Pretty sure I mentioned it earlier, but given the nature of the game, I am being a stickler on encumbrance as well as a hard limit on the number of lines of stuff they can carry - 30 standard items not counting food drink or coin, and 8 magic items. This applies to LINES of items - 6 arrows is 1 line. 2 healing potions is 1 line. 1 potion of healing and a potion of flight is 2 lines. 6 arrows and 1 crossbow bolt is 2 lines.

THREE HUNDRED NINETY SIX
(I/C)
Bending down, Lannis picked up Mirabellis’ wizard’s hat (Add to Inventory [1]), admiring it as he turned it back and forth. "Dibs on her hat," he said, placing it on his head. He then placed his larger pink hat over it and pulled it down in place.
“De hat be all yers, Offop,” Wyn said with a smile. “Like de nice little flower on de front.”
“I’ll take that control undead, thanks,” Lyra said snatching it from the pile, “As for the healing potions, I’d like one of those too…but I seem to be full up for now so let’s wait till we get someplace where we can go through our stuff and move things around.” (Add Control Undead [5] potion to Magic inventory – full 8 lines). “Maybe we should hold onto those extra healing potions? Might come in handy if we find ourselves toe to toe with a dragon.”
"I don't need anything right now,” Lannis said, looking over the pile. “I say take something if you need, then we jam the whole mess and the chests into Abraxas's sack with everything else. Then we go drop it off in our spot, which has the added benefit of letting Motaro's spell work its magic.”
Brendon nodded, taking the Gaseous Form and Healing Potions (Add to Inventory, each [5]), “It’d be very unwise if we were to continue in our present condition.”
Taking one of the Healing potions and cracking the seal, Wyn gestured, “Iffin mes amis do it mind, I drink one of deze healing potions right now. Salazar, feel free to drink one of dem greater healings now.” (Heal Potion 1d6: Orange 6 – Heal 6!)
Taking one of the Extra Heal potions, Abraxas did the same (Extra Healing Potions 2d6: Blue 4, 4 = Heal 8!). "Señora L'okra, creo tu should bebes una potion ahora, si? Tu look similar a muerte. Una stone could drop from el ceiling y tu will be gone. Finito.” He snapped his fingers and nodded earnestly.
“Priestess, s'il vous plaît, drink dat potion you picked up now, en take another fer yer self later. You were unconscious 6 minutes ago en we do not want to repeat dat.”
Lyra waved her hand and motioned for the group to relax. “Aine is still doing the works, so I need a little bit to get the most out of the spell. We have some walking to do, if I need it, I’ll take it.”
Kovid picked up the Growth potion (Add to Magic Inventory) and looked around. “Anyone want to check the stairs and reset the traps to hinder those on the 1st floor? Or, we could deal with the shriekers in the garden and remove the bricks from the grate. I’d like to keep our way to the first floor open.”
The Cleric nodded, “Maybe we start working on the bricks in the garden? It would be a nice break from getting our asses kicked.”
Abraxas shook his head no, taking out his Bag of Holding and moving to one of the larger chests. “Dijo we should ir a el Vault, amigos. El Jardin no es safe. Decatipus, Los Guardianos, Smoplex - any uno de them could hear us and attack us, and we have no way out - backs to the wall. We should probably take a breather and heal a little - let Señora Lyrtira's majik finish. Take uno memento.”
Looking over the potions one last time, Wyn took the Fly potion (add to inventory) and then closed the lid of the chest. “I also take de fly potion fer de time bein'. May be handy in de dragon fight later,” he shrugged. “I be good wit tryin' to take care of doze harpies, Dwarfriend... but we need to prep a bit as Monsieur Offop said. I tink we should hide our new stuff back in de vault first en let us do some magic readin'.”
The Magic User held Mirabellis’ spellbook up before tossing it into the second chest again. “Wyn and I can go over Miradeadass's book, giving us a web scroll to use on the harpies if we want to clear the stairs. After that I don't know, siesta? Also, for no particular reason, do you think that other chest has enough room in it for a particularly gross dead skank?"
“Not unless you quarter her up,” Brendon said absently, looking the wizardress over.
“How the hell would you know that?”
Brendon just gave Lannis a long absent stare, before turning away and heading north to listen to the door out of the chamber.
The Magic User shook his head and said, “Pirates, Scouts, and Thieves. All in one.”
The group chuckled, Wyn gestured to Kovid who lifted one of the chests and allowed the elf and fighter to slither the bag under it. “Most importantly? Wyn be pretty hungry. Based on de light from de Duchess' old space, I'd say it be after noon by now. Food be good now, oui?” He nodded to himself and watched at Kovid lowered the chest SOO much deeper into the bag than it appeared from the outside. “Let us load deze chests into de bags, en get de Hel outta of dis place. Du Lac, is dere any reason we can't mark de outside of the chests? Like de traps wont go off?”
From the doorway, Brendon replied, “No. They’re not locked and I have the keys. Trap will only reengage if they are relocked.”
“Need me to mark de keys to show which goes wit which chest?”
“Nope. I’ve got it.”
Wyn shrugged, “Hokay.” The last chest was loaded and once done, the group gathered by the door to the north in leading to the hall. Lyra shuddered (Continuous Heal – 3rd surge. 1d4+1, White4+1=5. Heal 5 Damage!) as more of her wounds closed up. Once we were in position, Wyn used the powers of the guard uniform to unlock the door, whispering, “Allons-y.”
(WMC: Red/Black 3)
Brendon and Kovid started to lead the group away when Wyn indicated for them to wait. He then shut the door and wrote on it in chalk in Common, Orcish, and Goblin – to “leave her alone.” He grinned at the group, pointing to the goblin one where he indicated it actually read, “leave her the fuck alone.”. “Dat should buy us a little time I hope.”
We made our way slowly to the corner, turned to the north, and hearing nothing still, continued on our way towards the short hall outside the Summoning Circle. “Hss,” Wyn hissed again, and then when the group waited, he stepped forward and pirouetted about with his sword and shield, slashing and stabbing randomly up and down and around the hall as they made their way to the door. “You nevah know,” he whispered.
Once inside the short hall, we made our way north to the Summoning room where Wyn did his slashing jump and dancing thing, hoping to encounter any invisible beings. He didn’t.
Brendon handed Lyra his light coin, “Here Lass, drop your vial and let us in, he said.”
She nodded her thanks, let the vial go, and disappeared from sight. Lyra appeared inside the secret hall where with the yarn and the light, quickly went to the south wall and pressed the foot release, opening the secret door. The party all filed in and the door was shut again. Wyn opened the door to the Vault and the party all sighed with relief, shrugging off backpacks and taking a breather. Lyra shuddered again as her spell fired off a fourth time (Continuous Heal, 4th surge – Heal 1d4+1. Gold 3+1=4. Heal 4 Damage!). “One more coming,” she said.
As Abraxas lowered the bag of holding to the ground and fished out the two chests, he slid them over with his feet and then took out his rations to eat. “Maybe despues de we go to Jardin, maramos por Los Ghoulishes y usamos que Potion de Control Undead. Pero, we no can stay aqui, y tienemos dolor mucho. Necessitamos mas Health antes de luchamos las Harpiedas o Los Ghoulishes. Estamos en no condition para fight anyone right ahora."
“I’ll second that,” Lannis said with a smile. He tapped Lyra and handed him the artificer made doll of himself and said, “Here, do what you want to do.”
Lyra looked at the miniature version of Lannis and smiled broadly.
