The Lucky Archer

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

Valerie rushes down the dark, droomy staircase. Being much longer than she had originally expected, she ends up being out of breath by the time she reaches the bottom.
At the bottom of the staircase, however, is not a room, but rather, a latch, that seems to open into a room of sorts.
There is no ladder, so supposedly, she'd have to jump down to whatever is in the darkness.
What does Valerie do? @NethaEmerald
Going down continues her turn.
Going back up allows her to use her remaining movements.
Post here with response and RP.

Valerie, having gone through the effort to come all the way down here, out of breath as she was, she knew she wasn't getting back to the rest of them anytime soon. "Well, here goes..." She muttered to herself as she opened the latch and hopped on down to whatever awaited her below.

Valerie jumps down, and lands on the hard stone that makes the floor of the room. Looking around, the first thing she notices are bars, similar to those of a traditional jail cell.
However, if she where to turn around, she'd see a young man with the the world's messiest hair and large glasses, who was scratching at the wall with a tool of sorts, and didn't notice the woman drop down.

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

Once finally on solid ground again, Valerie grunted a little from the fall and looked at the iconic bars. "Did I seriously just jail myself?" She asked aloud to herself, not aware that someone else was in the room until she heard the scratching, to which she turned around and saw this man. She asked him "Are you okay? Where are we?" as she lowered her sword.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

The young man quickly turned around, and greeted the swordswoman, "Well howdy there, wasn't expecting anyone to crash in from the roof in a place like this," he scratched his head in slight confusion. "We're in the jail cells of the castle. I was tryin' to protect Noelle, but those guards captured me and took me down here. I hope she's alright..." He paused for a moment to adjust his glasses.
"I'm Dexter, by the way. Many call me the luckiest person alive!"
"Though I doubt you'll believe that, since, y'know, I'm in jail and all."

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

"Name's Valerie. Also, you are lucky: you got someone armed dropping in with you." Valerie said as she looked around the room and felt her pockets. "Just sucks I don't have a key..." She softly muttered under her breath. "I don't suposse luck has shown you how to get out of here?"

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"I don't know, either," he dug through a pouch on his belt, taking something out, "But let's find out." He reached out his hand, showing two dice, "Evens or odds?"

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

Valerie just rose an eyebrow at him. "Looks like I might have to try and break this pen and try to force this lock open..." She thought to herself as this man seemed to not take her seriously. "Odds...?" She responded.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"Alright, evens are mine."
Dexter quickly tossed the two dice into the air and let them roll onto the floor. He ran over to where the stopped, and knelt over them.
"Let's see what we got here..." he examined them, "Looks like a 4 and a 6."
"I guess its my lucky day!"
"Again!"

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

Valerie sighed. "You... don't have any ideas on how to escape..." She muttered before speaking up to him again with "Odds again." as she went for her Pen to examing how it could be useful.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"Nahhhh, just hand me that there pen," he argued.

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

Valerie held the pen out to him. "Only small tool I got."(edited)

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"Don't worry about it. This spoon aint getting me anywhere," he tossed the slightly sharpened spoon across the cell.
He quickly turned towards the wall and started shaping the pen by scratching it against the wall.

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

"I hope for both of us this works..." She said back to Dexter.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"Well, why don't we find out if this is better than the spoon."
"Evens or odds?"

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

"... Evens." Valerie spoke in defeat.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

He tossed the dice backwards without looking. One of them bounced off of Valerie in the process. Both rolled onto the floor.
"What is it?"

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

Valerie kneeled down to take a look. "2 and a... 4?" She spoke back. "Yea: a 4."

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"Well, fiddlesticks, it seems you won that time," he answered. The pen quickly became sharper... more likely to fit into the key hole. Dexter blew on the tip, and turned around. "Try using this to unlock that there door," he tossed it back to Valerie. (Valerie's Pen is upgraded to a Pen +1!)

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

Valerie nodded. "Let's see if I got the energy to." as she attempted to make her way to the keyhole.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"Ah, c'mon! You can do it! I've been down here with no food for like..."
He thought.
"45 minutes!"
"You gotta be able to walk, like, 7 steps."

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

"Fine..." She muttered as she eventually made her way to the locked door, moving the pen in a way she hoped would help them out.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

The door made a creaking noise, before gently opening. It made another huge squeak the more Valerie pushed it. "Aye, you did it! Its our lucky day!"

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

"Heh... guess I can't give this pen up now." She said aloud, in amusement with a small laugh as she stowed the Pen away. "Well, I guess stick behind me." She added on as she drew her sword.
Her Blooming Katana.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"Ah, don't worry about that, miss," he added. "I got lucky and smuggled that there bow into this very cell!" he pointed to the bow laying on the ground in the corner. "Lemme just grab it real quick."

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

"Be quick about it." Valerie remarked, her tone more serious than before.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

Dexter obtains the Lucky Bow.
"Yeah, yeah, alright." "I'll be able to get even more lucky crit shots than before now... I'm feeling lucky."

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

Valerie carefully peered around the door corners, waiting, needing to catch her breath a bit.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"What are ya waiting for? Its not like we're still trapped anywhere."

NethaEmerald-01/02/2017

"Then you go on ahead then: I need a small moment still to catch my breath." She responded back.

Mappy | Best Dog-01/02/2017

"Who needs rest when luck is on your side!" Dexter called as he marched outside the cell.
