intro

It is early night and you have been traveling far, but your destination is now withing sight. On the outskirts of the city you see the warm glow flickering through the windows and the smell of smoked meat and venison stew, from the smoke stack of the green dragon inn. As you approach you see a begger asking for alms at the foot of the stairs.

Guthrir hurries ahead to check on the beggar, to see if he's well and fed. He can spare coin, of course, and his blanket from his pack: a clean, well-mended winter blanket, if it's needed.
And he's also got his Curing magic if that's what's needed.

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 2):

The old beggar thanks Guthrir. Accepting his coin,healing,and gifts. After the healing magic has taken its effect the beggar stands upright. You notice he is an old human male. His long white beard stretches down to his knees and the top of his head is bare and bald as flag stone. " I am Kristoph." he says. Making an attempt at a high court bow. "I thank you stranger for your kindness. The winter is at an end ,but the chill remains. You have the look of a wanderer and a freelancer to boot. Many like you have come here seeking fame,riches,and adventure. You seek such things as well?" He pauses a moment. Then speaks " But let us leave this cold. The green dragon inn has a warm fire, food and drink. I myself seek such. A bath and room also thanks to your kindness." He urges you inside. " Please stranger your name. It would be improper to simply acknowledge you in the general and not the basics of the familiar. Take no offense at my question, I did the same with the other. He said his name was Gannor. He is a human but one I am unfamilar with."

"A' course I took no offense, brother," the dwarf exclaims with a dismissive wave. He talks as he follows the beggar to the inn. "Ah'm Guthrir, an umble servant a' me lady the Earthmother, bless 'er."
As he makes the last statement, he absently raises a golden rose from a fine chain around his neck to his lips and kisses it.
"And ah don't believe I caught yer name, good sir?"

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 4):

"I am Kristoph. I used to be a prospector and scout in these parts. Till the mine ran dry and Phlan fell to ruins. I was hoping with the new interest of the old city I could resume some measure of my old life. But I fell on hard times. Ah here we are."

Kristoph moves among the patrons of the green dragon inn . Around tables and chairs not once giving mind to the queer looks and looks of disgust he gets from several of the patrons. He moves beyond a trio of dragonborn mercenaries at a far table a stops in front of a table with a curious single owner. seated across from you is a human male unlike one you have seen in these parts. His complexion is dark too dark to be a native of the moonsea and the soft doeskin leathers he wears are cut a decorated in a peculiar manner. He is smoking on a thin long straight  pipe  the smell of sweet honey and fresh cut grass coming from its smoke. " May I present Gannor. An adopted name to be sure . As he says his real name Hawk Talon Cutter or some such. Also of recent entry to Phlan by way of crossing the Dalelands and through Hillsfar. He is a warrior of sorts." says Kristoph. "Although he is unlike any warrior or fighting man in attire or mannerism I have ever seen." he adds in a soft voice to Guthrir.

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 6):

Gannor looks at Guthrir and offers a pouch of the same sweetened tabacco. He puts his pipe down for a minute and speaks. " I am searching for adventure and a purpose in my life. I was brought here from my home , many,many moons journey across what you call the trackless sea to the west. As I am a man without a home or kinsmen I seek what and some of the things this land offers and to someday return home."
Kristoph chimes in, "We, he and I are a bit low on cash. I hope to make mine be helping newcomers settle in when they enter Phlan. Maybe even begin being a scribe. Adventure is not for me. Too many sharp claws and pointy things. Speaking of which Gannor here has recently purchased a small flop,....eerr "weathered home" in the not too outish outskirts of the city. Its patrolled,....some. And it is not too close to the ruins and monster filled areas of the city."

Gannor simply grunts an affirmation and pops a small cube of cheese in his mouth offering Guthrir some after. "It is a good place," he says. "A place way where a small bit of nature still holds sway." Kristoph nods, " It has a small living area and 4 small seperate rooms for people. It even has an open sky center garden with a single oak shooting to the sky. At least I think its a garden. A few small skull sized stones around it have Glyphs devoted to your own Goddess Guthrir. If my memory serves. Gannor and I were headed that way this very night,........after I begged a bit," he adds sheepishly

The handsome dwarf nods distractedly and mutters a few words of prayer as the barmaid comes with drinks. When she sets his before him, he produces a cut lilly in full bloom. She accepts the gift with a gasp and a shy giggle and promises to come check on the party again soon.
Guthrir turns back to Gannor and accepts the pouch of tobacco. He pulls out his own pipe, packs it, and lights up, then draws on it and sighs appreciatively.
"Oh, aye, that's good stuff." He takes another long drag and holds it with his eyes closed for a moment before his face turns serious. "A have no fixed engagements here. A need to poke me head in at the temple, say hullo; but after that Ah'm free as a baird. Yer little 'weathered home' sounds delightful, if ye'll hae me, an' A'd be happy te do some adventurin' wi' a fellow lover a' nature."

Maybe even the rumored dragon will need to be handled. One can only hope." In the time being we can retire to the small abode or we can wait here and see if any rumors or offerings for adventure are given."

Guthrir bellows a deep, hearty laugh. "Are ye daft? 'Ts ferr too early ta be tinkin' about bed now. A got three more ales comin' afore ahm through, an' a wee boonie lassie te charm, beside." He surveys the room for a moment before the barmaid starts toward him, but he just shakes his head at her and winks. "Dinnae fesh yerself aboot nae rumors," he continues to his new friends. "If there be rumors here, they'll be flowin' like the taps in the back afore the third round a' drinks hits our bladders. A been in enough bar rooms te ken a talkative crowd when A see one."

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 10):

Gannor nods and orders another round of ale for the table. Kristoph stands up saying," I will be heading upstairs to a wash room. Now that I have coin I am going to clean up and buy a fresh set of clothes. Don't eat all the food or drink all the ale until I get back."

Gannor rolled a 2 so he doesn't hear any rumors for the first half and hour. After an hour he rolled a 14, thats a success. On how many, he rolled a 4 on a D6. So four rumors are overheard.

Tavern Rumor
#1 There is a magic pool that grants eternal youth somewhere to the North in the Dragon Spine Mountains.

#2 The old castle on the small island on the river south of the city is ruled by some form of undead

#3 A secret coup among some of the council members of the city plan to move against the city rulers.

#4 a huge dragon has been seen in the skies near the mountain range. Sheep farmers claim it has been eating their sheep.

With each rumor and tavern tale Gannor between puffs of smoke from his pipe, perks his ears hoping to catch more tidbits.

What also catches his interest is a game of darts that has gone from peer play to boisterous gambling and laughter. Gannor fingers the silver coins in his pouch his eyes going to the game, to his pouch and back again.

In reply to Gannor (msg # 11):

Guthrir has been distracted by the 'wee bonnie lass', Merelda, a short blonde with a pixie cut, a sweet disposition, the hips of a goddess, and the face of an angel. His attentions are not without benefit, though, as they keep the refills prompt and the food service even prompter.
In a room full of loud, drunken people, good service is worth twice Merelda's weight in platinum.
After the fourth round of drinks, even Guthrir's dwarven constitution is ringing under the influence of cheap ale, but the druid's voice and his hand are still steady. He's been pacing himself.
In a low voice, he confides to Gannor, "Merelda says she got a second cousin or some such runs errands fer one a' the council members involved in that coup. She also says Denova, the cook and a mighty half-orc woman aside, haes family that tends sheep out t'ward the mountains. Says they've lost a few ta that wyrm." He grins. "The lass may look like a shepherdess, but she haes a sharp mind and keen ears. Ah'd bet there be some elf in her family."

Gannor smiles. The first broad smile of his the whole night. " This sounds like a lead(s). I wonder which we should check on first? Politics of this lands people are foreign and unknown to me. I am learning but I do not know the ins and outs as is said. As for the dragon,...his smile grows wider,... I have never seen this lands thunder lizards before. I hear they are impressive!"
He sets his broadsword on the table and begins to sharpen it with a wet stone. "This is a good blade," he says idly. Guthrir notices it is of elven make. With elven script and runes on it and made of silver to boot. The script and runes are of the elven court of the nearby Dalelands. "I will go on any quest you choose. Provided we purchase  horses before we leave."

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 16):

Gannor nods and leaves the table. Before he leaves he says he will be purchasing his own horse to be ready in the morning. He steps out into the night. Leaving the Green Dragon inn behind.


The next morning Gannor is at the city gates adjusting the straps on the saddle and lead on his horse. He purchased a Palomino and is waiting his turn to be checked by the local gate guard before leaving. The main gate is more of a wooden fort entrance. The massive beams and fortifications, cobbled together into and around the ruins of the old city gate. The gate guard a motley collection of  sell swords and city deputies, distinguishable from the mercs by their hastenly sewn uniforms of green and grey. The most Notable are a pair of tall warriors. Neither mercenaries or guardsmen. They have the look of fierce adventurers themselves. Giant northmen with full blonde beards and horned helmets. They shout out orders in in tongue Gannor can not identify but clearly orders to keep their fellows in line. Checking his belongings one last time. He secures again the few magical items he bought the previous night. He cast a look over to the side of town his small house is. He plucks the last two silver coins he has in his possession. He paid a local carpenter 3 silvers to repair the roof on his home. As it is likely he will be gone for some time and the leaking roof would become a problem of even greater cost once the spring rains begin in earnest. He looks over to the gate again to see a pair of Zhents from the nearby Citadel of the Raven riding out the gate. Catching a bit of familiar movement out the corner of his eye he turns and sees Guthrir's approach.

Guthrir is in a good mood as he walks up to the gate with his pack draped over one shoulder, shield strapped to his back, and axe hanging from his belt. A pony walks beside him without a bridle--obedient, if a little nervous. When he spies Gannor, the dwarf strides over purposefully, the pony right at his heels.

Gannor nods and they make their way to the front gate. [Make a D20 roll to recognize the two blonde warriors]
While one of the warriors leans on a massive axe (at least a meter and a half in length. The other walks over to Gannor and Guthrir.
" Cost to leave the city is one silver piece . This is by order of the council of Phlan. Reentry into the city is the same. The tax will stay in effect till the council sees fit." says the tall muscled warrior. " No exceptions and no returns of said silver. So what will it be?" He eyes the duo .

Gannor reaches into his pouch and pulls out one of his last two silver pieces. The blonde warrior collects his coin and produces a leather bound book. "Sign here." he says passing a quill to Gannor. Gannor takes the book stops a moment looks at the writing and scrawling on the page. He finds a place and marks a large X on the sheet of parchment. The warrior grunts and hands the book to Guthrir.

'Ts one thing fer us adventurin' types, but how kin ye expect ta squeeze a farmer fer a silver coin ever' time he comes ta town to sell his goods?" He turns to Gannon conversationally. "Ah expect the council'll find their markets're less busy, ya think?" He turns back to the gate guard. "'Ave they started settin' up their carts outside the walls yet? 'At's gonna draw bandits, ye know. Ya might be wantin' ta increase yer patrols outside the walls."

It was a perception check. Success! You recognize the tall warrior as Brunnor. One of the head trainers at one of the training halls in town. He and his brother Trevel train fighting men different styles in combat.

"No orc half breed here, we have seen. At least not since this mornings shift at sixth crow this morn."
" The old tower down the road is guarding the way in the main gate. By the Red Plumes from Hillsfar," he pauses to spit on the ground at disgust to the Red Plumes. " They keep an eye on the surrounding area,we" he jabs a thumb at his chest. "keep an eye on them." "The council hired many mercs as it has no standing army as of yet. About the silver, its only vagabonds , and drifters,..the adventuring type that get charged this tax. The council figures adventures always have coin to spare. As for farmers and their ilk,....well its either a few coppers or a levy against a percentage of there wares. Potatos or  a fat calf will suffice as good as silver. Just be sure to have a silver bit when you come looking to get back in. Or its the unsettled areas for you." With that the gate opens and Gannor and Guthrir ride out. Guthrir hears Gannor mumble under his breathe about these rude  folk and their love of money. He turns to Guthrir. " Which way shall we go?" he asks. Looking overhead he adds. "Looks like rain. Hopefully just rain this time , without the rain ,ice mix."

Let's go slow fer a while, see if she catches up. Dragons always bring bandits and oother scavengers in their wake. Ah'd hate fer her ta run inte trouble on her own." He shrugs. "An' fer that matter, her spear'd help us, no less, if it came te a fight."

Guthrir notices a movement in the distance, just past the tree line where the forest gets a bit thicker. Due to the gloom of the day, even this edge tree line is cast in murky darkness just a few scant paces into the forest proper. He recognizes the outline and jaunty but quick movements as those belonging to a goblin.

Traveling with pack over shoulder, Florric traveled along the road to town. The halfling monk 's padded feet beating their way along the traveler's road as he walked. A hand idly adjusting his spiked leather armor, which was lightly dyed a dark shade of purple. His mask he wore, a half face covering cloth, a similar shade. The mask was embellished with his mark, a design of his own making, a thunderbolt overlaid with a footprint made in paint.

