PFS #7: Among the Living

[InVinoVeritas]

"And who, precisely, are these 'we'? Not just the followers of the death god... who is responsible for your success? After all, you'll want your names to live on, even after all Oppara is dead," Miryam responds, trying to coax an answer from him.

"Why the powerful Fel Bustrani who led your compatriot Bodriggan Wuthers to gain us access to Chamber of the Stone, the very power that is allowing us to send this undead scourge across the city of Oppara!" the man replies. "Now please, spare me, I have told you all I know!"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"Where is this 'Chamber of the Stone?' And is Pathfinder Wuthers still within?"

 

[IronWolf]

The soldier makes a nod towards the stairs that lead down from the backstage area you are in. As if continuing to seek more mercy he slowly pulls a letter out from a pouch along his belt and hands it to you, "This is all I know. Please, please spare me."

Miryam picks up Lieutenant Quint's heavy pick. "Thank you," she says.

"Rynn, please escort this fellow to the Magistros. I'll investigate downstairs."

She waits for the soldier to be escorted out.

Rynn does a quick check of the soldier for any other weapons and then leads him back towards one of the offstage storage closets for safe keeping.

With the soldier gone, Kyra once again grasps her holy symbol and says a prayer to Sarenrae. A wave of warm energy flows from her and washes over herself, Jalil and Miryam causing the various wounds incurred to lessen as some of the pain fades.

Everyone gets 2hp back from the channel energy.

Slight pause here for any other actions before heading down the stairs. Kyra has 1 cure spell left and 3 channel energies.

OOC: This could be tough. Jalil's used up pretty much everything except straight-up physical combat, and he's mediocre at best at that.

"Thank you, Kyra," Miryam replies, hefting the pick. "What we can't do by force, we'll have to perform by guile. Let's move the lieutenant's corpse into the stairwell."

She adds, "Hide in the stairwell until I learn more about what has happened."

She says a few arcane words, and her figure becomes cloaked in a haze that quickly solidifies, revealing the appearance of the late Lieutenant Quint.

"I'll see just how we can surprise them."

With that, she heads down the opposite stairwell.

Miryam and Jalil work to move the lieutenant's corpse to one of the stairwells. As the pair does so, they hear the clinking of glass from within one of the pouches along her belt. Stopping to examine it they find a vial of light blue liquid which Kyra says looks and smells much like a potion of cure light wounds.

Finally getting the lieutenant stashed away, Kyra and Jalil hide in that stairwell as Miryam makes a transformation into a stunning look alike of the body they just moved to the stairwell. She then heads down the opposite stairwell making her way down a spiral staircase to the area beneath the opera house.

Miryam finds herself in a musty basement with several large oversized crates that appear to be in storage. The room is lit by several lit standing lamps, the flickering flames making shadows dance all across the damp basement walls. To the eastern side of the basement on the other side of the crates a hand dug tunnel leaves the basement, lit lamps on either side. Even from here the walls glisten with moisture as the tunnel heads off into darkness.

[sblock=OOC]

Potion of cure light was found on the fallen lieutenant when moving the body.

Miryam returns to the others. "The room is filled with crates, I suspect traps," she replies. "When I call I have found the path, then come."

Miryam rushes back down, knowing time is of the essence. She climbs atop one of the crates and traverses the room jumping from crate to crate, trying to stay out of sight of the lanterns.
