Quendar shakes his head at Anthix's impetuousness but seems satisfied that it was rewarded by a nasty sting.

He holds open the lead-lined box for the emerald to be deposited it. He closes it tightly and drops it into the Bag of Holding. Then he moves quickly to the door to the alley and pops outside, looking around quickly for any guards coming this way.

Perception: 23  

Seeing Anthix not killed immediately by the trap, Morgana sighs in relief and quickly helps him stand back up. "You'll live, though you'll have a few bruises and a hell of a headache tomorrow, and your pride might take a bit longer to heal. Come on. I've some herbs when we get back to the inn, you'll feel right as rain with a tea."

She resumes heading for the exit.

Perception: 13  

OOC:  This is the gallery/parlor. You have to go downstairs and through the lab/library to the outer door.

Viv needs to give a performance check!!

"yes yes please can we scoot along? Thank you!" waving a hand slightly annoyed that I rushed too much but just thankful I was still awake and alive knowing that could have been a lot worse.

"that door won't hold much more we need to make haste" continues with the group rapidly down the staircase to the lab/library "careful.... I hit a tile that was trapped and I'm worried there might be more...." 

Performance - 28

 Vivi watches as the others pass her towards the exit, hunching over even further as an illusory feather duster, thick with webbing appears in her hand. (minor illusion)

OOC: Did Viv cast something? What's the party doing?

The doors continue to rattle before voices calm.

"Who is it? Who's in there?" A confused voice says through the door.

OOC: Morgana, after helping Anthix get back up and taking a look at the gem, has gone back towards the lab downstairs. She's in the doorway, awaiting Viv, assuming Anthix and Q are further down.

Ooc: ya Anthix is now down in the lab waiting for the group before continuing. 

“I don”t get paid by the hour, and you are taking up my precious cleaning time young man!” Vivi croaks, “It’s the specialist cleaner, I come to dust off the exhibits once a month. Now if you’ll leave me be, I have to finish this, then do the museum in town and hopefully be in bed before dawn. These old bones need a rest boy.”

The doors stop rattling and there's a muffled deliberation.

"Well whatever you do stop making so much noise," a still confused voice says but then footsteps retreat from the door.

Viv waits a few seconds but the coast seems clear....

Stealth across the party to exit, please!

“Ok sonny boy, tata now.” Vivi bids her farewell before her posture returns to it’s normal, graceful self. As soon as she hears the footsteps stop she tiptoes down to the lab, closing the door behind her. “Coast is clear everyone. Now that the shows over, let’s not stick around for the curtain call.” She whispers.

Stealth 21

Quendar moves down the steps and to the back door on the other side of the lab/library, looking outside before exiting in case any curious guards decided to come around for a look.

Stealth: 9  

"Yes, yes, now let's be off before they realize there are no ancient hags dusting the valuables tonight, grandmother." Morgana says, closing the door as she follows behind Viv.

She takes a quick glance around to see if there is a way to bar the door between the gallery and lab from this side, to further confound any chase. If she sees something readily available to physically block to door, or sees another way to jam the lock from this side, she will do so before continuing with the others.

Perception: 22

Thieves' Tools (if required): 7

Stealth: 25

Morgana sees with help she would be able to pull a bookshelf over to block the entrance at the base of the steps or can break off a lock picking tool in the lock.

Q moving through the room barely misses a tile that's trapped.

OOC: Anthix needs to roll.

Not wanting to go through the trouble of finding a new set of picks, Morgana gives a sharp, quick whistle to Viv and Anthix. "Help me slide this over. At least make this an inconvenient way to follow."

Assuming one helps...

Athletics:  4  10 

Yikes, terrible rolls. Will spend no more than a few seconds trying to move it.

Vivi certainly looks like she’s trying to help Morgana move the bookcase, but her grunts and sighs are melodramatic enough to give her doubt. “Morgy my dear, aside from this being a rather exhausting task, isn’t the idea to make it look like we were never here?” She points towards the door they came through a while ago with Grace. ”I say we should slip silently into the night, don’t you?”

"silent is best, don't touch or take anything.... Remember we take somthing and it will tie back and not be welcome...." Anthix sighs slightly trying hsrd to resist the urge since there are so many things but worth the wait he knew.

Stealth: 26 

Morgana sighs audibly, glaring daggers at Viv's feigned efforts and moving the bookshelf maybe an inch before giving up. "Think that part went out the window when we left two piles of armor in a scattered heap, and a trail of..." She pauses, a glance of horror crossing her face as she looks at the wounded Anthix, as well as the glancing blow she took. "Anthix, you aren't leaving any sort of blood trail, are you?"

Perception:  18 

Morgana and Viv fail to shift the bookshelf. Morgana does not see blood trail behind Anthix. 

OOC: Ducking out tbe alley? Who's leading?