Having made the journey inland, he had traveled from the coast, seeking a name for himself. He'd tried his hand with another group of adventurers, only to feel he had come short. With what he had earned with them, he spent on his travels inward, in the seeking his glory.

"I do hope this is the right way to town. Already crisscrossed paths twice now, and got lost in the bush once," He spoke mumbling to himself.

Gannor slightly narrows his eyes as the only indication of Guthrir's warning. He shifts a little in his saddle never once looking at the tree line. He pulls a small clump of sweet treat for his horse from inside his vest and while doing so unstraps a trio of throwing daggers in their bandolier under his vest.

" Does she have a family or other kin in the area?" he asks Pulling his horse a little away from Guthrir's and towards the forest side edge of the trail. "I have only seen half orcs a couple of times. Once when I traveled with a convoy of skiffs across the Moonsea. Their as strong as three men. The other time was when I journeyed from the edges of Zakahara to the neighboring nation. Kalla was her name. Not as brutish as some of her kin. She was an exotic beauty. I promised to send some of my wealth to her. Even though she married a warlord of her people just shortly after I departed." He shakes his head a wiry grin on his face. During his rambling he loosened the snap on his quiver making it look like an offhand idle movement.

You see a scruffy looking human in old leathers heading in your direction. " Indeed there is little man." says the beraggeled  man, placing one hand on his short sword. "We are a,......welcoming committee. It seems your pack is a bit heavy,.....perhaps I or my companions can relive you of some of its weight?" When he finishes speaking you see seven goblins in piece meal armor rise up out of the bush. Their gibbering going silent as the human bandit raises a hand. The forest and trail seem to have gone silent the  only sounds are the fat drops of rain and the excited breathing of the bandit and his cohorts.

It is at this time that you see a goblin war shaman step from the tree line. Most likely the same one you noticed earlier.

Would turn slightly to his pack, balling his right hand into a fist as he would suddenly break into a charge towards the man in the road. Perhaps the goblins, without their leader would scatter.

Florric would attempt to Clothesline the man before him to take him off his feet.

Florric Thunderfoot rolled 12 using 1d20+1 ((11)).

Guthrir dismounts his pony as quickly and carefully as he can, then slaps the horse's flank and yells something to it in a foreign language. The pony runs.
Now the stalwart dwarf looses the strap on his shield and pulls it over his shoulder to ready it.
He stands, stout and resolute, against the attackers.

The shaman continues to chant,(casting). The goblin archers miss Gannor and Guthrir. The dual sword wielding goblin rolled a 21,and then a 12(but does 0 dmg on the 21. You and the dual sword wielding goblin are now at melee distance.  Gannor takes his dual shot with the bow against the shaman goblin. He rolls a 9 and then a 14. He hits the shaman for 4 pts dmg taking the shaman a bit off balance. Breaking his spell casting.


The goblins let loose a volly from their bows. Most go wide. One does thunk on Guthrir's shield burying itself in it. The dual wielding goblin charges to meet Guthrir. He strikes one blow connecting but sliding off Guthrir's armor.
Gannor fires from his bow at the the shaman. He lets off a sigh of displeasure when his first shot misses then takes another. This one connects digging a bit into his armor and  breaking the goblin's concentration and knocking him almost off his feet

Taking a moment to assess instead, darts back to his pack his fists raised, looking about to the goblins in the bush. "You stop me, he dies!" He speaks aloud as he reaches for his pack.


If the goblins left him alone, he'd root for one of the things of value he still carried. One of the three healing potions, maybe he could save the thief's life, even if he had just threatened him moments before. He hoped this idea would work... Thief was choking for air, but maybe he could drink...

Leaning on his bow a bit holding his left side a bit where the magic missiles hit him. "Goblins. They are close to the city.

They took him to a small camp they have up the ways," he says pointing deeper into the forest. "At least thats where I think they said. goblin is very hard to understand.

The mercenary winces and draws in sharp breathe as Gannor uses the knife to help pry the arrows from his legs. "This is going to hurt even more,prepare yourself " says Gannor before he begins on the torso. The mercenary grunts loudly as Gannor begins working the arrow out."You are lucky," says Gannor to the merc. "Your armor slowed the arrow enough that when it went between your rib bones. It barely hit your lungs." The mercenary yells in pain as Gannor pulls the final arrow out. Gannor looks at the man and says," You bore that well."

Looking about the scenes of the last battle he turns about, surveying what had happened. As his eyes drifted to the tree line, he saw the pair disappearing within. Goblin hunters?

You see there is a broken set of footprints and something being dragged behind them , leading to the densest parts of the forest. You look at the fungi covered trunks of the trees and dense canopy to a forest filled with mist and gloom.

(Florric makes his dex roll, Guthrir fails his *it was a dex save* Gannor makes his save and rolls a 20)

As the party moves further into the forest. One of them must have triggered a trap.

There is the snapping of snapping branches and the "whipping" sound of things moving through the air. A large but low laying branch comes whipping around at high speed. The party has barely enough time to move. Florric leaps head over heels in a leaping somersault. He lands on a large stone ,half buried in the ground. He nimbly lands on both feet in a combat stance eyeing the surrounding forest for attack. Gannor having heard the trap as its path had barely begun, takes the opportunity to leap onto Guthrir knocking the dwarf and himself low enough on the forest floor to allow the speeding branch to whip over head. The branch continues its path and smacks hard against a cracked stone outcropping. Looking back the party sees that not only is the tree branch  against the stone outcropping ,but there is the lifeless form of another Red Plume warrior pinned between the stone and the branch. Held upright by multiple crude wooden spakes arranged in the many cracks of the stone.
"Callo", says Gannor looking at the grim scene.

After a bit . The party comes to another large outcropped rock. There is are symbols or script on it. "I don't think any of us reads goblin?" asks Gannor. The symbols having the look of colored chalk cover one whole side of the man sized stone. Looking over to the back of the stone Gannor points to a foot trail that has been etched in the low undergrowth. " Looks like someone has been traveling this way. Goblins are more careful about covering their tracks,...... what made this?" The party looks a little to the right of the stone. Beyond it is a small pool of water. Formed from centuries of mountain water and the waterfall behind it.

In reply to Florric Thunderfoot (msg # 110):

Gannor stares at the necklace. "Looks rather large for such a young child. The peoples of the standing rock however,......" He stops as their attention is drawn to the pool and the waterfall. Stepping from the rear of the waterfall,strides forward an adult human skeleton. Adorned and wearing a large horned helmet and the remains of half plate armor. It wields a large heavy great sword. It lifts the sword, the drops of water visibly freezing on the blade . Frosty vapor coming off the blade as he holds it in one bony hand. He reaches down into the water of the pool and pulls up what looks like a struggling girl. Her form made of water, a translucent image of a nude girl. The skeleton's hand clutching a portion of her hair . It seemingly more solid then water. You can see the dripping strain of the water/hair wrapped several times in the undead's hand. The girl comes up sputtering as if choking on the water. "No please don't!" she cries, looking at the horn phantom. "Release them and I. Let us free!" The horned warrior ignores her and forces her head towards the pool as it drives down the frost covered blade into the water. The blade makes a sound like hot iron thrown into water and the surrounding waters begin to churn and bubble violently. In a half circle around the horned warrior and the water girl. Six skeletons rise from the depths of the water pool. Strands of decayed and rusted armor hanging from their bony frames. As well as various rusted and broken weapons clutched in their dead hands. They make not a sound but yet you sense a look of menace from them, a sneer and evil delight on their faces. Perhaps a simple distortion of the water from above splashing down onto them. Flowing in steady splashing gouts  through their empty eye sockets and open jaws. They move forward to you.

Guthrir's Dwarven Resilience gives him advantage on saves vs poison, so he rolls a 21 to save against the Stinking Cloud. Imma assume that succeeds. I'm not reading any effects for the 5e version of Stinking Cloud if you make the save, (to my shock), so I'm also assuming no ill effects. If that's wrong, just revise my result.
He's making an attack roll against the first undead buttock to appear within his sight, preferably the horny skeleton.
He rolls a 15 to hit. If that strikes, he rolls a 7 to damage with his +2 battleaxe.

Guthrir shakes off the effects of the cloud and charges ahead, howling and sweeping his axe in front of him at chest level.

The horned skeleton makes an attack . The skeleton lumbers forward, dragging the kicking and struggling water girl by her hair behind him. Its lifeless face a sneer on menace and malice. It points the sword at the parties general direction and shards of ice shoot forward.

Shove doesn't do any damage. Guthrir wanted to knock the skeleton down so he could get on top of it and pound it to bits from point-blank range.

The horn-helmed skeleton mage ducks backward, expecting an attack, but Guthrir plows through its guard and knocks its legs out from under it. He follows the skeleton down to the ground, landing on top of its pelvis bone and raising his shield to bring down on the enemy's skull.
"Eat shite, ye undead abomination!" he screams in fury.

Gannor draws his bow knowing the skeleton is very close and that the bow is not the best weapon atm. He fires at the skeleton that is so close he can hear the scrapping of old bone against bone. The arrow connects and the skeleton stumbles bone shards flying from the impact. Gannor drops his bow and draws his sword, moving in on the skeleton.

This is the order of actions

regular skeletons
Guthrir

The horned skeleton rolled a 5
So did Florric


( The regular skeletons rolled a 6, way below anyone's AC so no successful attacks on their part.)

Guthrir casts Cure Wounds at Level 2 against the skeleton:
06:41, Today: Guthrir rolled 9 using 2d8+2 ((1,6)).

The dwarven druid drops his shield and plunges both thumbs into the death chill of the skeleton's eye sockets.
"May Chauntea's blessed light purge the darkness a' yer soul, ye demon!"
Radiant light shines from the healer's hands and suffuses the skeleton's entire body as his spell works its magic on the undead creature.

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 149):

The radiant energy washes over the skeleton. The lights washing out its physical form. It explodes with a burst of energy and harmless bone fragments. All that is left is its sword and the panting water girl

Bringing herself up a bit to her hands and knees in the shallow pool the water girl smiles. "Thank the great wheel. I was a prisoner of both those fiends for months! Hurry deal with the bony minions before the other comes," she says looking behind her towards the cave entrance behind the waterfall where the horned skeleton emerged.

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 154):

There are still 3 skeletons shambling around.
The skeletons rolled a 20
The ogre mage rolled a 9
Gannor rolled a 9

So the move order will be
skeletons
Florric
Guthrir
then
Gannor/the ogre mage (effectively at the same time)

The skeletons sensing that their master approaches double their attacks. Moving swiftly for this low level undead they attack!

The party hears a voice from the shadow behind the water fall, "Grrrrrr ha ha ha ,ho ha! What have we here? would be rescuers of my little prisoner? My magic will crush you! The nixie is mine short ones. As is her magic. I wish kill you and feast on your flesh and use your bones as tooth picks!"

The party sees the ogre  as it emerges from the waterfall . It stand 8 feet tall . It has a wild mane on blue hair matching its slate blue skin. It wears a informal kilt like skirt three belts of around its ample waist at various levels of height and tightness. From them are dangling are bones and other fetishes,from leather straps of varying length. In one hand it holds a large staff by human comparison,decked out with colorful streamers and feathers. It holds this high with ease, the staff large by human standards looks little more the a large wand in the ogres hands. The same feathers like those on the staff adorn a full headdress and a fetish necklace worn by the ogre mage.

Gannor swings at the skeleton to his right swinging the broadsword in a wide arc to his right. It whistles through the air cleaving the skeletons skin in two after it crashed through the undead's rib cage.

Meanwhile, he's letting out his most bloodcurdling dwarf roar, partly for effect and partly to distract the guy from casting.

Florric sees the startled look on the ogre's face as his blow connects with a satisfying thump and crack.

Oh. Ha ha. We were posting at the same time, so I guess we just overwhelm the nixie with lots of attention. :-b

(Nah. Nixies are major attention seekers!)

The Nixie looks at you all and begins balls her eyes out." My Lords! Thank you my Lords! I thought I would never escape the foul shaman's imprisonment!"
 She comes to each of you her form becoming more like that of a human maiden. " You have already done so much for me,my Lords!" she cries. "I give  my treasure and all  I have in YOUR service." she stresses as she kneels her naked form in front of all of you.

Gannor looks at Guthrir and Florric and half shrugs,as he lowers  his bow.

" Of course," says the nixie smiling .The forest nixie approaches Guthrir. Her body becoming more substantial like a mortals woman's body. She places her lips on Guthrir's and kisses him passionately. The simple kiss lingers and becomes another and another as she presses her body against his. Her hands rubbing the dwarf she begins to also hug,caress and kiss the dwarf as well. Gannor raises an eyebrow and makes his way into the pool of water.

Gave a bow to the Nixie, before her rather prominent display kissing Gunthrir turned him back to the fallen ogre. He'd reach into the water, and gave a few experimental tugs on the ogre's arm, trying to see if he could move the beast. "Well I could use a little healing, when you're done Gunthrir... One of those skeletons got off a lucky shot." He explained, his eyes drifting to the Nixie, "We're actually on the search for some goblins, they have a kidnapped child. A Baby. You don't perhaps saw any? Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated."

