Situation Update: Monday
Hello, again.
We've been very busy today, and I'd like to thank everyone who pitched in to help prepare the places for a potential attack. There were no reports of any disturbances outside, so it stands to reason that we are still safe for now. I'll try to cover all the bases in some semblance of order, but I'll likely forget something.
First, Jaime found two pair of binoculars if anyone wanted to volunteer to take turns watching from some of the upstairs windows. We've managed to unlock one room on either side on the top floor, though I'll be the first to admit it worries me we could only unlock those two doors up there. Rooms 1207 and 1216 are open, and they have fairly decent views to both sides of the hotel.
Second, we're toying with the idea of patrols, but we were hesitant to suggest it because if something did happen, it would be our fault even if someone did willingly volunteer, knowing the situation. That said, we cannot stop you if you wanted to do so, but we do strongly advise you take someone with you. Even if you're a crack shot or have amazing reflexes or strong magic, the element of surprise is one that cannot always be overcome.
Third, we've established two safe rooms on the third floor. Rooms 317 and 318. They've been warded and set with several protection charms to deter entry to anyone not already here. If someone happens to arrive, they'll be keyed in to the wards as well. We're not certain the wards will hold up against reavers, if that is in fact what's coming, but they will at least buy time and give warning. While you are welcome to sleep in those rooms in the event an attack comes at night, it might get a touch crowded.
We are asking for armed volunteers to be able to watch those two rooms, or willing to take shifts staying with the people who arehiding residing in there.
Fourth, we've set up a make-shift medical center in the lobby. We honestly couldn't find much by way of actual medical supplies, but I am harboring some hope that in the event of an attack, our captors will provide us with the means to take care of any wounds received. If anyone has any healing skills and is willing to volunteer their time, we would appreciate it. We're also using rooms 215 and 216 as infirmaries for non-emergency medical situations.
We are trying to prepare for every eventuality, but we are admittedly dealing with a fair number of unknown factors. We may be doing a lot of waiting for nothing, but if we aren't, it is best to be prepared. If you have questions or suggestions, or ways you think something could be done better, please don't hesitate to let us know.
We're all flying blind here and just doing our best.
