Riardon rummages through a chest of drawers. Most of the documents on top of the chest have been burned to ashes, but he manages to recover what looks like a letter that has been recently drafted.[sblock=Letter]
[/sblock] The letter also contains some odd drawings.[sblock=Drawings]
[/sblock]In the chest of drawers, he finds, folded neatly, and still in pristine condition, a frock coat made of light, but surprisingly sturdy, dark-blue drake scales, studded with small diamonds that sparkle like stars behind stormy clouds. [sblock=Treasure]Fortification Drakescale Armor +2[/sblock]Fenwick sees a series of very thin ledger drawers, but they actually contain several maps. Some look familiar.[sblock=Maps][sblock=New Map]
[/sblock][sblock=A familiar Map]
[/sblock][sblock=Another Familiar Map]
[/sblock][/sblock]In another drawer, Fenwick notices a small whetstone. Seeing that his axe needs sharpening, he begins to stroke the stone over the blade of his weapon. As he does, the edge appears to take on an unnaturally keen edge[sblock=Treasure]Vanguard Executioner’s Axe +2[/sblock]Gensai sees a desk next to the corridor that looks like it was the primary letter writing station of the library. On it are the remains of a stationary kit, destroyed by the earlier skirmish, but barely recognizable. What’s left is a letter opener and a box containing sealing wax as well as a signet.[sblock=Signet]
[/sblock] There is a letter written in Rujah’s language. Perhaps he can decipher it.[sblock=Another Letter]
[/sblock] Opening another drawer in the desk is an ivory amulet, spectacularly encgraved. Enamored by the style, he takes it for his own, slipping it over his head and around his neck. Immediately he feels a rush of vitality.[sblock=Treasure]Periapt of Cascading Health[/sblock]Mervin moves about the desk on the other side of the corridor. This was obviously dedicated to the study and scribing of rituals. Atop a pile of papers the wizard spies an odd-looking, leather headband. It doesn’t appear to be anything special, but experience has shown him not to take anything at face value. Placing it on his head, he immediately feels smarter, suddenly realizing that he had to shove aside two valuable ritual scrolls in order to get to the headband.[sblock=Treasure]Headband of Intellect.

Hand of Fate.[/sblock]Rujah also moves around, trying to find something of value in the room. To his frustration, he finds no information, but he does find a curious jade figurine depicting an animal that resembles an ankylosaurus [sblock=Treasure]Jade Macetail.[/sblock]As the dragonborn inspects the wondrous item, a voice brings him and his companions up short, “Murdererssss!”
GM: | Unfortunately, you are the victims of a bad die roll.
Chance of Discovery: 1d10=2
You have been caught by surprise. Your adversaries have a surprise round.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to roll it tonight, so I figured I'd let you all stew over these clues and get used to your new-found goodies while I drum up the stat blocks and get everybody going.
See you tomorrow night! | |