Guthrir shrugs, wearing a sheepish grin. "Sorry aboot that. Got distracted by the booty." He enacts a healing spell over his stalwart companion.

Cure Wounds @ Lv 1: 1d8+2 hp:
18:51, Today: Guthrir rolled 7 using 1d8+2 ((5)).

We're in a short rest, right? I'm gonna spend Hit Dice to restore Guthrir's hit points. He's at 13/24, has 3d8 HD, and has a +2 CON modifier.
19:00, Today: Guthrir rolled 5 using 1d8+2 ((3))

That brings Guthrir up to 18/24. He's gonna spend one more HD.
19:00, Today: Guthrir rolled 7 using 1d8+2 ((5)).

Now he's at full 24/24 hp, with 1d8 HD remaining.
Guthrir wants to make a quick scan of the immediate area for any purifying herbs like lavender, sage, rosemary, or valerian, that he can use to perform a quick purification ritual over the font and purge whatever lingers of the ogre mage's nastiness from the area.

Vela points to a small grove to the left of the pool. There you see what looks like someone's hedge witch garden. Besides it being a little over grown and a few dry plants you find what you need. There is even a large laurel bush in full bloom. Your eye catches a fluttering among its branches but you can't be sure,as your eyes are drawn to a crude outline of a small mound of stones.

Florric you give a huge heave and you manage to turn the ogre face up . His dead eyes and death snarl greet you. There may be treasure or magic on him if you search,......

(Yes short rest) :)

Guthrir quickly tends to some weeds in the recently-neglected garden as he gathers a small bundle of herbs, then moves back to the font to perform a short purification ritual to cleanse the spring's energy from the influence of the giantkin's foul magic. Fragrant aromas fill the air as the diligent druid burns herbs, waves them around in a smoking bundle, then casts them into the water.
The whole procedure only takes about fifteen minutes and Guthrir is ready to go.

"It's no perfect, but it shoold at least make the stench bearable," he explains to the nixie. "Time'll heal the taint. Ye kin repeat the ritual if it's tae'ing too loong." His lips twist up into a sheepish grin. "Och, but Ah guess ye know all this, well as Ah do. Soory. Used ta dealin' wi' farmers."

You find a belt pouch on the ogre. Inside the bag you find some dried plants,obviously the shamans fetishes. You also find a small arm band of leather and brass. You find a very intricate leather sling. There is a small black pouch of shot. On the ogre there are two rings one on each hand. One is gold with a red stone, likely a ruby and the other a silver ring with what appears to be a sapphire.

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 224):

Yes the nature skill would apply.

Guthrir looks the herbs over. He sees in the pouch that there are a few common herbs but these when  used alone or mixed and ground together and either boiled into a paste or as a tea have certain properties.
He finds,

niks weed (5 portions)
morning dew herb  (4 portions)
swallows tail leaves (5 portions)
casters chew (4 portions)

He knows these they have some basic uses

The niks weed is used to give a person energy and have him move faster and stay out longer without becoming fatigued. When consumed, as a tea the drinker moves at 50% farther and faster then their normal speed. When combined with Morning Dew the drinker can go without sleep for one week

Morning Dew herb, this herb when chewed dry allows the person chewing it a 25% resistance to heat and fire based attacks and conditions. When combined into a paste with Swallows tail herbs the person eating the paste gains the ability to fly, as per the fly spell for 1D6 rounds.

Swallows Tail. This leafy plants leaves when imbued by a magic user allow the person chewing them to hover about the ground at up to 30 ft. The person may move backwards and forwards at this maximum height or lower, depending on their wishes.

Casters Chew root, This root when dried flavored and chewed adds a one time boost in power or effectiveness of a spell. This increase is from 5-10%. However there is a small chance that the chew will call on a wold magic effect and have a random spell take effect instead,(7%) chance.

Gold with Ruby ring
Silver with Sapphire ring
Intricate sling with shot
Small armband of Leather and Brass

"We slayed the beast together, so here's the rest of the things I found... I could perhaps use the sling, if I'm caught out.. Sometimes you can't get close to hit someone. What do you think fellas?" He offers his fellows.

The forest as you travel farther in becomes very thick and over grown. The branches of the trees are so low and dense that it makes moving through them slow and careful. Picking at a splinter from his shoulder while crossing a dense patch before coming to a meandering stream Gannor points out a small camp fire. "It looks old," he says walking up to investigate.

Guthrir makes his dex check and hears an arrow wiz by his head. He sees Gannor take a hit and drop to his back. There is some archer somewhere in the brambles taking pot shots!

Indeed!

The goblin archers have rolled a 4, they are completely ensnared. (unless you roll super low)You hear them struggle and their curses in goblin and basic. Could be a total route.

Gannor sits up and pulls the arrow away he has taken 3 pts of dmg. He tabs a cotten cloth with antiseptic after cleaning the wound and secures it to the injury. He then chews on a bit of elm bark for any pain or discomfort.

"We should slay them all," he intones looking at Guthrir

Guthrir sighs, and the expression leaves his chiseled face for a time. "Aye, at'd be practical." He plods over to the edge of the bramble and somberly inspects his catch. "They'd'a kilt us, 'ats fer sure."
He shakes his head and turns away, indicating Gannon's bow with a nod of his head. "Try'n make it quick. After seein' sooch a pairfect creature back at the spring, I admit I've little stomach fer slaughterin' helpless foes."

Would frown a bit as the goblins sat ensnared in the thorn and brambles. "I don't like it either Guthrir." Florric said, looking at the dwarfs catch. "They did attack us, and I can only imagine .. What they might do to others if we let them go."  Approached one of the first goblins his fists clenched, "Making it quick would be best..."

While the others dispatch the killers in the thorns, Guthrir examines the surroundings. If the goblins set up an ambush here, the party must be getting close to their base. He pays special attention for any signs of regular foot traffic and for any traps.

Just in case a Perception roll is in order:
07:16, Today: Guthrir rolled 14 using 1d20+2 ((12)).

Guthrir is going to use Wild Shape to turn into a coyote. The badger is just being territorial, so he wants to convince it he'd make a good ally.

Guthrir holds his hands up as he continues to back away from the hole. "Easy, friend. Take it easy. 'Ere, watch this. Ah kin make meself useful, see? We kin be friends."
The dwarf takes a deep breath and stretches his arms down to the ground as his back narrows and shrinks. With a wisp of magic, his pack disappears, replaced by a dusty brown pelt of fur. A snout protrudes from his nose, and the transformation is complete. Dwarf becomes coyote.
He nods his head and barks at the badger, then leaps around in a circle and snaps at his tail. Then he saunters over and nudges Gannor with his nose and huffs a playful laugh at the badger.

That badger stops at the tunnel entrance. It bears it's teeth and snaps at the air in front of the party. After Guthrir's transformation the badger stops growling the only sound is it's breathing and it's breathe making small puffs of frost in the chill autumn air. It's tongue licks the air. Trying to decide where Guthrir went and why the coyote smells a little like him. It puffs once and sits on its haunches regarding the party.

Guthrir shifts back to his natural form, perhaps a little too hastily and a little too close, but he quickly tries to recover the situation. ”Sorry, friend. Didnae mean ta startle ye. It’s ookay. We jes wanna ask ye a question ‘r two, iff’n ye don’ mind, an’ Ah promise we’ll leave ye be after it.”

The badger begins to scratch and bite it's side and pelt. Lazily it turns and regards the party again and with it's front paws tugs at the collar with it's nail it is able to get between the loop of the collar. It half barks half yelps and begins to tug harder , rolling on it's back and coming up on it's feet. It repeats this several times. All the while taking a moment or two to regard the party.

(I know what you mean, Guthrir should be able to add a bonus from somewhere,maybe?)

"May the Great Mother keep ye and yer clan, Dusker, smile on yer winters an' lengthen yer days fer all peace and comfort. I thank ye fer yer help, an' I bless ye in me Lady's service."

The druid turns back to his companions and sighs.
"Well, 'at took the rest'a me magic, but Ah don' think we'll have any mair trooble gettin' ta the rotten goblins." He scratches his chin thoughtfully, bends down, and gathers a few branches into a loose campfire. He waves one hand over the branches and invokes his goddess: "At Chauntea's pleasure, an ember fire fer brewin' tea. Blessed be The Lady."
The branches crackle and pop and start to glow with heat, and Guthrir nods happily, pulls a small pot from his pack, and fills it half full of water from his skin. Then he goes into a pouch on his belt and retrieves a sachet of herbs.
"Niks Weed," he explains as he separates the dried leaves and crumbles them into the pot of water. "If we take a nip a' tea from these leaves, we'll move a wee bit faster. 'At way, if ever'thin goes south durin' the battle, we'll have a shot at gettin' away wi' our skins intact.

Phlan and the Moonsea

In reply to Guthrir (msg # 305):

The spirit turns silently her phantom breeze still fluttering her garments. She moves silently for a moment going deeper into the under growth. In time the undergrowth becomes thicker,(roll dex check(s) to not be reduced to half speed), The vines and dense vegetation clinging and pulling at the party as they make their way through. After a time the spirit stops and stands in front of a hilly mound. The beginnings of the local hills where herders graze their flocks. She stops before a large boulder set against the mound. On its surface are rough pictographs of goblinoid language. Along with strange etchings, little more then quick scrawlings on the rock face. The spirit turns and regards the party then looks over to her right and points to a hill in the distance. There a hill rises above the rest, an old blasted crumbling ruin of a tower dominating it's peak. The tower is from the early days of the first  human settlements of Phlan. The tower is one of the ,"watchmen", ancient structures conceived and manned  by the human Sea Kings of the Monnsea  and the elves of Myth Drannor, created by the dwarves of the Dragonspine mountains to the north. The ruins fell after many years of defending the region during the attacks and predations of the dark alliance, the massive invasion of evil humanoids, in their quest to destroy Northkeep, the first human city , that was built along the banks of the Moonsea.

The spirit lowering her arm, looks once more at the boulder placing a ghostly hand on its surface, a glimmer of dim blue dancing lights playing around her hands. The spirit then turns and regards the tower once more, briefly stares at the party. Then in a blink of an eye she disappears.

Lagged behind in the brush but caught up with the others to see the specter's gesturing, her wordless stories. He chewed his lip a moment in thought kicking up some dirt with his hairy foot, "Perhaps... she means the goblins are in the ruins? They made the markings right? Perhaps she's showing us where they're hiding?" he nodded with the dwarfs suggestion. "Its the ruins then."

You get the impression of a long abandoned and lonely air to the tower, yet a sense of there being something there but something unnatural and something waiting. As for the boulder there is a sense of this being a doing of the goblins. Looking to the ruins again you see that the shade has made it's way to the once remains of a short stone walled garden or grove. She stands there looking and all of you.

Pointed with one finger towards the brush he had seen the flash of green, waiting for movement.

Florric gripped his improvised camping fork weapon, though he doubt he would be using it for cooking much anymore. Gripping the thin, pointed weapon in his single hand he spoke aloud. "Listen here! Goblins... We know you are there. We've already been through tougher challenges than you today, including a ogre, and some undead, and if you value what little life you have... Make this easy on yourself and surrender, for there will be none given once the fighting starts!"

He attempted to intimidate the unseen enemies in the brush.

Made fearful by Florric's treat the goblins come out running away from the party. The party sees goblins,three small goblins. Smaller then the adult size for their ilk, bolt from the underbrush,small hand crossbows gripped tightly.The armor a mismatched collection of rusted scrap armor and pots and pans. They seem to be converging on a certain area of the forest. None look back but are wailing and running as fast as their small legs will carry them.

Guthrir closes in on the goblins, sprinting hard. The goblins hear him panting behind them and chatter excitedly to each other. They whirl around and scatter, preparing to jump at their pursuers, and the canine Druid skirts around and leaps at one of the goblins on the flank. He turns a little too fast, though, and wipes out on a tree root in a truly spectacular tumbling stumble.

When he returns he is holding a ample length of hemp rope. After the goblins are tied he steps back sitting on the ground a bit away from the goblins and facing them. Off in the distance the ghost Cheryl still in front of the small grave site looks on at the party silently.

You can tell that the goblin is a young one. Probably in early adolescence. He is terrified out of his mind and you wonder why such a young goblin would have been mustered as a guard. It's not unheard of but not common. You also know that goblins are spur of the moment beings. Given to their passions and wants. Their greed above all else.

Gonna use the Druidcraft cantrip.

Guthrir watches impassively from the side. He holds a line of string casually between the fingers of his right hand, idly lighting it and snuffing it out with magic. In the meantime, he conjures an illusionary sound of a pack of hungry wolves growling behind him in the trees.
All the while, he just stares at the goblins, lips moving in half-vocalized, arcane syllables, twitching the fingers of his off hand in the incomprehensible flourishes of somatic components, with half-hooded eyes and a grim half-smile.

