Faelyn notices an odd seem on the wall in hex J 19.
Truk releases Lucrezia and glances at his wound.
"That sword of yours is damned sharp, but I'll live. It's not as bad as the beast downstairs that caught me in the gut with his horn and almost tore me in half."
"You can make it up to me tonight", the big orc says while grinning between his tusks.
"I would say that I have quite a bit to make up to you later Trouble. Just don't try to even the score by trying to kill or eat me and I'll give you something to enjoy later."
Andrea checks out that strange sail that she noticed that had the oddly colored paint.
Andrea it is a scroll.
Lucrezia check out this seam in the wall. Something is weird with it.
Andrea tries to determine what kind of scoll it is.
"I'm looking forward to it."
***
Truk clutches his wounded shoulder and goes to examine the scroll.
"I saw that too. What is it 'Drea?"
Lucrezia moves over the wall where Faelynn is pointing and examines it more closely.
It's a divine scroll, Breath of Life.
Well now, this is quite the find. Breath of Life is a healing spell that can bring back those who have died, but it has to be done within seconds or it won't work. Plus they can't have taken so much damage that their body has been ruined.
Lucrezia you figure out how to open the door that leads in to a secret passageway. The stonework is a fine quality.
"Nice job Beautiful!", Truk cheers as the secret passage opens up.
"Let's check it out."
Lead on Lucrezia.
Andrea follows behind Faelyn.
Fluer is not keep on being by John right now, so she will following behind Andrea and have Orsin fall in behind her, letting John pull up the rear.
There are a couple intersections and adjoining tunnels.
"Alrighty then. On into the dark and spooky tunnel."
Lucrezia picks back up the light stone and proceeds into the tunnel.
Faelyn casts message on Andrea and whispers to her.
The tunnel to the west of where Grimm is on the maps just dead ends into a stone wall. the tunnel intersection that Lucrezia is at runs north and south then each disappear around a bend.
Maybe we should check the dead end behind Grimm for a secret door first before going down the stairs.
"True enough. Though let's avoid phrases like 'dead end', okay?"
make a perception check looking at the west wall.
This map show the staircases that I mentioned previously. I moved the avatars to reveal it. Note they are still lined up on the stairs thought.
What may have once been a small cheerful bar shows that this room once acted as an underground tavern. Several shelves for wine bottles fill the western half of the room. Most of the wine bottles are smashed, the furniture likewise ruined, with the exception of a strangely child-sized table and set of chairs that seems to have been built out of scavenged parts from larger furniture that sits on top of the bar itself. You can see four toys sitting at the table that is set with chipped tea cups.
See anything Lucrezia?
What? Now we gonna have ghosts of kids I bet. Are we actually getting rid of these haunts? Or are we truly exorcising this place? We might need t I get Drea to cast a few consecrates tomorrow.
"Well, I suppose we have found out where the wee ones like to have their little tea parties. I vote for leaving their stuff be. Shame about all the bottle being smashed in though."
Lucrezia is ready to check out the stairs going down next.
The teddy bear and dragon are there?
Truk follows closely on Lucrezia's tail.
"Are we going to pretend we didn't see that scene back there?"
The dolls sitting there are the dragon, the bear, a straw man, and a doll.
The door opening clearly startled them, there is the sound of clanking of tea cups on the table. "W...w...w..wha...what are you doing there?"the bears asks.
That is followed by the straw man saying, "Sneaks."
"Sneaks? How can anyone making as much noise as we have be called sneaks. Does nothing down here try to bother you?"
"We bother everything down here who tries to steal from our owner," the teddy bear replies. "We drove off the fakies before!"
There's a bunch of giggling....they gots sea sick," the doll adds.
Truk studies the dolls.
"Are you the same little 'uns we heard out in the courtyard?"
Stinky orcy speaks
"I'll take that as a yes", Truk says with a laugh.
"This smelly orc is named Truk'tosh and the pretty woman next to me is Lucrezia. What are your names?"
Your owner? Are they a Pathfinder? We are trying to find a Pathfinder named Bisby who can help us stop a mean,nasty one named Ilnerik.
"Bisby lives within each of us," the porcelain doll replies. the other three nod in agreement, "He lives in his room but we defend his house."
Would you tell us where his room is so we can talk to him? How about a song or two in return? Andrea gestures to Orsin. [b]My friend here is a singer and wants to be a Pathfinder. Orsin, how about a few songs? Perhaps the one about the Mean Old Lion?
