After our discovery of a hidden passageway, the revelation of the baron's Kin being a known practitioner of Magics, and the strange magical artifacts we discovered at the keep I am beginning to think that this may be my big break.
Unsurprisingly my thoughts prove once again to be astoundingly correct. When we returned uninhibited to the keep we discovered just past the secret painting room a dungeon. Not just the kind of broad nonsense categorization that plagues all ruins, dens, and caves, but a real dungeon with bars and a skeleton. Though the unfortunate soul inside was one spoon short his freedom we found little else in their possession save for a hidden cryptic note. “Hope is another spoon” wrapped around the utiensal. Since it was clearly not the chap who left it my mind wonders to who did. Perhaps some malevolent trickster god? Or a particularly jokey warden? Regardless we soon discovered that the dungeon was not uninhabited as a troupe of skeletons sprung on us from behind. Strangely all passages behind us were either locked or of the secret variety. My hypothesis thus is that they must have been let in! But if the owner of this manor is watching us then how? Could one of my allies be a spy? Well it wasn’t the halfling we met in town as she quickly fell prey to an axe before a few well placed bolt shots and Rarder's axe dispatched the foes and we left.
