Session 5: the sword and the brewery Report

General Summary

Rand Bluecastle and Krastephor made an afternoon rekkie of The Hearse Before the Cart brewery, reported to be the local thieves' guild. This is where they were supposed to return the flaming sword. After a pint they noticed likely guild members entering the back room and never exiting so they figured this was a way in.   They returned later in the evening with some potions of invisibility and flying to help them on their way. The back room, behind the bar, was full of barrels, but one of these hid a secret door to a passage and spiral stairs going up and down, the former curious as this was a one-story building! Turns out the upper stories were hid by powerful illusions.    The two headed to the top and east side of the building as Adventurers' Guild members said they should. Here they encountered the master's chambers guarded by three thugs in an antechamber and a mechanical, poisonous, snake creature in the inner sanctum. These were all dispatched, but not easily, and the flaming sword returned. Rand made off with a small chest and both of them used potions of flying to leap from the windows to safety.   Back at the Guild, Wheatley agreed to open the chest, with the help of his magic, for a cut of the loot. He got the potions, Rand claimed a magical dagger with snake engraving, and Krastephor got the gems and a potion of healing.   What will happen next?
