We continue onto the passage and find a room. Find some drie blood. Ghoral and Perrol follow it to find a empty room with a stinky dead rock creature. A chest is spotted. Perrol checks the chest for traps, finds none, opens it and finds two dark robes, two flasks of oil, 3 sunrods, two twigs (tinder twigs), a stone, a ceramic mask (gnome sad face), and a silver ring shaped like a serpent with two tiny gems for eyes, and a ewer (pitcher) adorned with dancing Dryads and moss agates. Jarlyn performs detect evil, finds none, and Perrol does detect magic and doesn’t find any. Ghoral thinks the mask is worth about 5 sp, the ring 25 sp, and the ewer 8 gp. The stone is a thunder stone, which are flash bangs (grenades). We keep everything but the robes.

We head back to the west side to explore the passages to see what we can find. We find a room with four trees in it. Perrol is able to tell that it is all a illusions. In the NE area a secret door is found on the east wall. We open it to find a hallway between the “D” and “R” doors to the room that we need to go in. Some noise of about 6 people is heard. We head back to the forest room, we get the “D” door (with out the key) open, Ghoral and Jarlyn both jump thru the door and get the shock of their lift taking little to no damage. As a test, Kross fires arrow thru the door with no problems.

On the other side of the “D” door, a room is found that has a pool of water that is being filled by face with a open mouth (which is found out to be another illusion). Perrol looks in the room and see thru the illusion. Just at that time a lare spider jumps out of the illusion and attacks Perrol.

Character and players in the game tonight:
Glaive (Janielle), Ghoral (Bill), Jarlyn (Bob), Perrol (Bob) and Kross (Heath)

We are resting. We start in a new day.

We head North to the “E” and the “N” doors. Ghoral uses the key for “E” and walks thru and get fired on. Ghoral spots a odd spot on the East wall of the “E” room. Jarlyn next walks thru the door and gets fired on. Perrol looks around and looks for magic. He does see magic around the door. Ghoral finds the latch and opens the door to a room with some weapon racks filled with only a few items. A idea was had to use two shield on eather side of the door, but when tried Glaive still took a fair amount of damage.

With the chest, it is locked with a big lock. Glaive gets the lock unlocked and we find:

16 crossbow bolt
2 sticks (Smoke Stick)
a stone (magiced)
a bag (a Tangle Foot bag)

We find and open another hidden door that leads to a small hallway. To the North there is a possable pit trap and South leads to a dead end. It is exampled and is found to lead to the main entrance room where Kross and Perrol are waiting.

In the chect, a secret compartment is found with a Wand in it

Jarlyn thinks that magic items that interact with the body, would find themself cursed.

We think the two sticks may be a Smoke Stick. The rock may be a Thunder Stone (like a flash/bank).

We think the non-magic items are safe. We take the bolts (Jarlyn takes), the Smoke Stick (Perrol and Glaive) and the Tangle Foot bag (Kross takes).

We find the trigger where a secret door opens over the pit. The door is opens out wards and is cracked currently. Kross will walk on the wall and push on the door and then come back across to end his turn on the ground.

Perrol jumps across to see what he see, finding a set of iron door (that open outwards), a door marked “N”, “U”, “E” and “R”. The “N” door is opened and Jarlyn walk thru it with out any problems.

The “E” door is opened, we see 4 beds and such in the room. Perrol walks in and gets flamed taking a fair amount of danage. Looks around and finds nothing. He recrosses back to next room.

Perrol hears a pattern to the hammer pounders, maybe artificial. Glaive picks the lock and it unlocks. Perrol walks thru the doors.

We come in, Kross checks out the tracks, they are a year old and are the creatures we have delt with in the past.

Perrol and Ghoral go up the stares on the right. A green blob falls from the ceiling on to Ghoral.

The games ends for the night.

Character and players in the game tonight:
Glaive (Janielle), Ghoral (Bill), Jarlyn (Dennis), Perrol (Heath) and Kross (Heath)

We head over to the other door marked “J”. With Ghoral, Jarlyn, Glaive, Perrol and Kross for the walking order. Ghoral went to step in the room but spotted the pit in the floor and jumped over it. Spot a tunnel that looks like they were dug thru. Ghoral & Glaive go thru to find themselves in a room with the door marked “A”. They see a lever near the door and a odd section of the wall on the south wall. Perrol reviews the switch and does do find the lever traped. Perrol will pull down the lever and Perror will hear something on the other side of the wall. Perrol will go around and have a look. Will find some braces have extended in the trap. Will reset the trap and lock the trap to safety. With the spot on the South wall is pressed to revealed to a small closet (with nothing in it). There is a another dug passage in the East. We go, find a T section, head South. Find a split and we nead West to a room labled “U“. We see a section of the wall that looks adjar. The secret door leads to the door marked “R“. Looks to be a costume and prop room with 6 big wooden chests. Stuff is thrown about the room. We search the room and find nothing we were looking for. With heading out, Kross and Perrol hear something behind them. With Kross in the doorway, Kross will see something humanoid shaped with a wolf mask on (which we can see thru it).

