Unleashed

[*Selebius]

((of course))

It takes some time but the two hours she spends with searching this place pays off.

She finds some notes hidden behind a picture ( some landscape on some prime? Looks like a temple in a forest in moonlight or so), written with almost blasphemous, distorted infernal letters ( some abyssal dialect?).

There is also a trapdoor, hidden under false wooden floorboards- the mechanism to open it broken (perhaps on purpose?).

[*Selebius]

There was a trapdoor it seem but it has been barred, a few boards nailed over it so it cannot be opened anymore.
The tapping and scratching continues and Rae sees a small gap between the boards and something moving in the dark.

[*Midnight]

She reaches one finger, the one with her ring on through the gap trying to shine its light inside.

[*Selebius]

There is a growl and Rae feels the urge to roll a Reflex Saving Throw.

[*Midnight]

Having no real skill for picking locks she curses under her breath and looks around the apartment for something heavy.

[*Selebius]

There are some items around- a heavy footstool, a small marble statue of a succubus and a cast iron hatstand.

[*Midnight]

She lifts the hat stand and tests the wight before she raises it over the trap door and rams it against the wood trying to use the long heavy pole as a battering ram.

[*Selebius]

It is heavy, robust- almost perfect to be abused to serve as a battering ram.

With a loud crash it hits the trapdoor, the wood splintering, dust rising, tingling in the Mercykiller's nose, the scent of mold and rotten wood carried with it.
Raena is realizing that it perhaps will only take one or two attempts more before she breaks through.

When she lifts the hatstand for another blow she hears someone clearing his throat behind her.

"Now, now.. what are you up to? Looting, pillaging or just some good, old random vandalism?"

In the door stands a Hardhead, the helmet hiding the man's face, the voice stern but not without a hint of amusement. His right hand rests on the axe that hangs on his belt and while he is wary and prepared for violence he seems not too threatening.

[*Midnight]

She turns around looks the man up and down and slowly so as not to startle him reaches for her faction badge. She shows it to him and and answers his question with a single word.

"Justice."

Then she turns back around lifts the hat stand and resumes battering on the trap door.

[*Selebius]

"Alright. I will not ask what the house did to deserve this punishment but be so kind and close the door behind you when you are finished. The neigbours are worried about squatters."

He finished, Rae's improvised battering ram hits the trapdoor again and it shatters, the wood splintering, the hatstand wedged tightly betwee n the ruined boards.

Below there is a small chamber or tunnel, the ceiling low enough to force Raena to crawl on all fours should she decide to explore.
