Academy Expedition Group is on the quest Rats in the Basement
The party arrives at the Three Headed Horse tavern and is greeted by Joe and his wife. They explain that there are really big rats down in the cellar, but they cannot afford to leave it like that, it's where they store their food and barrels of ale and wine. The heroes agree to help them out for a small sum, and enter the dark and dusty basement.
Around one corner, the party meets a pack of hungry, aggressive rats. After a moment of hesitation on both sides, the rats swarm the group and attack.
There is a short battle with biting and scratching rats, but with their combined efforts, the party defeats the rats and continues.
The party takes a total of 6 points of damage, in marching order.
John of Earling takes 3 points of damage but his armour of 3 points prevents serious damage.
Ben Bonefinger takes 3 points of damage, minus 0 points of armour, losing 3 hitpoints.
As they find their way through the basement rooms, suddenly a small draft makes one of the torches flicker and they stop. A quick search reveals a hidden door. Carefully, they open it.
Just in time they see the tiny mechanism that is inside the frame and with some swift fingerwork, disarm it. As the door opens, a vial of poison gas becomes visible above the door. Inside is a storage room with long forgotten valuables.
All the foes vanquished, the party returns victorious, collecting their promised reward and free drinks for the rest of the month.
