[Private to GM: Is there a reason to post PM's? ] Intetesting a well which is accessible via a locked door. Masters would anybof you chanced upon this type of well in your expeditions?

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 351):

"I saw something like this, a gateway to a lower level. It has the high lip to prevent flooding."

In reply to Dolpho Mercer (msg # 352):

Thank you Master Dolpho for sharing that and picking the lock. Judging by the amount of flooding we've encountered so far I'd say that's quite an effective means of preventing further flooding. Tempted as he is to explore below Broderick decides mapping this level takes precedence. When the area has been mapped they continuing along the  main passage they had been mapping.

"No problem boss, it's  what you hired me for."

In reply to Dolpho Mercer (msg # 355):

Broderick smiled contently as the group moved along the passageway. He wondered how large and deep this complex actually was.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 356):

Ahead is a four way intersection.  There are signs of counterbracing here where there are deep cracks in floor, ceiling  and wall. Unlike the wet tunnel, the braces are not wood, but peculiar shiny black stone that appears to be seamless.

Broderick pauses at the junction considers the directions then takes the left branch with a confident This way heads along it beside Smasher.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 358):

The passage continues on, and gradually the tilework becomes more intact,
with a zigzag frieze in red and white mosaic.  Gradually, you come to another gate, this one made of a glossy dark bronze like metal, and set
Into more of that shiny black stone.  Faint runes are etched into the gate, and no keyhole is visible.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 359):

Noting the improvement in the area Broderick suspects this is a more frequently used thus maintained location. This looks interesting Master Ludlow would you have an inkling what the runes would be or perhaps even say

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 360):

"It appears to be a species of enchantment and protective magic,
to be particular, a permanent version of the Magelock spell."

In reply to Ludlow the Munificent (msg # 361):

Broderick nods Thank you Master Ludlow, a magical lock. this isn't worth the risk to attempt to circumvent He or they could always do so later if the incentive were right. Does the layout of the tiles remind anyone of any specific guild or body. This would be useful to know.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 362):

The tilework is quite ancient; the design might be as old as the time of the Romans.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 363):

This grate marked the limit of this passage. After the map had amended Broderic lead the group back the way they came, then continued along the unexplored passage.

Turdging along in a way only he could Smasher lheads down the passage as directed.

In reply to Smasher (msg # 365):

Quite a distance dowm the right hand fork, you see faint torchlight

In reply to Narrator (msg # 366):

Cautiously make our way in that direction. Mistress Phylicity could you glide ahead a little and see if the source of that light appears to be hostile.

Keeping to the shadows and flying high Phylicity moved forward to assess the source of the torchlight. [Private to GM: Moving close enough to see who/what is there, while remaining out of the light]

In reply to Phylicity Pfaffingerh (msg # 368):

This corridor has very uneven flooring, with counterbracing of that
strange black stone in the areas where the cracking in the walls and
ceiling are 5he worst. Ahead is a bronze faced door. The door has a
small peephole sized door, and to either side of the gate is a torch
in a holder.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 369):

Returning to the group Phylicity described the doorway and speculated on its possibility.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 374):
Pointing in the the direction they haven't travelled. After this area's been added to the map We'll head in that direction.
Ooc could I get an updated map?

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 375):

After reviewing myy maps, i was holding it with the wrong facing. I will adjust the directions.  Never mind the guild description; that is in the reverse direction...  this is the revised map. The guild is not immediately near... the area down that corridor is an area with many repairs and counterbraces.

The guild, if your recollection of twists and turns ought be in the lower right of the map. The distance between the corridor near the well door (which you did not enter) should lead that way. The corridor between the well and the wfour way intersection is almost 200 yards long.

Continue along the passage heading left (north), if they come to a crossroads continue straight through, if they find a T or other type of intersection take the left branch.

Left on that map is North. West leads to the zig zag  gate, east to a gate eith torches in a run down area.which cominued on at a slope.

Left leads, presumably toward the docks.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 378):

ooc From his knowledge of the streets above approx how far would it be from where they are to the Docks?[Private to GM: rolled 14 vs Area Knowledge 15]
