Pointing, What's going on over there? Doesn't sound or look good. Do we want to know or should we just head back?

Careful now Veilstitch, mind your surroundings, Grinfletch thinks to himself. His cloak changes to a very dark black with splotches of stone-grey, as he wraps the cloak a little more tightly around himself.

Skeeve says, "It didn't sound like they had a large party, and there were a lot of dark mantles when we found them before, so we probably should go help them out! Think of it as a chance to try out that new bow."
- The cave with the pink slime and mimic we killed.
- The cave past the cave fisher that lead to the tunnel to the ooze.
- The spider cave. I seem to remember it having natural light in it, but we couldn't find out if it was an exit because of the webs and spiders.
Plus, of course, the cave fisher, dark mantles, the pad and pool, the tunnel further down, and an empty cave or two.
Also, if I remember correctly, Blornvid's armor came from the dark mantle cave that I successfully dragged out while we retreated.

As for the new map, that's fine. Things happen. The main areas I remember finding are:- The cave with the pink slime and mimic we killed.
- The cave past the cave fisher that lead to the tunnel to the ooze.
- The spider cave. I seem to remember it having natural light in it, but we couldn't find out if it was an exit because of the webs and spiders.

Apologies again for the late response. You guys were busy while I was busy with other (non-gaming) matters.daryen says:
With that, Skeeve finally shuts up and lets Blornvid and Ealdwig add whatever they want, and for the newbies to ask questions.Jan 11, 2024 3:46 am

Yeah, the map is off a bit, particularly on the bottom half, but no worries. Daryen covered the encounters that took place in the missing section. Is this where we split up? Blornvid, Skeeve, and Arkmenos are still heading back to the Manor, right?

I think the plan is for everyone to join the fight, then we split up. Think of it as an opportunity for revenge on the dark mantles.Jan 11, 2024 3:57 am

Oh ok. Those things were annoying. Skeeve and Blornvid have both advanced a bit since then. Maybe that plus all of the newcomers will take care of them once and for all.Jan 11, 2024 4:02 am

"Think of it as a chance to try out that new bow."To Ealdwig: A nice weapon. Though will it match the crossbow or the sling? He points to Oliver’s sling weapon. Oliver, Ealdwig, what say you both to a little competition? Whoever lands the most shots is the best shot?
He gives the party one of his winning grins and loads his crossbow.

Giving a little smile um, sure. I've shot it once or twice at the shop yesterday when I bought it. I should be an expert now right? He smiles wider with a small nervous giggle and takes the bow into his hands. Are we doing this? Thinking to himself, what is a darkmantle? How bad can it be?

Moving to assist the group sees two figures standing between 2 thick black clouds that sit like mist and are about 40 feet across. The figures, a gallant knight with sword and armo and a crystalin biped, are attacking a strange creature that is wrapping tentacles around an ugly creature that resembles a cross between a slug and slamander. A third figure, this one dwarfish, burst from one of the clouds and finishes off the odd looking tentacled thing.
You continue your approach only to loose sight of them as another dark cloud pours from above to shroud them three in darkness despite having torches and the knight wearing a helm that shone like a lantern.The darkness that now hide the other adventurers is still a ways off.
It wil take 2 rounds of double movement to reach the darkness. There are currently no target visible

In the Tavern enters human male, with dark brown hair and eyes. He have a strong frame and two handed Warhammer resting on his shoulder.
The smell of food and drink put a smile on his face that he can not contain.
While walking towards the counter he says:"My good innkeeper the best food and the best mead, it has been a wicked journey"

Hello everyone, hope to have the opportunity to have fun with you allFeb 18, 2024 1:18 pm
Ha! Was your mother a giant, lad?! Grinfletch, a 3ft, 10inch Duende (halfling) enters the tavern and swaggers over to the bar. I’ll have what he’s having! Matter of fact, put his order on my tab! My good man - he turns back to the large human - I am about to get drunk, and I think you look like a good drinking partner. How’s about it? Wait, where’s Oliver?! Oi, Oliver! He looks around for his friends but quickly turns back to say, My name’s Grinfletch, Master Duende Dungeoneer, nice to meet you, pleasure is all mine - Oliver Otter! Where’d you get to?! He hops off to find his buddies.

Ishzu is a crystalized humanoid. He stands about 5ft tall and has a modest staff and pack on his back.
Once in camp he heads to speak to Fiznik.

Into ye ole Tavern strolls a knightly fellow! He wears a very chic breastplate, an armor forged of what appears a very exotic material, he wields sword and shield, and gazes valiantly through emerald eyes. He speaks and swags with a contagious enthusiasm. And his medium-length blonde hair is perfect!
Ho there, Warhammer-wielding one! Haven’t seen you around here before, that I best recollect. Please allow myself to introduce my…self! I am Ander, a brave n’ bold knight of the order. These are my fellow adventurers, we now just in from delving dungeons darkly.
Well met, I’m very sure!

After a moment, the door swings open again, and in comes a hurried otterfolk in a black decorated cloak, with vials around his belt pouch. He was of humanoid size, and spoke with broad gestures and delighted tones.
"I'm sorry for the delay. I just HAD to tell the dockmaster about our adventures and misadventures to see if he was as stoic about it as the first time we met. Let me tell you, that fella surely has seen weird stuff."
"Hey Grin, who's that? My-my, what determined eyes! You have surely come to conquer the world, yet also seem to be happy with a glass of good mead. Cheers for that! Pleased to meet you. Oliver Otter is the name. Alchemist mysteries is the business. We'll get along, I'm sure."
And he shook the hand of the strong man with the warhammer.

"I see I'm in good company, adventurers! Tell me about your mighty deeds while we dry this tavern. If Grinfletch is paying the first i sure will pay for the second", he tries to signal the innkeeper:"Innkeeper keep the mugs coming for me and my friends".
Turning back to the group: "Name is Brewner of Nordic, blacksmith by trade but i have been seeking adventure, guess that storm of wicked sorcery brought me to the right place, ancestors protect me"

Brewner, my good man, I will tell you all about our adventures in the underdark! But first, what’s all this about wicked sorcery?! He takes a big sip of local brew and sighs exaggeratedly.
