The Prison- Basement One

Elayne's survey of the room determines that all the doors are magical in as much as they rise and fall automatically when you approach or pass through them, but only the southern door has an alarm spell on it. Part of the party splits off, standing on the circular rune stone and speaking the dwarvish word for "Up".

The Prison- Ground Floor

The archaeologists take a step back in surprise when people return from down below so quickly, and fall back even more when they realize the cargo that comes with them. Several rush away to see to other duties, but Bartimeus solemnly steps forward, calling over a few of the young archaeologists to help. One comes with a large roll of linen. "If you could set him down off the pad, please. I'm loathe to step on that thing." Once he has had a moment to examine the corpse, he sighs and shakes his head. "Gaston... they say he went deeper than anyone else." The team of scientists begin stripping him of his armor, following up by wrapping him in linen. Bartimeus calls one human woman forward and points towards the door. "Go to Qwerk's and buy some firewood. The pyre will start in an hour." Then his attention returns to the group. "Thank you for bringing him up. We'll see to his arrangements."
