The Secret Office

Leading the party on, Lloyd moves towards the next room. The second door opens revealing a small room with a simple bed, a bedside table littered with lanterns and candles, and a heaped collection of clothing and equipment piled up against the foot of the bed. The small table with three chairs, one tipped over and lying on the floor, sits in the middle of the room. Three candles burn atop it, and the surface holds an open book with a pen laid across it, a bottle of ink, and a plate of half finished food. The glass carafe of blood red wine is almost empty, and, it appears, has been drunk from without the aid of a cup, for you cannot see one present. The room has a stifling, thick air, as if too long slept in.

Lloyd heads first to the table. His eyes are drawn first to the little notebook that lies open, a pen across it, and a bottle of fresh ink opened at the side. It is a small, leather bound booklet containing about two dozen stitched parchment pages, most of which appear to be filled with maps of Sandpoint or psuedo-erotic drawings of a mysterious woman (pic not suitable for work).

The maps appear to each depict different attack locations, with some strange text appearing to spell out numbers and methods or concealment and/or attack. It is the same type of text that the earlier letter from the tavern was written in, so either Ameiko (if the group finds her) or the halfling should be able to help.

The first few assault maps look very familiar, focusing on what looks like the earlier attack you were all so important in thwarting. What is more worrying is that near the back of the book there is a battle map that appears to show an assault by around 200 goblins, with various points of weakness in the defenses detailed. Some parts of this have been crossed out, and it does appear to be a work in progress, but the implications are still worrying!

The last page of the journal contains a rather strange image of what appears to be the same woman as before, only this time with wings and a tail. The guy either has a kinky imagination, or he knows some seriously messed up women! (Picture, again not suitable for work )

Gryffin finds a few pouches on the table, probably looted from the storage rooms. There are 6 pouches of gold dust and 8 pouches of silver dust. The eladrin wizard knows that these are used in glassmaking to colour the glass, and he is not sure whether to pocket them or leave them for Ameiko, since technically this place will probably fall to her now.

There are various items of clothing, and a full search of all items, turns out nothing else of importance.