We head up the stares and find a door marked “J” Will open and look thru . . . . will see a door marked “N“. We look around. A spot on the SouthWest wall. The door is triggered. Perrol will MageSite and fells that magic is all in the room. No evil is found in the area.

Glaive and Ghoral will go in the empty room and look around. Some invisible stuff in the room. Perrol will have a look in the room. Perrol will get a flash and see on east wall, something is leaning against the wall (like a painting) with a blanket (?) droped in front of it. Perrol will turn the item around and lean it back againt the wall. Glaive will try to take the item out of the room, but only get half way towards the door and find her hands empty. Perrol heard something brush along the floor. We are able to get the item and they appear now in solid form. First was a landscape, second is a fantasy shot, . . . we get a total of 6 painting in total. From what Kross can tell, a few are worth around 150 gp each. We drop off the paintings back to our storage room.

We go to explore the Western area that some passages ran thru. We find a room that has stares up to a throne with two pillers. Right before the passage splits left and right, there is a cherub face on the wall. There is a snooring knome on the throne. Perrol can tell the whole area is magical. Jarlyn does step up to the cherub face and it comes alive and asks for “your finest coin to talk to the king”. Feeds the face with a gold coin and it goes quiet. All but Kross go up to the throne. The king on the throne is a illusion. The king starts mumbling:

Betrayed we are by our own magic,
One by one, we fade away
Jadrizrune’s lost!  Oh how tragic!
We curse the vanishing day.

There is a compartment found in the armrest. Open to find:

9 gold coins
2 steel rods (marked as “N” and “E“)

We head over to one of the “E” doors to try out the door. Ghoral steps up, uses the key and flames shoot out. He steps thru and he heals up after a minute. We meet up at the home base room by going thru another path.

It has been a day and we rest up.

Perrol finds something shinny. A box with elven script on it. He opens it to find a music box with a key in it. From Ghoral, the box is worth 15 to 20 gold.

Kross is looking around the room for tracks. Did find some small size prints, but not the larger sized we are looking for.

We are looking westward down the hallway, seeing some flickering light that look like torches. Looking eastward, some stares that lead into darkness.

We head westward and find a lit room with a wooden stage on the left. A gnome in a bear costume comes out on stage. Its a magiced show. Kross spots a trap door on the stage.

The door goes down under the stage. Perrol decides to goes down into the trap door. He yells “something is moving”. We see a tentacle move under him and one grabs the metal ring.

* Segment 12
A tentacle comes out and grabs around Ghoral.
Kross is holding off on his attack. The trap door is closed.

The tentacle thing is making some noise.

The others are move back to the stage, open the trap door and Ghoral jumps down and see the creature. Then he kills it. Kross is not sure what it is. It has 10 ft arms and legs.

A chest is found with a cloak, a wond and a metal rod with the “J” rune on it. All but the rod are magic.

Ghoral put on the cloak. Perrol looks at Ghoral with the cloak. Sees that Ghoral stars to glows a little like a magic item.
There is a story that this city had a plague that was caused my magic.

We go back to the first room with the first “J” door. The key is used and the door opened. Not much is found.

Character and players in the game tonight:
Glaive (Janielle), Ghoral (Bill), Jarlyn (Dennis), Perrol (Bob) and Kross (Heath)

We are moving the food over to the lockable store room. [Kross will keep the key.]

With some of the lamp oil, will break it down to a smaller container. Will also pack a small set of firewood.

We are planing on doing something to the secret door aftter we head down. We set up two different sets of markers to tell if the door was opened.

Ghoral says there are some giggling, leaves rustling and birds chirping. We are heading down.

Ghoral see a 30 x 30 room with some metal faces all around the room. We find a torch sconce that looks like some kind of switch. A lantern is lit and the torch sconces is examaned. (counter clock way looks to be bad) The sconces is turned clock ways and secret doors opens to a  empty 10 x 20 room. Perrol goes in and looks around and falls into pit. (Its a bad thing)

* Segment 12
Kross will light a lantern while the others work on getting Perrol out of the pit.
Perrol is pulled out of the pit.
The sludge is comming out of the pit.

* Segment 4
Moved over to the sconces and and turn it back to the normal postion. With being Overly Cautious, Kross did not turn it all the way. Glaive steps up corrects the position, it CLICKS and the door closes right before the creature gets to the door.

Battle Ends.

Ghoral moves to the center of the room and is able to see the end of the hallway and sees a large door with a large gear on it.
With everyone in the room, a voice in Trade Tongue welcomes us to Jidazrune. The voice says:

Welcome to Jidazrune.  Behold the wonder!
But beware, ye who seek to plunder.
Traps abound and guardians peer,
Beyond every corner, behind every gear.

