font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The party then go the closest secret door and opens it to find a hallway that leads to a fourway intersection. \u00a0Too bad Cloverdung is not around he always liked fourways, but I am not sure if would like to have been spied on. \u00a0The party sees another one of the eyes at the corner of the intersection. \u00a0Othello climbs on Mighty shoulders and \u00a0prys the eye off and no one seems to be able to catch it and it lands on the floor and shatters. \u00a0The east passageway ends and no one can find a secret door. \u00a0The west way has a secret door but the party can\u2019t figure out how to open it. \u00a0The south has a secret door and it opens up into a room that looked to have had some crates and barrels in it. \u00a0From looking at the voids in the dust. \u00a0But what is odd is there are no footprints. \u00a0Pete thinks there are spiders that came in and move the stuff. \u00a0Othello and Talin search the room and find a secret compartment that has a lever in it. \u00a0Talin reaches in and pulls the lever. \u00a0A trap door in the ceiling opens up and a ladder slides down into the room. \u00a0Othello climbs the ladder and goes a short distance down a passageway heading south above the room. \u00a0It leads to another secret trap door. \u00a0This one does not have a ladder, but opens up storage room that holds what looks to be a brewing equipment. \u00a0The party finds a couple of kegs of beer. \u00a0Talin discovers and inscription on a barrel that says \u201cDunain\u2019s Dew\u201d. \u00a0According to Talin this is a famous Dwarven beer that was lost long ago. \u00a0The party tries some and it is indeed the best beer they have every had. \u00a0Even Ager would be proud of this beer. \u00a0Mighty another few mugs full while the party searches the rest of the room. \u00a0Talin finds that one of the copper tubes sounds like it has something in it. \u00a0He cut the section off and find that there is a dragon skin parchment of what looks to be the recipe and a vial of yeast. \u00a0The party leaves the room and cleans up dust in the room so no one could tell there was a trap door. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">They head to the large North-South hallway and Othello goes to look for the secret door the wizard escaped through. \u00a0When Talin stubbles through it just north of where Othello thought it was. \u00a0Talin starts cursing that some idiot ruined this great Dwarven hallway by make a poorly crafted secret door and hallway that it lead to. \u00a0The party investigate this small octangular room that has eight pointed star in the floor made up of two squares. \u00a0Pete determines that the draconic script says something about point two and teleport. \u00a0He tries to activate it but has no luck. \u00a0At this point Talin and Othello start searching the east wall of the large hallway and head south. \u00a0The hallway ends in a rounded dome. \u00a0At the apex of the dome the party finds another eye. \u00a0This time Bone jumps up and grabs the eye and it breaks off its support. \u00a0He hands the eye to Othello and it is still active. \u00a0Othello holds it up at Talin. \u00a0Talin moons the eye and Pete cast dispel magic on the eye so the last thing it saw was Talin\u2019s butt. \u00a0Othello and Talin continue searching the hallway and start back up the west wall. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Othello finds a secret door and Talin opens it. \u00a0This one leads to a storage room full of boxes and crates. \u00a0Othello steps in and is almost hit by a large anvil that falls from the ceiling. \u00a0The party thinks they have hit it rich, until they find that all the crates are empty. \u00a0The party start clearing the room of boxes to confirm and throwing them out in the hallway. \u00a0Bone sets them on fire with his sword and Othello uses his large smokeless ring to capture all the smoke. \u00a0Once the room is clear Talin and Othello search and find a secret door. \u00a0Othello opens the door and two bolts shoot out. \u00a0Othello is able to dodge them but Talin is hit with one and the bolt had ignited so Talin is now on fire. \u00a0We are able to put the flames out and find a double crossbow was tied to a nice plush chair that has a print of a dragon on it. \u00a0Behind the chair is a rug. \u00a0Talin uses his axe to pull the rug and finds that it was hiding a pit that had make shift wooden spike at the bottom. \u00a0Othello searches the chair and finds a secret compartment in one of the legs but is disappointed that it was empty. Pete shocks everyone by kicking the chair into the pit. \u00a0Othello and Talin again search and find a secret door. \u00a0This one opens up to a room catty corner to the current room. \u00a0The party finds a old man that has taken refuge in the room. \u00a0Bone shows the old man his sheriff badge and convince him the we are there to clear it out for the owner and rescue any survivors. \u00a0The old man apparently has been there a week. \u00a0He was a quarry worker but had been kidnapped. \u00a0He had escaped and luckily found this place to hold up in. \u00a0He has kill a few for the inhabitants and collect some loot. \u00a0The party gives him some food and water and tells him once we clear the place out will be back for him. \u00a0Talin and Othello finish search the west wall of the large hallway back to the intersection. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Bone is bored and headed to the intersection to wait for the Dwarf and Gnome to make it to him. \u00a0As soon as the party is back together Bone and Pete see swirling of dust like invisible feet kicking up the dust in the hallway. \u00a0They are coming toward the party and pick up speed once they see the party. \u00a0Bone, Mighty, and Talin rush in to meet these invisible creatures. \u00a0Talin gets hit a couple of times and one of the blow must have hit a vital spot because Talin retreats back behind the cleric. \u00a0The party is doing it\u2019s best to take out these Invisible Stalkers. \u00a0Talin once healed drinks a potion that lets him move twice the distance and make extra actions. \u00a0Othello pulls out a bottle and pulls the stopper cork. \u00a0A liquid darkness starts pouring out of the bottle. \u00a0The party know these Invisible Stalkers are relatively large creatures and seeing the blackness swirl around where there feet are moving now can determine where these creatures are and this helps Mighty out tremendously as he crushes the one in front of him with his scythe. \u00a0Mighty moves around behind one and tries to start a game of catch with Pete using his scythe as a makeshift ball. \u00a0Luckly Bone, Talin, and Othello are able to dodge the scythe as Might slings it at Pete. \u00a0Pete was not ready for the scythe but after it lands on the floor after hitting him tosses it back to Mighty. \u00a0The party is able to finish off the Invisible Stalkers. \u00a0Talin is now happy as there was a nice \u201clevel up\u201d ding that occurred for him after the battle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">CoD = Sheriff Bone\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talin &#8211; Dwarf: Fighter (lvl 6) Othello \u2013 Gnome: \u00a0Thief (lvl 8) Bone \u2013 Hauman: Fighter (lvl 8) Pete \u2013 Dragonborn: \u201cReal\u201d Cleric (lvl 7) Mightychondria \u2013 Half-Orc: Fighter (lvl 7) &nbsp; Did the father of the \u2018Hot and Ready\u2019 twins find Cloverdung?
