Bailey Spills The Beans

Pled is dead. His poor head has bled, as you said.

Bailey has cracked. The former infantryman, who has been hunted by the law for the last 3 years since he killed a prostitute in a drunken rage, had fallen in with the Dragon Below cult out of desperation. But not because he believed in their sectarian babbling. Faced with a pair of adventurers who had systematically cut through the various guards and monsters protecting the cult's secret headquarters, Bailey gave up. He talks rapidly, but tiredly. He does not want to run anymore. He'll tell you what you want to know, and then he'll face the law.

"I know where Kegga is," he says tiredly. "I am tired of all of this. I'll face the law. I'll tell you where to find some good swag on this level and what to expect below, especially that construct that they got working again."

Bailey fishes in a puch and tosses Castille a flask. It is the antidote. "We had to keep some of it on us in case of an accidental infliction. Whatever." (Sense Motive DC -20, he is telling the truth.) He then takes off his armor. "By the Mockery I am tired of this tin shirt."

Bailey gives you more details here, and sketches some maps. Aside from the food and stuff on this level, and the coins the men were gambling with, Bailey tells you that behind the trapped door is the good swag, and that the shifter cleric keeps some fo his best stuff in there.

There is also a set of masterwork manacles to keep Bailey from going anywhere.

Your decision as to try the trapped door or to go down now. Of course you still have to deal with all the bells rigged on that ladder...
