Act 1, Scene 1: "Through the Undergrowth" (Main Game Thread)

[Sol Mazer]

Van will poke around the bodies looking for missives, ranks, currency... anything that would show signs of where these creatures have been or where they live. Artifacts of their life... And a dagger. He'll try and find a dagger he could use.

Rolls for that?

[TristenC]

Garroth searches in the corner for and gathers his dagger while Nocturno executes one of the unconscious goblins. Together they head southward, ignoring the passage to the north for now. The Minotaur leads the way, distancing himself from the lights. He has to squeeze past a narrow space, but the passage wodens considerably soon after. He tests the air, but the entire place reeks of goblin.

Meanwhile Van pokes around the bodies, but doesn't find any daggers worth having (a stone knife is the only thing he finds in that vein.) He does recover a handfull of coins among the dead (8 sp, 13 cp). He also finds a few bits of semi-spoiled meat.

Nocturno follows in his clacking armor, and their eyes soon adjust. A pair of narrow crevices reveal themselves to the west; for too small for the ranger to employ, and likely exceedingly difficult for the armored elf. The passage to the south is wide enough for Garroth to squeeze through without trouble, but it splits soon after to the South and West.

[Nocturno]

Nocturno will return to the main room, having followed the Minotaur farther than he had first thought about going.

He will then head to Linar and see what the drow had observed.

[Sol Mazer]

Van will check that North passage. Just to be sure nothing else is coming. The elf shutters the light and moves in the opening, allowing low loght vision to help him make his way.

[ausie]

In the darkness, with the clanking Nocturno having turned back, Garroth is now in his element..

He will locate a track heading south, and silently move forward on hands and knees, following the scent attempting to sneak up on anothenr goblin...

Track by scent (base 50% 10 or under on D20). [1d20] = 6

[Rivi]

Elden resting against the wall sees the elf returning "so what now?"

[TristenC]

Vanidur:
Van moves northward past the human guarding the unconscious goblin. He shuts his light off and the flare has burned down by now, plunging himself and Elden into darkness. Gradually his infravision returns and he proceeds forward. The northern chamber is small, and scattered with trash. A few filthy animal skin pallets and dirty straw are here along with a little food and earthen vessels for drinking. A pair of bone dice lay on the floor, but not much else. It appears to be a waiting room, apparently for extra guards for the entrance.


Nocturno:
Returns to find Vanidur has shut the light out and left the entry room. The flare has burned down to nothing and Elden continues to guard the unconscious goblin, though now he is standing in the dark. Nocturno clinks off westward to find the Drow…

With the flare and staff lights out the human cannot see the elf run by, but rather hears him in his clinking armor. ”So what now?” he asks.


Garroth: [To the Private thread]

[Nocturno]

"We let our feline friend find some information. Work smarter not harder." he sighs. "Do you need some light?" this last bit is said a little smugly.

[Rivi]

elden shrugs then realizing the elf probably didn't see that "i can fight in the dark if this one wakes ill put him back to sleep"

[Sol Mazer]

Van lets the light shine and moves purposefully to detect secret doors on West wall and then North wall.

Rolled a 6 for west and 2 for North (both on US). Any luck?

[Nocturno]

Nocturno sees the goblin still laying prone with the human standing over it.

"Got enough chain to tie this thing up and bring it for a ride with your anvil?"

Then head over to see what Van is looking at.

[TristenC]

[Sol, typically 'secret door' searches are performed by the DM, as are hide and move silently checks]

Van takes about 5 minutes to search the walls east and north for any hidden areas. He slips fingers into nooks, pulls at small rock formations, peers into nooks and crannies, but doesn't find any triggers or openings.

[TristenC]

While Vanidur is searching, Garroth returns to the main room to find the human guarding the last goblin. Van and Nocturno are in a small room to the north where the Illusionist is checking the walls.

[Sol Mazer]

[Sol, typically 'secret door' searches are performed by the DM, as are hide and move silent.....

OOC: That is literally a first for me
30 odd years of gaming, never had a DM make those roll for me.

Van will look around, feel conident he didn't miss anything, and return to the entrance chamber.

[Nocturno]

Nocturno returns to the goblin. "So, anything interesting down there? He will think about kicking the goblin, but restrain himself. "Did they say how long they were going to be?" He will motion toward the passage where Linar and he would assume Katten went down.