Watched the goblin throw itself at his haired feet, pleading to him, offering a soft chuckle at Guthrir, and him being called 'Sire.'

He stood tall over the goblins,  now that they themselves were groveling in the dirt before him. "Bout time you both started listening..." He crossed his arm, holding a firm glare from behind the purple cloth of his mask, "You answer me truthfully and we'll return you to your home. Has your tribe taken a human baby...?"

Quaking the goblins retreat a bit. Moving on their knees and backsides. They both speak at once. "She is the sorceress of the warren. Like our kin but not. She and the chief quarrel, but they agree on one thing!" screeches one of the small goblins.
" She wields the power of the kinship. She is a cruel mistress but her power has made the clan stronge." They both look to the boulder with the glyphs and further down the forest thicket, and them to the shade standing by the rustic grave sites. " Yes. Yes. Powerful she is," they say in unison looking at each other.

The little goblin's eyes go wide with the image of the gold. "I will help you," he stammers,his gold lust barely contained. "With this gold Meekee can be chief of his own clan. Bigger clan then the raker clan! Yes! Meekee help! Show you how to enter warren."

Gannor after tying the goblins and putting a collar on the little gob's neck he extends the leash to Guthrir. "We better be prepared for betrayal," he says in a low tone. "The gold lust may only go so far." Louder he adds "and this mistress sounds  unlike a human or dwarf for that matter."

Gannor nods once while loosening the dagger on his belt while looking at the goblin.The other goblin gagged and bond is staring fitfully at the party casting an evil eye to his once partner.

The goblin Meekee walks over to the boulder with the glyphs looking to the party to follow. Stepping up to the boulder he speaks in the goblin tongue and certain etchings and glyphs begin to glow. Tapping a sequence of four the goblin steps back and as the party moves forward, Guthrir notices the goblin eyeing his gold pouch meaningfully. A few seconds later the boulder seemingly on it's own rolls away, long strands of clear mucous pull from the boulder to the entrance of the goblin warren. "Hmmm", says Meekee. "looks like the pet purple worm was scratching it's scales here. Best not to find it, or it us." he says walking inside.

After a few yards in Meekee turns and smiles at the party waving at them,urging them in. "Looks like the pet has gone back to it's nest me thinks. Hopefully after gorging on  a random beast, or careless goblin." The passage continues for a bit it's narrow walls muffling the sounds of your passing.

(Indeed using weapons as large as the battle axe will incur a -2 penalty in this sized passage)

Gannor holds on to the side of the slippery tunnel trying to stay a quiet as possible. After a few more steps you come onto a grisly scene. The remains of a goblin lay before you. Blood splattered floor and walls show he did not give up without a fight. Meekee stoops over the dead form," Klask! I always knew his rashness would bring him to a low ending. This was not the purple worm, it would swallow him whole leaving only a twitching leg or arm." Peering at the remains you notice that there are footprints where the struggle moved aside the slime and there appears to be a nongoblin sized weapon under the dead goblin.

You see a human sized axe that has been buried in the back of the dead goblin. I is crude in design , little more then a large wedge of sharpened flint strapped by leather to a crude wooden handle. " Submen?", asks Gannor looking a the crude weapon. "My own tribesman have had dealings with those. Not all of them friendly. That axe reminds me of them." He looks around "I am hesitant to continue on with my torch lit. You and the goblins may be able to see but I will be at a disadvantage without light. Still I fear the risk of us being detected by our fire may be too great to risk."

Meekee guides the party down several twisting passageways. You seem to be very far down in the earth . It amazes you that such a large a warren could have escaped detection for any amount of time. A few more yards in and you come to a large chasm. There is suspended above the drop an iron and chain lift. Meekaa pauses. "We have to go this way me thinks," he says pointing to the lift. "Too dangerous to the more upper and guarded area. The goblin guards are fierce and so are their boar beast. Still, one of you will have to go down with me while the other moves the lift crank. Meekee is too weak to hold and work crank with the weight of two tall fellows at him."
He looks at you,"then the one left behind will have to scale down to the lower warren. Good plan ,yes?"

"I almost want to head back up to the upper chambers and take our chances with the goblin guards,...and their boars," He shakes his head. "However we have made it this far and the lower warrens should be where they are keeping the young one." Turning to Guthrir he says," You go down with the goblin I will lower you then shim my way down."

 Gannor rolled <aqua>14 using 1d20+4 ((10))</Aqua>

You and Meekee are lowered down with the iron lift. The lift sways roughly more then once as the old rusted chain and cogs work through their motions. Through the bars of the iron lift you see the wet sides of the cavern walls . Water trickling down the smooth sides to pool in small puddles at the bottom. Your Dwarven eyes also spot a vein of silver here and one of gold there. You take note of these as you are sure the city of Phlan would find this interesting. Or if nothing else a way for your own income. After you touch bottom Meekee opens the gate and you step out in moments you hear a slight scraping sound and Gannor slides down the chain to join you.

"That lift was helpful. Although I doubt goblins constructed it, I wonder who,..." He stops in midsentance as you both observe Meekee cocking his head to the side. His eyes go wide and he leaps headlong behind some rock outcroppings. Hearing what sounds like approaching troops you and Gannor hide as well. The sounds grow louder ,until a group of humanoids come into view. Out a side passage a group of five canine like beast upright like men lumber into sight. Wearing patchwork armor and holding crude weapons some similar to the one that felled the goblin in the upper area. You hear one snarling say,"I still think we should attack and take the gold and weapons. There is more then enough of us!" 
"Quiet Grogr!" says another "The pack head has spoken and we will bide our time."
Another canine like creature its hair falling out with mange. It's pink infected skin pink and scabby snarls a barking rebuke," The pack head! I say we should do as we are meant to do, cow the goblins into submission or death. Do it by the old ways the natural way through blood and conquest! The pack head wishes to do so like a feeble elf, through diplomacy!" he snarls the last word spoken with the anger of a curse.
" Those are not submen," whispers Gannor to you.
You know only too well that fact.
These creatures are Gnolls!

He sheaths his sword and pulls out a pair of curious looking axes from his belt behind him. Hefting one in each hand, he waits a moment trying to hear any signs of the Gnolls. Satisfied he turns to Meekee,"Get moving," he says.

He was a famous builder. One'a his students did a lot of work around me home." The dwarf takes another look around, appraising the walls and layout of the warren. "Aye, Ah recognize this." He points down a side passage to the left. "'At should be tha cisterns, down thar. And we came from the side entrance, over thar," he continues, pointing back the way they came. "'At means..." He stops for a moment, turning around and studying the passages around them before pointing a steady arm straight ahead. "Then this way should be... the larders."
Now Guthrir turns to the goblin, brow furrowed and eyes flashing. "Explain yerself, lad. Why would ye be takin' us ta see yer foodstuffs?"

"There is sure to be more to his words," says Gannor eyeing the goblin. "Most likely a trap or ambush point by his fellows."

Leading the way in Meekee takes you through the next chamber. This was indeed the pantry,or at least one of them. The huge smoke house implements and kitchen items even after many decades of sitting on shelves can clearly be seen. A little ways more in Meekee stops and you see two humanoid shapes perched on the ends of iron shelves gnawing on a long bone each. The beings pointed teeth working at the gristle with such intent they do not notice you. Something that stands out is their reddish skin and bat like wings. Even for so slight a creature they have the look of predators about them.

says Gannor his arrow still notched pointing at the creatures. "There might be another way in, my experience has shown me dwarves make all kinds of passages and tunnels in their underground castles and keeps. Maybe you could find another way for us?"
Meekaa breaks in his voice a low hiss,"The two red ones are the Mistresses familiars. They always sneak into the pantries when she is not watching, to gnaw on bones and get some food for themselves. They are hard to leave when they begin eating. Only her call or the gnoll chef can run them away and even then they hurl their fire spit at intruders."
Gannor looks at Guthrir and resumes his aim on the red leathery creatures,"It's your call," he says.

Hm. Okay, so Stonecunning seems to work a lot differently than I'd expected in this edition. So according to the rules, the dwarven ability only works on Intelligence (History) checks to determine the origin of stonework. Any way I could apply it to a Wisdom (Perception) check to look for secret dwarven tunnels, instead?

Examinining some nearby stone work you notice that there is are fine lines along a portion of stone. To a non dwarf they would not be discernible but your eyes see it. Only being a few yards away you think you and Gannor should be able to get it open. Dwarven engineers being,Dwarven engineers you know the pulleys and weights should still be well greased and in good working order,even after these centuries.

Meekee when Guthrir pulls the coins opens the palm of his hand and lets the coins drop. He then closes his fist and before scampering away says," There are many dangers in the warren. Me thinks you be better with Meekee, But if you wish to send Meekee away Meekee will gladly leave."

The door slides open silently, even after all these years the dwarven engineers' work is flawless. What lays beyond in a tunnel,cobweb and dust covered, but surprisingly with no ruin or decay,and wide enough for you and your companion to walk side by side. Making your way in,(DO you close the secret passage door behind you?), You travel for some time, occasionally a random thud or hints of a scream can be heard on the other side of the thick walls.
Gannor has unequipped his bow and is holding a short sword in each hand. After about what seems like one hundred yards or so you stand before a pit about 13 feet wide on each side. An old rough looking wooden ladder/bridge placed over it. The age and sturdiness of the makeshift bridge is questionable.

He then looks to Guthrir,"If the one holding the rope footing or strength gave. Both would go tumbling in." He lets that sink in for a moment. "Maybe there is a way to close the pit?"

He continues a careful inspection of the near side of the pit, but suddenly straightens up. "Ach! Ah'm an idjit! Swallow's Tail an' Mornin' Dew! Those'll let oos git across this, an' no mistakin'." He stares doubtfully over the edge of the pit. "Mornin' Dew might work by itself, but it's joost a Levitation effect, an' Ah'm no positive the bridge'd hold up, even against that little pressure."

Your prodding kicks up light weighing dust and loosens cobwebs. A few dark finger length beetles scurry away,crawling into the cracks in the mortar. Looking around the two of you notice that there is also the same heavy grime and dirt on not ony the walls and floor but the ceiling as well. Perhaps this tunnel is weakened? As you prod the bones and old armor you notice that there is an old pouch long torn from age. The contents are the gold shine you saw earlier. Examining a coin you see that indeed they are gold,dwarven,and extremely old. Looking at the bones further there is no doubt this was once a dwarven warrior. The rotted armor clearly makes it so. Looking at the bones Gannor points out a few bones that look damaged and broken. "This man died of his wounds. Perhaps he sought refuge here and died along the way?"

Seems you and Gannor have made it into a secret chamber entrance of some sort. Not a regular one like what dwarfs use as choke points and dead turns to keep invaders out. Rather one that leads to some type of sanctuary built and used by the dwarven clerics for their practices and to the dwarven gods.
This is holy ground and if you are reading this right you are about to come to these very places soon enough. By the looks of it the fell humanoids have not found this area yet and the poor long dead dwarf seems to have been seeking healers before he perished.

The coins look like standard coins. Nothing too special there other then the age of them. You do notice however that there is more golden glittering from the bones of the fallen dwarf. The ax itself has gold on its edges and you think you see a chain and amulet or something around the bony neck of the dead man. Searching the runes you notice there are carved pictographs of various dwarven scenes of daily life. Clearing and cleaning away more of the dust and dirt you see a carving depicting a stern looking dwarf,seated on a throne,surrounded by his people. His hand outstretched with a curious slot carved into his palm.

The amulet slides in. First a little rough and the sound of dry scrapping is what you hear. Then after a certain point it slides in as if oiled and greased. There is a brief moment of silence and then the motif of the dwarven king and his followers becomes less solid and substantial before your very eyes. It goes translucent and then clear,finally disappearing entirely from view.
"By the four winds!" exclaims Gannor "I have heard of such medicine. Where a being can be so powerful in their craft as to make things seem as if they are real when in fact they are nothing more then projections of the mind." He steps cautiously through the hall where the wall once stood. Stopping just beyond the phantom walls position. He grunts once satisfied and looking your way once more. He continues down the hall.

What awaits you in the next room are two large sunken cisterns in recesses in the floor. On has more dwarven runes in the same ancient dialect around it's stone lip. Examining this cistern you see that there is a growth of moss and pond vegetation around the perimeter. You even see a couple of frogs jump as you approach startled by your movement. The water is clear at the surface and seems to be deep as the filtered light from high hanging globes do not reach the bottom.

There is another cistern this one decorated in a style that is distinctly human. With carved images of wreathed ivy and greenery around its lip. There is also a fallen ivory stone statue of a young woman that has fallen in the pool. The age having finally toppled it.

This is a large room ,although the shadows in the greater hall are dense and along their edges they move in peculiar ways. seemingly dodging your gaze? You also hear barely audible sounds of dwarven voices,from the brass tone of males to the lilt of female children

I'm assuming the axe he picked up is a battleaxe. If he gets to attack, Guthrir rolls:

If that hits, for damage he rolls:
12:17, Today: Guthrir rolled 8 using 1d8+2 ((6)).
That's for a one-handed swing. He'll switch to using it 2-handed for d10 damage next time.

