Recap
Episode 3: The Hall of Natural 20's begins with Pyrilynn, Cae, Sai, and Rhys going to go find a ship to take them to Iwyx Point. Silen, Faolán, and Hathus go to find out who the two dead people and the missing girl are from the farm house by going to a neighboring farm.

Upon arriving at the docks, Pyrilynn discovers there are four ships large enough to take the whole party. The first Captain she asks is a female dwarf named Esinora on her ship named the Little Eel. Though Esinora would be happy to take them she tells them that she is headed to Brevoortia first and that it would take them a month to arrive in Iwyx Point. They decide that's too much time and move on to find a different ship.

The next ship is Captained by a human female named Livi of the ship The Sea Wench. She tells them she is sailing directly to Iwyx Point and that it would be five hundred gold each for passage. Pyrilynn tries to negotiate with her and Livi tells them that she would grant them free passage if they will steal an artifact from a man that owns a museum that owes her money. The group decides they would rather not get into any trouble they don't need to and try another ship.

The next ship they try is the Burning Hangman a pirate ship who's captain is on the dock. The half orc captain tells the group that they are going to Nekora and rudely states he wouldn't take them anyway they were too short. Pyrilynn flips him off and Rhys was angry and cast friends on him and tried to get him to walk off the dock, it unfortunately didn't work.They quickly moved on to the last ship.

The last ship they tried was the Uncultured Rose captained by a human man named Chadler. As soon as Pyrilynn started talking to him he started flirting with her. He told her they were going to the Ahip Coast and that he wasn't willing to stop at Iwyx because there was people there that didn't like him.

The group begrudgingly decides to accept Captain Livi's offer and get details from her including a layout of the museum and that the artifact that they are after is a Circle of Joining. They head back to Bogarts to meet up with the rest of the party. The other party was already there.

Faolán, Hathus, and Silen go to one of the other farms and talk to an older elven couple. . They tell the group that the couple they found dead was named Dawson and Clarice. The girl was named Skyler and had blonde hair and blue eyes and was average. She was seven years old. Thier last name was Fenven and they had family in Ravenswood. The group tells the elven couple to make sure to lock thier doors and that it is not safe. They tell them if they see anything strange to send word to Felix.

The party all gathers at Bogarts and Discuss plans for stealing the circle Livi wants. Silen does not like the idea but eventually concedes and him and Sai take thier heavy armor off to be quieter for the break in. The party has no problem getting in the museum with the help from an illusion from Rhys. Upon entering the museum the party is met with an animated blue dragon skeleton. The party figures out the password is "it" and that they have to get the skeleton to say the password. Pyrilynn tries to run by the skeleton only to get smacked twice before she stops. She enters a different room and finds a painting of Scorthear her deity and says a prayer before taking the painting.

Cae finally gets the skeleton to say the password by getting it to do a tourist speech about the museum. This floor seems to be cultural exhibits. The group heads toward the next floor finding a door with five locks. Despite the locks being there none of them are locked or trapped and the group realizes that Livi was right when she said the owner was dumb. On the next floor the party finds all the plants of the world. In front of the stairs to go down to the next floor they find another trap. this one is a teeter totter that dumps you into a hole. Cae and Silen balance it enough that Cae can get across and push the button to stop the seesaw effect. the party heads down to the third floor where the magic items are.

As soon as the party gets int the main hall of the third floor down there are three animated armor suits that come to life and a battle begins. Pyrilynn runs for the first door she see's and looks for the item they are after but finds other stuff instead. The battle rages for only a short time as many members of the group roll natural 20's for critical's. Even after the battle the group rolls several natural 20's in skill checks allowing them to find all sorts of magical items including weapons armor and other useful items. this episode ends with the group looting the museum....
