Em reaches out towads the elvish blade, though stops, thinking better of it. "Beautiful craftsmanship," he mutters. He reaches towards one of the books instead, deciding on the unmarked leather one, flipping through the pages.

"Anything down the hole?"

Despite it's bulky size, not a lot's been recorded. The book appears to be a catalog, with a description of items being recorded, the time of their discovery, and when they left the prison, as well as an estimation on price. The last few entry aren't fully filled out.

Day 28

Retrieved: Four gold bars, worth about fifty gold each.

Retrieved: Antique Elvish Blade, imbued with an amethyst, dates back to Moone Elf Kingdom. Checked for curses, none found.

Retrieved: Stone Tablet, image of a jackal carved onto it, followed by untranslatable script IMPORTANT!!!

Retrieved: Wooden Chest, filled with coins and various jewels. Shipped, shortly afterwards. Taken with Captain James Gault Day 28 to show Commodore Hector Comstock.

NOTE: Leave the Tablet ready to be hoisted tomorrow morning when the commodore arrives. We'll have men here before he arrives to ensure it's ready to be brought up. I'd prefer to impress him with some slight theatrical elements. -Captain J.G.

[Emjajoas]

"Expect company," Em says to the party, looking at the tablet. He gestures to it. "Someone take a look at that, see if you can figure out what's important."

He then picks up the next book, rifling through it.

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald takes a closer took at the tablet.

[Kintobor]

Grimwald takes a closer took at the tablet.

Grimwald would look at the tablet... if there was one. Perhaps the party should look back at the clues they were given...

He then picks up the next book, rifling through it.

Looking through it's pages, Em notices various texts, all very old. Most of it is too worn to read, but the last four pages is what intrigues him. The first two are legible, the page to the left containing text, the one to his right containing an illustration of a golden eagle spreading its wings over a horde demons below it, rays of light casting them away.

And thus the evil was sealed as the Wizard Priests of Ennoc cast the demons into the sea, the Mad King destroyed with it. The cities were plundered, yet little was taken due to the dark and vile nature of the relics. Ennoc's holy light cast down the enemies, as they drowned into the sea, leaving little to nothing of the kingdom. Few of the Moon Elves survived, yet the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few.The ideal of order and justice were championed once again, as evil was purged from the land.

The third and fourth pages are less legible. The words are heavily faded, but the image is still intact. Three paladins in golden armor kneel before an eagle, each one carrying a tablet of some sort. The only lines you can read is the last two.

And so Ennoc gave them their blessing as they went their separate ways, each one sworn to protect their key until the end of days, when their next of kin would protect it. The cycle continues...

[Emjajoas]

"Key?"

Em puts down the book. "Should we take this stuff and head out? I have a bad feeling about this..."

[Jedi master Brick]

"Perhaps the tablet is attached to the crane. We should hoist it up and take it with us, it is most certainly very important."

[Kintobor]

"I think that sounds like a plan. I'll hoist it up while-

Just as Costello was talking, a two voices rang through the prison.

"Where is the lieutenant, have you seen him?"

"No, sir, he wasn't at the door to meet us."

"Very well, inspect the sewers, I'll take my group and check the mess hall. When your done, meet back up with me."

"We need a plan, now! Costello, you stick on the crane and get that crane up! I'll join you lot to assist in defending Costello as he hoists it up. I may not be the most helpful, but I can still do some damage. If you need to buff yourself or heal, do so now! This is going to get a little hectic..."

[Endgame]

"I'm ready to rumble."

[Jedi master Brick]

"I am ready, prepare for battle."

[Emjajoas]

Em switfly draws his bow. "Ready," he states simply.

[LordoftheNoobs]

"R-ready..."

[Kintobor]

As the party readies themselves, Costello beginning to hoist the tablet up, the party can hear footsteps rushing to door.

"Sir, the protection spell?"

"Walk forward!"

...

"Sir... it's gone!"

"Bust the door down! The tablet could have been stolen!"

The doors swing open as a group of armed guards begin to march towards the party. The lieutenant calls the party out.

"What do we have here? A jail break, and theft of private property? We do not tolerate thieves and vagabonds. Guards, dispel these men from this prison at once!"

Prepare for battle!

"And we do not tolerate kidnap or murder"

Edited September 9, 2013 by Jedi master Brick

[Endgame]

"We have company!"

I whip out my bow, crining as the mummy rot once again takes hold. I aim, struggling to keep my arrow steady....

"Damn infection..." I mutter. "Elgar, you're a druid. Any idea where you could find a sunshine shimmer?"

I attack the Lietunant and Sword B, back.

[Kintobor]

"And we do not tolerate kidnap or murder"

"It's a shame you see things that way, although I highly doubt your opinion matters, seeing as you are a pagan worshiper!"

>Sorrow vs. Lieutenant- Damage Aim (27x2-7=47x4=188 Damage)

>Elgar vs. Crossbowman B- Damage (18-6=12 Damage)

>Grimwald vs. Crossbowman A-Damage (18-3=15 damage)

>Em vs. Sword A- Crit. (7x2+14=28-5=23 damage)

Free Hits

Swordsman C- Sorrow (18/2-6=3 Damage)

Crossbowman C- Elgar (18-6=12 Damage)

A barrage of arrows fly across the room, as the opposing sides clash. Elgar takes two hits from crossbow bolts, while Grimwald and Sorrow take one. Sorrow manages to fire an arrow at the lieutenant, and one right through the neck of a swordsman, who drops dead immediately. Em takes aim at a charging swordsman, hitting him in the knee, sending him back. Connor manages to fire an electric bolt at the lieutenant, giving him a good jolt.

"This may take a while, there's definitely something on this!"

"Men, keep at it! Don't damage the crane!"

Round Two of the Mess Hall Battle!!!

>Sorrow vs. Sword C- Aim Damage (27x4=108 Damage)

>Elgar- Heals Self (Less Nurture: +24 health)

>Connor vs. Crossbowman C- Special (Em: 18-2=16 Damage. Connor and Grimwald KO!)

>Grimwald Vs. Crossbowman A- Miss

The battle continues as Sorrow attempts to assassinate some of the guards. Much to his misfortune, the guards seemed more competent than they first appeared to be, dodging his attacks. He manages to hit another swordsman, dealing a large chunk of damage. Elgar takes the turn to heal himself, while Em deals minimal damage to the opposition. Connor attempts to attack another Crossbowman, only to be hit by a bolt, knocking him out. The marksman takes this time to hit Em and Grimwald, the gnome knocked out by the bolt as well. The party would have to rethink their strategy. The enemy closes in...

"Surround them, men! Now's our chance!!"

Grimwald will either attack Swordsman C or heal Em (if he is revived), depending on what his teammates think.