Guthrir takes the axe he took from dead dwarf in one hand. As he retreats a step from the advancing frogs, he swings it with one hand at the frog in the lead.

Guthrir strains to lean back as far as he can for leverage with his off hand still clamped in the giant frog's bite. He puts his shoulder into a forceful axe swing at the thing's head.

Gannor attacks with the other throwing axe, Gannor rolled 19 using 1d20+6 ((13)) Dmg 1D6+2(5pts) On the remaining frog.

This frog bigger then the other two lashes out it's tongue and extending it's slimy dripping appendage it whirls it around like a rope in a full circle over it's head looking to lash you both

The monk was abruptly awoken from his meditation by the noise of the fighting. Pinned by a thick hardened mucous, he was conserving his strength by lowering his heart rate and breathing to almost null, no telling how long it would be until the foul creatures decided to eat him. One by one they would come for the other monks. A tear flowed from Ando's wide eyes as his dark vision brought to light the most recent events: he was the only one left. But now there were these warriors, and hopefully freedom.
Ando licked his lips to loosen them for crying out in common, "Help. Over here. I'm trapped."

Phlan and the Moonsea

The thud of a vile goblin's severed head slamming into the firm earthen floor of the dank and dimly lit warren a good foot away from its twitching body quickly gave way to Ando's cry for help. Unlike the others, he hadn't been hired to rescue the aristocrat's kidnapped infant. No, he'd ventured into the goblin warren all alone without so much as a word to anyone other than a courier, whom he used to send word to Hollengarde, after hearing simply hearing of the predicament while passing through the town. It was a detour from his search for the Bayard and the Eye of Vecna, but he wouldn't have been able to consider himself much of a Legionnaire if he'd ignored such a plight. So it was that he found himself navigating the seemingly endless tunnels of the warren. Because he was alone, he had prioritized stealth, well prioritized it as much as his bulky armor allowed anyway. Indeed, his armor had betrayed his efforts by revealing his position to a pair of goblins he encountered a few hours into his adventure. Mystra smiled upon him even in this deplorable place it seemed, as they were poorly armed and likely poorly trained. Indeed, the goblins weren't any match for him. The first fell to a masterful, electrified strike from Valendol which caved in its skull. Meanwhile, the second met a most unpleasant end by way of a vine whip rife with razor sharp thorns as it tried to flee upon witness the swift dispatching of its partner.

Instinctively, Selim brandished his steel scutum in the general direction of Ando's voice shining a brilliant, pale blue light down the corridor to illuminate the way while a thorn-covered vine nearly as long as he was tall withered away at his feet with unnatural speed. "Mother of All Magic guide me," spoke the young Legionnaire as he charged toward Ando's voice. From the loud clanging of his armored boots, it was clear to any nearby that he'd abandoned his previous attempt at stealth in favor of rescuing the owner of the disembodied voice as swiftly as possible. Although the voice's use of common all but assured Selim that he was charging into a rescue rather than a trap, he exercise a small degree of caution all the same by not calling back to the voice. After several minutes, Selim arrived at the chamber where Ando was trapped, his presence and approach spoiled well in advance by his noisy armor and steps and the pale blue light shining brightly from his shield. Once Ando's pupils contracted enough, he'd easily note the Mystran amulet around his neck and symbol emblazoned on his shield.

"Selim Soltani," Selim began cordially while surveying the situation before him, "Eight Division knight of the Legion of the Steel." Ando would easily notice that Selim hadn't come from the direction of the noisy fighting from earlier, though he'd certainly made his fair share of noise in his haste to get to Ando. Consequently, Selim was much too far away from the larger group to hear its noisy battle and thus was wholly unaware that there were any other would-be rescuers in the warren. Heck, if he'd been any noisier during his journey, he easily might not have heard Ando. "Who might you be good sir, and what are you doing in a place like this?" Finding what appeared to be a good line to try and cut open hardened mucus binding Ando, Selim drew Almasy, his steel dagger, from its holster at the right side of his waist then set to work.

Note: Still working on Selim's appearance. For now, just envision him as looking like a typical European knight in armor. Also, I chose to establish Selim as having entered the warren from a location different from the main group to avoid either forcing a retcon on Ando's post by making him a prisoner alongside Ando or repeating Ando's introduction by making Selim a prisoner elsewhere in the dungeon. Pretty much went for the second most direct way to get Selim together with everyone. :)

"All praise to the gods, and all thanks to you, brother." Ando budged what he could to try breaking up the goo that held him. Judging by his lack of energy, despite the state of meditation, it felt like the end of a forty day fast.

"Ando Corleon, with the local monastery...at your service and in your debt." (OOC: I only have access to this thread and have no idea where in the world we are, so local monastery will have to do.) In truth, Ando would switch monasteries every ten years. A different diety, a different philosophy, but always the same unsatisfied search for peace from the one hundred years as a soldier before he retired. There was blood on his hands he kept meaning to wash off, but even as a monk he found that he could not escape violence. He came down the warren with seven brothers of his order, and now he was the last.

(OOC: I need to throw together my character sheet too.)

Guthrir notices the other two in the room and calls out to them as he turns back to face the opening from which he fled. His hide armor, even covered in slimy frog spit, still manages to shine faintly with power and pride under the light of the torches.
"Well met! Great Mother's blessings upon ye! Now, dinnae lower yer guard, sair knight! We faced giant frogs in that narrow hall, and we didnae manage te finish 'em off. An' if ye kin hold on fer a bit, good sair, we'll git ye free a' tha goop soon as it's safe, and no doubtin'!"

"No debt is owed Sir Corleon," Selim answered humbly while he continued working at the hardened goop which bound Ando with Almasy. Just as he exposed a decently-sized crack in the goop near Ando's left shoulder and upper torso, Guthrir bounded into the room and offered the slightest of introductions and, more importantly, a warning regarding a threat approaching them. "Mystra's blessing to you, Sir Dwarf. Giant frogs you say?" Selim was visibly puzzled by Guthrir's revelation. He didn't doubt Guthrir. Rather, he simply hadn't seen any significant sources of water in the tunnels thus far, which he assumed such frogs would require. The more he thought about it though, the presence of monstrous frogs certainly offered an explanation for Ando's present predicament. Regardless of the oddness of giant, and apparently aggressive frogs in the goblin warren, the fact remained that they presented an immediate to everyone gathered based on Guthrir's words, and that alone was enough to move Selim to action.

"Sir Corleon, please wait just a while longer while we contend with the threat presented by these monstrous frogs." Selim didn't intend to leave Ando completely defenseless however. There was always a chance that he and Guthrir would become the frogs' victims rather than vanquishers after all. To that end, he slid Almasy into Ando's left hand, angling the dagger's blade upward toward the goop so that the monk could work toward freedom while he and the dwarf bashed frog skulls. Barring that, the monk might be able to defend himself from whatever frogs remained if he and Guthrir failed their task. If Ando was knowledgeable about weapons, he'd notice Almasy's superior craftsmanship by way of its weight and balance the moment he took hold of its leather bound, H-shaped hilt. "Mystra watch over you."

Selim returned to his feet from his kneeling position then made his way over to Guthrir quickly. "Lead the way, Sir Dwarf. I'll take the vanguard once we arrive." Although Guthrir's armor looked plenty sturdy itself, it seemed comprised of little more than the bones and hides of animals and thus no comparison to the steel from which Selim's own armor was fashioned. Thus, it appeared most sensible for Selim to absorb the brunt of the frogs' attacks. Still, that was ultimately a concern for later. Until then, Selim followed behind Guthrir with Valendol and his scutum at the ready while the seemingly endless shadows retreated from the pale blue light which shined brightly from his shield only to regroup behind him and the dwarf.

Without hesitation, Selim took up a position immediately to the left of Guthrir once the dwarf stopped moving. From there he adopted a defensive posture which, among other things, saw him raise his large steel shield and ready his quarterstaff Valendol to strike the first frog which poked out its ugly head or tongue or whatever it ultimately chose to stick out. Unlike Guthrir, he wasn't blessed with darkvision and thus used his illuminated shield to aid him with searching his surroundings for the frogs. He accomplished this by focusing the shield's pale blue light into a beam first. From there, he swept the brilliant beam back and forth across the area in front of him. He also shined light on the ceiling as a precaution. "Look up. Definitely look up. Everyone always forgets to look up." Sure, he hadn't ever heard of frogs walking on ceilings, but he also hadn't heard of giant frogs that attacked men either. So, the sky was the limit regarding the frogs' capabilities as far as he was concerned. With any luck, his efforts would locate the slimy menace before it found him and Guthrir. At the very least, he hoped his efforts would give him sufficient warning if the frogs found them and attacked first. "Show yourselves, slimy fiends...."

The sounds of a slopping,wet flop can be heard in the distance. As you all look around you see that the room of that the unfortunate monks and now,you are in is in fact a part of a greater hall. Long burnt out sconces and three large iron brazers are scattered around the room. What was once a long oaken table is now rotted in twain and the chairs are broken and scattered.
Looking at the walls were the art still peeks through dirt and grime you see scenes painted in color of dwarven life and daily events. Every so often a scene depicts a large figure wreathed in gold and light, that the dwarfs are beseeching at it's feet.

(OOC: rolled a perfect 20 for mucus, I'll assume I'm free so I can regroup with the others before this battle begins. initiative is 9.)

Applying everything he knew about frog mucus, which was very little despite how long he had been trapped in it, Ando sensed a weakness and shoved Selim's blade through it with precision. It was like cracking ice. The hold broke free and Ando fell to his knees. A few deep breaths to pump blood to his feet and he raced forward to join the others.

"Well met, brothers!" Ando shouted, no need for stealth, the dwarf had already cried for battle.

"There you are," Selim muttered as the monstrous frog flopped into view after short bit of buildup. Before he could assess the situation any further however, Guthrir howled with fury then charged the frog with reckless abandon. Meanwhile, the sounds of Ando's hasty approach filled his ears prompting him to turn and aim his shield in that direction. Given the sounds and the direction, he figured it was Ando, but he wanted to be certain. This was hostile territory after all. Upon confirm his suspicions, Selim turned back to the giant frog where he illuminated it with his shield's light to aid Guthrir's attack.

With Guthrir opting for a melee-oriented approach in the imminent battle against the frog, Selim decided upon a ranged approach instead. In his experience, it was quite easy for melee combatants to crowd out each other. Plus, versatility was one of his strengths in battle. Less certain of the terrain than Guthrir, Selim kept his distance as he prayed to Mystra and shifted Valendol from his left hand into his shield-bearing right. From there he traced a ring about a foot in diameter in the air in front him at roughly shoulder height with his left hand. Synchronous with the conclusion of his prayer, the ring crackled then burst to life with brilliant azure energy which was followed immediately by a second burst of energy identical in color to first at the center of the ring. Different from the first burst though, the second left behind an octragram which completed Mystra's familiar emblem. Moments after its creation though, the recreation of Mystra's emblem dissolved into the aether. As it did so, dark, wispy energy swirled beneath the monstrous frog's form and obscured the ground from view as a ghastly skeletal hand large enough to clutch the frog's entire body rose from shadowy energy and attempted to grasp hold of the frog. Within the skeletal hand's clutches, should the frog fall victim, necrotic energy would course through the frog from several seconds withering flesh and bone until the skeletal hand and ominous energy sank back into the ground then vanished into nothingness, the frog's decayed flesh and bone the only evidence of their one-time existence.

Phlan and the Moonsea

(OOC: I love the way you list things out Selim. Gonna copy you, although I don't have any spells.)
Ando stopped behind and to the left of Selim, knowing full well not to interrupt or get in the way of a spell as it is being cast.

"Great spell! I've got your back."
Selim's dagger was his only weapon at the moment, other than of course his own limbs, but with the dwarf in between them he did not want to risk throwing it, and so he took a defensive position, guarding the cleric and himself from any surprises that could come behind.

NPC frog, rolled 22 using 1d20+3 ((19))

Selim's spell takes effect around the bounding giant frog. Black coils of wispy tendrils surround it's body. These begin  dancing and wrapping themselves around it's form. The frog caught in mid jump begins croaking and struggling as the spell takes effect. You can all see it's flesh begin to blister and bubble. Thick viscous threads of spoiled flesh begin dropping away.
You notice something else. The frogs form is "bending",  becoming elongated in areas and bloated in others. It is also getting more human like. Within moments the frog has changed into the hissing form of a Red Slaad!

“At last I have found you. I had my doubts as to the strength of our order, no monk could fall to a mere large frog. Now we will have revenge.” Ando gripped the steel in his hand until his knuckles turned white. It was a good thing he hadn’t thrown the blade. It would do much better to slit the slaad’s throat.

