| She was at the end of the cell row and was at a jail door that opened into a large room that appeared to be a cafeteria eating room. Eryn could hear the clanging of pots and pans coming from an area in the center of the western wall of this room. In the southern portion of the western wall was a small alcove where a couple of guards were stationed. Eryn could see no way for her to open this door without alerting the guards to her presence. She moved all the way back down the hallway and waited within site of both exits for someone to appear and open one of the doors. She’d hoped to sneak through when that happened. After a long time, someone did finally appear at the door to the cafeteria and began unlocking it. She rushed to get to the door but was unable to get there fast enough. Worse than that, she made a noise, brushing by a chain, which caught the attention of this individual wearing a blackish and bluish robe coming into this area. He was not pleasant looking, scarred and even a little gruesome looking. He turned and stood very still, looking in all directions trying to determine where the sound came from. Eryn froze and waited. After a while, the big prisoner in the last cell came to his door and started hassling him. He turned and glared at the man who waved him off and moved back in and sat down. The man in the hallway moved forward again. She waited until his movement became more deliberate before moving herself. | She was at the end of the cell row and was at a jail door that opened into a large room that appeared to be a cafeteria eating room.

| - | He stopped in front of cell five, the empty cell with bedding material and a cup in it. He starred for a bit and looked to both sides, and then turned and moved with deliberate haste to the exit door at the other end of the hallway. Eryn fell in quickly behind him, matching her steps to his, taking advantage of the noise he made as he walked, to mask her own steps. As he reached the next door, he pulled out keys and opened it, Eryn slipped through behind him and moved to an empty wall and froze. He didn’t close the door. He walked up to a guard. The guard asked, ”What the fuck are you doing here?” The gruesome guy asked in a gruff voice, “Where’s the girl?”. The lead guard came out and asked, “What girl?”. Gruesome guy said, “The girl! She was promised!”. The lead guard said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”. Gruesome guy said, “Cell 5!”. The lead guard said, “Oh, that girl! Oh, we’re all looking for a girl every once in a while!”. There was a bunch of laughter with that. Some more guards come out now. The lead guard said, “She got moved!”. Gruesome guy asked, “Why wasn’t I informed? | + | He stopped in front of cell five, the empty cell with bedding material and a cup in it.

| Once everything had quieted down, and the guards returned to their games. There were two rooms acting as the guard station. Eryn moved in closer to the southern chamber. Along with the game they were playing, there were some papers on the table. She leaned in to try to get a better look at the papers and saw that it was a prison roster. She also made a little noise. One of the guards seemed to notice and actively moved to investigate. Eryn backed away quickly and quietly, waiting on things to calm down again. It wasn’t long before the guards were heavy into their game again. She moved in close again and did see that the paper had cell numbers and the names of people in them. On the first page, she didn’t find the names of anyone she was looking for. It was a book with multiple pages. She backed up and went across the hallway to the northern room. There was little in there but the leader guy and a couple of other guards. She could see a note on the table but couldn’t read it. She decided to have a look down the hallway and passed by each cell. There was nothing identifying about any of the cells or people, though the cells were bigger. She got a good look into each cell. Once she made it to the other end, she came to a huge portcullis. On the other side of the portcullis was a wide hallway that led to stairs going up. In the next hallway, there was a jail door to the south leading back to the cafeteria area she’d spied earlier. There was another jail door leading to the north to another room that seemed to be another kitchen area. | Once everything had quieted down, and the guards returned to their games.

| Eryn determine that she needed to get to the notes with the cell numbers and occupant names if she had any hope of finding Shea, Fran, and Rogard. One of the cells held a half-orc that appeared pissed and spoiling for a fight. She moved to that cell and when she felt she could safely do it, she unlocked his cell. He heard the click and turn to face the door. She moved quickly back down the hallway, past the guards, and waited. The half-orc finally realized that the door was no longer locked, pushed it open, and began making his way toward the guards. An uproar ensued and the guards poured into the hallway and fought to subdue the half-orc. All of them were required to restrain him and return him to his cell. As they worked to do that, Eryn moved into the room with the book and quickly searched it. She found Rogard’s name quickly as being in cell four. She later found Fran’s name as the occupant of cell five. She searched and didn’t find a Shea. By this time the guards were on their way back so she had to back out of the room and out of the way. She waited outside the room until things settled back down before moving again, except to unlock the jail door leading out of this area and back south. The leader was very angry and chewed them out for the mistake of leaving his cell unlocked. | Eryn determine that she needed to get to the notes with the cell numbers and occupant names if she had any hope of finding Shea, Fran, and Rogard.

