Entry #134 - The Halls of Justice

(G134 09/03/2012 - BG - JF(GM) , AP)

Stripped of most of his possession, Fenrir spent the night in a cell in the Blackstaff Tower.

He also realised that magic did not work here.

DAY 119 (9th Flamerule)

In the morning Fenrir was carted to the Halls of Justice which was not far from the tower. A few locals gawped at him and pointed at him, 'They caught "The Darkness"!'

He was then lead into the Halls and then down a series of tunnels and stairs to deep below the city in a sealed off section of the Undermountain. He was thrown into a ruined cavern that had once been used as some sort of temple.

There were statues and fallen pillars about the place with three side rooms and the front all barred off to keep them in.

Magic did not work here.

There were five prisoners also in here :

Riffle - a rogue who at first tried to steal Fenrir's boots

Trellor - some sort of human sorcerer

Wenvelle - his girlfriend

Leben - a dwarven craftsmen who hid in one of the dark chambers at the back until food was brought out

Nodger - a half-orc warlock that hid in one of the other dark chambers

It was impossible to track time down in this dark pit, but at what Fenrir considered lunchtime a big cauldron of food was brought in by the guards and place inside the prison.

Riffle was there first and stated to Fenrir that he would eat his fill before anyone else.

This led to a fight though and Riffle drew a small sharpened bit of metal (a 'shiv') to attack while Fenrir picked up and threw rocks. Both injured in the battle Riffle stepped back and called a truce.

They agreed that together they would get first pick on the food. After them came Leben and Nodger, then picking up the scraps Trellor and Wenvelle.

DAY 120 (10th Flamerule)

Today Fenrir formed a sort of allegiance with Leben and agreed that he could sleep in the dwarf's room in return for a bigger share of the food. Riffle did the same with Nodger.

Each meal today Fenrir and Leben took an equal share with Riffle and Nodger.

This left nothing for the other two.

In the evening Wenvelle, starving, offered sex to Fenrir in return for food.

Also today, Fenrir's uncle Baeron was brought in, badly beaten and weak.

Fenrir dragged him into the dwarf's room and shared his food with him. Baeron explained that he had been fighting De Rosen in a battle of nerves and clever moves but eventually he had been defeated and captured by the inquisition.

DAY 121 (11th Flamerule)

Today a sorcerer called 'Zoltan the Magnificent' was dragged into the prison by the guards. He was a known and successful magical performer in Waterdeep.

He was very indignant at his arrest.

Today Trellor was taken away by the guards.

DAY 122 (12th Flamerule)

When the first meal of today arrived Fenrir managed to persuade the others to defend the cauldron from the greed of Riffle and Nodger. While Fenrir fought the rogue and was badly stabbed the others pelted them with rocks.
