Part 2: Phandalin

The door opens smoothly and silently to reveal a bedchamber about 20 feet across and 15 feet wide. The walls of this bedchamber are covered with drapes of scarlet cloth. The furnishings include a small writing desk with matching chair, a comfortable-looking bed, and a wooden chest at the foot of the bed.

Sitting at the desk, about 10 feet from Wish, is a short, dark-bearded human male in robes, studying a tome. He wears a princely mantle of ermine. A beautiful glass staff leans against his chair, within easy reach.

I nod to the others and step into the room quietly, heading alone the wall towards the right, marking the man as my prey in case he attempt to make a run for it.

Telepathically to Kama and then the others, "Let's try to do this quietly so he can't call for back up." but she prepares to cast a spell.

Wish, coming through the door first, rushes over and kicks the glass staff aside as he puts his rapier up against the man's throat. "Pardon me! Might you be known as Glasstaff?"

Edit: Confident that they've got the drop on the man, Wish also relaxes his concentration on the torch, so that it resumes its normal light.

In response to Hollow's telepathic suggestion, Wish then adds: "Answer quietly, please."

Kama follows the genasi into the room. Given that the man is only 10-feet away, he thinks it is tactically better to rush the potential wizard before he can get a spell off. He pays close attention to the man's hands and growls, "Don't even think about moving those paws of yours."

As emphasis, Kama plants the head of his maul upon the desk, letting its heavy weight imply his meaning. "Just nod your head yes or no."

Wish easily knocks the staff out of the way and feels the man stiffen as the rapier comes to rest on his neck, he responds calmly with a nod. He is surrounded and appears totally resigned to the situation.

"That's good." Wish nods. He thinks to Hollow: *Would you get that staff, please? I don't think he could get it, but you hear stories...*

(OoC: is there another door in the room visible? Wish is a little worried about getting interrupted while they are discussing things with Mr. Reader here...)

"So! You are known as Glasstaff?"

Kama brings out a strip of cloth to gag the man. No sense letting him cry out for help or cast a spell. He then takes off his chain vest and slips it over the man's head and drapes it over his shoulders, before finally tying the man's hands at the wrists, behind his back.

The half-orc begins a pat-down, removing any weapons, spell components, or arcane foci from the man. His work is methodical and practiced, done hundreds of times during his military training.

Hollow moves for the staff and snatches it up. She keeps one hand free to cast her own spells and moves to the door opposite the secret entrance to listen for any Redbands coming to check on their boss.

:::I see a door.:::

The wizard nods once again to Wish's inquiry. There is a door on the other side of the room.

Glasstaff sits still while Kama does his search. Kama discovers a component pouch on his person but little else.

Hollow doesn't hear anything on the other side of the door.

Jan 11, 2016 8:30 pm

You folks search the room. I'll keep an eye on Asstaff here.

Kama stands guard over the wizard, making sure there isn't even the slightest hint of spellcasting.

Jan 11, 2016 8:57 pm

Hollow shoves Glasstaff away from his desk in order to rifle through his papers looking for the correspondences that the group was asked to find. She has no intention of passing them off unread but does not say anything allowed about it.

To Glasstaff telepathically, "There is a price on your head you know. Several people would have us kill you before you have a chance to face justice. Do you have an opinion on the matter?"

Wish struggles with his dark nature and adrenalin, both of which are telling him to kill the man in cold blood. Instead, he reluctantly puts up his sword, figuring that Kama has the man under control, and checks the chest.

Hollow feels that the staff is somehow magical as she searches the desk and discovers several notes to apothecaries from neighboring towns requesting various materials for his workshop. She also discovers a letter that is most interesting:

Naatkinson sent a note to foolsmask

Wish is fairly sure the chest is neither locked nor trapped.

Jan 11, 2016 9:26 pm

Wish opens the chest and inspects the contents.

[Note to Wish]

Naatkinson sent a note to spaceseeker19

"Well, here is an interesting discovery. Do any of you remember the name Albreck? He was is a friend of Gundren's. A wizard, and he went missing a few weeks ago. This guy has a letter addressed to Albreck from, judging by the mark, the Black Spider. What do we make of that?"

Contemplating for a few moments Hollow then turns to Glasstaff, arching an eyebrow she says to him telepathically, "Well Albreck? Don't you have any opinion at all on whether we should kill you now or drag your sorry ass back to town to face their justice?"

Jan 11, 2016 10:21 pm

Albrek's head falls for a moment as Hollow reveals his secret but he does not respond to her telepathic message. Instead he raises his head and stares into her eyes defiantly.
