RP Free for All: Chapter 9

You slink around to the backside of the building, ducking under a few windows and moving past some large garage doors. Near a couple of large trash bins you find a dingy looking back door. Numerous cigarette butts litter the ground.

Looking down the hall behind the podium, you see two major paths you can take; You see a staircase leading up, where your nose catches the aroma of fresh bread. You also can continue down the hallway past the stairs; though you do not notice anything distinct about how that route looks, you do believe you hear the sound of running water far down the hall.

The two of you follow the alley that Val did not walk. You see at least one larger window, where you spot Susan & Lexa standing at a podium, and a sad looking eladrin leaving them heading upstairs. Aside from that, this side of the building has no other doors or windows, but does have a fire escape. Around the back of the building, you see Val squatting, staring impatiently at a small window, like a cat about to make a poor decision. You also notice several large garbage bins, a locked back door, and numerous cigarette butts on the floor.

All of the windows around this side of the building appear small and squat, located high up on the wall; probably for ventilation rather than viewing. However, none of them seem covered. You can't quite see through them where you are standing, and will either need to pull yourself up to them or find something to stand on.
