Gerox follows the two young men out of the tavern and into the streets. Edson and Brom discuss weather they should follow also.
The two men stumble as they walk, obviously slightly drunk. Based on their dress and manner Gerox guesses that they are commoners. Very common commoners. The pair continue on their way stumbling and talking about nothing overly important.

"I'm stayin' here." Says the barbarian from behind his mug. "Just wanna have some food and ale." Says Brom pausing long enough to take another drink. "I think it might be fun right here." He says while taking a drink and glancing around the room.
Note: Brom only talks while his mug is in front of his mouth. He doesn't ever look at Edson, unless they are at the same table, which I don't think they are. He does, however, spend lots of time eyeing up any female waitstaff and making it quite obvious.

Gerox will follow along discreetly. He will activate the invisibility spell one more time to follow along. (That gives him 16 minutes of coverage I think) He will close the gap and listen every once in a while to see if the boys are talking about anything interesting and will note where they are going. If the journey takes more than that, he will let the invisibility fade and just try to follow normally.

Gerox continued to follow the two young men. The walked for about five minutes before they arrived at a small home. They fumbled for a key to open the door.
Meanwhile back at the tavern Edson noticed that one man seemed to be studying him.the man was dressed in dark studded leather. At his table sat two large men. Both wore armor.
Meanwhile Brom sensed that one of the barmaids seemed to be looking at him. He sensed she liked him. Would he trust his intuition?

Well ok a quiet evening is boring as all get out and so Barratore gets up and goes looking for the others.
DM Jeff- The Flying Pariah Wednesday November 5th, 2014 12:46:57 AM
Outside the bar...
Gerox continued his investigation by looking in the window. The small first floor apartment where they lived was very modest. It appeared to have only one room, and was furnished with a table, two chairs, and two straw mattresses. That seemed to be the extent of their belongings.
Barratore was bored, so he decided to go and look for his friends. Where had they gone again? The Flying Somethingerother?
Some men relaxed with drink, food or a good woman. Others compiled lists, pondered over puzzles, and contemplated the political realities of Rum. Peza was the later sort of person. He was certain that something was going on.
Inside the bar...
Edson warned the others about the three dark men that had taken notice of him.
Brom laid a kiss on the barmaid, who tasted like salted mutton. She quickly pulled away and laid a slap on him. Perhaps he had misread her intentions? (That's for your 1 sense motive check... Call it a fumble!)
The slap got everyone's attention. Everyone except the dark man and his two companions who seemed to use the distraction to rise, slide across the room, and stand confidently only a few few from your table.
"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with the bartender" the dark man said. "Curious. What's Edson Kazil doing flapping his gums about nightcrawlers in a place like this? Come to think of it, what's he and his sidekick friend doing here at all? Doesn't he know he isn't welcome here?"
The room went silent. The bartender's face went white as he slumped behind the bar. Several nearby patrons started making for the exit.

Edson's mind races a million miles an hour, but that is normal for the skinny elf. That was normal for the elf's brain, and didn't hinder him in the least. His eyes scan their wrists, and clothing for any marks of the guild.
While his eyes scan, his mouth opens knowing he has to speak before Brom smashes one of the men in the face "Gentleman, saw you pondering your next scheme in that corner and wondered when you would come over and show your cards. Show your cards, do you know that line gentleman? Gentleman? Can I use that word, or should I use the more appropriate title, boot scum. So boot scum, you ask why me and my friend are here since we aren't allowed. Truth be told, there is no place in this fine city where we are not allowed, and there is no man or woman who will prevent us from going where we please because there is no one tough enough to stop my friend Brom. Now gentlemen, do me a favor and tell your guild friends, if they would like to run a good guild they should have hired me and not sent some first grade initiates to make their bones, and threaten me. Now walk away now, before Brom smashes your nose into the back of your throat. " (Intimidate 1, lol)
The entire time he is talking his hands are working under the table, unsheathing his khukri.

