[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5980598, member: 16069"] Session 2 Part 2 The PCs hot foot (and row boat) it across to the island, quickly discover the crudely hidden entrance to the lair and head down a set of eroded spiral stairs. A wide corridor leads to yet another set of stairs leading down to a closed door- the place is ancient but clean with signs of recent passage- their are sounds and light ahead, beyond the door. The PCs quickly, quietly, move in- slam the door open, take in the enemy (more Monster Knowledge checks) and then launch their attack. The chamber beyond the door is damp, rotten and decayed in places, and ancient- centuries old. It looks to have been put to use not so very long ago… more than one person has met their end here… Oddly there’s a bell over the far side of the chamber, between two stone tables that look to have been used to perform sacrifices. In the center of the chamber is a well- of sorts. Closer to the door are two cages… EMPTY!

They needn’t have worried.

Another wanted criminal- a hired-hand, but also a suspected murderer; about six months back Dirk killed a man in a bar fight- or so it is said. There’s a 25gp reward for his capture dead or alive.

I tell the PCs that this guy, when he finally appears, is a tramp! The fight is bloody from the get-go, in the PCs initial rush the Dragonborn Mercenary, Garky, is left dangling over the edge of the well- not a good start. It gets worse seconds later when Ayumu sends him screaming down to his death- that’s no well! Destructorr is quickly bloodied again, and Morok takes a bash or two, however Garlick Shalefall is smashed down by the Warforged, and soon after the Human Vermin Thrower and (ex-)Corporal Ralph Sinner are sent to early graves. Dirk Tragga is bloodied- he quickly surrenders and is stuffed in one of the empty cages. The PCs take a snoop around the place and then search the dead guys.
