Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Rook

"If Allois is being held here, he'll likely be further down. However, if he's not here, it would seem we're more likely to find information regarding his whereabouts up here."

Radoon - Mariner/Fighter/Master Thrower

"I like the idea of knowing what is above us below descending. Let's see clear the rooms on this level and then we can drop down a level."
 

Rook

"That works for me as well."

As they progress, Rook will look for any other belaying pins or daggers laying around.

OOC: Can't roll right now - can't get onto Invisible Castle
 

The current level is, as noted, storerooms mostly. You do find a handful (6 actually) of kitchen knives that will serve as fair daggers (-1 to hit and doing 1-3 damage). No belaying pins this time around.

OOC: Up or down?
 



Finn Hunter

Waiting for input from the good captains as to whether we should leave or if they have any questions they would like to put to the girl.
 

The interogation

OOC: Last post from James was that he had to go out of town suddenly and might be a while posting. That leaves Finn to make the decisions at this point.

Captain DeGrasse considers for a moment and says, "See if you can get any more details out of her. Why are they doing this? What's going on?" Captain Morwyn seems lost in thought.
 

Going Down

Rook, Radoon and company make an interesting discovery in the lower floor of larders and cellars. A service entrance if you will. It is much less extravagant than the ornate gondolas you came down on. The system of ropes is similar and their is still a man on duty here along with an ogre guard. The cars are best described as 'box cars.' They are unpainted wood planking about ten feet long by five wide and ten feet tall. Eight humans can stand inside comfortably, but only two ogres can ride at a time. There are no seats just a few indentations to keep kegs from rolling about and some ropes hanging down one can use to steady oneself. There is a good sized sack of goods behind the ogre and another beside the human operator of the cars. You'd guess they've been taking a toll in exchange for letting staff leave with silver, booze and foodstuffs from the cellars and larders. A handful of people in the clothes of servants and kitchen staff are boarding a 'car'. Some carry bundles. There is little else of interest down here as it appears the staff are carrying out anything valuable as they escape.
