Session 24: Infiltration Report

General Summary

When we last left our adventurers… The Vanquishers, as they now stylized themselves, had found the entrance to The Brotherhood’s hidey hole under The Laughing Harpy. A cleverly disguised trapdoor was found under a false bag of goods and the group made their way down the ladder into the darkness below. They found a door with 6 locks and words written next to them in a variety of languages. They knew some of them but not all. Thalos turned into a spider to get a closer look at the door and determined that in fact, all of them were trapped. Cloud surmised that picking the wrong ones would lead to the trap going off. Without any other way to decide, Cloud picked a lock and chose correctly, opening the door without any issues. The following room appeared to have nothing in it other than a statue of a beautiful elven woman, hand outstretched, pointing towards the door they entered. They found that the statue could turn and by slowly turning the found two secret doors. These doors opened into corridors that dead ended. The door that didn’t have voices coming from it was chosen and after finding the trigger for the secret door the party found themselves in a vault. There were a few chests and other loose treasure in the room along with two doors. As soon as Thalos touched the first item in the room, something invisible began attacking. The doors also started attacking the party, revealing themselves as mimics. The group took care of the enemies and filled the bag of holding with the loot. The moved back to the second corridor and Talen opened the door onto a guard room. 4 guards and their captain weren’t caught completely by surprise but did put up some resistance. Thalso used a tidal wave to take out a lot of them and the rest of the party finished of the guards. Before the captain was killed, it did appear that he was using a small stone to communicate with someone else. Thalos picked up the stone and attempted to tell whoever was on the other end that everything was fine but failed in his deception. The voice on the other end warned them to leave, or they would all die. An amulet was also found on the dead captain that the group used to open the double doors on the other side of the room from where they entered. On the other side of the door was a small landing and a long rope bridge, but instead of rope, this bridge was made of metal cabling. The bridge traversed a deep dark chasm and attached to another small landing on the opposite side. Will the group rest? Will they push on into the unknown? What waits on the other side of the bridge?
