Still waiting for Anders, Amber and Drakr
Drakr swings his warhammer at his foe smacking him in the hip and then the chest.
Amber sends another Firebolt at the last RedBrand,
but it merely spurts a small flame in the dirt beside him.
Amber moves to carefullly tie up the sleeping ruffian before waking him.
"I think you've got some explaining to do. You comrades are dead and your life is also forfeit if you do not cooperate. Where is the woman and child?"
"Humph! You will lead us to them now. I'm going to untie your feet but not your hands, and my friend here will make sure you don't try anything... stupid."
" Maybe we should take some time to patch up Jelly and Anders first? Don't want to be like the 35th battalion back home. Those boys would just keep pushing themselves on and on. That's how you lose soldiers. "
"For sure, it's deep in the night. I would say a short rest is fine." Sahil agrees.
"Glasstaff?" Sahil asks.
"So, and who is the Black Spider then?"
" The Black Spider! This Glass Staff will know where to find him and we can rescue Gundren and take out this scourge on Phadalin in the process. "
"As you would expect, the dwarf here is right."
"Let's drop this Redbrand off with the local authority and go straight to Tresendar Manor."

With any obvious jail, Toblen Stonehill directs you to the Townmaster's Hall which has sturdy stone walls, a pitched wooden roof, and a belltower at the back. Posted on a board next to the front door is a notice written in Common. It reads: REWARD- Orcs near Wyvern Tor! Those of a mind to face the orc menance should inquire with" The notice bears the town's seal and an indecipherable signature.
Pushing the doors in, you see a venerable fat human male asleep at his desk a pipe still smoking in his hand. The doors slam shut behind you and he is startled awake. He looks at you after adjusting his glasses and looking at the man in tow. Can I help you?
"This ruffian here was one of a member of the Redbrands who have been causing the town a lot of grief. He admits that he has a couple of captives near the old crypts. We expect that you will hold him securely, awaiting trial, as we progress immediately to rescue the innocents."
"Very good then. I am sure that with a little investigation you will find that this mercenary guild should be disbanded and more. If this guy values his freedom he will speak up. He can rest assured that we bring justice to his employer. We take your leave now to immediately rescue the innocents."
If he won't talk, then I will find him when he is freed again get justice. In the mean time, you mention rewards for Orcs. What are ya needing? Scalps, teeth, or heads as proof?

Any exploration of the manor grounds finds it deserted, but with plenty of tracks leading to a stone stair case just off the empty ruin of a large kitchen. At the bottom of the stairs stands an unlocked door with a cellar beyond.
The door opens onto a five foot wide landing fifteen feet above a large cellar, with stone steps descending to the floor in two short flights. Another door stands beneath the stairs to the north. A large stone cistern occupies the western part of the room, whose walls are lined with kegs and barrels.
Can I get two Wisdom (Perception) checks from everyone please because no ones passive perception is enough.

And Anders finds both of the secrets.
In addition to the two doors there is also a secret door in the southwest section of the room. It is not locked.
The cistern has a submerged waterproof satchel hanging from a submerged rope attached along the south wall of the cistern. The hidden satchel contains a potion of healing, potion of invisibility, 50 gp, and a clean set of ordinary travel clothing.
Anders pulls out the waterproof satchel and hands it to Amber.
He then puts a finger to his mouth and walks to the secret door quietly and whispers to everyone as he places an ear to the door.
Let's check out what is behind this secret door.
As the group heads off for the Manor Drakr notices Jelly is still injured so he stops and casts a prayer for healing.

I will give you until tomorrow to make any more preparations. In the meantime here is the room you are walking into:
A cold breeze fills this large natural cavern, carrying with it the faint scent of decaying flesh. A crevasse divides the cavern and is flanked by two rough stone columns that support the twenty-foot-high ceiling. Two arched wooden bridges span the chasm.
does anyones passive perception beat that? I don't have the time right now to look it up.
Amber can I get an Deception roll opposed by
By my count both Jelly and Anders are 1 hp down.
