Dove discovers no nefarious boobytraps on the front hatch. It appears to be easy to open.

[Melblen_Cairn]

She flips the hatch easily open and peers inside weapon at ready.

The hatch pops open with ease, inside Dove can see into the interior lower cabin of the fishing boat. It's messy and contains fishing gear. It smells like bait.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Looking up at Cross, Dove signals that she is going in and drops into the hatch for a closer look before she gives the all clear.

[spoiler]Taking a 10 on search for a 15 total.[/spoiler]

[j0lt]

Cross looks down, listening for the telltale sounds of trouble.

[spoiler]Listen (take 10) = 10[/spoiler]

[jacemachine]

Dove
[spoiler]You slide easily through the hatch with your slight frame, and land on the wooden decking below. Inside the boat you get a greater sense of the sound of the water slapping against the hull. Above you Alex peers into the hatch hole, he seems to be listening.

Inside you discover, two empty metal ammo boxes. 7.62mm if you aren't mistaken. Other than that it seems like a very typical fishing boat, with assorted gear.[/spoiler]

Cross
[spoiler]As Dove slips into the darkness you listen to the sounds of the boat, hoping to detect any noise that may give away someone that could be lurking around in the shadows. You hear the waves slapping against the hull. The breeze as it catches the hatches lip. Nothing ominous though. So far so good.[/spoiler]

[Melblen_Cairn]

Climbing back out, Dove says "Clear, found two empty ammo boxes down there. Not much else of note."

[spoiler]Assuming there is stairs or a ladder she will just get out. If not take a 10 on Climb.[/spoiler]

[j0lt]

Cross nods and moves back to the others, hopping down off the boat.  "Looks like that boat was the one used by the missing team.  There are empty ammo cases lying about the cabin floors.  Let's get our gear into a secure spot to hole up.  Ronin, Heavyarms and new guy, let's get that gear up onto the dock.  Dove, Greasemonkey, and Doc, secure the front entrance."

[spoiler]Jump (take 10) = 16[/spoiler]

[Melblen_Cairn]

"Hey, two of you want to lend me a quick hand here getting back over? Dove asks before she leaps across to where the group is standing.

[spoiler]Jump Check = 12, if two of you could aid me really quick then I can stay on my feet rather than landing rather unceremoniously in  a heap again  [/spoiler]

[j0lt]

Cross grins as he reaches out to help Dove down.  "Forgot that climbing and jumping wasn't your thing..."

[BowenSilverclaw]

"Ofcourse."

[archangel.arcanis]

Doc waits for the other two to be ready then begins moving toward the main entrance slowly. Once out of ear shot he will quietly tell the other two, " Guess Cross nominated himself commander. Fine by me, long as he don't try and get us to do nothing stupid, besides one leader is important when dealing with people who take orders.

He continues to move toward the entrance slowly and quietly. While surveying the area.
[spoiler]Spot Check: (1d20+10=15)
Move Silently: (1d20+7=25)

OOC: hunting in swamps makes you a quit little bastard huh  [/spoiler]

[Melblen_Cairn]

"He's capable enough, and he does have a tendency to do that." Dove adds shaking her head. "How about we leap frog Doc, you two move forward and stop near the end of that doc and signal when clear, while I cover you?

[spoiler]Take a 10 on Spot if they move forward. I am assuming the group is likely familiar with this movement as well as the players but just in case it goes like this. So when you signal all clear I move up past you to another spot where I signal clear (if it is).

After they clear I will move to U26. Hide and Move Silent

*changes out his dice for his lucky d20* there that must have been the problem[/spoiler]

[archangel.arcanis]

Doc proceeds to the end of the dock and searches for bad guys.

[spoiler]spot (1d20+10=27)
ooc: i eat my carrots[/spoiler]

(assuming i don't see anything threatening) will signal for Dove to move forward.
(if i do see something he will act based on what it is)

edit: didn't see anything threatening so scratched the contingencies.

[j0lt]

Cross begins to help unload the remainder of the crew's gear from the rafts, keeping an eye out on the surrounding area for potential threats.

[spoiler]Spot (take 10) = 10[/spoiler]

Doc
Doc creeps along as silent as he can muster-- his boots were broken in, and he crept along the wooden planks of the dock as stealthily as a cat creepin' up on a mouse.

He peers through his NVGs, the ability to see in the dark was worth the tunnel vision that resulted. Still, he didn't see anyone lurking about. The sea breeze tussled his hair as he made his way to the edge of the dock. (S-16)


EDIT:
To his left was the large granite CielCorp Executive Retreat sign.

Flagstones of various shapes and sizes began where the planks of the dock gave way to sand. The stones created a pathway encircling a round pool of water. From it's center, a flagpole displaying the French National Flag stood high in the air.

Palm trees and wooden benches were situated around the pool of water.


He motions for Dove to move forward.

[Nanshork]

Greasemonkey stays where he is, wondering why he got "volunteered" to secure the area when he can barely see anything. 

[jacemachine]

[spoiler]

Take a 10 on Spot if they move forward... After they clear I will move to U26. Hide and Move Silent

Dove proceeds forward, keeping close to the palm trees and the edge of the stone pathway. She creeps past the wooden bench, and up to the tree trunk at U-26, where she takes cover behind the trunk as she peers around to look at the entrance.

It's a ragged hole.It was dark outside, but it was even darker within. Looks like someone had used a C4 charge there at some time recent. The scent of the explosion still lurked in the air, though there was no smoke or fires lingering. Bits of glass and metal had rained down the wooden steps and splayed across the stone path.

A thatched grass roof topped this building, running up and down both wings. A wooden deck stood out above the sand, surrounding the building itself,, and giving any executives a chance to walk the boards and see a beautiful view of the ocean itself.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Scanning the area, looking for any movements. Satisfied Dove gives the "clear" sign to Doc and covers his progress.
