[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 3976810, member: 5868"] [b][u]Session 7: Set Sail from Sasserine[/u][/b][u][/u] Thalas looked at Liane. "So what happened when the bullywugs attacked? Where is Cascus?" The Jade Ravens looked at each other. "They just attacked. We don't know how they got in, though it seems obvious now," Tollern explained. "We fought most of them in the courtyard until we were overwhelmed." "I was knocked out pretty quickly," Liane explained, "I don't know what happened after that." "They are probably somewhere else in the manor," Morderas speculated. "Are there any secret rooms in the place? Here in the basement?" Lavinia shook her head. Thalas suddenly had a bright idea. "Arjan! Have Korlick track the bullywugs! We can probably figure out where they went." Arjan nodded, and had Korlick sniff the bullywug corpse, then encouraged the dog to lead them. Korlick bounded up the stairs to the ground floor, then turned down a hallway. They found themselves in a large trophy hall filled with stuff animals and unusual creatures. "You're going to hell for this, Lavinia," Arjan murmurred. Down at the end of the trophy hall, three bullywugs were clustered around the stuffed form of a giant frog that stood taller than they did.
