Going Deeper Underground

And so we continue our travels in Neverwinter. Maybe one of the shortest sessions we had, but lets see if it will be the shortest post I've ever written as well. It started back in town, we headed to the tavern for a feast to ease our pains and make plans for the journey south... again. Damn poisoned arrows. The battle minder headed over to Lord Neverember and was able to receive both a promise of a headquarter and a wagon so that we could speed up our travels. Nice, being promoted really has its perks. The next day was preparation time. Our wizard and barbarian headed over to the Elminister for advice and help on certain matters, for example the cursed barbarian axe. I headed over to the church of Corellon to warn them about the threat from the drows appearing in the south and east as well as asking about something that troubled me, the dragonborn's behavior and my promise to release him. The warden told me that my promise should be kept, but if my worst fears would turn out to be true I had to prepare for the outcome.

So what was our dragonborn doing at the time? He visited the shrine of Tiamat and was harassed by the local warden. It went so far that Zelakor (the dragonborn) pushed him away so the old man fell and injured his head. A really nice guy is he not? After that we all returned to the tavern and then onward to the gate to embark on our wagon. Me, the battle minder and the wizard took the front as the others stayed inside the wagon. Onward toward Waterdeep we finally reached our destination, a crypt. The markings on the crypt told of some aristocratic family that didn't like sunlight... it's a vampire is it not? We enter the building finding a chapel that seemed to making preparations for some moon ritual... I really don't like the sound of this. We begin to search the chapel and what do you know, I roll a natural 20! A NATURAL TWENTY!!! HELL YEAH! I find a secret door and roll to open it... another success. I'M ON A ROLL! It contained certain items we thought could be used for the ritual, so we let it be until we were sure no evil would attack us from behind. The barbarian on the other hand found a secret trapdoor revealing some stairs down underground. That sound like fun. The session ends here and next time our bard is hopefully back in working order so that we have some healing power when we duke out with a vampire.
