with a slight bend in his back as he readies himself to run in if he needed to.

Action:Draw Dagger and Kerambit.

Dirk scowls at Vergil, resenting being ordered around. He grumbles to himself as he pushes the door open more and peeks inside, daggers ready in case there is anyone close by.

As Dirk places his hand on the door to open it, he sees a large box shaped object attached to the top right corner of the door.
It looks as if some sort of alarm! How could he miss it? possibly because he's really short?

it looks like a very simple alarm, which could easily be disabled by force; However, Vergil begins hearing things far away, his large ears come in handy as he hears slight sounds of talking from far away, coming from the other side of the mansion.

Dirk grits his teeth as he sees eyes the trap above him. He hates how all the stunted giants put things so high up. He jumps up, driving his daggers into the wood like climbing spikes to pull himself up to the alarm's level before disabling it with excessive force, venting his frustrations.

Dirk manages to gracefully climb up the door, then sloppily yet effectively disables the device, It fall on the floor like some used up toy, and it seems like the path is clear to proceed.

The voices get louder, as if approaching, Victor can hear feint words like "Incarcerated" or "Judge".
Miles makes sure he stays low, effectively nobody spots him, and he hears nothing.
