Walking over to a window near the boarded up area, he did his best to make sure the coast was clear before slipping inside. He would go first; as the most athletic one of all of them he would be uniquely suited to handle any trouble that arose from a hostile reception. But hopefully it wouldn't come to that. They would find out soon enough.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=313762.msg15262599#msg15262599">Quote from: Callie Del Noire on 02-02-2020, 18:20:39</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Wallace Aiden Burthold-Campbell</strong><br/><br/>Wallace looked round as well, before glancing back to his companions. He opened his jacket and discretely pulled his pistol out to check, as he glanced around the square. He knew how to shoot and work in a tactical situation but he knew Gordon was the real thing, whereas he walked somewhere between solider/spy/boffin. <br/><br/>“Now I think this is where we .. how did my adjutant put it? Oh yes, ‘Prod Buttock’. Gordon, how would go about taking a building like that? Or entering it in a way to ensure we don’t get shot? I doubt anyone that made the hole in our dear dead solider is going to be offering us tea.” He figure Gordon would have the best insight, so deferred to him. If one of them got wounded.. Dany would be the one to help with that. All he would be able to help out with is educated guesses once they got the mysterious widget that was used.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The corridor is dark. A flicker of light from a Zippo in Dany's hand reveals the shadowy shape of the hallway and the wooden stairs leading up.<br/><br/>The walls are damp, chipped plaster.

'Lili Marleen', perhaps Lale Anderson, perhaps one her many competitors, the song is popular all across Europe, it's difficult to escape. The 'store-room' on this floor has a bolted on metal latch secured by a heavy padlock. But there's no-one in sight, and the other apartment on this floor, which you have just crept through, is empty of any sign of recent human habitation.<br/><br/>There is a brief smash of glass from upstairs, heavier, more like a wine bottle than a wine glass, and the sound of a man and woman's laughter.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>GM Notes</strong><br/>Creeping up the stairs carefully would be a Physical Test with bonuses for agility or stealth traits.<br/><br/>Charging up the stairs isn't a test, but will be noisy, even with only three of you.<br/><br/>Conversations held at a whisper down here wouldn't be overheard by anyone upstairs.<br/><br/>Currently there's no way to contact HQ for reinforcements that wouldn't take a lot of time.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">More GM Notes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sorry dicequeer, if you come back you can yell at me for taking over your character foe a moment.</div></div>