The slap wasn't entirely surprising. It wasn't the first time Brom misread a woman and it wouldn't be the last. "If you change yur mind..." He says to the barmaid with a smile.
Brom sees Edson's attempt to diffuse the situation with an attempt to intimidate the rogues. The rogue didn't seem very effective. It was Brom's turn. The giant man stands slowly. He looks down at the rogues the smile gone from his face. "Do as he says." Brom says. "If you make me an enemy, then know I am death an' only Gargul's embrace will free you from my judgement."

Barratore strolls down the street from the WLA compound, Peza was probably at the tavern where the guys they saved from the vampires had offered them a set up. She would likely know where the others were and so the minotaur heads there.
Barratore heads straight to her room and asks her if she knows where the others are, "Peza, I'm bored out of my horns. How do you people do it? just sitting around not doing something and you seem to do it so well and so often."

Edson doesn't back down, and even managed to lay on a little intimidation. But his tone was unconvincing.
Brom laid the intimidation on thicker... much thicker. Suddenly the room felt tighter, the air heavier. The henchmen at the dark man's side took a step back. A small step, but a retreat nonetheless.
Gerox finished his business and made his way back towards the tavern. Would he miss out on all the excitement?
Barratore visited Peza and learned where the others had gone. Would he go to look for them? Would Peza join him?
...
The dark man didn't flinch. Instead he grabbed a bottle off a nearby table and poured himself a drink, all the while keeping his eyes locked on Brom.
Meanwhile Edson studied the man and tried to discern all that he could. He was clearly slightly drunk, but thats not what gave this man his confidence. There was something dangerous about him. Dangerous and proud.
"I don't make enemies" the man said to Brom. "I unmake them. Slap them on a platter and serve them up for Gargul to choke on."
Edson Kazil(Shawn), AC 25,Touch AC 18, Flatfooted AC 12, HP 30/44 Friday November 7th, 2014 12:29:26 AM
"Bwahhhhaaa" Edson laughed out loud. He tried to contain the laugh but his outburst went uncheck"Really? That is your line back to us? Did you sit here all day at the inn, get drunk and come up with that dandy one?"
Edson quickly stands, his hand shooting for the pommel of his sword, but at the last second comes to an easy stop and rests on the hilt. He did it more to see if the men flinch.

Brom looks at the man in front of him trying to judge his skills. "Yur welcome ta try." He says looking at his opponent. Brom, too, grabs a drink. He lifts the mug of ale from his table and takes a drink. But Brom does lose eye contact during the drink as if to say you don't worry me, as if one could communicate that with his action. He lowers his drink and fixes his eyes once again on the dark man.
Edson laughs and makes his move, but Brom's eyes never leave the dark man.

Barratore mumbles "Flying Pariah", more to help him remember the name by the time he got to the street. Nothing more frustrating then to exit a place to go somewhere and forgetting where it was by the time you left.

Edson laughed, ridiculed and tested his opponents response to a subtle threat.
Brom invited battle and looked unimpressed with his opponents.
Gerox summoned a buddy and rode him back to the tavern quickly.
Barratore left Peza and made his way purposely to the tavern.
Peza contemplated.
....
"I would like nothing more" the dark man said in response to Brom's invitation. "so why don't you grow some melons and draw that sword big fella? Or maybe your twitchy elvish friend is man enough to draw? Then again, elves do have so much to lose... so many years gone with one cut of a sword."

Edson saw the man was serious, and the joking ended. He slowly drew out his long sword while never taking his eyes off the man.
"Brom and my's notoriety has us at a disadvantage. You know us, but I never caught your name."

"Put it away an' stay out of it." He says to Edson.
He turns back to the dark man "Don't need melons, don't need my weapon ta turn ya into pulp." He says pounding one hand into the other. "Ya might wanna draw yurs if we're gonna get this started." He gives the table in front of him a good shove to the side to make room. (Strength check DC 17)
He holds his hands out in front of him and waves the dark man closer in a come and get me gesture.