An armored humanoid arrives late to the battle. He stands about 5'6" tall wearing battered scale mail and a mace in his right hand. He has a long reddish, ragged scar along right cheek, still a relatively new wound that just healed. Wisps of black hair can be seen from under his helmet.

"Ah, I see who has been leaving a trail for me to follow." He says to the adventurers. He eyes the slaad. "And I see what is part of the issue here."


10:56, Today: Staren Cloaken rolled 2 using 1d20+1.  Init.

Guthrir charges forward with a bellow. The frog's changing form clearly startles him, but not enough to stay his hand. As he runs, Guthrir raises the axe up above his head for a two-handed blow, but at the last moment he brings it down for a low, sweeping attack at its body as he rushes around to the creature's other side.
"'Ave at ye, defiler!" he howls.

"My thanks friend," Selim began humbly in response to Ando's praises regarding his Chill Touch spell his eyes never once diverting away from the monstrous frog. "As I suspected, not enough." He tensed as his spell failed to end the battle on the spot and prepared for the frog's presumed reprisal. No retaliation came however, not yet anyway. Instead, the frog's form shifted colors and twisted into that of an entirely new beast seemingly in response to his magical assault. "What foul sorcery is this?" Powerless to stop the frog's transformation, Selim bolstered his defenses and waited until the magic affecting the frog subsided. "Slaad." His utterance was reflexive and not spoken to anyone in particular. Unfortunately, besides identifying what manner of fiend stood before him and the others, he couldn't recall anything else about it. Consequently, he couldn't help but wish that he'd paid just a bit more attention to his studies at Hollengarde. That said, it didn't seem as if his new allies cared much about knowing the particulars of the creature they now faced as Guthrir charged the slaad recklessly, while newcomer Staren unleashed holy flames upon it. Though somewhat rude, introductions needed to wait until after the red slaad was dealt with.

So it was that the time arrived for Selim to decide upon his next course of action. The others had clearly decided to kill the slaad, or die trying. Thus, there was but one path open to Selim despite his reservations. As it happened the Legion had impressed upon him well the importance of using one's head in battle together with one's sword or sorcery. In this case it meant learning more about the slaad before rushing in to fight. As that option had passed, Selim called to mind a prayer for a blessing to protect the warriors who'd opted for a closer and more personal approach to ending the slaad's existence. "We fight as one!" roared Selim before he recited a brief prayer to Mystra and raised his shield high overhead. Suddenly, three ghostly tendrils identical in color to the light which radiated from his shield burst forth from it then rocketed toward Ando, Guthrir and Gannor. Striking the three with ease, the tendrils enveloped them in wispy auras of cyan energy which bolstered their morale and emboldened them to fight much more fiercely than before. With his allies empowered, Selim held his position and prepared to react to whatever action the slaad took.

20:57, Mon 06 Aug: Selim Soltani rolled 7 using 1d20+2.  Recall basic information about Red Slaadi.

Ando accepts the blessing with a nod toward Selim and toward the ceiling, wherever Selim's god may be. "I've studied a little about limbo, it would be in our best interest to kill it here rather than send it back where it came."

Ando leaps the distance and strikes with the dagger toward the Slaad's face, and a follow up strike with his knee to the beast's jaw.

Action - Attack slaad with knife and bonus unarmed strike
Ando Corleon rolled 11 using 1d20+2. attack. Selim pmed me and told me to add 1d4 to this, which was 1.
Ando Corleon rolled 6 using 1d4+2. knife damage.
Ando Corleon rolled 4 using 1d4+2. kick damage (bonus attack).

"Wait! You say you will help us if we let you live?" Ando replies to the Slaad after he finishes smashing it's face in and immediately regretting it as acid splashes all around him.

"We can reason together. What is your name?" It was probably too late for that, but why did the creature offer assistance and exactly when and how did Ando not hear him before he attacked.

"If you speak true, then lower your claws and keep them where we can see them!" Selim ordered the red slaad after it expressed a desire to resolve things peacefully and cooperate. He didn't believe the slaadi one bit, but he was at least willing to give the vile creature a chance. Unfortunately, things only progressed in the other direction after Ando's swift strikes."I will not ask again fiend. Stand down now, or face righteous wrath!" Selim to a step toward the slaad threateningly then brought Valendol to bear against the creature to reinforce the notion that anything less than compliance would be met with force.

The red slaad murder still in it's eyes tries to relax a bit though the spell still gnaws at it's fetid flesh,deep furrows of ichor filled crimson flesh are opened but yet it holds still. " I wish to be released from this place." It says it's voice having a watery echo to it."Centuries ago I was held here by the deep kin who's home this was. In that time when the black hoard swept over all of the moving ice and into the inland sea. I rode with a generals rank on the hoards finest day. Now it is centuries later and the magics of the deep kin's clerics that have imprisoned me here have weakened." It pokes out it's tongue and wipes both it's black glassy  eyes with it. It continues,"When freedom looked sure and the time I could return to my fiefdom in Limbo sure, the small scaly king, the new ruler of this place,knowing my presence, warded me again and bound me once more. He challenges my will and seeks to bend me to his. His own transformation given him power over me and the means to keep me trapped once again. I will assist you in your quest to defeat him,if you free me and allow me to taste his old blood in his surely dead form after you have dealt with him." FREE ME! So I may return to limbo my keep,my vassals,to reign havoc. To impregnate succubi that mock my vistage and let me reenter the blood wars!"

Ando disengages and backs toward his group, keeping his guard up and eyes on the slaad, not sure if the battle is over, and not trusting the monster. Not yet having the chance to meet Guthrir, Staren, and Gannor, Selim is the only one he trusts. He whispers to him, "If we are to fight the one who could imprison the slaad, we will need the slaads help for sure. A being powerful enough to capture him is too powerful for us alone. But can we trust this agent of chaos? Does your god Mystra speak to you, cleric? My many gods do not. What does she say?"

Ando pieces a few thoughts together. He knows it is wrong to accept the slaad's help, and right to end his evil life; but there is one final question he must ask before slicing through it's thick neck. "Five monks, my brothers, came down here with me. Did you have anything to do with their end? I have seen no bones, their belongings. At least give me peace of knowing...."

With the knowledge that his brothers are not eaten or dead Ando's perspective changes. They left him? Betrayal creeps into his heart. The gods that he has served for almost twenty years have ever been silent, but his peers have urged him to continue the faith. But now they deserted him and left him for dead. What good is faith?

Ando looks again at the faithful Selim, "Nevermind, I don't need to know what your god says."

He steps forward toward the Slaad and speaks for everyone, "Well then, Slaad, for now we can agree not to trust each other, but I think for now we have a common enemy. If you can help me, I will help you." He turns to the rest, "Lower your weapons, brothers. I sense no ill will at this time."

Ando reaches his hand out to the Slaad in a gesture of temporary trust.

"So it's a manhunt for each of us then. And no new information from this agent of chaos changes that. Yet he tells of an ancient evil he need help destroying, and if a slaad calls something evil it must be terrible indeed. We cannot best it alone, together as one we are strong.

"We are going to need a paddle or something. Can your medicine bring one forth master Dwarf? Or maybe I could wade across while pulling us across with some hemp rope?" asks Gannor . His hand close to his weapons as he eyes the slaad.
The slaad eyes Guthrir. " I have no pockets,but I Have my gizzard," says Wart swallowing the stone. The party can see it's gizzard expand as the stone enters the organ. Then,....he spits it back out smiling

Ando had been contemplating while the group figures it out. High rank monks in his order had the supernatural ability to walk on water...a skill that would be very handy now.

Speaking of skills! I'll throw together my character sheet tonight, so sorry I was gone all week.

"Let me know how to help." He says and simply sits down to meditate.

He ties his rope around Gannor's middle, lets out about ten feet of slack and coils it around his wrist twice, and takes a firm grip.

Despite meditation, he is aware of all and rises to take some of the left over rope from Guthrir to also anchor Gannor. "Not that I doubt your weight, Guthrir, but we shouldn't take any chances."

OOC: Wasn't the rope tied around him? Or was he just holding it?

Ando tosses the rest of the rope to Staren so they are both pulling it. Since Gannor is already in the water he is closest, and since he's tied to the rope it makes sense for him to try swimming after the dwarf. But there is one more option, "RedWart, either grab the rope or jump in and save him." The slaad is likely a very good swimmer. Ando pulls tightly on the rope in case Gannor jumps after Guthrir.

15:57, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 22 using 1d20+2 ((20)). Wish my rolls worked this well in my other games.

Reaching dry land Gannor lets out a short mantra in his native tongue touching the earth once. Then looking at his companions he points to a low slopping cave off to their left that emits a dull yellow glow that seems to be from lit torches.
Looking back at the far bank you all can see the slaad still dozing and burping every so often. "I think our time with the frog devil, has come to an end." says Gannor. "Likely just as well, he is a creature of chaos and I sense mad as well."

Gannor readies his axes as his bow is all but useless in the confines of a stone tunnle. The tunnel is a dripping mismatch of dwarven workmanship small pools of water collect from dripping walls and stones. While soggy bare earthen walls with tangled root masses,worms,and creepers give the torch light a dull cast,and the passage an earthy smell. The torches,more then a dozen total run down the length of the passage to what you believe is another room further down. A few torches are missing here and there.in spots where the walls are soggy and bare of stone.
Someone had to have lit the torches. And while you see no immediate traces of anyone. You can't help but know that there is someone down here.

You all head further and further down the soaked tunnel passing s few skeletons embeded in the soggy muck. After a bit the muck becomes drier and the humidity subsides considerably. This all leads to a flag stone strewn room.Immediately there is no doubt in what kind of room you have come upon. The rows of cells is a dead give away as are the five sleeping orcs on guard duty.

When he gets within a few inches of one of the orcs. It coughs/snores loudly and awakens. It's piggy like eyes go wide with shock,that quickly turns to feral rage . Too close to draw a weapon,it instead elbows the warrior away. Causing him sto stumble back a few feet. The other orcs,primitive beast that they are. Waste no time coming awake and drawing steel. Their war cries rebounding off the walls. You catch a glimpse of one of the orcs grabbing a black polished stone around it's neck that is glowing a dull purple. Blast! Magic!

Your axe cuts through the orcs armor like paper,burying itself deep within its chest. The orcs feral roar becomes a weak wet gurgle as it, spitting mud black blood falls to the flag stone mortally wounded. However you can only for the briefest of moments have satisfaction. For the other orc is all but on you.

 Giving a war cry and rushing to join the melee Gannor drawing his sword swings in an upward motion from his lower hip to a wide arc.  The orc that pushed him a wiley looking character smiles knowingly and side steps the swing,then crouching a bit slaps both his shoulders knocking dust from them in a common orcish mocking of an opponent.
 Today: Gannor rolled 8 using 1d20+6 ((2)).

The orcs though dumb brutes that they are have some knowledge of tactics and battle as their dinged up armor and scars  visible seem to show. The third orc rushes to attack Guthrir seeing how he felled his clan brother who lies in a pool of blackish blood The fourth orc rushes Staren . Sure that his brothers can handle the interlopers. Roaring incoherently punctuated with orcish curses and the most foul black speech the divided orcs make their attack.
the NPC orcs, rolled 7 using 1d20+4 ((3))

Staren your roll sir!

I take it no one was hit by the orcs attack roll?

Gannor makes a wide swing that connects with the orc he is facing. The blade slicing deep into the orc. It staggers back clutching its mortal wound,before toppling over the wooden stool he and his fellows were sitting on. The warrior then eyes the battle looking where to move to next.
Gannor rolled 19 using 1d20+6 ((13)) for attacking
Gannor rolled 8 using 1d8+2 ((6)) dmg

Gannor sees that Staren has his foe well in hand,handing a solid blow on the orc.
(Staren you may describe what and how you attack)

In reply to Gannor (msg # 648):

The other three orcs ,two of which charge howling
One makes a line to Guthrir the other to Gannor. The orcs attack with salivating feral fury. Curses and spittle peppering their targets .
 NPC orcs, rolled 15 using 1d20+5 ((10))
The orc leader thumbing the purple stone around his neck looks at Staren as he slowly makes his way towards him at an easy walk,"meat", he says so menancing and calmly as he unsheathes his sword. He then breaks into a war cry and a dead run towards Staren.
(Anyone besides Gannor get hit? Gannor takes 9 dmg . With only 3 HP left ouch!)

Your right he did drink from the pool
Gannor rolled 23 using 1d20+3 ((20))
 the NPC orcs, rolled 15 using 1d20+1 ((14))
Since Gannor goes first he is going to use one of his 4 healing potions( he now has 3 potions left). after back peddling to disengage the salivating orc. He will move half his full move and swallow the entire contents in one gulp. Smiling grimly as the potion takes effect and the hard "ball" of it's contents goes down he then readies his sword
 Gannor rolled 9 using 2d4+2 ((4,3))
Back to full HP!

