Bazrim grabs the rope and attempts to pull himself up. However, the less-than-fit dwarf can't hoist his own weight. Nethezar makes no effort at discretion, as he guffaws at Bazrim. Erdolliel senses no traps on the door, and, after failing on the first attempt, she pries open the lock on the...

Erdolliel spots nothing.

Erdolliel and Eskard hoist themselves back to the catwalk and return to the room with the cells. Just as the elf is about to begin searching the door for traps, she realizes something very odd: both Martal and Regim are gone. The apparently dead man in the very first cell is still precisely...

Erdolliel begins an exhaustive search of the crammed room. After nearly two hours, the elf has gone through various records, all of which are at least 10 years old, detailing the various business workings of the business. The elf has gathered that, at least at that time, the Sodden Hold...

Taking a quick glance outside, Ilya nods. "This looks like the River Quarter, though I don't frequent it. This district is just outside the city walls. I should be able to reach one of the gates without too much trouble." The elven noblewoman turns to leave, but abruptly turns back. "Here,"...

Erdolliel quickly assesses the dimensions of the building. As she looks around outside, she also gets a better look at the building itself. It has a sign marking it as "Sodden Hold," though that means nothing to the elf. It is also built mostly of stone with a wood shingle roof. It is...

When Erdolliel mentions the possibility of spending perhaps two hours searching the room, Ilya opens her mouth to say something. But Kushnak's interjection silences her, and she seems satisfied with the half-orc cleric's conclusion. Erdolliel attempts to open the lock on the double doors...

The group clambers down the rope. While Kushnak very nearly falls the short distance, everyone manages to make it to the bottom. Ilya coughs in the rising dust. Erdolliel's first attempt on the locked door fails, but, again after taking a moment to calm herself, she slips it open. The door...

Taking a deep breath, Erdolliel focuses herself, since she isn't under too much pressure. With a satisfying "click" the lock opens. As suspected, the door leads back into the main room.

Nethezar looks at Ilya. "I know, you'd never expect a dwarf and elf couple. But they do have the very cutest of pet names. And you should hear her purr when she strokes his beard..." Erdolliel, meanwhile, drops down. Her search turns up nothing, save a great deal of dust, suggesting that...

Erdolliel carefully enters the room. It seems that her caution is warranted. As she gets near the ladder, she realizes that the catwalk is weak. The elf only barely reacts in time to avoid danger, as the end of the catwalk collapses in a heap of dust and debris.

Bazrim's cursory scan reveals the presence of magic only when he faces the direction of his companions (including Ilya). Let me know if you intend to concentrate further.Erdolliel, hearing nothing at the door, opens it. It leads to the upper level of a 10 by 25 foot room. The catwalk...

Aeron nods to Sir Merrick. "I will be ready. And for now, I will let Ciaran sleep. We will likely need his spells at full strength tomorrow."

And now the moment for which you've all been waiting...Erdolliel takes painstaking care to investigate the contents of the containers in the room. For all her trouble, she finds nothing that seems of note: rough cloth, obviously spoiled ale, unconnected links of chainmail. Once the elf appears...

Haven't had a post here in awhile... As noted in the IC thread, I've finally posted the Part IV summary. I've also updated the Encounters defeated and XP. I believe that is the correct total, particularly for the crafting goo. I believe that Neth has made 4 CLW wands (30 XP each) and that...

FYI, I finally got the Part IV summary done.

Erdolliel's search of the room will take a very long time. Are you planning on waiting for her to finish, or going forward (south) without her? If you go without her, do I correctly surmise that the intention is to go through the south door atop the catwalk (since its the only one not locked)...

Erdolliel makes her way to the double doors, finding nothing in her path. When she checks the doors, she finds them locked like the others, but not trapped.

Erdolliel deftly jumps back down to the floor. As she carefully combs the area, Ilya, who had been hiding in the room with the stairs, looks out on the catwalk and watches the group with amazement. Erdolliel's searching turns up no traps, but both doors (on this level) along the south wall are...

As the elf and dwarf trade barbs, Nethezar chuckles with genuine mirth. Looking at Kushnak, he asks, "How in the world did we normal folk end up with these oddities?" The scholar pauses a moment, then adds, "Nevermind. I'm probably the only normal one of us." Erdolliel is, soon enough, out...
