[QUOTE="mikeawmids, post: 8019068, member: 6776411"] [U]The Adventures of Fap Longwood #32 (Tyranny of Dragons)[/U] Castle Naerytar is a crumbling ruin long abandoned to the swamp, slowly sinking into the mire under the weight of its own stone. The entire edifice is slightly lopsided as a result. Snapjaw tells the party that a black dragonborn called Rezmir calls the shots and that she has two lieutenants; an elven duellist called Dralmorrer Borngray and a bullywug shaman called Pharblex Splattergoo. Rezmir and Borngray both have quarters in the castle proper, while Splattergoo can usually be found in the flooded caverns beneath the keep. Lizardfolk pickets challenge the party as they approach, but Snapjaw claims they are new cultists he is escorting to see Borngray. The party are permitted to pass. The heroes regret not stealing any cult attire from the many dead dragon cultists they’ve left in their wake since Thundertree. The barbican is defended by ten bullywugs and a pair of giant toads. [B]“Who – CROAK – you?”[/B] the bullywugs demand. [B]“New cultists,”[/B] Snapjaw explains, [B]“I am - ”[/B] The lizardman is silenced by a wet slap from the lead bullywugs webbed hand. [B]“Be – CROAK – silent! They – CROAK – talk!”[/B] None of the heroes are proficient in Deception, but the two dwarves have the best CHA and Horatio doesn’t need to worry about annoying his god with a few white lies. [B]“Er… Hail Tiamat!”[/B] he says, unconvincingly. The bullywugs look unconvinced. [B]“Er… Death to the non-believers!”[/B] Horatio adds. The bullywugs nod along and wave the party through. [B]“Not – CROAK – you!”[/B] one says, shoving Snapjaw away, [B]“We – CROAK – take.”[/B] The lizardman slinks away with his tail between his legs. Four bullywugs march the party across the causeway and into a muddy courtyard occupied by yet more bullywugs bossing around a handful of resentful lizardfolk. A three-storey tower with a domed roof stands in the centre of the courtyard. Two bullywugs take up positions to either side of the entrance, while the other two lead the party inside and up a flight of stone steps to the first floor. There is one door off this landing and one bullywug knocks, while the other keeps a pair of beady eyes fixed on the heroes. There is no response from inside the room, other than the muted squawking of a bird. The bullywug knocks more loudly, then turns to shrug helplessly at his friend. [B]“Where – CROAK – elf? Not – CROAK – here!” “How I – CROAK – know? What we – CROAK – do – CROAK – now?”[/B] While the two bullywugs argue, Mara casts [I]Sleep[/I] and they both nod off, leaning heavily on their spears. Fap tries to open the door that the bullywugs were banging on, but the lock proves too complex for his one level in Rogue to overcome. Horatio kicks the door open, the bullywugs downstairs don’t respond to the noise. The room beyond is a simple, sparsely furnished sleeping chamber; wooden cot, stool, stone wash basin.

Fap picks the lock and the party pocket the contents. Horatio wants to stuff the raven into the box and put it back beneath the floor, but the rest of the party vote him down. The party continue to climb the tower. The top floor has been converted into some kind of observatory, dominated by a large and complicated looking telescope-like contraption.

She peers through the lens, but the image is distorted and confusing. She begins to feel dizzy and steps away from the strange apparatus – just as four stone gargoyles drop in through trapdoors in the domed ceiling! [/QUOTE]
