Simon N. (GM):GM: @Qiviel - the morning after the rescue of the nuns, you have collected your share of the loot from Erasmus, Abbess Mara asks you to meet her in her study.
Chris T.:A bright smile creases the Gnome's ugly face. "M'lady Quiviel I believe?"
Qiviel:Qiviel nods to them sisters, then turns to the gnome. "Indeed. And you?"
Chris T.:He bows very low.
Simon N. (GM):Abbess Mara explains that the Jensons are shepherds at South Chaney Manor, their daughter was recently kidnapped while out shepherding - a local woodsman believes the tracks lead north to Old Chaney Tor.
Qiviel:"Quagg," she greets. "At yours."
Simon N. (GM):Mr Jenson: "We're desperate - Sir Chaney our lord will do nothing! Just sits there drinking all day. So we came here, miladies, sir gnome."
Chris T.:Quagg reassures them that Lady Quiviel is the very person to rescue their daughter... "With a little help of course."
Battle Sister Bronda:Sister Bronda: "He's great wee one!" pats Quagg's head
Chris T.:Quagg smiles up at her. Safely under her and beams a big smile. Quagg smiles a lot. He's a jolly little fellow.
Qiviel:"Yes, I will set out as soon as I have gathered my gear and I will be put in good stead with Quagg's company, I am sure. What is known of this Old Chaney Tor?"
Chris T.:"Up near the Froggy Lake."
Simon N. (GM):Bronda beams back at Quagg, takes a draw of her cigar and blows a smoke ring, causing Praetoria to cough slightly. Mara: "Sister Bronda and Sister Praetoria have agreed to join the expedition. I hope you are all recoverec from last night's battle."
Chris T.:"Bang between Orcs and Bullywugs. Not a nice place."
Simon N. (GM):Mara: "Once it was the seat of power of the Chaney clan, when they sought to be recognised as Barons of the Chaney Shire. But that was decades ago."
Qiviel:"We'll be glad of their companionship," she nods to Mara. "Are there others that have gone missing in the area that we should look out for?"
Simon N. (GM):Mara: "It was sacked and looted by the Bullywugs in a surprise attack. Sir Lorgas Chaney, I think his name was, died in the defence, though his daughter survived with her infant son, Randal, now Sir Randal Chaney. Since then it has lain in ruins."
Qiviel:Q makes a mentla note about the cultists for later
Simon N. (GM):Mara: "These kidnappings have become a blight on the land."
Chris T.:Quagg asks the nice couple, Mr. & Mrs. Jenson to describe the girl.
Simon N. (GM):Mr Jenson: "Pretty like my wife - 20 summers, blonde hair." Mrs Jenson nods: "Always a good girl - wouldn't run off, not like that Viola Chaney!"
Qiviel:"Viola Chaney ran away? When was this?"
Chris T.:"The little minx!"
Simon N. (GM):Mrs Jenson: "A while back now - six weeks I reckon? They say she's carrrying on with a Druid, down at Ramvira Manor! The cheek of it!"
Qiviel:Q gives a small frown. "It could be just as likely she was kidnapped and that is some story concocted. Three girls all disappearing within weeks of each other..."
Chris T.:"Well if we can find one,it's a star."
Simon N. (GM):Mara: "At this Abbey we are all too aware that girls can be wayward, and I can confirm Viola Chaney is safe enough... but I am sure that is not what happened here. Thank you all for agreeing to aid the Jensons."
Chris T.:Quagg again performs an elaborately low bow.
Qiviel:"We will set off as immediately to investigate," Q gives them a small bow.
Battle Sister Praetoria:Sister Praetoria: "Shall we be off?"
Chris T.:all ready here :)
Qiviel:"I shall follow whoever knows the path to this Old Chaney Tor."
Simon N. (GM):Mara: "Thank you all." She turns to Qiviel and smiles. "I feel you should be further rewarded for your efforts, and a Lady Knight should not have to walk. When you return here the Sisters will have ready for you a fine horse from our stables, with saddle and tack."
Qiviel:"That would be very kind."
Simon N. (GM):GM: Quagg knows the territory like the back of his foot. :)
Battle Sister Bronda:"Let's do it!"
Chris T.:Quagg is pleasedto lead the way then. Though he has no mount... yest :)
Battle Sister Bronda:The Jensons thank you effusively as you stand and make ready...
Qiviel:(I think he should have large corgi :D )
Battle Sister Bronda::D
Chris T.:(I'm hanging on for a Giant Weasel or Pteradactyl :D )
Simon N. (GM):GM: You head east on the main road a couple miles, then from there Quagg knows a short-cut north east through the thick forest to the Tor.
Qiviel:(A giant weasel would be hilarous but very hard to hold on!)
Chris T.:Quagg has a taste for the exotic
Qiviel:(Then go with a wolverine - nasty little mount :D )
Simon N. (GM):4 miles later the trees open up and you approach the old Chaney Tor, on the south side of Froggy Lake.
Chris T.:(oooo nice :) )
Simon N. (GM):The Battle Nuns grow quiet as you approach the ruins.
Qiviel:Q draws her sword and shield, holding them loosely in a ready position.
Simon N. (GM):Your tokens are in SE corner of map BTW :)
Qiviel:(got it, thanks!)
Chris T.:all working nicelt, thank you
Simon N. (GM):Stairs lead up to a shattered door on the SE side of the old manor fort. The NE corner has collapsed in rubble.
Chris T.:"You want me to take a look?"
Simon N. (GM):It looks like there are two obvious means of egress - through the front doorway or up the rubble pile.
Qiviel:Q glances down. "If you so choose, yes."
Simon N. (GM):The stairs go up about 8' to the doorway.
Chris T.:Quagg nods and scurries off on silent feet tolook more closely at the doors
Qiviel:Q moves to the base of the stairs to wait for the gnome. She scans the area with watchful eyes
Simon N. (GM):GM: The doors were shattered by a battering ram or similar. The entrance way is dank and mossy.
Chris T.:He looks closely for trip wires or other perils.
Simon N. (GM):A second, intact pair of doors lies down a 15' passage, with murder holes on either side 3' off the ground for thrusting spears etc at intruders.
Battle Sister Bronda:"It's quiet. Too quiet..."
Battle Sister Praetoria:"Aye - Can you hear it? No birds..."
Chris T.:Happy to be below the 'murder level' he creeps in sticking to the west wall.
Battle Sister Praetoria:Quagg can roll Perception
Qiviel:Q raises her shield in response, turning to look at the area around them with more care.

