Arm Up!
Session 2
Having made good your initial escape from the cells and subduing the guard, you investigated further into the prison, quickly finding that you were in an underground floor. Investigating further on a hunch, Smitty found his way to a store room full of all kinds of equipment. Though some of the chests were broken, the party quickly realised that their gear that was contained within. Taking a moment to don your equipment, Atticus and Rasiu continued to explore around the other corridors
Finding a turned over guard’s room, they explored it thoroughly, finding some additional bolts for their looted crossbow, along with a couple of Gold pieces for their trouble – the guard clearly hadn’t had any time to spend their most recent wages!
Deciding that you had obtained all you possibly could from the cell level, you headed upstairs to a confusing corridor that seemed determined to stab you to death. With some quick work, Paul Potts deactivated and subdued the trap, allowing the party to pass quietly into a large room. On investigation, you found that this was the main Guard’s Barracks and it had been wrecked – beds turned over, linen’s torn to shreds, the contents of foot lockers scattered across the floor. Investigating further, you found that the fabric itself was torn in great slashes, generally clustered together in groups of 3 or more.
Beginning to explore the surrounding area, you found (and looted!) the Guard’s entire personal wardrobe and 10 lbs of dried meats (enough for rations for the 5 of you for the around 30 days). You also discovered that hygiene in the Stockades wasn’t a particular priority for the guards and quiet footsteps beyond another of the doors. When a stealthy approach wasn’t successful, you managed to convince the guards well enough that they haven’t attacked you on sight – mostly through the joint revelation that something else had been going wrong in the Stockades