Barratore keeps walking. The smells of the city shift and blow up from the sea, and they remind the minotaur that he needs to make a trip outside of the city. Maybe he would take a couple days to hike out to the First People or maybe go exploring into the interior again. Driving into the unknown, that made his blood quicken. The city had its qualities too, there was always something happening....so why couldn't he find one of those somethings?

Barratore chewed on a nice piece of fruit while he made his way towards the tavern. His muscles ached to be used in a matter fit for a warrior. City life was for softies... Or was it? It was then that Barratore saw the tavern and people running out of it. His warrior instincts told him he needed to hurry.
OOC: your next turn can take you to the door of the tavern (upper right side of the map).
Inside the Tavern:
Edson drew his weapon and asked for the man's name, while Brom tossed the table aside and egged the dark man on.
"I take the name of the last person I killed" the dark man said. "Today I am Sam Glodden. Tomorrow I will be Edson Kazil." And then his sword appeared in his hand. His men were slower on the draw but still very competent.

Barratore almost smiles as he sees the people fleeing the tavern and with them, the possibility that today would become a good day. The minotaur breaks into a jog to get to the front doors sooner rather than later. When he arrives, he pauses but a moment to take in the scene, shadowy chaos and screaming. So he bellows at the large man he assumes is Brom, "What? Trying to add to yer score without me? That's cheatin!"

Barratore could smell battle. He happily charged into the tavern and took measure of the situation.
Gerox strolled into the tavern, but still managed to get there before Barratore. Once in position he cast a spell. Suddenly the world seemed to be moving at half speed for everyone but you.
Brom moved forward and launched a punch which the dark man easily dodged.
Edson rolled over the table and into position to attack.
Peza concentrated on his work, unaware what was happening in the tavern. ...
The dark man seemed to love combat as much as Barratore. He smiled after dodging Brom's swing, but he did not counter attack. Instead he launched his rapier around in a continuous circlular pattern, too quick to follow. It was an impressive display. Was this man out of your league? Dazzling display, successful demoralize check against Brom and Edson. Effect = shaken for 2 rounds. -2 to attack rolls and saving throws
The other two men fought with bastard sword. The first (d1) stepped forward and attacked Brom with a very well placed attack. His sword cut very deeply, (natural 20, critical confirmed for 28 damage to Brom). Brom pulled back, which saved him from the second attack which narrowly missed.
The second man (d2) accepted Edson's challenge with two quick attacks, which were also very well placed. (hit AC 31 and AC 29, crit not confirmed for 28 damage to Edson).

Brom wouldn't let a little unnerving stop him. His attack would have been enough to land a blow on most men. His opponent was not most men.
Gerox cleared out of Barratore's way and began casting. A ray exploded and struck the dark man, which caused him to slump slightly. (Save successful, half damage).
Barratore charged, knocking over barstool over barstool before his sword tore into the nearest opponent.
Edson slid forward another 5', flanking the dark man. This advantageous position compensated for his shaken morale. Two of his attacks landed true. ...
The dark man growled and spun around with an attack that matched Edson in speed. The first attack caught Edson in the leg, almost causing him to lose mobility (OOC: shatter defenses vs. uncanny dodge. You are not flat footed). His next two attacks also landed. (19 damage to Edson. ).
Barratore's attack had done serious damage to one of the attackers (d1), but he kept his feet, stepped forward 5' and attacked. Both of his attacks could not penetrate Barratore's armor.
The remaining opponent (d2) focused his attacks on Brom. His first swing was nearly perfect, slipping between Brom's armor. However, as he stepped forward with his second swing he slipped on the wet floor... Complements of Edson kicking over the table. He fell flat onto his back (damage 13 to Brom. On second attack D2 fumbled and fell prone).

