Greyhawk 16: Impaled and Confused
General Summary
From the diary of Whipporwhillow Wysterwind Whompinwood
We (Findere, Keric, Miles, and myself) descended from the secret entrance in the Castle's gatehouse into what we are now calling the Storerooms. Our pursuit was to continue exploring the stony halls. Almost immediately upon exploring a dead-end hall, Keric and I were suddenly and quite rudely impaled upon a swinging trap. I was lucky enough to be paired up with someone much larger and more sturdily armored than myself, otherwise that may have been the end for me. Miles and Keric quickly pulled open the trap and we were freed to heal ourselves.
Moving on much more cautiously, Findere discovered several other traps, mostly pits, but also an arrow trap he was particularly interested in. We continued on through the Storeroom halls, finding many of them to appear to be dead ends. However, we eventually came to one that ended in a door.
We opened the door and were quite surprised to find 3 more doors in a smallish, square room. We opened one of these and discovered another room very much the same as the last. To make a long, befuddlesome story short, we passed through over 20 of these rooms, fighting several giant rats closed into some of the rooms, eventually finding 3 passageways leading out.
We explored one passageway, Findere found two more pit traps, and we decided it was time we left.
On the way out, we were surprised by a trio of... rough-looking men, the leader introducing himself as Captain ?Stannish?. He claimed to have a base of operations within the Castle. He too-friendily asked to possibly collaborate in the future. I'm pretty sure I don't trust the man.
We returned to the Chateau to rest and recover, no goods of notable worth to our names.
