Augar takes a look.
As you were down in the baement you noticed that the title mark glyph has been written on one of the walls. As you investigated further a small section of the wall pivots on its central axis, revealing a wall cache with treasure inside (a wand). Additionally, written in grease-paint on the pivoted wall face are a string of letters: “CNSRRBONIRUWMUTASSHROHED”
"Dont just start pulling stuff outta walls!" Augar says his whiskers twitching as he walks over shaking his head.
"You never know if some rogue trapped the walls or wizard enscorcelled something" He stops and looks about wondering if a wizard did set up some scrying devices or delayed traps.
We won't know what it does until we try, Pull lever. Zirul will do so
Zirul pulls and holds the wand in his hand, with a sheet of paper wrapped around it reading: “Whisper something that you’ve never told anyone”
"You do what with lobsters" Augar says out loud, chuckling.
Zirul whispers to the group. I believe the Earth is Hollow. Don't tell others, they might think I'm crazy for my beliefs.
A human subtly enters the house and joins the group. "I mean no harm. I was sent to help find out about the 'map' that was handed out to you. May I take a look at it?"
"I think those strange characters are what we're suppose to gather here. Let me write that down." He takes out a scroll and writes the magic letters on it. "I vote that we move on to where the map leads. Who here knows of a 'big birdman statue'?"
"We should fallow where the two we chased in to the sewers.
Zirul do you want to lead, Augar I will be right behind you with others coming up since we have some of the best eyes for the dark?"
I will lead under the condition that the rest of you tell me where to go when the paths split or there is more than one direction to go, I'd rather not do the thinking of making my own decisions on that. Um, do you wish me to go forward? Someone has to tell me when to stop.
" Yes lead on my good man" Augar says with a wide smile gesturing for him to proceed as he was not the limber sort and all that running stretched a bit much more then he'd like
Zirul leads and continues to speed walk, he doesn't slow up unless told.
"Durned Elf I can't move that fast! Slow down or I'll have to flick a pebble at ya!" He says puffing along trying to follow as quickly as he can in the armor, without a misstep.
As you have another clue you move to the Three Daggers Alley.
Save for a few pieces of trash or a discarded crate, this 5-foot wide, 70-foot long alley is largely clear of debris. A covered sewer entrance lays
halfway into the alley.
The alley is shaded from sunlight during the day, leaving it dimly lit. The streetlamps don’t reach the alley at night; it’s ominously dark.
Taking a look around for any signs of threats or movements.
Standing at the edge of the alley Q'Lee peeks in - no threats, no movement, quiet.....
Shin starts moving slowly towards the entrance, being cautious with every step.
Out of nowhere 3 daggers appear, attacking Shin.
The daggers are visible and floating around as if getting ready to srtrike again.
As the monk steps closer towards the tunnel entrance, daggers from out of nowhere start attacking him. He gets hit twice - one on his arm and one on his shin - before successfully evading a third dagger. He then dashes towards the entrance. "Careful everyone. Those daggers could attack again at any moment. Proceed with haste but with caution."
Q'Lee makes a run for it. Hope his Acrobatics will keep him out of harms way.
But his foot slips on a banana peel.
Zirul moves up to the dagger that didn't strike and attacks it with greatsword
Augar flips his shield arm over his head and approaches ready to use his hammer to smack away incoming daggers as he steps quickly forward like a turtle in a phalanx.
Zirul hits one of the daggers, which disappears, two aare still floating around.
You manage to rush into the sewer without the daggers getting another chance to attack.
Dim light is present within 20 feet of the open sewer entrance. Otherwise, the area is dark.
The ceilings here are 10 feet high, and 5-foot wide walkways flank a central 5 feet wide channel funneling sewage through the area. Rats scurry
in and out of the muck.
As you move along
"You have got some sharp eyes Zdravko. Let me take a look at it to see if it is safe."
If he feels it is safe to open, he will open the door.
"Easy everyone, this place is trapped, So stand back and just give me a few moments to disarm this one before we go in."
Q'Lee disarms the trap without any problems.
You enter a 10-by-15-foot chamber with two similarly sized adjoining
chambers: one serving as sleeping quarters complete with five straw pallets, and the other as a chamber for a single person. All rooms are sparsely furnished, the
common room has dingy low table piled with a deck of cards (Three Dragon Ante), and a sconce with a lit torch. Tracks show signs of recent activity. A pair of lit candles are on the table giving the common room bright light and dim light into the sleeping area. Searching the area you find a locked stone coffer.
Q'lee checks the coffer for traps.
Augar rests his Hammer over his shoulder and looks at his feet.
