Day 3 - Laundry

The hallway is cleared and we're looking for where to go next. There's some alcoves on the sides of the hall, but Frazzle looks them over and decides they're just where the gnolls keep trash. That's remarkably organized for gnolls.

Meanwhile Shintauro finds a door, opens it and heads up a set of stairs. Opening doors willy nilly is probably a bad idea, but he makes a fair point: anything that was behind that door surely heard the battle royale that occurred just seconds ago, so if it didn't come out it's probably something we can kill easily.

So, yeah, there was nothing behind the door. Well, not nothing. Just some stairs. I asked Frazzle where he thought those stairs went and he told me he didn't think they went anywhere, they probably just sat there. Fair point.

So, up the stairs we go, and that's where we find...the laundry. Seriously, a room filled with nothing but dirty clothes. Dirty women's clothes...something odd about that, I think. There's a door in the laundry room and a door at the end of another hallway.

Shintauro assures us he can pick the lock of the door in the laundry room, but no, in fact what he does is break a lockpick off in the lock. Good job, sergeant. We head for the other door. Opening it quietly we find a group of gnolls having some kind of meeting.

Knought rushes them, and after a moment's debate about whether or not we should just shut the door and bail we decide to run in and help him out.

Another. Huge. Battle. The Paladin gets netted, I almost get killed, and Shintauro comes even closer to death than I do. Thank the Gods Tree guy and his panther are vicious fighters and water elf fish girl is helpful. Once we've taken them all down we decide to close that door and get some rest.

I know we need it...
