It was a new beautiful morning, Smippeth was still upset about the lost frog but overall they got a good deal out of the Redbrand hideout. They got also a lot of good stuff to sell, stones, earrings, and other valuable pieces. They decided to go to Phandalin’s Miner Exchange to sell it all. The warlock managed to trick the owner into buying everything at full price and everybody ran away before she could realize she was tricked.
The group’s new mission was to find the Cragmaw Castle, but not before buying some healing potions at Barthen’s provisions and sme new armors at the Lionshield Coster. They asked Linene at the Lionshield Coster if she knew the Cragmaw Castle. She had heard of it but she didn’t know about the location.
The paladin went to talk to Sister Garaele at the Temple and she was able to share the location of the Castle. It was in the southwest corner of the Neverwinter Wood.
Full of energy, the adventurers walked towards the Cragmaw Castle, without making any encounters along the way. When they got there they saw that the Castle consisted of seven crumbling towers of different sizes and heights, but the upper stories were all in varying states of collapse. A short flight of steps led up to a terrace in front of the main entrance. The main door was wrecked and past it they entered a hall. Round towers loomed over that passageway and clearly visible there were arrowslits.
Passed the main double door, they saw two more closed doors to the north and south, with a mound of rubble partially obscuring the southern hall. To the east, a broad corridor ends in two more doors leading south and east. The corridor was cluttered with rubble and fallen rocks from a partial collapse of the ceiling overhead.