Brom ignores the secondary attacker and continues to focus on the dark man. Brom moves right to flank his opponent (F7). He had turn his attention to Edson momentarily, and Brom had hoped to change that. The barbarian unleashes a barrage of swing connecting with all. A body shot to his left-side kidney, then another to the stomach. Both followed by third shot striking the ribs just above his first punch.

Barratore parries the man's strikes, turning his much larger blade over and sweeping out it out wide to the left. Barratore then shifts to the right and presses forward, (5' Step D/E-4/5), turning his opponent with him. Barratore's blade flashes back through the man's defenses and opens another garish wound. Barratores second strike misses by inches and he uses another hard cut to put the man off and regain his footing.
Edson was in serious trouble, was always hard to tell with Brom. "Gerox keep an eye out for this groups backup. Rats run in packs."

Gerox sees Edson go down and knows he needs to get to him but has to clear the way first. He calls out, "Brom, Edson is down, stop screwing around and draw your steel." He then casts an empowered scorching ray on D1 trying to finish him so he can go aid Edson.

Brom unleashed some pain in the form of three wicked punches. The sheer ferocity overwelmed the dark man's grace and nearly crumpled him to the ground, but somehow he kept his feet.
Barratore parried and countered with three vicious attacks. Two landed solidly. The wounds were considerable, but not yet lethal.
Edson lost consciousness. Would his friends get to him in time?
Gerox encouraged Brom to bring out the big guns, and then he took his own advice by calling upon his big gun... Metamagic. (OOC: need some clarification... An empowered scorching ray requires a 4th level spell but your character sheet is 7th level... I'm guessing your sheet needs updating. In any case, it's a full round action for a sorcerer to use metamagic, so your spell would come at the end of the round. Please just clarify a bit for the new (and slightly absent minded DM). ...
"Attack this one!" The dark man said, motioning towards Brom. His two companions obeyed by moving to flank and launching attacks that were more grit and less grace than previous. Only one of the attacks landed. (brom takes 18 damage. Brom gets an AOO on D2 when he stood from prone..
The dark man was obviously disappointed by the fact that Brom was still standing. For the first time his face showed a trace of panic. He had had enough, and so he attempted to create distance by rolling backwards. However, with Edson in the way the attempt became clumsy and Brom and Barratore saw their chance. acrobatics check, rolled a one, so Brom and Barratore can take an AOO, unless Brom takes it do D2.

Brom sees his opportunity to strike one of the lackeys and takes it. With an overhand strike down onto the shoulder region of D2 as he tries to stand, Brom makes solid contact with his opponent with the force of a sledge hammer.

As the Dark man moves, Barratore takes a sweeping strike, but it sails high as he rolls back. that man was not his main target anyway. Barratore was after the other 2. That way Brom could go and finish his fight. Barratore closes on both of them again (5' Step E/F-4/5), and makes a quick thrust into his opponent. The thrust slides right, but Barratore quickly retracts his swing and pulls it down and to the left ripping into the man. Barratores follow up cross misses completely

OOC: added damage to D2 from Brom's AOO. I didn't add Barratore's full attack because it would happen after the action below. Barratore can keep the rolls, just let me know if you want to follow through or not based on the post below.
IC The dark man managed to narrowly avoid Barratore's cut as he flipped over the fallen Edson, landing like a cat beyond the reach of Brom and Barratore. His blade flashed but stopped on the soft skin of Edson's neck. "Drop your weapons and move away from the door or I will finish him. And do not linger or else he may expire before you have a chance to get to him".
As the words came out of his mouth, Gerox' Scorching Ray exploded from his fingertips. The ray took one of the dark man's henchmen (d2) instantly sending him to the afterlife. As his body smoked the dark man turned his gaze to Gerox.
"He was inadequate so I let the attack go. But the next attack any of you make to myself or my other man will result in your friend's death. Now drop your weapons and move away from the door."

