Chapter 8 - Into the Swamp

[shaidar]

Weston

Weston is happy to get moving with the others.

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

I guess that means no one objects me releasing the lizard man? As long as he goes outside and not inside?

[gurusql]

Del

I am not willing to fight over it, but I think it is the wrong choice.

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

Fair enough. I am making the call simply for the sake of expediency.

Tellurion drags the lizard man toward the exit the ogre took (I assume it is the same we used to come in), then points to his knife, to the lizard man ropes, and to the exit - "I will cut you loose, and you will go THAT way"

We also make sure the rest of the group does not allow him to go into the tunnel we plan to follow.

Then Tellurion releases him.

[Rex]

Egon

Egon watches as the lizard man is released.

[GreyWolfVT]

Lizardman looks untrusting eyes dart to the exit passage and back at the one cutting him loose stops making noise and once freed darts out the exit passage.

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

Nodding, Tellurion waited a moment to make sure the lizardman is gone, then followed after the others - "Let's hope I do not regret that" - he mumbled to himself.

Del

Del will move forward with the group but will keep one eye on the rear.

[Rex]

Egon

Egon moves forward.

[GreyWolfVT]

Onward...we go following the long tunnel, that is about 10 feet wide and 10 feet high, extending due south. After you proceed about 50 feet you come to a wall. But feeling around you realize you are at the back end of a concealed door it takes a little bit of time but the folks skilled in such things manage to find a trigger to open the door it opens and you look into a large room is divided into six areas by bars of typical prison type. The bars are intact and firmly set into the solid rock walls, ceiling, and floor. The door opens into one of the cells in this room. One area, 5 feet by 20 feet in size, is lined with doors of the same style. It provides access between this room and another as well as to the cells in this room. The cells contain decayed straw, wooden benches, and bowls filled with the moldy remains of ancient meals. The large cell (C) is also equipped with seven sets of manacles anchored in the east wall. You enter into the jail through the secret door that is in the back of cell (E). One of the other cells you can see a skeleton (cell B). You try the door of the cell you have entered through and the door is locked but perhaps someone with skilled nimble fingers might be able to unlock it or someone with a spell.

Actions?

Map: you are entering where the red X is. Each cell door is located where the cell letter is on the map except for cell C.
