As Mai'ngor moves to engage the enemies, they all groan loudly and fall to the ground, bleeding from their eye sockets.

Hunter approaches the fallen troglodytes to see if their weapons might prove useful to the freed dwarves. When she has the opportunity, she takes the signal horn.
Oct 11, 2018 7:08 pm
The smell of the troglodytes is nearly overwhelming. It's quite clear that they don't bathe with any regularity. Looking over the bodies, you don't find any weapons at all, but they have very sharp fangs and claws. The only belongings that are here is the horn.
Oct 11, 2018 7:14 pm
Hunter backs up without touching anything, covering her nose and mouth with her sleeve. Rather than approach physically, she sends a Mage Hand over to pick up the horn.

Weren't there chests in the room with the pit? I would think we would have investigated them before moving on. (sorry I'm so slow to post that)Oct 12, 2018 12:58 am
Treasure from the Boxes
Four zurkhwood boxes hold a 50-foot length of spider-silk rope, four flasks of oil, twenty pounds of rancid food, a pile of moldy blankets, six maces and sixteen javelins (all battered but usable), four casks of unspoiled wine worth 10 gp each. Another, smaller, chest contains 180 gp (minted in Menzoberranzan and Gracklstugh), three gems each worth 50 gp each, a potion of gaseous form, and a +1 dagger with silvery, weblike filigree worked into the hilt. The dagger is clearly of drow manufacture.

If Melpomene discloses what was found, Hunter would offer the weapons to the dwarves, and eagerly tries to confiscate the wine over anything else.Oct 12, 2018 7:40 pm
Peering around for any other surprises, Hunter will notice that Elayna isn't in the room. In fact, she doesn't think she's seen her since they saw the prisoner and found the secret tunnel.
Oct 12, 2018 7:44 pm
Hunter touches a finger to her lips in thought. She turns to the secret tunnel, figuring that if Elayna did not advance with everybody, she must still be in the other room. With a hand on the copper wire wrapped around her ear, Hunter sends a Message to Elayna, reasoning that if the other doesn't reply, she's not in the room. Are you there, dear?

Hunter tsks. "We've lost someone," she says. "I'm heading back to see if I can find my wayward friend." She moves back for the secret tunnel.

"You should not go alone," Melpomene says as she follows.
OOC:
She would have told everyone about the contents of the chests, and absolutely would want the dwarves to arm themselves.
Oct 14, 2018 11:57 am
"We should all stay together." Mai'ngor murmurs. He quickly takes the gems and five javelins for himself, hands Hunter the potion, and Melpomene the dagger, tosses Elfog the rope and a bottle of wine, and the dwarves their choice of weapon. "Alright, let's go find Elayna."

The dwarves each take a mace and a pair of javelins. They immediately seem more confident and their malnourishment isn't as obvious now. They follow behind you through the secret tunnel, where you find Elayna laying on her belly and peering over the lip of the steep slope leading into the cavern. She seems to be watching something over by the prisoner's rise and doesn't hear you approach.
Oct 14, 2018 5:03 pm
Hunter crouches down, elbow on her knees, watching over Elayna as the other observes. Finally, she touches her copper wire and sends a Message, What are you doing?

Elayna looks back for just a moment and then points in the direction of the prisoner's rise. Now that she's pointed him out, you can barely see Sarith stealthily climbing the rise, totally unknown to the troglodytes guarding the prisoner. They all seem more intent on the conflict down below.

Hunter rolls her eyes, then concentrates on Sarith to deliver another Message with the same content, What are you doing?

Sarith doesn't bother looking back, but Hunter gets the reply in her head, Rescuing the hostage. Clearly.

Hunter says, dejectedly, "He's freeing the prisoner."
As an afterthought, she adds, "5 gold he manages to succeed without being caught."

Elayna begins to look anxious as Sarith approaches the back of the troglodyte group, but it doesn't appear that they've spotted him yet.
