Chapter One: A LMoP Adventure

As Glynquinal steps into the small barracks, the man limps backward and sits hard on one of the cots. He watches warily as Gruxx and Rock enter as well. Another scream escapes him as Rock roughly extracts his weapon from the man's leg. A giant spurt of blood hits the dragonborn in the stomach. The Redbrand leans back against the wall holding his leg and groaning. "His workshop is through the secret passage on the other side of the fountain," the man says through gritted teeth. "He's probably there."

"Excellent." Glynquinal offers the wounded man, "Gruxx, what should we do with him?"

Glynquinal will go investigate the fountain looking for the secret passageway on the other side of the fountain. 

Investigation 14

Rock will leave the Redbrand to the tender mercy of Grux, and follow Gyln

Once Glynquinal reenters the room with the fountain and gets his bearings, he realizes they entered that room THROUGH the secret passage on the other side of the fountain.

OOC: Ian is still here - I was waiting for DDP to answer Rock's question before going. I dont like posting ahead, especially when there is unresolved moves. Thanks for going for me DDP. 

Ian will accompany Glynquenal in search of the secret passageway

investigation: 17

OOC: Sorry, DDP, can I ask for clarification on the last post -- does that mean the Redbrand was lying? Did we already go through a secret passage?

The Herr Doktor Professor makes an Insight check:5.

Muttering to himself, Glynquinal frowns. "It would seem we've been this way already, and the wizard has yet to be found."

Heading east to occupy AA 14 and try to open the door there, Glynquinal switches his focus.

Calling out to Rock Glynquinal asks, "What did you find when you looked at the door to the north? Does it go any farther?"

"Glyn just a room that may lead to a hall way and deeper into this maze. Shall we have a look?

Rock will investigate the room that he found 

Investigation 4

Ian stays with Glyn just in case the Wizard materializes. Better two on one...

Gruxx nods and does his duty.  He raises his glaive emotionlessly and brings it down upon the Redbrand in a Reckless matter.

Attack: 23 Damage: 13

Not that it matters now, but the Redbrand was being truthful.

Glynquinal and Ian climb the stairs to the upper landing and open the eastern door. They find another staircase leading up. As far as they can tell from the bottom of the stairs, the flight will take them outside.

Rock goes through the north door and down the short hall. It opens into a much larger, 10-foot wide by 40-foot long hall. Thick dust covers the flagstones of this somber hallway. The walls are decorated with faux columns every 10 feet, and the double doors at the west end of the hall are sheathed in copper plate, now green with age. A relief carving of a mournful angel graces the doors. Not to be distracted by decorations, the dragonborn uses his keen eyes to investigate the hallway. He is rewarded when he suspects a trap has been laid in the center. He thinks some of the tiles will give way if enough weight is applied.

Gruxx dispatches the Redbrand.

Everyone gets 60 more XP.

Rock will inform the rest of the party 

Seeing the path lead to what appears to be up and out, Glynquinal retraces his steps, and passes through the northern door to join Rock to see what he's found.

To Rock Glynquinal says, "Well, it looks like this place hasn't been used in a while."

"Be careful the floor looks to be a trap in the center of the hallway"

Calling out to Ian, "Ian, looks like something on the floor is rigged as a trap. Care to take a look?" 

Thinking about it for a minute, Glynquinal wonders,  "What would happen if one of the redbrand bodies was thrown onto the section that looks trapped?"

Going back to the three fallen bodies, Glynquinal searches them, then starts the process of dragging the smallest one to the room with the trap in the floor.

Athletics 15 for moving the body

Investigation 17 for searching the bodies

Ian stands back to watch what will happen.

Searching the three Redbrand bodies, Glynquinal finds the first has 16 sp and 7 gp; the second, 12 sp and 5 gp; and the third, 15 ep and two garnets. The rogue then fireman carries the smallest of the three into the hallway. Rock shows him where the suspicious tiles are, and Glynquinal heaves the body onto those tiles. The body falls through the floor, taking two tiles down with him. The group looks through the hole into a very deep pit. They can see that a couple more tiles beyond are just as dangerous as the two that fell. There is a ledge on both sides of the pit the group can use to bypass the pit.

OOC: Anyone attempting to use one of the ledges to cross needs to make an acrobatics check.

Glynquinal, feeling bold, and curious what is on the other side that would cause someone to go to the trouble of laying a trap. working his way along the soulth side of the trap he will try to cross on the ledge.

Acrobatics 17

If he is successful, he will  pass a rope to Rock on the other side to make it easier for anyone else to cross that wants to take a look

Gruxx takes a gulp and if possible will use the rope as he knows he is not the most graceful.  If not possible... He will edge along the side.
