The noise from the forges, the hammers striking steel, the hustle and bustle of the city, the occasional roar of a red dragon waddling through the city keeping the forges lit, merchants barking out deals for their wares, guards yelling at random visitors, and more all brought up the decibels of the background noise. The fires of the forges permeated a orange glow throughout the city. The city was hot and humid, but well lit.

Cicero stepped in with some quick thinking and shamed the grey dwarf into submission (rolled a Nat 20 on persuasion), and they made their way in to the city. Their disguise as slavers seemed to work, but just as the gates were opening, a dour deurgar came out of a hidden door and demanded they pay a 50 gold entrance fee. He discovered that it would cost 60 GP to secure a couple of boats to bring everyone across the lake.īack outside the city, the other group was just reaching the gates, where they were stopped as expected. Once in the city, he scouted around for a bit and made his way to the docks. He put all his armor and weapons in a pack to keep them hidden. In the city, Ron was able to sneak in relatively undetected. They still went with the Slave Driver disguise and approached the gates. Fortunately, Cicero knew some of the names from his research into the Underdark and they were able to make it sound legitimate.Īs an additional contingency, Brin cast Illusionary Script to make a document look like it was from that same house (but without any official seal) to use as proof that they were expected. Meanwhile, on the inside, Ron would pretend to be a servant of a minor house, come up to the same gate from the inside, and pretend that the house master wanted these people in right away. The party discussed their entrance into Gracklstugh they decided that Ron would take the servants entrance while the rest would go through the tunnels to a gated entrance. His character ended up in a background role with the NPCs. This week, our Druid was unable to attend.
