(YBA) Kalath in the dungeons of Tutul

[Wicht]

There are soft voices beyond the door, but kalath can not make out what they are saying. Opening the door softly and looking out through the crack, Kalath sees a plushly decorated room, with three men at a green velveted table playing cards. There are numerous wooden chips on the table and the walls are lined with bottles of wine and fine paintings.

Motioning to his companion to stay silent for a second, Kalath ascertains if he can see any doors from what he sees of the room. He also looks at the men, trying to figure out what type of people and noting anything distinctive or extraordinary.

Kalath also keeps one ear open for anything he can hear from the sewers.

 

[Wicht]

There is indeed a door across the room. The men are an odd mix of thuggery and civility. Kalath guesses they are probably criminals of some sort by the bits of conversation he can hear, but they dress as if they have been successful criminals.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath eases the door shut as softly and slowly as he opened it and moves a bit back from it.

Whispering to his companion, Kalath says, "We seem to have stumbled upon the hideout of some group... criminals, I believe. They currently seem to be playing cards. For now, I think it would be best for us to wait here. If they leave we may be able to sneak by unimpeded."

"In the mean time, we need to decide on where we want to get to. Is there any place that you know of that would be a safe haven for you?"

 

[Wicht]

"I have been imprisoned for the last few hundred years," says the man, "I know little about what is currently going on. The people that populated my city have long ago been killed or driven away. I have no where to go. I can easily blend in however, if we can get out of these sewers."

He sits on the floor, ready to wait.

"I would like to take my revenge on the one who imprisoned me, but that may take some doing."

 

[graydoom]

"Good, with luck this may lead to an unguarded exit."

With that said, Kalath sits down to rest and wait, listening at the door so he hears if the men get up or leave.

 

[Wicht]

Booted feet tramp through the waters of the sewer outside the secret door.

After a while, perhaps thirty minutes, Kalath and the Bard do indeed hear the sound of the men leaving the room. Looking out, Kalath sees the room is now empty.

 

[graydoom]

"Good, they've left. The sewers are probably still being searched by the cultists, so I think our best bet is to try to make our way through this place and hope it leads outside."

With that, Kalath slips into the room, takes a look around to see if there is anything important that he didn't see from the door, and then goes to the other door and listens at it for a few seconds before opening just as he did the previous door.

 

[Wicht]

The door that Kalath enters the room through turns out to look like a painting from the other side.

The room appears to be a comfortable place in which to play cards.

through the other door, Kalath can hear the sound of many voices.

 

[graydoom]

"Many people... I'll see if I can distinguish anything. Most likely we're in some sort of thieves guild."

Kalath does just that, trying to distinguish anything from the multitude of voices beyond the door.
