The Dented Phylactery
| [The Dented Phylactery - 27165]
|
|
| Dark and dingy, the small shop is filled with cloying scents and a stifling heat that is produced by a bronze brazier that occupies an entire corner. Wide shelves take up much of the wall space, while a long glass counter stands guard over a narrow oak door and a large worktable covered with a variety of devices.
|
| Obvious exits: out
|
On the large worktable you see:
Misc [2]: a row of glass beakers, a glass and pewter alembic
The Dented Phylactery, Storage
| [The Dented Phylactery, Storage - 27166]
|
|
| Ringed by bookcases, the cramped storage room is cluttered with supplies for making draughts, potions, elixirs, and all manner of remedies. Dried herbs dangle from the exposed rafters of the ceiling, while the floor is crowded with crates and boxes. Various tools are housed upon the only free wall, which is bisected by a narrow oak door that leads to the front room. An errant breeze from behind the furniture, perhaps from a unseen window, carries with it a hint of brimstone.
|
| Obvious exits: none
|
Behind the bookcases you see:
Misc [1]: a small iron-bound trapdoor

Den of the Poisoned Heretics
| [Den of the Poisoned Heretics - 27167]
|
|
| Packed dirt walls are supported by thick wooden posts that lend the large root cellar a hickory scent that is at odds with the choking scent of brimstone that rises from a central brazier. Draped upon one wall is a bright blue banner, which is in far better shape than the garish rugs thrown upon the floors. Three of the four corners open up into archways that lead deeper into the den, while the final corner houses a long rough oak table covered in wares. You also see a small iron-bound trapdoor.

| Obvious exits: northeast, southwest, northwest

On the long rough oak table you see: a linen-corded metallic phial sheathed in sheer raw muslin, a silk-padded sharp pewter phial strung on a thin suede loop and a shadowy blue linen cloak with an amethyst phial clasp.

The Poisoned Heretics, Lounge
| [The Poisoned Heretics, Lounge - 27170]
|
|
| Garish rugs are haphazardly thrown upon the packed dirt ground, their overlapping lengths creating lumpy piles. Overstuffed leather couches, some with stuffing clearly poking out of the ripped cushions, are scattered about the space, while a single low table sits in one corner covered with several dishes of food.
|
| Obvious exits: northeast
|
On the a single low table you see:
Containers [1]: a vert-tinged blown glass demijohn
Food/Drink [4]: a gold-swept blood red apple, a segment of cured cheddar cheese, a medallion of hickory-smoked boar, some garlicky oiled peasant bread

The Poisoned Heretics, Planning
| [The Poisoned Heretics, Planning - 27168]
|
|
| Thin sheets of plywood stretch between the thick hickory support posts of the walls and are anchored in place by large wrought iron nails. Half-melted candles rests at the four corners of a large oak table that occupies the center of the room, their flickering light providing just enough illumination by which to view the maps that are on display.
|
| Obvious exits: southwest

On the large oak table you see:
Misc [1]: a large parchment map
The Poisoned Heretics, Leader
| [The Poisoned Heretics, Leader - 27169]
|
|
| Coarse walls of stucco encircle the office, the irregular surface covered with a bright blue paint that almost completely obscures the off-white color underneath. Lanterns hang from the exposed rafters of the ceiling and provide ample illumination for an enormous iron and wood desk that occupies the center of the space. A simple linen flag is nailed to the wall near the exiting archway.
|
| Obvious exits: southeast

On the enormous iron and wood desk you see:
Containers [1]: a dented pewter decanter wrapped in dirty linens
