The party gathered once more and struck out across the wilds in a return to Modnar’s Cellar. The weather remained outcast but no rains came. Through the forest all was quiet and their reached their destination without any interruption.

The toppled walls and moss covered flagstones sat in the centre of the clearing.

Day 22. Time: 9:00am. Weather: Cloudy and dry. Vision: Daylight. Movement 20’

Wyndham lifts open the trapdoor then lights a torch before starting the climb down.

"Watch your step, brother," Derry calls out after Wydham to remind him of that slick one. He, too, joins the descent.

"We going to Harry's lounge?" he asks. He had also asked about their return trip before they left and if told about the skeletons, he'll ask why they weren't destroyed?

Marching Order: Wyndham -- Derry -- Preston -- Kara -- Devin

"Nobody wanted to take the chance that an attack would negate their fear. Preston was already in a state of being barely able to walk, much less contribute to any fight. It also would have taken time, and far better to get the head and depart than chance something else arriving. Plus, they wandered in, so perhaps they wandered out since we have been gone. Hopefully the silver remains."

Carefully down the stairs- we already know they are slick.

Unless someone else hired Preston (12gp per day), he is not here.

Devin lit a torch of his own and used his free hand to steady himself on the descent.

"I can try to drive them back again if they're still there," Devin said of the skeletons, "but if you attack them, they'll fight back."

Careful of the slippery step everyone safely made their way into Modnar’s Cellar. The torchlight faded into darkness in all four directions as the hallways stretched out into darkness.

OOC Derry engages the services of one Ms. Eadwynn Haute again. He also buys three hand axes and a large sack. Last of the retro adjustments!

Preston is not present.

Also, it is up to Wyndham, but since he has light armor and few hit points, now that we are down the stairs, perhaps he and Eadwynn should change places (or at least travel side-by-side, since she has heavier armor, no?

Fixed.

ooc - Light armor and few hitpoints, yes, but lots of oil!

The hallways smelt of faintly of both chemicals and mildew. The party headed north then east. Without interruption they reached again the door to the rats nest.

"Let me be by the door when it's opened," Devin said.  "If the skeletons are still there, I'll drive them back again."

He gripped his symbol tightly and prepared to drive them back the moment he saw them.

Wyndham steps back to let the man of faith have his space.

Prepared for what may lie behind the door Devin and Eadwynn opened the door to reveal of the decaying remains of the rats nests. Amongst the detritus the three skeletons remained. Hundreds of silver pieces were scattered on the flagstones.

OOC The party have a surprise round to act before the skeletons.

Devin immediately intones a prayer to repel the skeletons in the name of Auril.
