Luthal and Zook both silently move over to each of the two thugs and raise their weapons. The two look at each other, and when Luthal nods, they both bring the blunt ends of their weapons across the unprotected skulls of the sleeping men.
**THUNK!!**
As the axe and spear both connect, each man's body convulses awake for just a moment in shock, but then their eyes cross and they both fall limp. Luthal and Zook smile at each other, give themselves a pat on the back, and as Zook goes down to call for Kolarred, Luthal drags them over to the staircase and ties each man up to the solid wooden railing.
When Kolarred and Zook come back upstairs, the three make a quick assessment of the situation. Both thugs are unconscious, but easily awoken if they wanted to question them. A quick search of the men and the area reveals them both wearing high quality travelling outfits, boots and gloves. The only weapons on them are a dagger sheathed in their boots, strangely enough. Each has a purse on their belt with approximately 50 gold pieces in it, one thug has a bunch of rings on his fingers, while the other wears a medallion around his neck. Finally, the group notices there are no backpacks, weapons, or armor to be found on this level.
