Daniel was torn. The woman was not their first objective here but she needed to be saved.
He kneels before the woman, Sister, may name is Daniel Arrisen, knight of The Inheritor and Paladin. I cannot undo the ordeal which has befallen you, but I can heal your injuries and provide with protection from this place. The mighty Archon standing behind me is Raziel, a warrior angel from the heavens, brought here my Iomedae to aid in cleansing this place. If you will accept him, he will be your guardian as you leave this place to the dottari. I am sorry we cannot offer more, for there are others in this place who need saving, just as you did. To abandon them would be as awful a crime as ignoring your own plight. Wi you accept Iomedae's healing and guide, to speed you from this place?
Andrea clasps her hands in prayer and praysas Daniel speaks to the frightened woman.
Mrs. Penwick shakes frantically at the thought of going in the sewers or people leaving her to fend for herself. "D..do...don't leave mmmme...p..please, d...d...don't leave me."
Mrs. Penwick looks at the hound, a bit skeptic and wide eyed, "P..P...pr...promise h...h...he won't hurt me....th...the...snakes were a terrible fright."
There is nothing magical about Mrs. Penwick, Andrea, she's just a frightened victim.
I assure you we won't
Blast! they are getting further away every second!
Andrea gestures to Daniel. This brave man speaks true, we have an angel of Iomodae with us who will escort you to safety. Rest assured that you are in the very best of care.
"Oh-kay," she whimpers,
Azreal please see her to the dottari, once she is safe teleport back to me.
Lucrezia the door on the left is also locked from the outside. Plus your have the trapdoor on the floor that could be leading to either a cellar or the seer is your best guess.
Down or to the left? We might as well check the trapdoor although their might be another prisoner behind the other door.
"We may be running out of time to save Sascar. We can come back up through this way and clear out the whole warehouse later. We lose focus on our task and we keep dealing with multiple distractions and 'what ifs'. If there are more people in this place to rescue, they aren't going anywhere in the immediate future and will likely still be here on our return."
Lucrezia moves over to the trap door and looks down it.
Lucrezia the trap door is not trapped and you find the concealed latch easy enough.
Lucrezia lifts the latch, opens the door and looks down to figure out if there are stairs or a ladder built in or they need rope to get down.
There are individual iron rungs about 18 inches apart heading down into the sewer system. An unsettling stench slams into your face Lucrezia. Your eyes water and your breakfast want to come up for a visit. It looks dark down there.
Andrea passes out Soothe Syrup to everyone(+5 fort saves)
"By the gods! I just wish that at least once that the damn bad guys would lead us on a chase through a f~*+ing field of flowers rather than a foul, s+#~-filled, filthy damn sewer."
Question. In the vision when the thug took Sascar into the sewer, did he go down a ladder or something like a ramp?
"By the gods! I just wish that at least once that the damn bad guys would lead us on a chase through a f*%#ing field of flowers rather than a foul, s%&$-filled, filthy damn sewer."
Is the +5 adding in the soothe syrup? I think you smelled it before Andrea passed out the juice, is that correct Andrea? If so, then Lucrezia taste breakfast again.
He took her down a ladder then came to intersection where you lost the image.
I actually didn't describe the entrance in the sewer only the "T" intersection.
Lucrezia is busy heaving leaving her own sign at the foot of the ladder. After a while she is able to recover enough to take the sooth syrup.
DMPC: John. Orsin. Faelyn sooth syrup
The others make their saves.
You have iron rungs in the wall headin down 15 feet to a tiled and stone sewer. Unless told otherwise the sewer is 10 feet wide with 2.5 feet ledge on either side of 5 foot trench that contains the sewage. The sewage is running and flowing so it will be flowing water when it comes to tracking (unless told otherwise)
"Well, it looked like they were going towards the right in the scrying, so I guess that's the direction we should be heading in."
Lucrezia will be in the second rank if one of the more armored fellas wanna take point.
I will assume Lucrezia was first down the iron rungs and Daniel followed second, 5 feet behind. I need both to make Reflex save for half damage and the rungs become electrically charges.
Startled by the sudden shock, Lucrezia turns loose and drops the rest of the way down.
You triggered it on the second the last step, so it's not a far drop for you. You fail the save.
We best let Lucrezia check out the rungs to disarm the trap and allow her to check the sewers ahead of us. The Red Knives had traps in the sewer halls when we last came down here and no doubt have even more.
Andrea will pass a CSW potion for Lucrezia. (3d8+5)
Perhaps Ziz can fly ahead while Invisible to make sure there are no ambushes ahead of us.
Lucrezia takes the potion from Andrea. "Thanks Andrea."
Lucrezia scans the portion of the sewer ahead of them where they going.
"I'll be sure to stay on the lookout this time."
Lucrezia, Faelyn, best use your Messaging spells so we can whisper to each other and stay in communication.
Daniel you made your save, so half damage.
Lucrezia you do not see any other traps. At the bottom of the steps you see you can go in either direction and it looks like there are "T" intersections in both directions about 60 feet up either end of the sewer.
Andrea taps Lucrezia with Guidance to help her find the right ay (+1 roll)
Andrea either way looks like it could be correct each end in a T, and you know they made right from there. Sascar's vision was downward so, she mostly saw the sewage trench.
Lucrezia looks about, making sure to also check the ledges for either tracks or for tell-tale splashes where someone walked in the water near them.
If Lucrezia can't find the way, we might need to use Orsin's scroll of Locate Object to lock onto the dress Sascar is wearing
Lucrezia you see foot prints in both directions and each go out to the T intersection. Although you don't recall the group crossing the sewage channel before making the right turn.
"Well, I'm not completely sure, but I'd say go right and then turn right down at the intersection."
Let us go! Ziz, please turn invisible and fly ahead so we can avoid ambusges. Be careful of any traps, Lucrezia.
Lucrezia you do detect a trap near the intersection, there is wall scythe blade that can be triggered by stepping on the walkway.
Andrea casts Guidance on Lucrezia when she gets to work(+1)
Daniel as your hound walks Mrs. Penwich through the streets in the ruined section his detect evil is pinging like a sonar. There are quite a few beady eyes on him and his ward. It's quite frightening for Mrs. Penwich as she begins to hyper-ventilate.
