Can you do some of your fancy tinkering to make its map visible to us all or to allow it to communicate to the group?"
OOC:
That is actually a good question. Perhaps he could rig something with his Battlecat, Krinn is an item designed to interact with warforged, he will NOT get control over the battlecat, but observational and communicational abilities
OOC:
If you want to tinker for a day, I think that you can create an apparatus that would permit Krinn to transmit, in similar fashion to that platform where you encountered him.

OOC:
Unless anyone object to the time spendt, as we are on a deadline, then Kevin will tinker for a day, to allow the rest of the party to interact with Krinn

Or else he can bring the equipment and tinker away doing long rests

It was intended as a passing thought as we were leaving, so I vote we roll out

After some time taken, Kevin fashions a pairing between his metal companion and Krinn, where a speaker and a small 3-dimensional projector are controlled by Krinn, but higher functions of Kevin’s cat are still controlled by the cat itself.

The projections that Kevin witnessed are now viewable by the whole group, and Krinn’s "voice" can be heard by the group with the speakers.

"Alright, our point of entry is found here:" and a map of Stormreach’s surface appears, and a red waypoint is added to the map, and a little image of the ball floats over that waypoint marker (it is in the Marketplace district).

"The first level of the place is a junction for the many caverns of this place.

"The first place we could head to is a small library in the first floor, and maybe we can find some of the writings of Grendl’sir."

"Then let us not waste any time, and be away to this library." Mrak takes the lead to the Marketplace district.

"Yup. Before I get any older," the druid grumbled but had a smirk on his face. "I came to Xen'drik hoping to find rare plants and fungi. There should be wonderful specimens down there."

Gunnar doesn't complain. Gunnar has a love of stories, but books? He prefers the stories told the old fashioned way, around a campfire by a seasoned orator. But this wasn't an excursion for pleasure reading. Many a power-hungry being in search of dark secrets and lore were attracted to libraries, and it would grow his reputation to add a wizard or three to the notches on Fuldmåne.

He hops to his feet, ready to strike out into the underground.

Alin brushes some unseen dirt from their tunic and follows Mrak in silence. As Alin walks, they toy with the ornamental dagger that never leaves the sheath at their hip.

Everyone prepares and heads out to the Marketplace, and you identify a secret tunnel entrance in an alleyway, and you manage to discretely open it, enter it, and close it behind you. The tunnel is dark, but you see it is about 15 feet high and wide. You walk along the path for a time, and over time the path narrows down to about 10 feet by 10 feet. Eventually you see the low-light din of everbright lanterns along the walls.

Can you give me a marching order? It will influence who encounters what first, if anything.

OOC:
I'll take the lead unless anyone objects.

Gunnar will bring up the rear.

"Surely the torches haven't burned for tens of thousands of years," the druid suggested. "Perhaps others explore, too."

Ghillie stayed in the middle of the group, ready to camouflage them if necessary.

Alin follows directly behind Mrak, keeping in the shadow of the big Orc.
"These tunnels are too small to be ancient giant paths, perhaps they are more the recently created under belly of the modern city."
Alin looks for signs of thieves cant on the walls indicating use of these tunnels.

"We got those continual flame torches in the north, and they'll still be burning long after thousands of years. Beats lighting the damn things every few hours."

Gunnar will inspect a torch to see if it is a continual flame torch or the standard variety.

You don't see thieves' cant, but you see signs of more recent use.

The torch looks like the workings of a continual flame spell, based on your experience.

Kevin, the second in the marching order, followed by battlecat, agrees with assessing of the continual flame spells. They are very common

He studies the map to find the best route to the library. He questions Krinn about different markings on the map and is perhaps more engaged in that conversation than in the current tunnels there are in.

"Yes but to stay lit for so long? Remarkable."
May 23, 2022 2:27 am
There are signs that others have been down here recently, but no indication as to what they were doing.
May 23, 2022 10:19 am
"Maybe they sought the same information as we do."

OOC:
One other question: does Mrak first travel down path A or path B?
