[[Maggot]]s came out of it! The dead frog's legs had been bitten off. ### Giant Fly Stables [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - We found two [[Giant Blue and Green Fly|giant flies]] here that came from a trapdoor in the ceiling. - There are a lot of animal carcasses on the floor here. ### Sinkhole room [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] ![[av-sinkhole-room.png]] - There were a lot of [[Mitflit]]s here, holding a small blue grub. They all seemed to be trying to grab it. - Huge sinkhole in the centre of the room. 10 foot deep, with patches of fungus at the bottom. - There is a 7-foot tall skeleton in armor made of gnarled roots and rusted metal and a morningstar. Mitflit crosses in front of the skeleton and opens the double doors at the end to get to a walkway that connects to the [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Fogfen Watchtower]] from here, but it's only light enough for mitflits to use as it's a system of planks. - Spiral staircase hidden in the rubble, but it would take a week to clear it. ### Dead kobold [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Half-decayed body of a kobold at the edge of a pond - Skeleton? (I think this is where the painted wooden skeleton was, but I'm not sure) ### Mitflit Throne Room [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Big double doors go into this room - Demolished walls, but lots of rubble loosely stacked as a throne - This is where we met [[Boss Skrawng]], supposed king of the [[Mitflit]]s. ### Entrance to the Underground [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] According to [[Boss Skrawng]], we have to go to the pier on the northwest side by the boat. Underneath that is the passageway going belowground. ### Lighthouse [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Trapdoor about 100 feet above that we couldn't open. We need thieves' tools! - Metal spiral staircase to the trapdoor (90 feet up) - Blood stain in the centre of the room that won't go away and we don't know where it comes from. - [[011_20220702 King of the Mitflits#^521f09|Skram knows]] that there was an evil sorceress that was defeated here by [[The Roseguard]]. ### Alcove Toilet [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Triangular corner of the wall that seems solid but there was a seam there that slid open to reveal this area - It doesn't seem to have been used for a while, and is just big enough for a toilet... but it can't be a toilet because why would they hide a toilet? ### Resting Place of the Kobold Ghosts [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Ruined tapestries and side tables - Remains of a dining table pulverized by fallen ceiling - This was where The Haunt by the [[Kobold Ghosts]] happened. ### Lair of Claw Claw [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - lair where they keep [[Claw Claw]]. - The ceiling has fallen in here, so we had to climb over the rubble and into a hole on the ceiling of this room. Athletics check to get up (DC 10) and go down into the hole. - The collapse of the ceiling was intentional. - There's a flight of stairs that led to a now-ruined upper floor - There's a second double door to the north with a stone face, and the doors are caked with moss. ### Library with a Secret Staircase [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Open door - Shelves with papers and books that have rotted - Wooden desk in a secret drawer where we got some vials - Door to north to [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Triangular Room]] - Rotating shelf on the eastern wall that functions as a handle, revealing a staircase going down to [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Interrogation Room]] ### Triangular Room [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Divan, armoire, and tapestries that are all decayed - Ceiling is intact. - Arrow slits from the northern wall. - In the divan we find a key ring with two rings. One is a large rectangle. - Behind the tapestry is a secret door! It goes to the eastern door, past the scorpion and leads to [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Secret Sinister Shrine]] ### Secret Sinister Shrine [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - You can get to it from [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Triangular Room]]. - Humanoid corpse of a thief by the door from the triangular room. Looks like he was trying to leave. - Wall of carved skulls leads to a small temple and altar to [[Grotus]]. - Three short steps to the north, where there is a circular dais and white stone altar. - Large stained glass windows behind the altar (about 20 feet tall) that Bond broke and shattered. Each one depicts a four-pointed orange star. ### Lighthouse Copola [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Opened by the non-rectangular key that we got in a divan in [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Triangular Room]]. - Rows of black metal bars encase the circular chamber like a cage. - Shimmering waves of force flicker between bars. Looks like glass. - Floor to the north has a trap door. - Pale blue shimmer from Gauntlight's lantern. It's a man-sized glowing ball of light attached to a pedestal (5-foot diameter). - We built a (pretty flimsy) wooden shield around [[The Gauntlight's Lantern]]. ### The Boathouse [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Remains of a relatively fresh campfire. - This door has been forced open and carefully closed again within the last couple of weeks. - Shelves and boats within have decayed. - Boathouse is connected to a pier that has collapsed into the swamp. - There is a rowboat tied to the piling that has been much more recently built than this dock. - Contraption in the boathouse that was used to move things between the boathouse and boats docked here, but it's in disrepair. - Bond finds smoked salmon in fish-shaped doughy pastries in the boat. They're old but not rotten. They taste good. He also finds a carving of a flying bird decorating the inside of the boat near the bow of the boat. He has seen this mark before in [[Crook's Nook]]. This is the mark of [[The Osprey Club]]. ### Cavern of the Sea Serpent [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Flooded cavern underneath the pier by [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#The Boathouse]]. - Tangle of roots from the pier hanging at the ceiling of the cavern. - Inside the cavern, there is a 3-foot gap of air where we could breathe. It's 10 feet of swimming to get from the pier to the cavern. - Ash saw a dark shape inside-- it's definitely the [[Sea Serpent]] or dragon that [[Boss Skrawng]] warned us about. It's got wing-like fins and a jaw full of teeth, and it's covered in algae. ### Tangletop's Study [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Study with pages torn from books. - We saw [[Tangletop]] here. ### Paintings of the past [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] There are some paintings here: - Absalom in flames, with ghosts rising from city streets between burning buildings. *So Shall The Fools Suffer.* - Gauntlight Keep as it appeared before the upper floors collapsed. - Lighthouse emits a pale blue light and in the light there are ghostly faces sneering and grimacing. *Let The Light Shine Forever*. - Woman with a high collar. *The Lady of the Light*. On the stone right next to it, there's something written in a language none of us know. (This is probably [[Belcorra]]!) [[Skram]] left a snare on one of the doors here. Exits: - East: [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Tangletop's Study]] - South: [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Tinkerer's toyroom]] ### Tinkerer's toyroom [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Workshop for making mechanical contraptions. - Soggy strings of dripping moss. - Carpet of broken glass that could be dangerous. Difficult terrain. - We found a bejeweled spyglass here, and the [[Soulbound Doll]] bird that had been abandoned by [[Volluk Azrinae]]. ### Groundskeeper's Closet [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - 20x20 square room filled with shelves, planks. - Seems like it was for maintaining the grounds. Gardener or Groundskeeper's tools. ### Staircase on island [[The Gauntlight Level 1 - Mitflits#Map|Back to map]] - Spiral staircase leading down - Moss and fungus coats the staircase. - Less than 5' in diameter. - Nobody has gone here in a long time.