| - | Eryn moved through the southern door and pushed it closed but didn’t re-lock it. She moved back down to the cell she believed was cell four. She took out the note for Rogard and placed it just inside the cell and tapped on the bar to get him to look that way. He didn’t seem to notice so she tapped a little harder. The prisoner looked up and over in that direction. Eryn put her finger on the note and moved it around a little to get his attention. He got up and approached the door and picked up the paper and read it. He looked around and said, “Who’s there!”. Eryn tells him her name is Sherri. She gets him to tell her that he is Rogard. She tries to find out about the book that he brought into Frosthaven but that seems to agitate him and he got louder. She reminded him to keep it down but the more asked him about it, the more agitated and louder he became. He did say that the book was ancient knowledge that would lead them to callIng Ahn back. He asked if Eryn knew where it was. She could only tell him that Sir Charles had it. He became angry, snarling, and saying things like “Infidel” and “Blaspheme”. He got louder as he got more angry. He said, “He has no right to that book!”. Eryn Tried to get the note back from him, so their would be no evidence she had been here. She tried to get him to quiet down as well. He asked her who she was and why she was there. She told him that she was working to get him out of here but needed to know more about the book. He told her to get the book and to bring it to him. She asked, why the book would scare Sir Charles. His response was loud and he shouted, “Because he’s an infidel!”.

| Eryn picked up the note and looked back at cell five. Fran was supposed to be in there but she’d heard the exchange between gruesome guy and the guard leader earlier where the guard told him that he’d been ordered to move her. She doesn’t know where she was moved to. Eryn returned to the section where the guards were. She waited for something to happen. There was a door in the wall to the east but no writing and no way to look inside except by opening it. There wasn’t a lock on it. She reached for it and realized it was rusty and likely to make noise if she tried to open it. She positioned herself between the cells and the portcullis, waiting for someone to come to any of the doors so that she could possibly slip through. She examined the portcullis and determined that she couldn’t open it. She returned to waiting for activity. Xor was becoming concerned as she’d been gone for a while. He listened at the door but wasn’t sure if he would be able hear anything through it or not. He decided to continue waiting. He’d guessed that she’d already been in there for three and a half to four hours. Eryn looked at the portcullis again and determined that the lever to open was out of reach on the north wall of the western side of the bars. She tried to think of other ways to get into other areas of the prison. | Eryn picked up the note and looked back at cell five.

| - | As she moved back down this cell area, she made a noise, maybe coughed or something, and the guards suddenly became alert and looked out into the main area. She froze in her tracks. The leader guy said that there had been a lot of strange things happening tonight and he ordered his men to make a line and to move slowly down the hallway. It was quickly obvious that they were looking for someone, namely her. As they were moving down chamber, one of the prisoners said, “You can’t see her can ya?”. They stopped and asked, what he was talking about. He only replied that he wasn’t going to help em. They began moving again. Eryn backed up to the portcullis.

| - | The bandaged guard returned to his area and sat while the rest of the guards were repositioned and ordered to be more on alert in the cell area. Eryn stood against the eastern wall and waited for someone to open and the north gate out of the area, allowing for access to other areas of the prison. After lengthy lack of activity and nothing to indicate anything was going to change, the guards finally returned to their respective areas and settled in. They were ordered to keep their eyes open though. Eryn kepts waiting for another hour or so. Symon pushed open the grate to see if Xor knew anything, but he indicated that the door was so thick, that he’s not sure he could hear anything through it anyway. Xor asked if he should crack the door and see if he could see or hear anything. He said he thought he could open it quietly as it opened quietly before. Symon agreed he should try. Xor cracked the door slightly and listened, hearing nothing, he opened it more and looked about, not seeing anything. He left it cracked a little, prepared to close it quickly if someone approached. Eryn happened to see the door slightly ajar began moving toward it. Symon moved up the stairs a little ways and tried to see and hear what he could. It was dark but was able to make out a landing further up. Eryn slipped through the jail door between her and the secret door and made her way back to the secret room. She pushed on the door whispering, “Hey”. Xor stepped back and Eryn slipped in and closed the door again. | + | The bandaged guard returned to his area and sat while the rest of the guards were repositioned and ordered to be more on alert in the cell area.

| Xor let her know that they’d been getting worried about her and she apologized and explained that there were lots of locked doors to get through and that she was having to wait for people to open those doors before she could slip through them. She let them know that she’d found a prison roster and knows where Fran and Rogard should be. That Fran was moved and not in her cell and Rogard was far too agitated to get any real information out of him except that the book was a tool to help get Ahn to return. He won’t say how and only went on a tirade about Sir Charles blaspheming by taking and reading the book. He also needs or wants the book back. She also told them that Shea wasn’t listed in the roster. She doesn’t know why she’s not on the roster except that maybe she’s being held somewhere else in the prison. | Xor let her know that they’d been getting worried about her and she apologized and explained that there were lots of locked doors to get through and that she was having to wait for people to open those doors before she could slip through them.

| Eryn waited just outside the room that led to the prison and listened. The door is thick so she was not sure if she could hear them coming or not. She stayed prepared to dart away. Nothing ever happened and she never heard anything. When the hour was nearly done, she crept down to the others and let them know that no one came through. She took this time to catch them up on what happened while she was in the prison and all that she’d learned. They began going over who the people were. The Warden she recognized but Theo she had not seen before and described him to the rest. The boy, she didn’t know exactly who that was. We discussed trying to get more information about what they are doing in the prison. If we could find out who this boy was or get Sir Charles on our side then we could maybe dig into whatever is going on in the prison. Maybe turning in the goblins, the letter about the pending attack, and then explaining the riddle of the missing chickens will help gain Sir Charles’ trust. We can try to protect the secret room we are in now by covering it like it was when we found it. | Eryn waited just outside the room that led to the prison and listened.
