So, we wish to do a detect magic on the sword, rings, amulet and the
loot in here? " Elmore "Did not find any mage books apparently unless they are
hidden somewhere... assuming those elves haven't acquired racial abilities that
don't need spell books. Did it look like these elves had a place where they
rested or studied? They might have created a hidden space somewhere. Secret
doors? "

Given Ahearn's directions, Holly, Carnodolana, and Ahearn will
each check for traps.What the party finds. Five of the crates contain five
bolts of silk each; most contain rotting foodstuffs. Like even bugbears
wouldn't eat it now. That level of rotting. The silk is intact and probably has
value. The silk is mostly green, with some black, orange, and dark blue. The 27
10' poles are neither trapped nor locked. The snare drum appears untrapped.
There are two amphorae; they appear to contain a modest red wine. The two small
wooden boxes (2x3x3) each have a simple brass padlock; one contains 3739
Stoddarian platinum pieces. The other 2040 silver of mixed variety. The most
interesting being about 50 gnomish silver pieces (plain flat rings). The wooden
box marked poisons has six vials of various liquids in them. The 12 casks of
gnomish porter and the medium-sized cask of tobacco have been identified. there
are two old wooded chests with copper (these remain from your first visit,
although neither is still full). The three large traveling cabinets contain
jewelry. Including what was on the white elvish thing, you will gather 46
pieces of jewelry. A few platinum pieces stand out. A platinum bracelet set
with a large ruby might be the most valuable item though Holly and Elmore
disagree on the value. One thinks about 1000 the other 10,000 gold. There is a
similar platinum necklace set with emeralds and a platinum pendant with three
diamonds. You already opened the coffer and the casket; so you are aware of
the gemstones and the gold. There are also two tightly rolled carpets along the
wall behind the traveling cabinets. What else do you wish to do? On Thu, Feb

us reduce the chances that
something slips by unnoticed. One of us is just as likely as any of the others
to miss something."
That being said, we should pick a target to check for traps, Holly examines it
first, if she finds nothing, then Card, and if she finds nothing then me. And
then we open it, and Holly can do the opening. But we need to start increasing
our odds of catching
these things but having each individual check apart from the others. If we
don't find anything we can assume we missed it, but missing it three times is
pretty unlikely. I am tired of getting blown up as much as I am tired of
getting paralyzed.

Hagar ushers those not needed out of the crypt before Holy starts looking for
and disarming any traps. No need for everyone to be in here. Then says, we
need to also check for secret doors, floor traps to find that one that got away.
In fact I'll go back up and make sure those up top know to watch for the white
undead elf. it should not have gone to far. May be Card to try to locate it
in her next pool visioning.
Hagar checks on those outside, is horrified Lang died, he was under Hagars
contract. Will suggest we prep the body for proper burial (Is Lang a candidate
for raise dead??) Hagar checks on Rarmuck and nods his approval. To the Gnomes
and Manrug Hagar
thanks and will help with the last rights of the gnomes lost.
Hagar will like to hear about Seans group then He then double checks the
perimeter defense nodding at how well it is set up.

Manrug will waive Holly down and direct her to the undercrypts. The gnomish
captain will tell Holly, "I think we have a fairly good haul, but safety first.
They need you downstairs." Carnodolana will be fully healed and protected from
fire by
the time Holly gets down as well. Who is starting with what?
The casks of ale are of a gnomish porter from Greystone on Stoddard. According
to the gnomes, it asked, it is mighty fine ale and Manrug will suggest a
non-gnomish guard if you expect it to return to Aarell. Another cask smells
like tobacco and the smell
is good among all of the smell of undeath.
The white elvish creature is taller than a normal elf and sort of reeks of the
stink of undeath. It wears fine but long since rotted robes. It wears a large
silver ring set with gems, a wrought gold and silver ring and an ivory broach.
It has a scabbarded
broad sword with an exquisite golden handle. A belt pouch includes 1 gold and
6 copper of an ancient design with a winged creature on the front and a camel
on the reverse.
The 27 10' poles are unremarkable and may have been stock for poling oars or
something else shipboard.
Elmore will use a cure serious and two CLWs on Ahearn. He recovers 18 HPs. So
Ahearn should be at 21 HPs now after Xander's healing.

When John Mac gets to the bottom of the stairs from the western crypt down into
the undercrypt, he will be able to put his halbred into the white elvish
creature and confirm the creature is dead. Rarmuck will tell Holly he will go
to meet Wolfgang
and find out what is going on with Sean's group. Joseph will wait at the
eastern crypt to ensure nothing pops back up. He is beheading the few zombies
and such not destroyed by Elmore.
Manrug and Kelbis will be reposting the archers to provide a security
perimeter.
What are the rest of you doing? There are a number of crates, boxes and casks
both in the western crypt and below. There are many dead ghouls and four dead
ghasts plus one insect covered white elvish thing in rotting but once fine
robes.
Of note are three large travelling cabinets along the lines that someone like
Bonaluria would like to travel with. A dozen casks labelled ALE. Another
unmarked cask, a smaller plain wooden box marked poisons. Two large amphora, a
snare drum, 27 10' poles.
Two smaller carved wooded boxes about 2x3x3 each with a small brass padlock; A
carved stone casket with bas relief of a wizard dispelling several outerplanar
creatures and a silver coffer about 1'x6"x6".

The white elvish creature responds with some snarling words, but nothing
coherent as it is swatting at flies and gnats. Assuming Carndolana and Sicarius
will both shoot at it, Carnodolana will hit twice. Sicarius nearly pins John
Mac but misses.
At the beginning of the next round, the creature will roll down the steps.
What does the party wish to do? In about seven minutes, Elmore will start to
move again.

Continuing on what is John Mac doing? There is no target beyond the bug covered
white elf-thing or he could go down the stairs to the undercrypt. The gnomes
are looking for direction.
Xander has started towards going to heal, but it took him a round to get down
the rope and now he is able to act in the undercrypt. Sam is still down there
as well. Hagar has one more ghast to fight.

Insects are starting to gather on the white elf. Carnodolana and Sicarius
cannot get a clear shot past the ghoul and John Mac, Manrug and Kelbis are less
of an issue. John Mac and Manrug will both hit the remaining ghoul and bring it
down.
Hagar will kill one of the remaining ghasts. The last ghast cannot hit Hagar.
Ahearn will see the white elf disappear. It was definitely casting a spell and
is now gone. Xander will reach the bottom of the ghoul nest and will see Elmore
and Ahearn ahead.
What are you all doing for the next round? It appears that the western crypt
still has one white elvish creature surrounded by insects. The western crypt is
piled with lots of crap; mostly boxes and crates of rotted foodstuffs. Below,
one ghast remains opposite
Hagar. Ahearn is bleeding in an excellent manner. Elmore is standing like a
stonewall.
Holly will note that Wolfgang is reaching the edge of the graveyard.
