[QUOTE="Gruck, post: 1382023, member: 16819"] [b]Stupid Bard[/b] Translated from Orcish for the more discerning reader. Sam closed the bar and Tarrick began to check out the back room. Linder and I tied up the bartender bard, rouge waitress and the drunken half-orc. Not me this time. Linder and I went through several iterations of knot tying to get the bard secure. Sam and Tarrik found a door to the upstairs apartments of the dead assasin and the bard. Yet again there was a timed trap that they didn't check for and "KABOOM" three thunderstones and 3 viles of knockout gas dropped from the cieling. Both of the guys fell and Linder went to save them. He got them out and waited for the room to clear. There wasn't anyone upstairs in the secret rooms. We checked the other rooms and there wasn't anyone there either. We decided to do a more effective search of the premises. Before we could the town guards came and we showed badges. They were going to guard the outside while we made sure the inside was clean.