Barratoer drops his sword, though in truth he tried to plant it in the floor. The blade sticks for a moment and then clatters to the floor. Barratore then moves to his right 5', pushing the table with his hip as he walks into it. The fighter says nothing, he had nothing to say. To him they lost this one. Barratore mentally shrugs, they would pick up re-group and move on. He saw and felt no need to get angry about losing.

Brom looks at Edson's wound. The barbarian doesn't think the rogue will survive that wound, either way. But the dirt way the dark man is using the wounded to save his own skin only fuels his rage. "You'll be dead, too." He says placing a hand on his sword without pulling it. "Yur already dead. I was goin' easy on ya, but that ain't happenin' anymore. Yield or you'll beg for death after I'm done with ya."

"I give up!" the dark man's loan living ally said as he dropped his weapon and threw his arms in the air. "I'm just a sell sword. Paid to guard him, but I don't want anything to do with him anymore."
The dark man's face went white. It was tough to tell if it was Gerox or Brom words, or his man giving up. In any case, he lowered his blade from Edson's neck, spun it around once and dropped it on the floor.
"I might have slew first, but he drew first" he said in a weak apology. "But his heartbeat is still strong. He will live if you hurry."

Barratore looks over at both Gerox and Brom with a bit of concern. They were really taking this personally and Barratore now very much wished he had been here all along, or had stayed back at the WLA compound in his hammock. Barratore didn't need a weapon either, neither did Brom and so what was the harm in playing along with the human. Something had to have happened earlier and so Barratore snorts and looks back to the human to see what he would do. Probably slit Edson's throat and make a break for it.

The dark man give his story, and it seem believable enough. Brom believes he was robbed as he said. But other things still bothered Brom. His statement about taking the name of the last man he kills; the fact that he knew Edson's name, but not his; he knew thieves speak; and his readiness to kill so easily were all things that bothered the barbarian.
"Fine, ya got robbed. understand that. And ya, ya shouldn't have tried ta pick a fight." He says. "We'll wait fer the guard an get it all sorted out. Or it'll get back ta the captain an it'll trouble fer us. So, ya can just wait there."
Brom goes to check on the fallen sell sword to see if he is still alive. If so, he will give him a potion to stabilize him.

Barratore picks up his sword and sheathes it. He pretty much remains where he is and in a confused state. Not so much at what was going on but about what lead up to it in the first place. it was not overly important, though the fact that Edson pulled first annoyed him more than a little. Friendly bar fights are supposed to use weapons and that Edson turned the fight lethal annoyed him more that he gave it some thought.

"How many fights you been in gnome? There's always weapons used in a bar fight. Sword, knife, or broken bottle someone always usin' something." He says before walking over to Gerox. He puts a finger in Gerox's chest. "But I'll tell ya this once, you hit me with one of yur spells an' I'll rip yur arms off."
He takes a potion and drinks it (CSW - 18 hp).
Brom catches the coins from Edson.

Edson palms the letter and tosses the sack of coins.
Brom catches the coins and threatens to rip off Gerox's arms. He does not promise to beat Gerox with the wet ends.
Gerox calls Brom an idiot, and casts a spell. Multitasking.
Peza continues to eat cookies.
...
Gerox detected a moderate magical auras coming from his sword, armor, shield and cloak. He also sensed it coming from 4 vials of liquid.
Not a bad haul for a bar fight, but would it be taken or left behind? A decision would need to be made soon.
And what of this Ooze Alley? It was an odd place for El Sileon to meet these men. What had he been up to?

" Spoils to the winners" Edson says as he begins to take the items off the man for Gerox to examine them further.
Once the guard leaves, Edson shares the note with the others. "We should grab Peza and head over to Ooze alley."

Gerox points out the magic to the others saying, "Edson make sure you get those items. They are magic and have some value. Actually a lot of magic for a mercenary. I bet he cost some good coin."

