MATT: You don’t see that, but you know. The
basement below. There are three separate chambers:
one that’s for holding, one that’s for breaking,
which is torture, and the one that is for display
if they have any final approvals by the Jagontoth
family that has an idea of where they should be sent to.
SUMALEE: This is our best chance, because there
are no Iron Shepherds here.
ASHLY and SAM: We don’t know.
LIAM: They could be inside. This is not any better
than our chances on the road.
MARISHA: Well, then we do one of two things. We
either send in Nila as a mouse to scout to see if
The Iron Shepherds are in there, or we wait and we
watch and we see who comes in and out. Watch the
guard shifts, see when the changeover is.
SUMALEE: I want to go in.
MARISHA: A guard shift would be the most opportune
time to attack. When they’re changing shifts.
ASHLY: Do we have any interest in trying to get
more people?
SAM: Sure. Yes. I don’t know how much money we
have.
ASHLY: Do I have a sense of how expensive the
Grudge Gang is?
MATT: You’ve never hired any of them, so you’re
not sure, but the way to ask would be to go find them.
LIAM: Looking through Frumpkin’s eyes, was I able
to see the entrance through this wall that the
guards are up top on? What’s the way in here?
MATT: On the opposite end, it looks to be
ladders.
LIAM: No gate or doorway at all?
MATT: Oh, sorry. I thought you meant how they got
up onto the wall, my apologies. There is a gate in
the front and there is a gate in the back. The
gate in the back is– actually, both gates are two
dark wood doors that have a brace set down that
holds them in place that is held and controlled
from the interior.
LIAM: Solid?
MATT: Solid.
LIAM: None of this?
MATT: On both sides it looks like a single brace
that comes down from one side.
ASHLY: The back gate, is that pressed against the
forest?
MATT: Both gates have about a ten-foot open space
before it reaches forest. There are stumps and
there are places where trees were cleared out,
specifically to give that opening so that they’d
have a good idea and good visual on anybody who’d
attempt to approach.
MARISHA: Keg, do you know if these people would
have a secret entrance into the basement, to the
dungeon area? Tunnels?
ASHLY: Do I have some sense of that?
MATT: You didn’t work close enough with them to
know of any secret passage. I mean, it makes
sense. There might be one, but nothing that you’ve
come across. If there is one, it’s a well-guarded
secret. You have no idea.
ASHLY: Has anything changed since last I was here,
