Well, we managed to make our way up the building. The first thing we found on the second floor was a throne room, it was very nice - wasted on a silly human. While poking around for hidden doors, I thought the throne itself would be a good place to check. I mean, I would want some kind of lever or some such on my chair to operate these things. As it was, I found no such thing - but I did manage to swing the throne itself back and reveal gold, jewels and a vial of some liquid. I quickly stashed them in my satchel for later dispersement. The captain, meanwhile, had found the secret entrance. And stepped on a trap.
There are times I do worry about our captain's inability to look before he leaps, so to speak. But ah, thankfully Sira was there with a large vase to help him off. He didn't seem as keen to be tackled off the trap by myself.
Avoiding more guards we went upstairs and Helene knocked the upper floor guards unconscious. Alas not quite unconscious enough so they came around and tried to attack - we dutifully put an end to them however. Sira is quite handy with that sword.
The top floor was a series of rooms, many of them sleeping quarters. Unfortunately the subjects woke up before we could quite come up with a plan so I charged one of the woken up guards and cut him down, while the captain went to rescue the girl. I then ran towards the stairs to try and set them on fire and stop any reinforcements coming. Alas my spell just fizzled - not a very good start to this new power. Now? They have a mage and others and....well. Let's just hope we get out of this and can make our way down.
