Outpost VIII - Dacilane Academy's Delightful Disaster

Game Master ChesterCopperpot

Ma'elo thinks for a moment. "The pitcher and water can probably be retrieved from the kitchen. And, the steel shield from the weapons room," he postulates. "As far as I know, we have not been to the second floor. So, the quarters are likely there."

"That does sound reasonable. I would head to the second floor next, to secure the house in addition to finding the focus", Alexandrios agrees.

Jackie cleans the head of her hatchet. "Second floor it is, then."

Ma'elo nods and follows.

Ka'elen rushes to lead the group upstairs. "I'll just stay in front here with how all this has been going lately" He makes an expansive gesture at everything.

The environment upstairs in the lodge is decidedly more chaotic, with shifting patterns in the carpet that change color; strange smells of the ocean, swamp, and desert wafting through the level; and odd noises of all
types ringing through the air.

The balcony is lined with eight closed doors.

Ma'elo moves over toward the door at the far side (room 1) and hides along the wall.

Na'ilath goes to the other side of the door to room one and prepares to open it when everyone is ready

Griphook joins the two elves to look around the rooms of the second floor, starting from Room 1.

Alexandrios collects various substances on the way upstairs. "This is good, that might work as a replacement. Oh, I wonder what this could do. I have to try..."

Restoring versatile vials by collect ingredients

He gets behind the melee at the door. "Nothing more to prepare for me" he says.

The doors in the upstairs portion of the lodge are too heavy for you to open them from your current phase of reality. When you try to pass through a closed door, they appear in the hallway outside one of the other bedrooms doors. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which door you appear outside of!

You do notice that the door in the far corner of the second story has a bronze plaque that reads "Venture Captain."

There must be some way you could get inside.

Thanks for the patience, everyone! My son just graduated high school and it has been super busy.

"We could get one of the students to open it!"

"Theshe roomsh are kinda like portalsh, but random portalsh." Griphook infers. "Letsh check thish room for the venture-captain."

Griphook then tries to enter it.

"Maybe we can build a simple device, we have strength to produce a little force, so if we put a lot of levers and such we can push the door open with a feather. Alexandrios starts his thought process of the challenge of a closed door.

Elena squeaks and points at Ma'elo, then downstairs.
