Miro will also scout with Audri, trying to find this Knot thing a ding.
The first thing that they find is a small case of unfired fireworks. Everyone can have one firework for free.
Additionally make me a percentage check to see what you find
The heroes find themselves in front of a vault. It would appear they have found their target!
Miro snaffles a firework so he can explode someone's pants
Audi is tempted to grab a starfountain firework, but realizes it would be a pain in the ass to carry around. He settles for another banshee ballerina firework instead. When he sees Miro struggling with the vault he says, "Here, let me give it a try."
Run extremely fast, or hopefully Audi can jack his jaw well enough to keep us un-eaten.
The heroes find the doors to be unlocked and untapped and in they go, the world seems to fold and shift and turn and they find themselves in
A long corridor extends from a pair of dull metal doors. The walls,
floor, and ceiling of this hall are paneled in gray wood, including
several empty alcoves along each wall. No source for the dim
illumination is apparent. Shadows seem to dance at the corner of
the eye in the alcoves, and a soft, barely audible whispering floats
in the air of this strange place. What appears to be a slumpedover
corpse dressed in tattered robes lies heaped on the floor
between the closest alcoves.
It does not move
"Pretty sure I run faster than Miro. Yeah, if we see a pit fiend, we run. I'll be jacking my jaw loudly while we do!"
When the corpse does not move, Audi suggested "I can have a look at it and see if its dead."
Definitely a human caster, definitely dead by being stabbed in the chest. It would appear that some of the scrolls around him had been cast recently before death.
"Well, that sure ups the ante if we're found in here. I wonder who he was." Audi helps to search the body for any items or identification.
So this place is or was occupied considering his killer might still be around. Miro loads his crossbow.
"Maybe. Also might have been another of our fellow party guests. Maybe someone snatched him, dragged him in here and murdered him. They might have even been hoping to frame us. Would make a helluva opera don't you think." Nonetheless, Audi heeds Miro's caution and pulls out the faithful chair leg that he uses as a club.
Miro looks around nervously, it was so quiet and weird. They better find the thing and get out as soon as they could. He checks the body with Audi to help speed things along.
He also appears to have a bag on him, searching him?
Yes
Exxor will attempt to help
The satchel turns out to be much bigger on the inside and is FILLED with scrolls
I need 6 spell craft checks,
Huh, some kind of wizard? This satchel looks pretty darn useful.

command undead, a scroll of ray of exhaustion, a scroll of vampiric
touch, and a scroll of false life),
Also the last is a tattered parchment from an unknown
book on devilish religion. Written in the margins in
Common in a shaky script is the following—“Possible
Passwords: Venderbaxis; Vlenderaxits; Vlenkervandis;

vault!”
Unless one of us knows magic these scrolls are just good for selling. This guy might have been a thief trying to get what we are after.
So who is carrying them?
Why our big strong half-orc of course!
'fraid not.
Miro looks around Wasn't there a rather big fellow with us named Brannock? He eyes a rather large bloodstain on the floor.
You are with them since you are here
I just wasn't allowing them a half Orc Sherpa
Bars are difficult to keep going at least half shut down within two years. Miro hags about, waiting for the bigguns to take the lead.
Our heroes make their way into the next area
This wood-paneled hall rises to a height of twenty feet above,
and a single fifteen-foot-high shelf filled sparsely with books
runs along the wall. Eerie wisps of shadowy fog coil and
writhe on the floor, which unlike the walls seems to be made
of polished black stone.
Promptly they hear a growling and infront of the heroes is a demonic looking dog, that is 8 feet long, then a second moves out from the other side of the room

Audi shakes off the eerie feeling produced by the howls and rushes forward to smack the closest demon dog.

Audi has no idea what he is facing, while Miro slams the creature with the ice, just before Audi attempts to engage one, by missing terribly
