Journal - Session 15 - Dead Quiet

General Summary

The 18th of Serrum, 1390 of the Storm Era, The Forgotten Tower Deep in the Grimwood
Following the battle, the party was unable to see much around the room but they could see that there were some doors in the distance and a staircase at the rear of the room. Moloch lit a torch and illuminated the double door to the right of the room. The door is locked so Vex attempts to pick the lock. Moloch set up a chair and sat down until the party moved to the next room. Vex was successful in picking the lock.
Ghesh entered the newly exposed hallway and saw that it dead ended to one end but the other end went onward. Moloch entered the room and was able to see further with his darkvision. On the ground a ways ahead there were the remains of some humans that were skeletonized. Ghesh told Dink to follow at a distance. The remainder of the party remained in the Foyer.
Ghesh and Moloch arrive at a door at the end of the hall and the hall wrapped around to the left. Ghesh asked Dink to get the remainder of the party and they came to the door. When the party catches up with Ghesh he opens the small door to the right.

The 19th of Serrum, 1390 of the Storm Era, The Forgotten Tower Deep in the Grimwood
The party wakes up in the morning, everyone goes about their morning routines. Dink observes that the storm appears to be heading east, so the party decides to continue heading west toward the road. The party successfully navigates west. After a few hours the party finds the road through the Grimwood and notices that the storm seems to have been heading their way now. Vex scouts ahead about half a mile and finds that the road is clear. He returns to the party and lets them know what he saw.

The party continued until they reached Oxpoint where they met two guards Osmand and Frankie. They mentioned that the Stormwatch all pulled out a few days before and that there was talk of strange goings on. They pointed the party to a local tavern called Patty’s where they recommended the corned beef. The party continues until they find Patty’s and they enter the establishment. Inside they find a portly man with red cheeks and a white cap on his head, he tells them that there are enough rooms for the party at 5 silver per room. He hands them keys for rooms 7, 3, and 4. The party takes their personal effects and puts them in their rooms, and then they find a table in the tavern for six and sit down. The bar wench comes by and for 4 silver pieces (paid for by Vex) she brings a large corned beef brisket, a bowl of beans and a loaf of cornbread. She also breaks a pitcher of Breakers and the party sits down to enjoy a long earned meal.
