The Collapse of an Empire | RP Topic

The door jiggles somewhat but otherwise refused to move, of course she must’ve locked it the night before when she stormed off.

She was really beginning to worry now. “Fran.” She calls. “Please…please at least tell me you’re in there.”

She looks over the door, seeing how sturdy it was and how sturdy the lock holding it in place was.

The door and lock were simple, just normal wood and iron. Breaking them would be a slight undertaking and would be noisy but otherwise possible.

She thinks for a moment, then tries to kick the door in her panicked reasoning.

The kick shakes the door creating a loud noise that could be heard throughout the inn, the stalwart door however, refuses to buckle under the attack

Hearing the sound of Reyna’s panicked kicks Aldrich attempts to stand, leaning heavily on his sheathed Estoc. He only makes a few steps before falling onto the floor, with great effort he pushes himself back and limps toward the staircase, grasping onto the railing for support once within range.

Reyna was out of options. She went downstairs, pushing past anyone that might be there and went out the door and around to the side of the building, trying to find Fran’s window.

It would be near impossible to tell which window was hers, most had their curtains drawn, most were closed.

Reyna!” Aldrich calls out “What’s happening!?” concern and panic rising in his voice.

Reyna goes back in and tries to count the number of doors away from the wall her window would be, as well as the floor, and heads back out. Reyna considers not answering, but as she passed by Aldrich again, she replies. “Fran. Weird smell in her room, smells like rotting meat, and I’m worried.” She said, not stopping as she passes by again.

Aldrich cursed under his breath as he painfully clawed his way upstairs, eventually arriving at Fran’s Door. He poises his Estoc and strikes the hinges of the door, aiming at the screws holding it in place.

Her quick thinking helped her quickly locate Fran’s room from the outside, it was on the upper floor.

The door, already weakened by its previous assault comes loose after Aldrich’s successful stabbing. However the door still stood, it just needed a hard enough push.

Clawripper, hearing the commotion, decided to fly up, and tap on the window.

“Fran? You decent? And are ya alright?”

She tied a rope to one of her arrows and shot it just above the window, trying to use said rope to help her climb up to the window, while also using unevenness in the wall, along with other windows, to look through and see if she could see Fran.

No response came from the windows, the contents of the room kept hidden by a pair of simple fabric curtains

Leaning on the Door with all his weight and releasing a scream of physical exertion Aldrich attempts to push the door open.

Envarus wakes up after a dreamless sleep, frustration lingering from the night before. He dons his armor, cringing as it presses against the burns on his skin, and begins heading downstairs.

On his way he would see all the commotion around Fran’s room. "Is everything alright? " he asks.

Reyna would put her feet on the windowsill and attempt to raise the window so she could slip through.

Clawripper carefully opens the window, and puts a claw around the curtain. “Fran? I’m gonna open the curtains, don’t freak out, alright?”

He might find Reyna in the way as she was currently trying to open said window herself.
