OOC: Yes, you did.
Alianna, Mithrokk, and Farnakees watch the gnomes make the final repairs to the bridge you guys destroyed earlier. They use Mage Hand cantrip to lift it up, followed by Mending cantrips to fix the structural damage. They then allow you to cross to the eastern caves. The bridge holds, though you notice several gnomes exchanging coin with each other after Farnakees and Mithrokk make it across.
They reach the guard post (G9) where the two gnomes you frightened earlier warn you about Factore (in G7) since you guys are planning to go to the pantry.
"Just ran across as fast as you can," they advise you.
Farnakees wonders why MIthrokk came along, he was just gonna get a few sacks of flour...
To DM: Do we see anything in the pantry?
OOC: Wait, you guys searched the treasury. That took some time, at which point you probably realized your companions were somewhere else. Let Rastaris make his rolls, then I'll tell you when you can rejoin the others.
Farnakees and the group with him tries to get through the crossbow as fast as they can...
Investigation 18
OOC: You've got to get past Factore first.
As you approach this room from the south, you see bolted to the floor a rotating platform equipped with four heavy crossbows. Mounted atop the contraption is a giant armored box with peepholes on all sides. From inside the box, a feminine voice says, "C'mon, scum, make my day."
OOC: So you plan to Dash across?
OOC: Great, she’s a Dirty Harry fan.
After about half an hour, Rastaris and Lathalas realize almost everything in the treasury is a magic item of sorts. Most of these items are of dubious utility -- such as a pair of earrings that make the wearer look like they have elf ears or a brush that will change your hair to a different color. There might be actually useful items in the pile, but a longer search will be needed to find them.
Worried about what their companions are doing, Lathalas and Rastaris put off such a search until later.
OOC: I'll rule that you guys are leaving the treasury when the others arrive at the crossbow room.
OOC: No chests or armoires, right?
Farnakees finds cover, and advises his companions to do the same while they decide what to do.
Farnakees calls out to Factore: Fine day today, Ma'am...
OOC to DM: Is it possible to avoid G7 by passing outside?
OOC: Nope.
Mithrokk calls out to the goliath, “Farnakees! ‘Tis not a good idea to split the party! Let us turn back and fetch the others.”
"You're not taking me alive, coppers," says the voice from within the iron box.
The gnomes from the guard post have followed the party, waiting to see if you'll get killed.
"Don't try to reason with her, sir," one advises Farnakees. "She'll just rant and rave for hours "
The guards start betting with each other on which of the three will get shot first.
Farnakees agrees with the Paladin. "Alianna, Do you agree?"
"Yes, I don't like our odds here. Let's head back to the others."
OOC: Yes, but you'll have to descend to ground level, then climb 30 feet to the cave entrance that leads to the dining room.
OOC: The party re-unites outside the guard post. What's your next move?
