PRE-NOTES

SPINNING UP BREWER's OTTO TUNE

• Player: Brewer Slack
• Character: Otto Tune
• From: Athkatla
• Age: 36
• Left Athkatla: 8 years ago
• Why: On the run from a tyrant (who may or may not be still chasing him) 

TEAM BACKGROUND

• The adventure started in the city of CIMBAR
• NESDALYNN: I've arrested the whole party
• And has a box of drugs impounded back in town 
• YESDI: We're chasing a book
• EMERY: I love books
• OLOTUI: I'm under arrest (prime suspect in the book theft)
• Chased a book across the sea and up a shaft
• WHY are we chasing the book? 
• YESDI heard that an artifact was important and this book may or may not be it
• NES is a law-born and must see the book returned
• EMERY was there when the book was stolen
• OLOTUI was a squirrel 
• Crashed the ship, landed on the island, came in through a cave, came up a shaft, fought/explored through several rooms in a dungeon beneath a castle
• When last we left the team, they'd defeated three ANKHEG (in room 31) ... THEN moved EAST and SOUTH through lengthy corridors to investigate a trapped, locked strong wooden door. After opening it, they enter room 28.

ROOM 28

• Unlocks trapped door after taking damage from a ICE DART TRAP
• Once inside, they find an injured TIEFLING chained to the wall (yep, that's Otto Tune).
• NES heals OTTO for 1 hp, bringing him to consciousness. 
• OTTO - "I was running and they found me and brought me here"
• "I've got nothing to hide"
• NES - "I think we should leave him, let's not break the local laws by freeing him"
• OTTO - begs to be released
• A discussion ensues over the legality of killing dungeon monsters and freeing prisoners
• NES - "Did you have a trial?"
• OTTO - "I did not"
• A discussion ensues over whether or not OTTO is trying to bribe NES
• YESDI points out that the bribe is illegal and encurages NES to arrest OTTO, which he does. 
• NES "unlocks" the chains without causing MORE damage to OTTO
• The team investigates the room for 30 minutes while NES interrogates the prisoner
• INVESTIGATION: 
• SW corner - 2 secret doors in the WEST wall
• LEFT DOOR: unlocks a secret door into another 50x30 room (#18 empty)
• THAT room has 2 doors in the N and E walls
• RIGHT DOOR: on the other side is a storage compartment containing OTTO's stuff. 

And the audio ends there ... :(