Barratore steps in and stops Edson, "We're not stripping the body. And make no mistake, we are not discussing it." Barratore motions with his head towards the door, "Let's get going."
Barratore waits for the others to head to the door before he does so as well

Brom was in agreement with Barratore's statement. Leaving a naked dead body in the middle of Rum did not sit well with the barbarian. He heads to the door. "Where we gonin', Ooze Ally?"

Edson just rolls his eyes. " You two gain ethics at the worst time. He isn't some decent citizen, hes scum and I dont want his gear going to some other scum who will use it against us. Gerox and I say take it, you two say dont. Want to be fair, get Peza to split the vote. Otherwise dont try bullying. No pun intended Barry."
Gerox Shale ac 13 TA 13 FF 11 CMD 13 hps 58/58 Wednesday November 26th, 2014 11:39:01 PM
Gerox listens to Edson and nods to Barratore, "Edson is right. I am not leaving the loot or treasure behind. Half of our gear is taken from fallen foes. This is no different. They picked the wrong folks to mess with. This one paid the price. This wasn't a bar fight. This was an assassination attempt. I am not leaving the equipment behind for them to use against us again. If you don't want any, that is up to you, but Edson is right. You don't have the right to tell us not too."
DM Jeff- The Flying Pariah - Where is that Peza anyway? Thursday November 27th, 2014 1:19:54 AM
A disagreement temporarily divides the party. Peza is summoned to cast the deciding vote.
OOC: I'm going to assume Peza is brought to the tavern. Feel free to back post.
...
Eventually a decision is made on the fallen sellsword's equipment and you decide to leave the Flying Pariah. You walk the few blocks over to ooze alley. It takes less than two minutes.
Ooze alley is a positioned in between a hodgepodge of stone buildings. There are no windows or doors along the alley on account of the smell, which is created by the sewage that flows from the buildings and into a small stream that runs along the side of the alley.
The alley is a dead end... A bad omen.
OOC: please make perception and survival checks.

"This is very different from killing vampires and monsters in the wild. When do assassins walk up to you and say hi? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard used as justification. This man was hired by someone we know little about and we know even less about the man himself. This was not in the deep wilds, this was a tavern fight that went out of control and he ended up dead. You are not going to strip his corpse and loot his body like common honorless street scum-like parasite feasting off of others. Killing him does not give us claim on his property. Only reason we are not having this conversation inside a prison cell is our reputation and I am not going to let you defecate all over that reputation by continuing your course of action."
Barratore folds his arms, "Standing up for what is honorable and decent is not bullying. It is simply doing what is right. His gear used against us? Good joke, 3 of them could barely take Brom and the man didn't even draw. "
Barratore is holding his ground, "You want Peza to cast a vote, feel free to get her. Not changing my position on this. You are not stripping him."

Brom turns his head back at Gerox's and Edson's protesting, but Barratore makes his position very clear. A position Brom agreed with. "Come on." He says. "We got a hunt and some thieves ta catch."

OOC: I'm going to move you guys along... Let me know what the final decision is on the equipment.
IC: Brom searches the alley and discovered a hidden steel door. It appears to be barred from the inside. One could try to lift the bar (disable device) or they could simply try to smash the door in. Smashing is the less stealthy option.
Brom also discovers footprints leading to the door. They appear to have been brushed over in an attempt to hide the prints.
Brom is feeling pretty good about himself at the moment.

