The Heroes of Fannen-Dar

"The people of Fannen-Dar never would allow it, but those tunnels have been abandoned for centuries, and forgotten by most, so the Ice Skulls probably found a tunnel that somehow led from outside of the town's walls.

"As for myself and how I know this, well..." He glances at the halfling woman, then continues. "I'll be honest. On my journey to Fannen-Dar, I too was attacked by an Ice Skull raiding party, just as the rest of the travelers have been recently. Luckily, it was a small party and I made it out alive, but they took an item that has significant importance to me. My guards also managed to kill a few of them before they escaped with some of my other possessions. On the body of one of the kobolds, the leader of the party, I think, was a letter from the dragon himself, and the letter told me about the tunnels and the map. Although the dragon did not reveal his name, I am sure that he is still rather young, from the way he...or she, come to think of it, wrote."

"Very Well. I Will Help Remove The Kobolds From Under The Inn And Recover The Map. We Can Resume Discussion Of Attacking Kobold Hall When We Have The Map."
 

"We barely even know each other," the exotic-featured woman points out. "We have not even met before now."

"Please call me May."

She then looks at Zenith. "Do you have the letter with you?"
 

Thomas nods, "Yes the letter would be good, at least to prove what you've said so far is true," the half-elf says with a half-smile. Thomas crosses his arms over his chest. "Do you have any idea how to get under the city? I'd hate to trek around for half a day to only find it a waste of time."
 

Zenith shakes his head. "Unfortunately, I have misplaced the letter. I would like to have it as proof, but I really am only trying to help.

"According to the letter, though, there is a trapdoor in the basement of the Dragon's Den Inn that nobody but the kobolds know about. You should go now and talk to the innkeeper, Ren Strithaw, to see if you can get into the basement. I have my own things to do, so I will meet you back here after you return from your journey. Good luck, brave ones." With that, if no one tries to stop him to ask something else, Zenith leaves, disappearing into the crowd.

The Dragon's Den Inn looms only a few yards away, bustling with patrons. Smells of the inn drift from inside...Are you ready to go?
 

May looks at the other ones gathered there, people she doesn't even know the name of. Here on the word of someone who knew a great deal of things 'no one else knew' because of a letter he 'misplaced.'

Was she just paranoid? Could this be a plot? But...that made no sense. Why bother with complicated intrigue when if they knew where she was, when they could simply strike directly at that point? That was obviously a flawed theory. But how much more sense did it make for there to be a "secret" trap door in the basement of a well trafficked inn?

"I have many doubts," she says to the others quietly, "but it seems as if -something- is going on, whether or not it is as Zenith says. Are we in agreement?"
 

Thomas nods. "I agree something is going on. I have a feeling we aren't getting the whole story. If there is a trapdoor beneath the inn, we need to look into it." Thomas glances toward the inn, worry on his face. "Ren is a father to me. I'd hate to put him in danger if the kobolds realize we found the trapdoor."
 

1812 stands unnaturally still as Zenith departs. After a few moments he speaks. "There Are Incongruent Details In His Story. Finding The Map May Answer Questions He Wouldn't."
