The Enemy Within: Shadows Over Bögenhafen

None of the items seem to be magical in themselves, but they are all components in a ritual for summoning and binding demons. The platter is made of fine silver and may well cover the cost of the scroll.

"Hmm, good," Aaryn says as he examines the items. "Trapped?" he asks to no one in particular as he continues to look closely (Perception).
 

Aaryn doesn't think any of the items are trapped. Hans looks over and shakes his head, but he doesn't seem to have put much effort into checking.

The silver platter is good quality, hallmarked silver, worth about 40 Crowns to the right buyer. It is a fairly plain design, nothing to make it stand out.

The dagger is a simple steel dagger, albeit with a wavy blade like the kind that comes from Araby. Again it has no distinguishing features apart from being caked with blood that must have encrusted over a long period of time.

The iron-bound skull is probably from a human with poor dentistry (which in the Old World doesn't narrow it down much...). The iron band has been crudely attached. Gorim and Kildrak are likely more repulsed at the shoddy workmanship than the item itself.

[MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION] - Kildrak was going to try to get sewer plans from the Town Hall; do you still want to go ahead with that?

Yes, plans sound like a good idea, there may be more of those hidden rooms (and I would like to see if the original room is in the plans)


As for the skull, Kildrak takes a look, hears it's not magical and inscribes a rune of rest on it before smashing it with a hammer.

Plate, he hands to Max
"Can you get us something for it?

Anyone wants the dagger?"
 

OOC: I think I am a little lost at the moment for what we are supposed to do. There do not seem to be many opportunities for adventure nearby and I feel like we have quite thoroughly investigated everything we have come across. I think the sewer plans are our only lead to anything at the moment.
 

Well, yes, we're waiting for the plans. Other then that, we have to sell one of our humans (not sure which) as an inheritor and evil cult member. There is also a matter of dwarven wrath, some noble who took off in the meantime insulted them and they do not forget or forgive easily. Finally, there is that trade concern and handkerchief...
 

Later that morning, as noon approaches, Kildrak [ooc: and others?] visits the Town Hall seeking plans for the sewers. After being directed to the Department of Public Works, then the Department of Records, then the Department of Sanitation, back to the Department of Public Workss and finally back to the Department of Records he finally manages to borrow a copy of the sewer plans.

Whoever built the temple evidently did so without permission as it is not on the plans, although you can discern where it ought to be. The clerk assures you that these are the very latest plans, based on a survey conducted 57 years ago.

A is the vent where the goblin entered, B is the manhole where the party entered, C is the location where the demonic temple should be (under the building on the map).

"So, at least we can access most manors if somehow we need to. Anybody sees anything conspicuous?"

[MENTION=21938]Dr Simon[/MENTION], what's that great void in the middle? Town square? Palace? City Hall?
 

OOC: The left side, with the big wedge-shaped section, is the Dreieckeplatz with the Town Hall (the smaller inner wedge). The right-hand side is Gotplatz where the temples are, the largest is the rectangular shape near the bottom, which is the Temple of Sigmar. Below that, the round section between B and C is the park in the middle of the Adel Ring, a rich part of town.
 

So, why don't temples and town hall have sewers? Or the do have them, just more recent then 57 years? Same for noble houses.