Gerox looks at Barratore and says, "Your wrong. This guy was a mercenary for sure and he took pay to fight against us. No one said he was smart. He equipment is useless to him now. It is a spoil of war. If we don't take it then it will end up being scooped up by others and sold. That is money that can go to healing potions and better equipment for each of us. It makes us more efficient in standing up to evil and doing our sworn duty.
This wasn't a bar fight. Normal people don't get into bar fights. Only big goofballs with something to prove do. This guy wasn't fighting "in an honorable bar fight" He was trying to kill Brom and Edson. Next time I will just let him. It will be more honorable."
Gerox scoops up the potions and says, "I am taking these to replace what I used in the battle. If you don't want the rest, fine."
Gerox strides out of the bar muttering to himself.
As they move into the alley, Gerox looks around (perception check 31 and survival check 11)

Brom hears the gnome's argument, but Barratore was spot on. Their reputation had saved Edson and Gerox from the stockade and that was the reason Brom didn't draw - weapon fights in cities are frown upon. If Brom had draw, there was no dount in the barbarian's mind, he could have killed all three, but he would have sullied the League's reputation, the group's reputation, and Rum's citizens' faith in law. This is universal. Brom had seen this many times growing up.
In the alley, Brom waits for Edson to see if he can open the entry before Brom takes his turn.

Barratore snorts at Gerox's mention that it was not an honorable bar fight, of course it wasn't. It was a bar fight. Spellcasters got odd at times. Barratore does not stop Gerox from grabbing the potions, he just snorts again and exits the tavern.
In the alley, the fighter waits for Edson to do his thing. He keeps his focus up and behind the the group

As Edson checks the entrance for traps Gerox begins scanning the alley for trouble. As his eyes move along the walls he spots a dark rope pressed into the cracks of a corner that is knotted and can be used to obtain access to the rooptops.
Edson examines the entrance carefully. Although he notices no traps right away, he does detect that the area around the entrance has been been carefully brushed clear of tracks. One by one he examines the bricks, stopping at one about 10ft from the door...curious, there is not mortar around that brick.
At most of your attention so focused that you don't feel the eyes upon you until the sound of a foot accidentally kicking a a beer bottle draws your attention....
You turn around just in time to see a mangy dog running away from the rolling bottle. Although three of the league adventurer's had seen the mutt wandering, his lack of a threat raised no alarms. Perhaps not quite the deadly enemy some were expecting, he did serve as furry reminder that you should keep your guard up at all times.

Barratore turns his attention back to Edson at his phrase, "here we go." He nods to the rogue but then then returns his attention to what is above and behind the group. Brom, he knew would take lead, and for now, he would be taking the rear guard spot. Barratore pulls his shield and his sword. As the others get ready to follow Brom's lead, Barratore asks aloud in all seriousness
"Are we taking prisoners or slaughtering them all?"

James Dietz CoDM Tuesday December 2nd, 2014 10:33:29 PM
Edson cautiously removes the brick from the wall. As he pulls it out he realizes that the brick is shorter than one would expect, and behind lies a large brass key. Taking it quickly he rejoins the group. Only Brom remains alert, but nothing around him moves. Already Barratore is readying his weapons and the League Adventurer's are falling in line. A decision to try to keep as many alive as possible, especially the leaders. Peza shoos the dog away and signals Edson to open the entrance.
Unsurprisingly, the entrance is locked. However it only takes a second for Edson to try the key. The well oiled lock turns silently and the door slides open a few inches under its own weight. In the dim light filtering in through the crack you can just make out some mattresses on the floor along with a variety of dry footstuffs. On the far side of the room if a thick metal door.

Gerox points to the metal door and says, "If that is barred, it will be easier to go through the wall than that thing. Edson, can you check it out? I wonder if the same key works on it."

Barratore remains outside of the small room while Edson and Gerox investigate and Brom watches them from inside. The minotaur stands with his back to the wall and gazing back down the alley towards the street. Occasionally looking up. He smiles as Peza looks into the doorway, "I'll do my best to get you a few."

As you all enter the room Barratore remains vigilant, but nothing stirs other than you. The room is cramped with everyone in it, and you notice a stale odor mixed with that of your comrades. At Gerox asking Edson tries the door and finds it locked. To make matters worse, the brass key does not fit into this lock.
After examining it, Edson thinks there is a chance the lock could be picked. As for what would be easier to break down, the door or the wall, it is hard to say. It is impossible to tell how thick either are.