Chris T.:"They're a bit rusty I'm afraid. It's living in a swamp...." He apologises
Simon N. (GM):GM: In the old pantry you find a tiny sketch portrait of a goblin in charcoal on one wall. Nothing else of interest.
Chris T.:"Did youget your ring, Lady Qiviel?"
Simon N. (GM):It's not opening.
Chris T.:"Drat! Told youthey were a bit rusty."
Qiviel:Q holds up the ring that had been handed over to her. It goes into a pocket for the moment.
Chris T.:"Maybe one of you strong ladies could...?"
Simon N. (GM):GM: Quagg can take 10 on opening the lock.. will take 10 minutes but he'll get a 15 eventually :)
Qiviel:Q moves over - "You want me to pull?"
Chris T.:Quagg is happy todo that.
Simon N. (GM):DC 20 Athletics to break open

Chris T.:ah! Thanks
Simon N. (GM):Numerous weapons stand on the racks or have fallen onto the floor. The ones on the rack seem in decent condition, just a bit rusty. Those on the floor are much rustier.

Simon N. (GM):Quagg spots the secret door behind Q :)
Chris T.:His grin is wide as he inspects it..
Simon N. (GM):It's not locked, the catch is located (a bent nail) and it swings open revealing the Chaney treasure room...
Chris T.:Cautious in case of traps he enters.
Simon N. (GM):A chest sits on the stone.
Chris T.:ready toleap or duck as required..
Simon N. (GM):The chest is locked (DC 15)
Chris T.:He looks sadly at his rusty picksbut gives it a go.
Qiviel:"You can do it," Q encourages
Chris T.:"It may take me a few minutes. I can never do it when folks are watching."
Simon N. (GM):GM: 15 minutes later the chest is unlocked...
Qiviel:Q steps outside the door

Simon N. (GM):While Abbess Mara presents Qiviel with a fine roan mare saddle & tack, Bronda lets Quagg have a couple of her Thayan cigars. :)
Chris T.:(Quagg is only little and can'tcarry a lot.)
Qiviel:(I'm fine with that re: silver)
Chris T.:"Thank you my lovely!"
Qiviel:Q bows, "she is lovely." she runs a hand down the mare's neck.
Simon N. (GM):Mara: "Thank you for your aid, and your kind donation." Bronda grins and winks at Quagg - and tousles his hair.
Qiviel:"What you."
Simon N. (GM):Mara smiles: "You should name her,milady."
Chris T.:"Remember to let me know if you see any Giant Weasels here abouts!"
