Immersive Ink

OK then, we have a couple of routes available at the moment:

1) West. This is the direction the charmed fighters came from, perhaps we will confront Ozminster.
2) North. Past the wyvern room where we found the non-charmed fighters.

Perhaps we should first investigate the Wyvern's cage to see if we could open it. Not that we'd want to open it now, but it could be a good diversion if we need to retreat/flee across this room later we could let the wyvern out to delay our pursuers.

Franklin already figured out how to open the wyvern cage using a pull chain next to the door (while he was scouting invisibly). He shares this information with the group and suggests we go confront Ozminster.

You open the door onto a large, irregular, pillared room

From the door, the east wall goes 10' north. The north wall goes 50', with large carved mermaid status in each 10' square. The south wall, immediately to your left, goes 10', then opens into the room proper, with a dolphin statue right where it opens, and another along the west wall. The west wall goes at least 30', and probably more, but is obscured

You see a handful of armed and waiting orcs. One calls "Boss, we gots enemies here"

"'Enemies'? We've come with a deal for Ozminster!" Maloof pipes.

The hobbets have their arrows knocked in case the orcs do not fall for Maloof's ruse.

Aldbane stands ready, waiting to see the Orcs' response.

"Boss, they say they come to deal" yells an orc

A screechy, irritating voice echoes out. "What deal? You come from Thoth to kill me!"

"We barely met the guy, we're hardly in league with him," Maloof replies dismissively. "We came to see what we can do for you."

"Bring me his head, and I will reward you with three magic items from my collection, plus a new 3rd level spell I researched"
