"Umm, I've only been here since yesterday..." Bellanotte leads the party down to the cellar. Several decaying husks of spiders litter the room. Along one wall a giant bookshelf stands brimming with tomes. Along another are large casks and a number of crates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atramor, do you remember Hybros talking about a secret passage or something? Unless... it's been sealed. I'm sure one way or another, those 'Veterans' are going to want to cover their tracks.

The Dragoon and the Assassin attempt to knock the book case over, however the furniture doesn't budge. Upon further investigation, Dyric notes a small keyhole in the back of the bookcase where the tomes have been removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Legonater Posted February 9, 2018 As Atramor fumbles with the lock, Dyric turns to his companions. Hey, Althior. I know it's been a bit, but I can't help but notice an uncharacteristic silence from your corner of things. Have you finally managed to cast off that stupid blue ghost that followed you around?

Althior's lockpicks work like a charm, the book case slides across the wall revealing a gaping dark tunnel leading downward. Tucked behind the furniture Atramor notes a canister of noxious gas strapped to a trip wire. The stench of decay and rot rise from the tunnel nearly overpowering the heroes.
