As the party rested at Fourtower Bridge for a day the weather turned wet and windy. The rain was not heavy but the winds were strong and whistled as they blew between the towers.

The adventurers gathered as others stayed safely warm and dry in their homes.

OOC Garrick and Devin are now recovered. Eglantine is still slightly wounded. Eadwynn and Preston are unhurt. Let us know who is going and who is staying at home.

Day 28. Time: 6:00am. Weather: Wet and windy. Vision: Cloudy. Movement: 20’

Wyndham offers Gael 60gp to help offset expenses.

Off to the spa and then to try and unlock that door a little to its west.

Wyndham enquires about the cost of a towel.
/ooc  - Does W. have any inkling of what makes the amazing boots so amazing?

The rain did not let up all the way to Modnar’s cellar. Everyone was wet, besides Wyndham’s feet which stayed dry in his new very fine boots. The boots were well made, looked good and kept his feet dry, there didn’t seemed to be anything else a boot should do.

The road and forest were quiet and they reached the toppled wall and moss covered flagstone of Modnar’s cellar without any encounters.

Sodden, Derry's relieved to finally reach the entrance to the cellar. Mindful of the slippery steps, he descends into the cellar and heads north with the others towards the quicksilver spa (west of Harry's antechamber).

Wyndham chortles in anticipation of his trip to the sauna. In the back of his mind, however, he can't ignore the nagging feeling that something will go terribly wrong before he gets there.

Devin was thoroughly soaked through by the time they'd reached the tower ruins.  It was not an auspicious beginning.  With wet boots, he was especially cautious on the slick stairs.

The rusty trapdoor opened to reveal the musty, dank cellar. With wet boots the slippery steps downward were tricky but with caution and taking their time everyone made their way to the cellar safely. The smell of long forgotten chemicals was faint amongst the stink of mildew.

The hallways north and then east were empty besides cobwebs and pools of stagnant water. The door to the north opened. The smell in the room was of urine and rot. Rats nests lined the walls and dropping were scattered around the room.

Light
Aylmer: Torch (2 turns)
Wyndham: Torch (2 turns)

<Updated>
Wyndham lights a torch and hands it to Bosley.
"Hey Bos, how about waving this at the rats?"
Wyndham lights two more torches for Derry and Devin.
"Let's see if we can clear out these rats!. Gael? Could you please keep an eye at our back?"

Torches lit and brandished, we'll advance into and out of the room, trying to ward off any rats should they emerge from their nests or other hiding places.
