Chapter 4: Wizard's Basement

Weston

"Then let us take it and check it later. I think we have everything we came for down here, yes?"

[alver]

Urtesi

"We could take just the plate mail. Or, if you don't mind camping and resting here, I could pray to divine if any of these are magical. They were hidden away rather well, so who knows."

[Rex]

Egon

"We can just take everything." Egon will search the room for hidden compartments/doors etc.

[GreyWolfVT]

nothing more is found.

[Rex]

Egon

"OK, lets examine the armor and see if we can figure out what is most valuable." Egon examines it all carefully to see if he can tell what is nicest.

[GreyWolfVT]

Egon has his eye of the dwarf sized armor telling it is excellent dwarf craftsmanship. He feels a racial favor of it even if he cannot use it and his quick handed skills at the same time. His warrior side tells him it would be useful. (yup this is the DM just playing to a dwarf's inner thoughts.)

[Rex]

Egon

"The Dwarven plate looks best, I will carry that."

[shaidar]

Weston

"Unfortunately I am out of spells so cannot ask Azuth's favour to change a spell. If we cannot carry it all then I logic dictates we leave some of the shields behind"

Summary Wizard's Basement

The group finally done searching the entirety of the wizard's basement comes up with prisoners and loot as well as everything the host has asked for. You all climb the ladder and emerge through a secret trap door in the butler's pantry. Kaerin is present with several chain mail-clad fighters, and a tall, imposing, man in his 60's who has gray-white hair and pale blue eyes. Kaerin introduces him as Baron Sherlane. You all immediately note that Kaerin now has two arms and is wearing plate mail. There is blood on the floor, and in the room beyond two men are carrying a coffin out. Kaerin looks grim and tells the you that the bandits you have just faced were almost certainly let in by the butler, since he has now disappeared. Kaerin has no idea what they were up to. They did, however, quietly kill three of his servants. "I am glad that you captured them now they will face justice for their crimes." Kaerin will want to know exactly who they are and what they have been doing. He will not allow any of the thieves to get away with what they have done. He sends one of the chain mail fighters go fetch the constable.

Kaerin is delighted by the sword and tiara. "I am glad you were so successful in locating both items I asked you to locate." He pays the you the agreed reward in platinum pieces. He then excuses himself, saying "I'm sorry but I have to attend to the house there are my deceased staff I need to see tended to properly." Baron Sherlane gives him a nod at this point. "Let's get you folks cleaned up a bit, is anyone injured?" the Baron asks.

[Rex]

Egon

"Your welcome." Egon makes sure the prisoners are taken care of. "Lets get some food and rest."

[alver]

Urtesi gives up the sword with some hesitation. But there is no evidence that Kaerin is lying about anything. There was no sign of the beetle he supposedly fought in the basement, but then he could have had it thrown out. A very high level priest can fix the arm. And certainly the butler could have been a bad guy and the people in underpants his hired assassins.

Tired from the long basement dive, he says "I am just glad to be out of there," and joins with the rest of the party.

Trist

Trist says,”I can cast detect magic on all the stuff once I rest and swap a spell.”

[Rex]

Egon

"Excellent, you get what rest you need Trist and I will haul stuff to one location for you to check later."

[RiverGreenForest]

Xlore

The High Elf looks around from the rest of his companions to Kaerin and his party. Xlore let out a sigh of relief and felt like he could relax a little. Looking at his companions the elf asks "So what shall we do now? It seems our task is complete."

[GreyWolfVT]

Baron Sherlane speaks up "Well I may have something else for you, but I must ask did you find any books down there? I was hoping the late Kavorquian's journal was down there. By chance did you find anything like that?" the baron inquires.

[Cwreando]

Trist

Trist takes time to meditate and swap a spell to get detect magic memorized so she can cast it on all their loot.

[Rex]

Did we find his journal?

Therick says, "There were several books in the basement. Perhaps one of them is the one you seek."
Before we do anything else I need to memorize my spells and rest.

[RiverGreenForest]

Xlore

"Let's rest for now and go back to the basement to search for the books. I don't think there would be any problems when we return." said Xlore

[GreyWolfVT]

that is an apt assumption, being that all guardians were defeated below
