After leaving the sanitarium , we formulated a plan to sneak back in to investigate Dr Snow's lab. After some deliberation, we landed on a plan to impersonate some guards to make our way back into the sanitarium.
Using our knowledge of the guard patrol, we made our way to the closest Sally guard rotation with the plan of bribing the guards to get their uniforms.
We encounter two guards on patrol in a nearby neighborhood. Snax walked up to the guards and laid on a story about a drunken bet to get a few guard uniforms; with the prize being a free drinks every night for the next three weeks
The guards were pretty amicable to the idea, asking to be paid for the evening, and any incidentals that might come up from us having their uniforms.
The guards had no additional clothing, so it was up to Nitro to craft some quick threads to replace the uniforms. She decided they would look great in kaftans, and got to work...
She made the first Kaftan pretty good, but blew it on the second one and ended up with just a loin cloth. Partial success is still a success!
Nitro and Otto took the uniforms, Snax borrowed Nitro's hat of disguise, and disguised himself as a gnome guard....Guard En Nome.
Otto bandaged his face to disguise himself. Snax cast illusion on Nitro - who chose the form of a big boobed Elvira.
Snax knocked on the door, Wadsworth answered, and Snax told him that they had received a noise complaint and we would need to check around. After some awkward back and forth, we worked our way into the sanitarium, and headed to the basement
Otto was able to find a secret door in what at first appeared to be a normal basement/food storage situation.
Nitro barrel rolled through where Otto suspected the secret door would be, she found herself face to face with another Nitro that looked exactly like here, mirroring her every movement. The rest of the game followed her in to find mirror versions of themselves looking at each other.
After some testing which included
the group realized that the way through was to "be kind to yourself".
The doppelgangers all moved out of the way, and we proceeded to strut through the door at the end of the room, into an inky blackness that revealed
We entered a big room that was flooded up people's calves. The far end of the room had an open portcullis. In the middle of the room was an altar with a dead body laying in it. Well, the top half of a body, cut jaggedly at the waist.
Otto investigated the body further, it appeared to be a fresh kill. The body appeared to be wearing guard attire.
We moved on to the portcullis, and walked through....
We walked into the room, and found there were a couple of people in the room who claimed that they killed the last guards who came in.
Initiative rolled.
