 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!”. She tried to get him to quiet down again but he yelled, “It’s blaspheme that he has it!. It’s blaspheme that he’s read it!”. She tried again to tell him that if he gets her caught, she can’t get him out. He threw the note out of the bars and said, “Go away!”, as he turned to go back to his bed. +Eryn moved through the southern door and pushed it closed but didn’t re-lock it.

 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 leader told his men to draw their swords and if they felt something, to hit it. She lowerred herself just beyond the watering trough, near the portcullis, and hunkered down low, waiting to an opportunity to bolt if one presented itself. There was more catcalling from the women prisoners. As the guards went by the half-orc’s cell, he grabbed the closest guard and began fighting with him. An opening presented itself and Eryn slipped through quickly and returned to the other end of the hallway. The finished beating the half-orc off of the guard and returned to their post. They worked on the injured guard. One of the guards needed to go to the restroom so the boss told him he could. He disappeared into the closed door that Eryn was afraid to try to enter. She did move to get a look inside when the door was opened. Just a crapper.+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 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.

-They moved off to the northwest, chatting as they went. Eryn attempted to follow them but managed to knock something off the table she was passing. As-soon-as she realized she’d done that, she turned and moved quickly away from the item and the table, putting some distance between the Warden Blackmore, Theo, and her. Blackmore said, “Somebodies here, find them!”. Theo and draw swords and began moving in her general direction. Eryn fled back to the room, back to the stairs, and rushed down, as quietly as possible. She closes doors as she went. She whispered loudly as she started down the stairs for Symon and Xor to get through the grate and get out of here quickly. Xor and Symon rush through the grate with Eryn right behind them. They got the grate closed and got out of the room below. Everyone but Eryn made a dash for the other secret room. Symon told her they would give her an hour and then come looking for her. The rest of the party made it into the other secret room, closed it up and quietly waited.+They moved off to the northwest, chatting as they went.

 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.
