Gelli

Gelli will encourage one of the experts to check for traps.

I think the thieves are all NPCs

[BaltoBruiser]

I would run the theives and other NPC that started as PCs as retainers for now. Go ahead and roll for Mudlark or Jintu's check for traps check.

In spite of thorough and complete search, Jintu and Mudlark find no traps on the stone door or the mechanism.

There are about 4 hours of daylight left to complete the climb up the cliff face. Gelli estimates that the party probably has at least another 30 minutes to get to the next switchback and has no idea how long it will take to get to the summit from that switchback.

Niphon continues to keep an eye on the skies as the thieves explore the cliff wall.

Jintu pushes the "rock" on cliff face and a stone door slowly swings into a 10' wide natural passageway which appears to head to the northwest beyond the light provided from the outside approximately 10' into the passageway. Gelli can see recent tracks heading off into the darkness.

Athena lights a torch, "While, lets get moving."

Niphon nods and follows.

There are no noises or smells. The temperature is a little more than the frigid winter air with which the party had been dealing on the Long Stair and once the door to the cliff face is closed the party find themselves in complete darkness. Lighting a torch, the party moves into the 10' high tunnel which is also a rough 10' wide heading in a northwestly direction beyond the light (20' - please remove a torch from inventory or two if you are lighting two given the size of the party). The ground is rock with some sand and dust on it. There are tracks which leave the entry and head off into the darkness. On the walls, the party sees that others have left messages in various languages scrawled upon the walls.

If the party wants to spend a turn trying to decipher and read the graffiti, each character please roll a d20.

Sheet updated for torch. When this one is done burning she will have 5 left.

Athena finds in poorly written Archontean:
Gnath:
walking animals be too mighty. Me take boys home.
Ragnar

Anyone else?

Octavios tries to decipher the writing but it turns out he was looking at just old scratches on the rocks….

Octavios surprised even himself by finding an inscription in Archontean which he can read. It says:

Don’t trust the
beastmen. Their
‘mother’ is a witch!

Athena reads it aloud to the others.

Niphon

Niphon peers at the graffiti.

[BaltoBruiser]

Niphon finds instead of words a crudely and recently painted image of a black boar with an ibis in its mouth.

If still needed. It has been a rough week
