is now 50 days into the adventure (since setting off in the Belle Venture), and
It is now: 6:30 am on September 12th
(Day 47 on the Isle of Dread). It’s the next morning after having invaded the palace of the
Lizard King. They decide to have a look in the temple section of the Forbidden
city. They arrive at a building where two gnoll guards are standing by
a double door at it’s center on it’s west side. Lo Shan, moves to a double door
on the north west side of the building and checks to see if they open and they
do. He peeks inside to see several bugbears, some of whom are resting on straw
mats. But it does not go unnoticed! Lo Shan whispers off to the side, “Want to kill some bugbears?!”
as a bugbears hollers, “Hey! You there, if you’re begging for food get lost!”
Lo Shan promptly closes the door an moves south along the west side east side
of the building to see two more gnoll guards at it’s center. Lo Shan says, “Why are you guarding this place?” Gnoll guard says, “If you wish to visit this part of Thracia,
you must have a special pass to proceed inside.” Lo Shan says, “Where do we get the special pass from?” Camlin
repeats the question. Gnoll guard says, “I am not at liberty to tell you. But you need
it if you wish to visit the lower part of the city.” The adventurers move along to the other side to try the other
Gnoll guards. Lo Shan says, “May we go inside?” Gnoll guard says, “Let me see you pass, then you may proceed.” Lo Shan says, “Where do we get a pass from?” Gnoll guard says, “I cannot tell you.” So now the adventurers move to the south end of the building
where there are 2 bugbear guards at one of the south doors. Lo Shan again asks to go inside and again he is informed that a
pass to visit the lower part of Thracia is needed. The adventurers move on down
the main avenue going west, past the Temple of Set and to a building just south
west of it. They move around to a set of double doors on the west side of
the building, which is unlocked and Lo peeks inside to see a long hallway with
a spiral staircase that goes up, 70 ft down the hall, in the center of the
building. Lo Shan attempts to listen at
one of two doors on the north wall (the west one), rolling a 22% needing
≤ 35%, he did not hear anything. The door is locked so Lo attempts to pick it
open rolling a 30% needing ≤ 62%, he was successful and opens to peek inside. Lo Shan sees a lone Yuan-Ti pureblood inside a fancy apartment,
whom does not notice Lo is peeking inside. Lo quietly closes the door.
Whispering he informs the party that they have found Yuan-Ti homes. Lo Shan moves to the south door opposite the one he just opened
and attempts to unlock it rolling a 38% needing ≤ 62% he was successful! Lo, peeks inside another fancy apartment, however this time he
is noticed! Yuan Ti Pureblood says, “Hey now! I wasn’t expecting any
visitors! You could knock as a courtesy you know!” Lo shan whispers, “Guess we go Robbing the rich, everyone
ready?” To the YT he says, “We are looking for one named Loric, sorry to bother
you.” YT PB says, “Now, I thought I had the door locked, but I guess
not? What do you want with me?! I know no one by that name here or in the city,
for that matter!” Lo Shan whispers to Garm, “Lone Yuan-Ti in nice homes, now’s our
chance you think?”, Garm Shrugs, says, “I will follow your lead.” YT PB says, “Unless you have some sort of business offer I ask
you to leave me be! Otherwise, be gone fools!” Lo Shan says, “A business offer, yes. Give us your money and
valuables, and we’ll let you live.” At that moment, the front of the doorway goes completely dark,
because the Yaun-Ti PB casted a darkness spell in the area! Lo Shan says, “Hey Xili, come and cast that fireball.” Garm whispers harshly, “Why did you offer him his life? If we
are here to kill these evil doers, there can be no bargaining.” YT PB hollers, “Now be gone! Or I will alert the others!” Xilicien casts the Dispel Magic spell in the area of Darkness in
front of the doorway and the darkness dissipates.
Yuan-Ti PB says, “What the fuck?! So I see I am not dealing with
simpletons here!”. The door behind the party opens (the one Lo first peeked
inside of). The YT PB says, “What is
going on here and who are you people?!”
