[QUOTE="kmdietri, post: 5756819, member: 1549"] [b]Chapter 4, Episode 3 (December 22, 2011):[/b] Characters: Nemis Figstone; Srongheart Halfling, Spellthief 8 Grymtoe Stronghand; Dwarf, Evoker 6, Force Missile Mage 2 Grittil Rockstaff; Dwarf, Cleric 8 Robin; Strongheart Halfling Rogue 5, Fighter 2, Druid 1 Tentalus; Human Psychic Warrior 3, Barbarian 2, Psion 1, Erudite 1 Begin Log (Chess 1, 1370DR) Day 62: The aftermath of the battle... As the group gathers up the bodies, horses and gear Nemis and his Familiar use Commune to deduce some information regarding Castle Steppengard prison. They learn that their is an entrance to the prison from outside the city walls, and that it's located on the north side of the city and somehow associated with the sewers. Their questions regarding the murder of family Steppengard comeback as 'unclear,' with something seemingly blocking their attempts. The group decides on a course of action. We tell Balan to wait here with the horses as we go back and sneak into the prison to try and rescue Proxy Jinnis. We head back and look for the 'entrance' located on the outside of the city walls... We get to within a mile of the city and we think it will be too dangerous to approach any closer. We decide that Nemis will try and find the entrance and then return to inform the group. The group returns to Balan's position and hides with the horses. Nemis locates a small tributary from the river, which he follows to a cemetery just north of the city wall. He sees an entrance to a tunnel below the city walls. Nemis decides this is likely the entrance and returns to the group. The group hunkers down until after dark... Darkness falls and we make our way back as a group, leaving Balan to await our return... We move into the cemetery and make our way towards a sewer entrance. As we're approaching the entrance we notice a hidden looking mausoleum. We make our way into the mausoleum and discover Tentalus bound and gagged. We untie him. Tentalus tells us that he was told by Simeon about the news of King Steppengard's family, and was ordered to travel after the group. But upon getting to Bresk, he was arrested on site, due to his appearance. He remembers being taken to the dungeon. Tentalus confirm that there were two other people in the prison with him, two humans. Jinnis also told him that Nina is responsible, or perhaps the Ragesians, or perhaps both in concert. We also find a note on the table: "Leave this one here, leave him alive, the Rags will pick him up tonight." As we're discussing a course of action we hear screaming coming from the sewer exit which forces our hand and we rush over to get into the sewers. After a bit of fire and a lot of pulling from Tentalus we break the grate closing the entrance and we move into the tunnel. As Grittil enters he notices that every 5-foot square of the cave floor is full of undead limbs sticking out of the frozen cave floor. Grittil turns some of them but realizes it is pretty ineffectual. We decide to hack our way through... We hear a vaguely familiar voice saying 'I don't know anything' Eventually the screaming stops and we fear the worst. We make it to a grate in the ceiling, we begin trying to force our way in. After several moments of trying Nemis gets his familiar to move, in toad form, into one of the sewer pipes. Grizzazzilfax reports that there are prison cells on the other side with 2 human prisoners. After more trying to no effect Nemis sends Grizzazzilfax through the grate, again as a toad. Grizzazzilfax reports seeing a torture chamber with Torrax the Ragesian inquisitor in the room apparently waiting for us to make an appearance. Finally, after much effort we get the grate open and Torrax attacks us.... When we finally get up into the room, we see Balan's corpse splayed on the torture table... Tentalus moves up into the room but is forced back down after taking a lot of damage and noticing and undead creature in a small room off to the side. Grittil heals Tentalus up and moves to the opening in an attempt to turn the undead creature. But before he can call down his God's power he is hit by the beasts tongue and paralysed. Tentalus moves up and attacks Torrax who now stands side by side with the undead, Tentalus pulls Torrax down and grapples him. After a few rounds the group manages to kill Torrax but now faces Jutras. Tentalus manages to pull Jutras down and begins grappling, but before long Jutras paralyses Tentalus and moves on to Grymtoe. Grymtoe quickly gets grappled by Jutras, but not before hitting it with a Thunderlance. After a long miraculous struggle, with Robin healing Grymtoe, Nemis firing at both of them on the ground with his Grave Strike wand luckily missing Grymtoe with every shot, and Grymtoe valiantly resisting the paralization, Grymtoe manages to free his Magic Missile wand and start delivering some offence. Shortly thereafter Grittil finally shakes his paralyzation and helps to bring down the creature with some offensive healing spells. With the creature finally vanquished Grymtoe begins searching the bodies, while Nemis scouts up ahead invisibly, and Tentalus shakes off the effects of the paralyzation. After discovering a notebook on Balan's corpse and two 'storage rooms' Nemis hears a conversation behind a third door and returns to the group to report what he's found.