(Guthrir and the 3 orcs left go at the same time,both rolled 15)

Guthrir is going to try and use his dwarven mass to knock the orc attacking him into the one fighting Gannor so he can go help their halfling friend. He crouches a little and then powers his legs forward into a shoulder check at the orc's lower body, hoping to lift him into the air and knock him backward.

Athletics check, I believe?

That is a hit!

The orc is taken by surprise. (I am going to use GM fiat and assume that the orc was blindsided and Guttrir's mass knocked him into is comrade. The orc grunts and makes a clumsy swing at you that misses broadly. Gannor seeing an opening makes a break for it. Putting distance between himself and the enemies. (full move).
The orcs are a hot mess right now . A tangle of roaring arms and legs, flailing their weapons around as they try and defend themselves from their weak position. Their Leader the orc with the magic stone comes at you full bore and full roar. Throwing caution to the wind and you have but a moment before he closes the space between you.

I assume that is a new initiative round

In reply to Gannor (msg # 659):

Guthrir is chopping at the hand that's holding the magic doodad. Ideally, his intention is to lop it clean off, but we'll see how it goes.
Calling a shot feels more like cover than disadvantage, so I'mma roll and you can apply any penalties you like afterwards. If you need me to roll a second die, I can do that, too.

13:41, Today: Guthrir rolled 20 using 1d20+6 ((14)).

And if it hits:
13:44, Today: Guthrir rolled 10 using 1d8+4 ((6)).

Guthrir faced the charging orc leader head-on, trusting in his foe's momentum to make it that much harder to dodge. He brings his battleaxe up in a diagonal slash at the orc's arm. If he's lucky, he can force the greenskin to drop his magic bauble.

Maybe it's seeing their leader lose his magic bauble . Maybe it's that they see the party knows how to fight,but the orcs attacks are clumsy and without any chance of hitting. They howl in anger at their own ineptness, Gannor attempts a called shot wanting to drop an orc before reinforcements show up.

Gannor rolled 15 using 1d20+4 ((11))
 Gannor rolled 11 using 1d8+3 ((8)) for dmg
He drops one of the orcs, It falls roaring clawing at its face trying to pull the arrow from its eye socket. It does this for a second or two too dumb to realize it is dead. It then jerks once and lays still

Looking to what the shaman has on him and noticing he is still breathing if very shallow like. You discover that there is an elven short sword hanging from his belt. The short sword is shining and contrasting greatly to the more "brutal" and coarse weapons the orc is carrying and that are common among his kin. Looking more you find the bauble that the orc was using during the battle. You see that it is a simple light purple crystal likely amethys, It hangs from a simple leather thing around the orcs neck. Looking further you see the shamans "medicine/mojo pouch"fetishes and paraphernalia hanging from it.

He double-checks the orc for any more weapons, picks up the man's severed hand off the floor, then nudges him in the face with the steel toe of his boot. Somewhat gently.

A few short moments later Gannor regards Guthrir.
"The way is clear master dwarf, at least for now," indicating there are as of yet no reinforcements.
He looks tellingly at the darkened and water dripping cells lined on the walls and to the door leading out. Then a second later you both hear the sounds of heavy footfalls and inhuman exclamations and curses.
Cursing under his own breath Gannor looks to the door and the sounds beyond.
"We could hide in the shadows of the cells." he says scowling. "Go back the way we came. Stand our ground here and fight. Or bolt past the door and hopefully dodge whom ever is out there."
The sounds are close but not at the literal door step!

Guthrir doesn't have any applicable skills, but he's gonna use Druidcraft to make a cloud of spores that lingers in the air to enhance the shadows.

Guthrir settles uncomfortably into the darkness behind the cells, but he has trouble fitting.
"Och, hang on. Cover yer mouth and breathe through yer nose, laddie," he warns as he cracks his fingers and then starts to run them through a practiced series of gestures.
As he performs the complex hand motions, the druid whispers, "O Great Mother, by thy deep bond with Treefather, I implore his aid: dark spores to cloud the air and from sight help us to fade."

(Please describe the effects and way the spell manifest.)

Gannor wonders how long the spell with last and if they will find the baby of house Gretch nearby. Gannor  holds on to his bow and an arrow while hiding like the dwarf did. He eyes the entrance way and does not have to wait long to see who and what is beyond. He hadn't need to wait long for ina short moment a pair of green skinned trolls wearing crude piece meal armor come stomping in.
"Grreeeee!" exclaims one. "The kin are dead! We have unwelcome guests!"
The other troll more warty then it's companion crouches a bit lower dodging a swipe from his excited counterpart. "Blast their hide with spell fire." "The oorrcks have met their end. Even Gab the foul lies like a slaughtered lamb!" This troll saunders over to the slain orc shaman and begins rummaging through the felled orc's clothes and pockets.
It's counterpart seeing this rushes over and slaps the fellow troll on the back of the head with it's spiked club. "Fool! wat is you doing. We must find the murderers!"
"You the fool!," lashes back the other troll. "We ARE the murderers. And I want the orcs magic!" it balls; it's hands and talons getting caught in the fabric of the dead orc. The trolls attempt to face his accuser quickly making his nails go stuck and so,swinging the dead orc around like a marionette puppet. He then proceeds to beat the other troll a couple of times with the attached dead orc."You the fool here! The REAL murderers!,......(it pauses),..."we murderers too but the other other murderers twice removed! "Twice removed?" says the other troll blocking the blow with a badly battered shield "You mean like tak-ka the cousin and wife of me? Or like Timbo the trollish short welp that killed my father?,......before I ate him?!" The trolls continue their arguement between swings of their spiked clubs and shield blocking

Guthrir closes his eyes to slits and covers his mouth and nose with one hand as, in answer to his call, a cloud of black spores appears near the ceiling and starts to drift down toward the ground in a falling curtain of darkness. The spores float and stir in a wall of cloud, as if held aloft by an unseen wind, and a lone oak leaf turns and twists in that wind.

I am going to say that Guthrir and Gannor have the initiative here and can move freely. As the spell should obscure the troll's vision and allow for an auto  escape or a free action based on opposed attribute rolls.

Gannor rolled 24 using 1d20+7 ((17)). Not too bad. (Considering Gannors high concept makes sense he has a high skill in bows. Most fighters I have played have been,"sword & board" types. Wanted to try a ranged fighter.)


You see Gannor spark a flame lower down toward the end of his arrow and in a span of time a breathe long aims and lets the flaming projectile fly. It strike the assenbled bottles, and a brief instant later the high proof,crude and poorly made Orc liquor ignites. It take a moment for the trolls to see this and by the time they do the entire table in a mass of flame that is quickly spreading. "Greeeeeeee!" they shriek.
"Fire! We must put it out!," says the Troll with the dead orc tossing the body onto the burning table smashing it and causing the fire to spread further. The other troll seeing this backs away in fear,"No! Callop, will not! Callop will run! Fire is Callop's bane!," it says making a hasty dash for the door.

You bash the cell door in with ease whether that is due to the age of the structure or to the fire you can not tell but your gazes falls onto the source of the sound you heard earlier.
Laying on the floor is a humanoid skeleton dressed in the tattered regalia of the purple dragons of Cormyr. Looking down you see that there is several cracks in the stone of the cell. The wind passing through it and the grisly remains causing a soft moaning sound when ever the wind passes.
"The beasts seem to have killed any and all of the young's defenders," says Gannor looking at the decayed heap.

You head out the door with Gannor right behind you. You can not be sure but did the skeleton with the tattered flesh sit up as you both left the guard room? Or was it a trick of the smoke and dust? Either way it makes no difference as the ceiling collaspses and Gannor pushes the heavy door shut,his clothing smoking a little from the heat. You both quickly look around there appears to be a short hall in front of you and a heavy oaken door beyond. Looking left and right are two other rough stone and mud halls, roots and crawlers dripping from them.
The right one seems to go for some distance, The left appears to turn south after a bit.

From a slit in the mud and stone, much too narrow for most creatures, an ash-colored lizard is breaking into the hall. He squirms and writhes and wriggles until he is free, then turns and reaches back into the opening to dislodge his gear and retrieve it from the opening. Once he'd redressed himself, he begins looking around again, brushing a bit of mud from his scales as he thinks, drawing a long clicking from his throat. His eyes land on the two fleshlings who seem to have found their way in as well. They aren't goblins, at least. Gecko lays a hand on the hilt of his short sword at his side and mutters quietly to himself in Draconic, but otherwise stays still and mostly silent, trying to assess the situation.

Gecko brushes himself off, then flicks his tail a bit. Finally, the last thing he pulls on is a straw hat, with rings set in to allow his horns to protrude through it. No shoes and not a scrap of armor, just a long coat and wrappings for his limbs. Gecko is only a little over 2 feet tall.

"Dwarf thing...Man thing..." He spoke to himself a bit, then nods. "My name is Gecko. Yes. I am hunting goblins. They are causing problems, yes? I am here to stop them. You may help if you want." Gecko spoke with an air of confidence that was far larger than his body itself. He drew the single-edged sword from his waist, then nods. "Kelemvor comes for them tonight, yes yes. I help you find...bairn...The goblins stole your farm house?"

Gannor nods and follows the party.
(I am assuming Gannor is in the rear. and that Gecko is in the front with the rest in the middle?)

The hall is very wet and dank, small pools of murky water make small splashes as you make your way further. The wall themselves are mostly earthen with some stones here and there giving the passage its angles,but the walls have roots poking through here and there while earth worms work their way along the walls and the roots,occasionally falling into the muddy water. The air heavy and humid reeks of damp earth and rot. Turning the corner you all see that the passage does indeed proceed to the south. This runs for several yards before terminating to a large opening/large stone room to the passages left. To the right about 20 feet south the passage makes a hard right. Into a side passage that appears to be more stone in construction then earthen walls. Either the dungeons is part of some ancient ruins that have been swallowed by the earth.
(Not surprising if so, as much of ancient Phlan is built on the bones of past settlements. For the new players, the current year is 1330 DR.)

You all hear the distant sound of footfalls behind you towards the direction you have been prior. More monsters/guards?

Ok. Guthrir you duck down a smaller passage. One that is made entirely of stone. There is a slight incline up so the water on the passage outside has not made it up this far. Looking around you see a dead end hallway that ends about 25' ahead. There is a bias relief ahead of you. That of a large leering face. The face is that of a human or demi human. Cut of green stone, it's jet black eyes stare at you. Looking further you notice that stone work on the face has been etch and chiseled  to look like leaves,vines,and flowers in it's beard and as a wreathe around it's head. Along the passage there are two doors on either side. Their heave wood adorned with brass handholds and keyholes. More cells? or something else.

Ando you turn the corner and it does not take long for you to spot the source of the noise. There is a "seek and destroy", warband(5 orcs) of orcs headed your way. Their haste making them splash and run noisily , their heavy breathing,grunts,and curses bouncing off the walls. They haven't spotted you yet, but if Gannor is going to follow you,(or is he going in Guthrir's direction), it will be the same as lighting a flare to the orcs!

Uh, yes. He's trying the door beside the face. If it's not locked, he'll open it.
Although, all this deliberation makes me nervous. He's going to cast Guidance and stay wary for traps.

After examining the resplendent handle in the oaken(?) doors, the dwarf grips one and tries to open. He has an acute sense that he's about to intrude on a holy place--and yet, the need is great! What can he do?--so his lips move in a muttered prayer beseeching his Lady's intercession on his behalf.
"Goddess, ye're mother ta all the races an' fren' ta all gods'a righteous intent. Please preserve us from those with evil hearts an' bless our feet in yer ways of life and fellowship."
He steels himself with a deep breath. "Ah loov ye, miLady." And with that, he opes the door.

(That will be the one to the south)
You open the door and the smell of damp earth and stone welcomes you. As does the sounds of lapping waters. Looking in you see what can only be described as a sunken shrine to some god. You see a collapsed cistern and fountain still bubbling pure, cool waters. A far cry from the fetid draugth just paces away. Looking up you see that the roof has collapsed and beams of sun light shine through. From an angle you can even make out the form of the base of a tree and the sounds of birds chirping.

He was prepared to pull the dark elf in the room at least if need be. But to expose him to the light? Was that not fatal?
He had seen a dark elf beauty before when he had scarcely been on this side of the world. Her beauty had enchanted him, and it took him all his will to resist her. besides her beauty, he remembered her almost feral fear of sunlight.

Ando kept his head low in the room, not looking up at the light. "I was forced to serve the armies of Unthalass for almost one hundred years. They cared not for the underworld and I fought many battles in the sun."

He used his dagger to cut two strips of cloth from his black linen pants, then tied both of them around his eyes.

"There are more senses than sight. Perhaps this is what drew me to search peace as a monk when I was freed."

the NPC orcs, rolled 12 using 1d12 ((12))
The party making their way to the surface enter the daylight just ahead of the orcs. You can hear them just outside the door to the small shrine you all escaped through.
Listening carefully the sounds of the orcs grunting and jabbering echos upwards,
"Methinks someone was here after what happened in the cells. "Looks! They have left through the earth female's shrine!"
"No Carlar! The earth wench blasts all that enter . The interlopers would be ash had they entered! "
*snort snort* (Third voice),"Let us leave before the earth maidens return! She is wrath and lighting!"
(Fourth voice),"Snag is right. Let us take our leave but leave a sentry here outside the shrine. Agreed?"
"Agreed!!" you hear the sound of 5 voice say all at once.
Moments later you hear a door close shut.

