"More fun than a crate of Gnomes!"
General Summary
The red eyes watch from the dark.
Rat? No. Something else.
But what?
It runs to keep it's secrets.
As soon as the GM noticed they were getting increasingly encumbered, Coil and especially Gnoll took some time for inventory management! Gnoll cast Mend on her recently acquired Masterwork Backpack, restoring it to full usefulness. Some food was taken, some traded, and some things were dropped on the ground, discarded to the next scavengers adventurers to come along. As they were leaving the sleeping carriage, they noticed they were being watched. This could have been their first combat in this new place, but the "rat" didn't want to play and scampered away into the darkness.
The party passed through two completely uninteresting cars, or perhaps they just didn't find anything interesting. It's really hard to say sometimes, isn't it?
Luckily, the next car was full of bags, crates, and barrels, like the most unorganized home decor shop ever, except that the containers are already full of stuff. Some of the contents were more interesting than others, including raw materials from which Gnoll fashioned a pair of stylish mink and silk rope foot wraps for Coin. Coin and Gnoll each took a gold ingot, which hopefully won't turn out to be simply goldbricking. Coin also picked up an odd crystal cylinder. I wonder what that's all about?
After walking around on top of it while carrying a lit torch, the party found no easy way into what was undoubtedly a perfectly safe tank full of approximately a quarter million gallons of an unknown liquid. (What's the Dwarven word for flammable?)
Moving along to the last carriage in this cluster, the party performed some minor breaking and entering, making a lot of noise in the process. Underground tunnels like this sure do echo nicely when you're banging on a padlock with a hammer, don't they? Once the offending lock had been dealt with, they entered the car and found themselves in a mobile trauma ward of some sort. Bravely poking around without the least bit of concern about why such a place would be locked from the outside, Gnoll in particular took a special interest in whatever effluvium was about and showed little hesitation in investigating the body on the floor. Once it was determined the body was, as far as could be determined, dead, she immediately set about going through his clothes looking for loose change, of which there was none.
Finding the other door of the car locked from the outside, our protagonist trudged back to the first car to hole up in the nicest bedroom for the evening. Here's wishing them a good rest and a completely lack of assault by things that look like black rats with glowing red eyes.
Pleasant Dreams!
