Session 0: Trella's Basement

A puzzling doorway becomes a groups only means to escape

General Summary

16th of Flamerule, 1486 DR:

Party is attacked on the road to Greenest.

We are far too deep in the ground to hope of climbing out, and the ropes to the platform are not even within eyesight.

— Tristan el'Mer

Party wakes up inside a room with a mosaic on the floor and two statues. Little information is gleaned.

Combat with a group of goblins.

A room with a locked door is discovered. The door requires items fit into sockets to unlock.

The first item is found in the barracks room on a trapped table. A secret tunnel is discovered.

The tunnel leads to a fight with a couple wargs, and the 2nd item.

The group finds a laboratory, finds some items and fights a goblin boss and a henchman. The third item is found.

The presence of a barracks and an alchemist's table, in particular, introduces a level of sophistication that transcends typical goblin establishments.

— Conrad Quillwright

The group unlocks the door at dusk, and fights undead minions of Lomis.

Lomis arrives and sends a undead Minotaur to attack the group. The Minotaur is defeated.

The dungeon collapses in on itself. The party escapes.