We see, in this room, two large doors with a large gears on it.

The door marked with the Dwarven symbol for the letter “A” is stuck open by a rock. Perrol looks inside and sees rubble everywhere in the room, a metal rod with a gold tip in the center in the room, and there is a small tunnel against back wall. There are also lots of cobwebs in the room as well as a dozen small cots and chests. We were able to find out the “A” door is traped. Also see that the “J” door is also traped.

We move towards the hallway and see clearly a large door with a large gear on it, marked with a “Z” on it. There is a hallway to the left and right with the same type of door with letters above the door. To the right the hallway ends in a wall after ~50 ft and there are four doors with letters “D”, “I”, “N”, and “E”. Perrol does detect magic and determines that all are magical.

With Ghoral walking down the left hall, a pit open below Ghoral and just in time he is able to jump back, avoiding the spike trap. There is a creature dead in the trap. Kross is able to tell that the creature is humaniod about the size of a dwarf and it has natural concealment for hiding in the underground.

Ghoral jumps across the pit and sees the the other two doors have the letters “R” and “A”. The passage ahead looks like a dead end, but after some review, it is found out to be a illusion. Going thru the illusion, we find a room with two doors that have letters “Z” and “E” on them. With the two doors, Glaive is able to pick the lock, but could not disarm the trap set on the door. If the door is completely opened, it will set off the trap. We decline to set off the traps and head back to the first room for the gold colored tiped rod.

From what he recalls from before, Kross is able to tell that some piles of rubble are not there anymore. From what Kross saw in the pit, it was probabley these humaniod creatures. Perrol hears a sound of faint snoring coming from the tunnels.

The gold-ish rod does not help with the locks on the door.

We go thru the small tunnel, find one set of tunnel that shows a bright light. We head towards that light and find a large room with some large pillers that are shaped like gnomes standing on their sholders. A spot at one of the pillers looks like that creature.

The game ends for the night. 

Character and players in the game tonight:
Glaive (Janielle), Ghoral (Bill), Jarlyn (Dennis), Perrol (Bob) and Kross (Heath)

We get back to the inn with no troubles. We set up normal shift for the night.

The battle ends.

With KS: Undead, Kross recalls that if any living creature that touches the undead weapon, it will cruble into dust. Kross will go over to the weapon and touch it, saying “Done”.

We have morning meal and pay off our bill. (Pay our outstanding bill of 4 SP each.) [-4SP]

We leave and head off to the temple, on the left on the building top a person is spotted with a crossbow. Kross will go off to the left and head over one extra block and then head up to the top of a building with his bow and a blunted arrow. Kross will conseal himself by 8. Will get a head shot and he goes down. Will get up and look around and go over to the guy, finding him unconscious. Will tie him up, drop the crossbow over the side and pick him up and take him over the side down to the others. Will search the body and find a Red Dagger tattoo and two potions (one healing wounds and a cure poison). We will drop off the guy off at the guard loaction. Kross will hold onto the crossbow and the two caped leather wraped bolts.

We contunie onto the temple to see a priest of Hospin. We inform them of the trip down below. We are given some potions:

5 Healing Potions
2 Remove Cures Potions

We head over to Bob and Chad. We do not find them.

We head over the Locksmith location of the entrance to the underground. We go inside to meet up with the other. There are 35 days worth of rations for 5 people available for when they have to be quarantine for 20 days.

There is  a knock on the door, “Is everything alright?”. We confirm that it is.

The night passes with out issue.

We head down stares for our morning food. After we eat, we head out to the temple district.

We were just about there when Perrol takes a arrow/bolt from the rear and goes down taking 42 stun.

Battle Over

The bolt is picked up for later reference. (Later at the potion shop.)

We head to the temple of Aladan and find out the following:

They are refered to as Guild Masters. Yanna has the contacts, both the legal and the illegal ones. There are second ring of lieutenant, mainly in local city as a contact for that area. The four are the public faces of the group. The teleporting could be item based.

We head to the Temple of Varidon and find out the following from Coriries Gellantara:

Valmarrellian, consider a master of sorcery (mind control/illusions). There are item that would protect vs sorcery.

Will be sent word of a meeting to meet with a person that sell item that would protect vs sorcery.

With that done, we head over the potions shop for Jarlyn to pick one up. Due to price (and the reason for the price increase), he does not buy it, but Perrol and Ghoral each buy one. Perrol also asks if he can have the bolt analyzed to determine what the ichor is and if there is a possible antedote. It cost 5 sp to have done.

We head to wizard academy to find what the research team found.

Aaron is not currently avail and will do be avail till tomorrow morning.

We head back to the Inn and find a dinner invation for tonight at the palace. We get dressed up and bring small weapons. Kross was able to tell that we are being tailed by one of Julienne’s people.
