They went down first. What they found was a cellar filled with crates and sacks. Inside were varieties of mushroom flour and spices. Enough food for an army for weeks. Plus the crates came in handy to use as barricades. Darian went back up to the main door and sealed it with a new spell from Lathander. A stone wall. Sully and Alya went up the other stairs after Fiddle checked for traps. The party then settled in for a good thorough search of the place for hidden treasures, doors, and magic.The Faerzress was corrupt. It had been infiltrated heavily with necromantic magic. Sully came down with a few new potions and a scroll. An alchemical lab topped the tower and afforded a view of the city below. Some large ugly creature was leading a search their way. It was at the terrace.Fiddle found a trapdoor in the cellar. It was very well hidden. He opened it."Who wants to go first?" Fiddle asked of Alya."Why, I think," Alya paused. "You do." He shoved Fiddle.Fiddle caught himself and tumbled clear. He lit his lantern and looked around the tunnel. "All's clear," he shouted back up.The others descended and Darian closed and latched the door behind. After a little travel they found a body at the base of a ladder. A dagger buried in the back of the cervical curve angled upwards. A young emaciated human girl. Darian checked for life. It was obvious none remained. Dead 3 days. He prepared it for proper burial. Fiddle climbed the ladder. He looked around. They were in an open courtyard. He tumbled out and got his bearings and then returned.Vlad and Alya meanwhile had found another hidden tunnel. It was trapped. A blade just missed Fiddle as he tried to cross. He and Vlad took turns trying to jam the mechanism. They succeed after a few minutes. The new tunnel descended rather noticeably. And once again it led to a ladder. This one came up in the lower terrace. A building that looked just like a Large Spider, but it was in ruins was just across the way. Fiddle went again to check on things. Nothing. No easy way in from this side. And he didn't want to go to far away from his escape hole. So he returned."What now?" Darian asked.The party argued and finally convinced Grishelm to become a goblin and go spy on one of the campfires. The others settled in and took care of the young girl's body.When Grishelm returned the round of debates began anew. The drow obviously had the Black Grail. And the Giant army wanted it. Darian pointed out that the Giants were probably the Quaan. He also let slip a little of what he'd learned of the White Banshee while in Tilverton. And about a subplot of intrigue he'd arranged in case of trouble. Four days from now his church would scry the party if they could penetrate the Faerzress.</blockquote>
