Below the Guild

Underneath the guild and city....

Below the guild are several levels including the arena, the three challenge
Halls, the offices of the dwarves, barracks, undead quartes and an entire
Kobold village. At several points, the undercroft connects to the undercity
and a new area, currently being reinforced by Belgar the dwarf and a team of
kobold laborers leads into the unregulated undercity of Little Shevnia.

Re: Below the Guild

Mythos, along with his recent hirelings, Strong Clair, a laborer, Renolan the torchbearer, and Kasmir Al Vasari, a letter-writer and cartographer, are all in the central hall of the guild. When he finishes explaining the job, they
 show a little reluctance.

Re: Below the Guild

Huey Thumper enters the Guild Hall. "Hi, Aemon. How's tricks?" he offers as his usual greeting to the gatekeeper. He habitually thumbs Beard as he has only recently reached the point where he's not required to peacebond.

The half-ogre enters the central hall, where he apparently just missed most of Mythos's briefing. He takes a seat on his special reinforced chair.

[Private to Narrator: My inventory lists 3 silver pennies for $12. Should that be $60? (bringing me to a grand total of $61)]

Re: Below the Guild

"Very well, I am capable of providing enough wages for you to last a week if the need, and your skills, be. Lets us make sure we have what we need for our venture, I expect to be down there for at least 1 day before venturing back, so provisions to last 3 days would be safe. As well as rope, grapnels, spikes, sacks, pickaxes, etc. I have on me all the tools I ever need for my job. I think at least 2 sacks that are reinforced and another for the more delicate items we might find, and about 40 yards of rope each. another grapnel, three or four extra canteens. One hatchet and pickaxe as mentioned. Oh, and a few empty vials and bottles, never know when they may be needed."

Mythos catches his breath "Once we get those items and anything else you all might need we can be off, but take note, besides what I listed anything else might have to come out of your pockets, I'm not made of coins. Its why we are going out in the first place!"  Mythos giggles.



OOC: so I need:

1 grapnel
8 spikes
2 large sacks
1 multi pocketed pack
1 pickaxe
1 hatchet
4 canteens for water
4 empty vials
4 empty bottles
4 10 yards 3/8" rope

The corridor continues through a couple of intersections. Toward your left is
 the torchlight of a guild guardpost, with a porticullis blocking an
entrance to the undercity.
Mythos leads you away to the right, where you can see more cracks in the walls than in other sections. The walls are made of dressed limestone, with
occasional courses of granite.
  Ahead there is a bustle of tools clanging on stone, and the voice of
a dwarf and the chittering of several kobolds.

The artificer approaches the construction site and looks over the kobolds'
handiwork.
The corridor has a breach, no doubt caused by whatever had destabilized the
Walls and ceilings of this area. Within the breach, a pile of large stones
connects the flooring of the corridor with that of another corridor some
twenty feet away. The space between is a raw wet cavern, with a small pool
at one end. The kobolds are laying flatter rocks onto their pile, which is
effectively a bridge between the two sections of propper construction.

Accross the way, you can just see an iron gate.

"I'm not primarily a spell caster, anyway, I was trained in it because Master Albreth saw that I had the ability (I was in training for unarmed fighting at the time).  For the most part, I just kick, punch, grapple, and throw people (and critters, when I must), with these shuriken for distance.

The grate, made of four smaller ones, leads to a shallow

 the left. It shows signs of one of the grates having been
 out of place recently.

Up the slope ahead, there is a body lying next to the right hsnd wall, where a five foot wide opening about a yard off
 the ground opens into an airshaft. There is a breeze blowing
out of it, but there is still a stench of rot from up the

The block and tackle rig is suspended from the domed ceiling
of the shaft, about eight feet up.

The area below the grates is about a foot deep by a yard
wide, enough for a small claustrophilic humanoid to crawl
through, but really scaled for rats and other verm7n, like the smaller scavenger worms.
The orridor you are in continues to slope upward to an intersection (straight/right) and deadends at a massive
porticullis.

There is no room with a bronze grating. The first T intersection, running north-south with a right handed cross
corridor, has a set of metal gates covering a drain in the
 floor. The floor of each of the three corridors slope down
toward it.

The corridor south is the one you came from, with the dead slorn (burnt) and leads back to the guild.

The corridor north leads past the looted body by the shaftway.


The right hand corridor has a door on one sidewall.

Once more drawing on his chi, Ardenas aims a determined Karate punch through the scaly creature's eye, hoping to hit the brain and end this nonsense -- but the creature chooses that exact moment to toss its head (probably trying to unlock its jaws) and the clean miss leaves Ardenas balanced on one toe for a moment.

Ardenas, remembering the metal on metal sounds of a few seconds ago, sneaks a glance back down the hall to make sure nothing is sneaking up on the cartographer, porter, and torchbearer, then steps over between fore- and mid-legs, draws another quarrel, and repeats the words and gesture he used earlier -- taking advantage of the creature's inactivity to take determined aim at the the vitals (heart and lungs pretty well have to be in that area).

Re: Below the Guild

Ardenas pauses just long enough to grab up his dropped backpack, then stops beside the door to be sure everyone is at least into the stair before slipping inside and closing the door.  Once the door is closed, he'll spend a moment to check if there's a way to secure it beyond the regular latch.

Ardenas concludes that the door normally keeps these things out and settles for closing and latching it, then proceeds up the stairs.

You make your way back upstairs and head through the rough area to the gate, where a kobold is sitting with he feet up,
 looking through a bunch of bound woodcuts of scantily clad
 goblin females.

Ardenas smiles and shows his Guild ID as he passes the kobold.
