Bevin takes up his usual position following Aram. :)

The party returns down the tunnel they came from, with the rescued man, still clumsy from his long imprisonment, accompanying them.

When the other T intersection is reached, the abbot indicates that you should keep going, and you return to the ladder with a trapdoor above that you didn't investigate yet.

This turns out to lead to the secret trapdoor entrance to the guesthouse, which only opens from the tunnel side. Everything is as you left it - the door is still open, and the two monster's bodies are outside.

The unkempt man eyes the abandoned food hungrily. "What happened here?" he inquires. "And where did they go?"

" 'They'... had a meal horribly interrupted. Or something like that. By the Arcane Powers, it seems like years have passed since we were here last!"
 

"Yes, we were able to overcome their attack through a combination of magic and martial prowess. They fled, and we gave chase, but they managed to lose us. That is how we ended up in the tunnels below this place."

The dervish turns his attention to finding a heavy piece of furniture or statuary that can be moved over the trapdoor, to prevent another surprise attack from that route. "Bevin, once we secure this place, we should burn the bodies of those creatures. After a quick search, of course."

Bevin sighs heavily "SIGH!! Once again I am forced to rely upon manual labor to accomplish a task that any wizard worth his salt would do by using a spell!" Bevin helps to 'Dwarf-handle' the nearest heavy object that Aram can find on top of the trapdoor, grunting and straining the whole time. Then he checks his tinderbox and goes to search the bodies of the creatures.

"Praise Amaunator that you did find me. I was beginning to lose hope." the abbot says, resting a hand on the nearest person to steady himself. He's shaking from the exertion after such a long time trapped, and quite weak from a lack of substanence.

"Not to be a bother, but you haven't by chance any extra food or water do you? It has been far too long and I'm quite hungry. Also, if they should have some proper clothes, or at least something better than these tatters, I would greatly appreciate it." the man says quietly, almost embarrassed by his condition and appearance.

"I don't generally carry food and water," says Aram to Father Fuller. He holds up his hand, displaying an assortment of gold and silver rings. "One of these rings provides me with all the necessary sustenance to survive." The dervish then unslings his backpack and begins rummaging through it. "I do have some extra clothing, though." Aram begins pulling some very well tailored, high quality travelling clothes from his pack and handing them to the cleric.

Aram will give Father Fuller a set of well-tailored Traveller's Outfit.

"Well, Father Fuller, says Bevin, "It's not much, but you're more than welcome to the leftovers on the table up in our cabin. And, if I may accompany you back there, I'll at least scrounge around and see if I can locate a clean plate and fork for you to use."
 

Bowing slightly to Aram in thanks for the clothes, Father Fuller gathers the fine outfit in his arms, but once he sees the food, the abbot drops the clothes and rushes over to the meal. Father Fuller scarfs the food down, not even tasting it or waiting for Bevin's offer of silverware, chewing loudly and lets out a large belch as he nears completion. He looks over at the others and the colour begins to return to his face.

"One problem solved, and now for the other." Father Fuller says, as he turns around and attempts to hide as much from the others as possible before undressing and putting on Aram's clothes. In his current state they hang off him like the flowing robes of certain wizards.

He comes back to the group "How do I look?" he asks rhetorically, then says "Now what?"
