In which our heroes ...

We continue to plan the Ardanian Job.

Our info sources tell us the following:

The treasury building in new construction in the last several years. 4 story building, upper 3 stories are offices. All windows are barred and closed, shuttered at night. The entire building is warded.

First floor contains daily vault, used for most transactions on a daily basis. Money goes in and out of this vault regularly, so the main vault door is kept open. First floor is like a bank teller area with guards aplenty. There is also a secured passage (guards, gate) from the front lobby to the rear lobby which is the main security station as well as where stairs up and down are. There is no rear entrance.

Basement contains main vault. Usually only opened at the close of the day to either take in excess money from the daily vault or replenish it for the next day's operations. It can be opened at other times if an urgent request comes in that cannot be filled by the daily vault. Basement also has workshops for jewelry maintenance, gem cutting, etc. Occassionally, the main vault will be opened to accommodate those operations also.

The main vault has an additional ward on it, separate from the building ward. The walls are steel and have additional exotic materials either lining the inside or sandwiched into the wall layers; the exotic materials are likely stuff like kregora, eog, etc. It is also known that the main vault has a number of symbols inscribed on the inner walls. No one can get the exact layout of the interior of the main vault, however.

Guards are posted at all the obvious spots and have a daily password. Your agents believe they can get you the password for any particular day, but the more they do it, the more likely it is someone will get word that the password is leaking. All guards have a special alarm device (push button to trigger) on them. Guards walk regular beats down all hallways. Each floor also has several dogs that walk the beats with their handlers.

There is a sewer system.

Alynna and Oathar head to talk to her doobie Giris in his philosophical correction center. He gets us some scrolls of Shadow Assassin.

That nght, we portal into the side of the Ardanian records hall and get maps of the sewer systems.

We head into the sewers to check things out and Oathar and Alynna get sick and retreat. Haeraan investigates behind a bricked up wall in the direction of the vault and detects all kinds of undead, high level, medium level, ghosts, skeletons, etc. Haeraan has some dreams about the undead.

He dreams of a bush with a whole bunch of cocoons. Butterflies come out. They crawl around the bush. An animal comes by and then they all fly up in a tizzy.

He dreams of our villa where the servants are doing out laundry over and over again. The backyard is filled with drying laundry. White sheet fluttering in the wind. They look humanoid and ghosty in the wind.

He dreams of sitting on a park bench and slowly he realizes that he's being watched. Whenever he sits on a different park bench these eyes come to watch him. Only by leaving the park can he escape them.

He dreams of putting bricks into a brick wall. Brick after brick. But every so often there's a special brick that are a different color. Something seems to tell him to use the bricks of a different color once in a while. It's the right thing to do.

We retreat to consider.