Ando takes the leather with his free hand, gripping hard to the rock above them. He runs his thumb along the leather and frowns. “Thank you Gannor, but I won’t be able to see through this at all. I shall cut another strip of linen when it is safe to do so.” He hands the leather back. “What do we make of what the Orcs said? If only a sentry remains we can prevail against him and continue below. Yet this talk of the earth maidens is curious.”

You both follow an almost totally obscured foot trail. It is overgrown with wild weeds and more tender grass. Even the odd bramble pokes here and there. As you both follow the trail you both notice that the air becomes still and the birds have stopped singing. The only sound is that of a distant lapping wet weather brook and the crickets underfoot.

The dwarf slows to a stop and cocks his head. He studies the vines along the side of the trail, then looks up into the branches. He steps over to a tree, rests one hand on its trunk, and closes his eyes, listening.
Without opening them, he calls out in a clear voice, "Alloo? We know yer'ere, lass, so ye might's well come oot. We're not here to fight."

Ando completely removes his blindfold and squints in the bright light, his headache has mostly faded and he has grown used to the sun once again.

He casually walks through the plant growth, appreciating it so much more after months underground. For a drow, he has spent most of his life above ground and in the sun, and has taken warmth for granted.

Zeliel wakens from his rest to hear talking not too far away.  He stands and stretches and then makes his way to the sound of the voices only to realize that he is not where he thought he was.  What happened last night? he thought to himself.

Not knowing what else to do, he walked in the direction of the voices.  He saw one of the people taking off some kind of wrapping from his eyes...perhaps they were playing a game of some kind.  Moving his shoulders a bit and opening and closing his mouth to work the film out a little, his breath would be rank so he needed to keep his distance.  As he got close enough to speak in a normal voice, he called out to the group:

"Greetings friends!  I am Zeiliel, just a wandering arcanist always looking for where my particular talents can be helpful.  Can someone tell me where I might find myself at the moment?  It seems that I perhaps found a drink that was a bit to potent for me.  That is what I get for trying to out-drink a dwarf!"

Guthrir nods his acknowledgment at the new face and turns his focus back to the weeping. There's something off about this. His fingers itch for the cool strength of his axe. He doesn't want to give the wrong impression, though, so he contents himself with resting one hand on his weapon as he presses forward.

OOC: Oh that's what we were doing. Ha!

Trust was never easily given, especially being drow, he had worked hard to gain favor with Guthrir and Gannor. Yet as he looked Zeliel over, the man's aasimar features charmed Ando, and he was content that he was friend not foe.

Good enough to turn his back toward. Ando continued to head toward the crying until he could see who it was.

Pushing forward the party comes into a clearing. The air is heavy and with an even colder chill in the air. So much so that the foliage and leaves are tinged with edges of frost. Seated on a large stone by the babbling brook,is a half elven female. Dressed in the manner of a noble of some import,she has her face in her hands and is weeping. The air is surprisingly still and as you enter a sudden sadness is felt dominating the clearing. The only sound it that of the passing cold waters.

(LOL! I would too! Good roll Guntrir! The fickle gods of the dice have smiled upon you!)

The nat 20 has the following effect(s) in game.

Guthrir and the party look around the scene becoming as clear and the water running past the frost covered banks of the brook.
The phantom you realize in that of a long dead elven noble. Likely of one of the more civilized tribes that had adopted human ways. As your gaze follows the spot that her eyes linger on, you see a very old headstone. So old is it that time and the elements have washed and eroded the etchings almost away.You can however make out a sigil ,barely visible on the stone of a fallen druid. Very strange that a druid would be buried like civilized men. Along the length of the long sunken and overgrown final resting place of the druid you see among the wild growth,there a ghostly glowing roses laid on the grave similar to the one held in the phantom girls hand.

lol Glad you asked, actually. So in that one post, you could tell that he made a Dwarven curse, switched back to Druidic with an apologetic tone, and then slipped in a skosh of Elven before he finished. Guthrir is... an unusual dwarf.
Oh. But his Elven has an atrocious Dwarven accent. He's obviously not fluent.

Guthrir looked over his shoulder at Zeliel with a grimace. "Ye're not wrong, laddie. Let's take a look, then, shall we?"
He turns back to the ghost. «Aye, lass.» He kneels at the grave.
In Common, he prays, "Great Mother, Ah honor thee. Forest Father, Ah honor thee. May yer gracious bounty follow the memory of the departed and give his soul mercy. May yer restful peace follow this dedicated spirit and set her soul at ease. May yer watchful eyes follow us and give us the strength to aid the living in this, yer great an' green world."
The dwarf raises his head and takes a careful look at the stone and the area surrounding it.

Ando bowed his head in reverence. Though he long ago stopped believing in prayer, he respected nature, and of course, the power within one's own spirit, regardless of who he prayed to. He respected Guthrir of course, and let the druid continue to lead this investigation.

Ando rubbed his hands together until they burned against the freezing air and then held them to his chest, warming himself.

After the prayer the ground over the grave begins glowing. Or at least a portion of it. It seems to be situated towards the top of the damp earth over the grave. A warm yellow glow that pulses growing bright then fading to almost nothing in a rhythmic pattern.
Upon seeing this the phantom's eyes go wide and she points again to the ground with force and purpose , her arm and finger indicating something of importance. She speaks no words yet the only sounds are that of mocking crows and chill fall rain dropping in heavy drops off leaves to the forest floor.

Before long ,moving away the moist crumbling earth you discover remains. It is a body of a human human male it seems. The skeleton structure belies his heritage and age. Based on his burial clothes he appears to have been a druid of Eldath. He was buried in a simple wrapping and as you cut open the burial shroud you notice among the various crawlers and insects escaping their carnal abode, that there appears to be  items of interest. One is what appears to be a preserved or lacquered fist sized acorn. Another is a curious set of keys on a mechanical key ring. These keys seem to have jointed parts that when folded or opened either extend,shorten,or change the entire shape and nature of the rings.
There are also five elixirs or potions in the grave of various colors and viscosity.

(At this point everyone receives 100 XP points. Depending on their next actions this could increase. I of course run a slower xp/level progression game,i.e. 300 to next level becomes 3000, 2500 becomes 25000,ect)

Guthrir's first interest is for the large acorn, but he also takes the elixirs and studies them carefully. He uncorks each and sniffs it, then dips a finger into the liquid and tastes a drop.
His fingers are clean as a dwarf's. And a druid's.
He tosses the keys to whichever of his companions looks the most interested in them. Locks and such aren't his strong suit.

When you remove the items. A small blue haze the fist of a child's fist begins to manifest over the druids corpse .

This then rises up and attaches itself to Cheryl's outstretched hand. A moment or two later the orb becomes the image of a tall handsome youth. The two phantoms embrace and turning to the party each holding their hand up palm out as a symbol of graditude, a look of happiness and peace on their faces. Then in a wink they are gone.

The acorn looks and weighs a bit . More then it should. There are some inscriptions in old Cormyrian which was a mixture of ancient human and elven. As to the elixirs 2( the sweet water tasting ones) are healing potions , One,(the one that tastes of tobacco) is a potion of hill giant strength, one that tastes like spoiled potatos) is a potion of gasious form,(the last one that tastes like very hot peppers),is a potion of fire breathe

Z, we climbed up from a cave with a few decent athletics checks, no big deal, we should be able to just climb back down. I wanna keep going with our original mission.

Returning to the cave meant leaving the freezing grove. Soon Ando felt warmth returning to his legs and he was ready to climb. “C’mon Guthrir, you have rope do you not? Look, this rock shall support you all. I can go down last, untying the rope so we still have it. Zaliel, well, no need for discussion, you’re welcome to join us.”

Perhaps it was the aasimar’s appearance that made Ando trust him with no questions. Or maybe Ando’s judgement was getting weak from the months of solidarity in these caves.

After a minute, a mass of entwined roots and vines snakes downward in a loose, corded tangle that presents plenty of hand- and footholds for the climbers.
The dwarven druid nods in satisfaction and pets one of the nearby trees affectionately. He starts down the easy climb hand over hand.

Like many of my ilk, I trained under the clergy thinking that was my lot in life.  I was wrong.  It seemed the blood in my veins drew on a more arcane might and leaning, so I was thrown...I mean...i chose to leave the clerical order in other pursuits.  I travel the realms seeing where I might give a hand in matters.  And now I find myself here!

Stretching your senses outward you get the most solid perception that the orcs while brutes did in fact leave a sentry behind. You can almost hear its low breathing on this side of the door. Seeing the realization on your face Gannor's eyes narrow as he draws on the bow string to his bow. He looks around the room to each party member his eyes speaking for him.

Zeliel nods and summons forth arcane energy, ready to unleash it at a foe.  He looks at the others who may not have noticed and with his eyes tries to tell them the story of the enemy that awaits...waiting for one a little stouter to lead the way, once the enemy is truly revealed he will unleash his arcane attack.

"Right." Ando whispered. He pointed at Gannor and made a gesture suggesting he's a jerk for going ranged. The fighter should go first, but it's not a problem, Ando isn't an armored tank, but most enemies will find it hard to hit him.

Ando will attempt to open the door with stealth and sneak attack...probably not strong enough to put the orc in a choke hold.

Ando Corleon rolled 15 using 1d20+7 ((8)).

Yes thanks. Got 26. That was stealth.

Next step is to try to choke hold/keep him from shouting for help, which figuring being a monk I can dex roll a choke hold but I rolled 10 on attack. Can I take advantage on my attack as well?

Re: Phlan and the Moonsea

Most kind and gracious DM! thank you! I also realized I can roll twice when i do unarmed strikes, and I forgot to add proficiency, so I was doing a lot of bad last week. :0
17:51, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 9 using 1d4+5.  dmg.
17:51, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 26 using 1d20+7.  bonus unarmed strike.
17:50, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 8 using 1d4+5.  dmg.
17:49, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 21 using 1d20+7.  finesse atk (inspiration).
15 damage total.

Casting his doubts and fears aside, Ando strikes at the pressure points in the orc's neck.

The orc grunts once sending spittle and mucus flying, before going rigid. It falls heavily onto the mud and flagstone floor,splashing on the small pools of water that have formed on the floor from the dripping ceiling overhead.

Re: Phlan and the Moonsea

Squeezing the orc's neck Ando realizes there is no pulse. "Oh..."

Ando had no individual quarrel against the orcs. Being a drow he didn't see things as black and white, and had resolved since his days as an Unthalass soldier to never kill again unless it was unavoidable. This could have been avoided.

"Rest in Grummsh's peace. Or war. Whatever suits your soul." He muttered.

Ando searches the orc for any loot and clues.

Going through the pouch you find that it hold 20 silver pieces. Each minted in the style of nearby Hillsfar. You also find a small flat smoothed piece of granite on a leather thong around the orcs neck.

Guthrir finds a pinky nail sized gem. A rough cut affair that had been cut and an attempt to smooth it done but still it has a few rough edges. You also find 7 copper pieces on the orc again minted from Hillsfar.

Ando puts the silver in his completely empty coin purse. It feels heavier than it really is, as he accepts the attachment to the world that money brings. Still, he is a long way from the monastery, and you can't buy provisions with smiles.

He puts the granite necklace on. He hasn't worn jewelry since leaving the Unther army.

Ando takes a pinch of the tobacco and puts it under his lip and grins, offering the pouch to Guthrir and Gannor. "Here's a nice pick me up. Don't try smokin' it, the smell will give us away in the dark before the sight of it does."

He takes the crossbow and bolts, arranging them in his mostly empty backpack so he can carry them without making noise.

He waves his hand at the sword and shield and then once the others are ready he opens the door.

After about 60 feet heading east the party comes to a wall. The passage turns to the left,(North) and to the right,(South). To the north there is the sound of water dripping on flagstone and small slimy wet things splashing around. To the south there is the soft sound of air being forced through narrow openings,(barely there), otherwise it is as dark and as quiet as a tomb to the south.

You move several feet north until the passage make a sharp right hand turn. The party follows until you all come to a + in the tunnels. To the north there is a door ajar leading to a large antechamber. Itself leading to the river that runs underground, where the party first entered the goblin hideout. Gannor eyes this from the party's location, wondering where the insane Slaad they encountered there has gone. To the south of the is a iron banded door,its swollen and waterlogged slime covered wood occasionally creaking.
To the east further down is a fork where the passage splits in two. There the walls are drier looking and have an air of being well traveled.

"Finally, perhaps this is where they went..." He heads toward the east fork, the well traveled area. As he passes the swollen door he shakes his head at it. "Don't get curious. We're here for a rescue, not exploration."

He continues to the east fork and takes the north route.
