Gareth gingerly gets all the clothes comfortable...

In reply to Gareth (msg # 682):

"If you all would escort me back to rhe surface..."

In reply to Rushagorn Brokadin (msg # 683):

"Ready when you are."

In reply to Gareth (msg # 684):

Melchizedek just nods and looks to Johan...

She looks at the half-orc "Yes, let us head back up so you can recruit that army" she says with a smile, knowing he will not.

OK, We go up, I also have things to do.

In reply to Johan Stark (msg # 687):

After some fond farewells, your group, plus Rush and Lacuda, who has been loaded in
 her bathtub onto Rush's platform/cart, all begin to make the ascent. Mythos the
artificer has reinforced the bolck and tackle setup, and installed some redundant
pulleys, and has built a fairly stable  platform that can lift six of you, or two
and the tub.
As you ascend, you can see the beams he set into the walls to support the lifting
mechanism, and he has expanded and framed the hole in the side of the dome i to a
full sized doorway with a gate. There are even locking bars to fix the platform in
place.

Impressive...

In reply to Johan Stark (msg # 689):

Gareth, unaware of what is new, as it is all new to him, looks around in silence.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 690):

Gareth is an an arched sloping tunnel, about 3 yards high by four wide. To one side, sloping up, is a dimly seen massive porticullis. To the other direction is a sturdy looking dwarf wiith about eight kobolds, standing in front of an equally distant bronzework gate.

"This is the kind of quality  work you get to see when a dwarf is on
the job."

"Now we can figure out what to do next, after a nice dinner and such"

In reply to Belgar (msg # 691):

Recognizing Dwarfs, Gareth responds.

"Likely to last a thousands years then, unless some battle or idiot destroys it! Will be here when we get back, Sorcha. Lets go find some nice food then!"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 693):

Once down the smoothly paved part of the corridor, you come upon a kobold operated bronze and ironwork spiked gate, which they lower like a drawbridge.  The space beyond is very rough, with fresh signs of repair over an old collapse. This area soon leads to a wooden ramp over a rough cave, and down into more recent, and slightly damper construction.

You can hear the bustling sounds of kobolds in the near distance.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 694):

Gareth just follows the others...

She will lead the group up and heads to a tavern to get food and drink.

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 696):

Melchizadek will follow as far as the city streets, and then head to the local temple to pray.

As they pass up into the "Guild proper" Ulo will pipe up, fully re-emerging from hiding/trying to be unobtrusive.

"Is this where I can find that murderous blue-haired elf?"

Probably... but ya can't fight in here.

In reply to Johan Stark (msg # 699):

Kobolds scatter as your group emerges, and heads up the ramp to the main hall.

The hall is filled with all manner of mercenaries, miscreants, mountbanks, and rogues. A large man of obvious ogrish lineage is talking with a woman directing kobolds to collect bowls. Beside a large fireplace, these vagabonds are lining up with empty bowls to enter the kitchen, and coming out the other side with full bowls and hunks of stale bread.
Above, on the balcony, you can see the small vendors at their stalls. This is the main hall of tbe guild.

Lacuda thrashes in her tub.

Ulo tries to focus on Stark, but can't stop herself from trying to see everything at once.

"Really?  What's to stop me?"

Everyone in here and the Guards which are not a minor issue alone... multiple magic users too. Fighting in here is strictly Taboo ... recommend you don't cross that one. Step outside and ya can do as ye please.

In reply to Ulo (msg # 698):

A one handed woman looks up as you enter
"Oh, Christine! She left town maybe three days ago."

In reply to Szuzana (msg # 703):

"Are you sure? I could swear I saw her over in tbe Wastrel last night.

She looks at her group "Lets find someplace quitter to have some dinner and ale. I am not sure I trust most of them and some don't like shadow elves like me"

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 705):

"Sure. Lets. And perhaps when I get some cash I can buy some pants you dont need to recreate after every firebath!"
