Travel Summary
First they did an experiment with the shield, its case, and its effects. They figured out that cracking the case still results in a full 360 degree pull from the shield at a distance of about 40 feet.
"So we don't have a lance, we just have a bomb." - Jehan
Sidebar: Accurate.
They also deduced that the shield doesn't seem to affect things through the thick stone walls when they opened it in the stairwell outside of the library and only ripped off the door and some nails immediately past the door. The shield of course ate all the metal.
While they were hanging around waiting Barthelm started to doodle on the portrait, drawing a comically large moustache (like a Dalí) and a Big Ole Penis. They dubbed it "dickstache" and told me that's what I needed to name this summary. Here we are!
Viggo quickly opened the shield case in front of the 3 o'clock door, ripped the metal out of it and ripped a bunch of nails out of the shelves behind him. Unfortunately he was between the nails and the shield and he took some damage as they flew into his back.
"Can we make a deal that if shit goes down and people start dropping, we don't leave without Thom?"
They explored through the door into what looked like a kitchen. There was a sink with running faucet, eating area, crates full of rotten food, and a small door in the corner that led into what looked like a squat toilet. The ratfolk (Freddard and Edward) saw the running water in the toilet hole, realized it was large enough to fit in, and scurried off exploring. Moving the food crates on the other side revealed another stop in the dumbwaiter from upstairs.
Instead of a back wall, a large heavy curtain hung from rings in the ceiling. The party sent the ratfolk through first and, when they didn't hear immediate murder sounds, went thru themselves.
They found a living space, complete with work desk, bookshelves, and reasonably comfortable bed. Investigating the bed revealed some kind of magic circle underneath. Tossing the desk uncovered details of a teleportation ritual that could be performed from inside the circle (max two people) with unknown destination.
Jehan was especially interested in the bookshelf, searching for information on Ghallia-That-Fell, and came away with the following:
Princely Lineages of Ghallia
Ghallic Geography: An Overview
Deep Places, and How to Find Them
They also scrounged up two potions from the desk:
Potion 1: Dark purple, smelled metallic
Potion 2: Milky yellow, Claus took a sip and had the most vivid memory of this delightful herbal soup he'd eaten one time
Sidebar: There may have been more here, but this is all that's left. I stopped writing session summaries with this one. Too much time for not enough payoff.
