Tunnels

"Aye, we can stop there for lunch."

Skeeve asks, "How is everyone doing health-wise. That last attack was pretty nasty. But, given that last attack, and Raggy and I getting dropped by the fisher, we're pretty banged up."

"I've had worse, but I've no objections to heading back up to get us all patched up.

Hurts like hell but we will live

"I'd like to head back up and see if we can get some scrolls. I'd love some kind of "wildfire" scroll for those stupid spiders, and another Thorn scroll for those flying monstrosities. They suck! Plus I wanna see what the armor is."

Blornvid eyes the being who magically appeared with suspicion. It hasn't been a good day for the group, so he expects this to be another foul encounter. His muscles tense with anticipation of battle. "Who might you be?"

Not again!!!! Raggy says pulling out his crossbow ready to fire.

Standing before you is a tall black haired wolf man wearing clothes of green and grey. He is holding a horrifying eldritch looking crossbow aimed at you. Beside him is basically a large timber wolf. She bares her teeth and growling at you.


After a few seconds Ro( the wolf) lower her stance and starts sniffing. Her demeanor changes as she gets closer to the stranger and starts licking him like a friend. It’s almost like she can sense the spirits around the shaman and knows he a friend

As the portal closes the goblin suddenly realises that he had been a fool.
He felt right into the trap and was now lost somewhere far from his tribe.
Reajusting his horned skull helmet, he shakes his animal skin rags and look around.

He jumped when he hears from not far away "Who might you be?".
Moving into a defensive position, he somehow knew he wouldn't make it out alive if he attacked the group by himself.
Parlay was the only viable option.

"I am Gardakhan pupil of Indruk the spirit-speaker. I was hunting a creature hauting my tribes when I got transported here. Unless you means harm to my tribe, I no reason to fight you"

"I guess it depends on your tribe," Blornvid answers. But when Ro sniffs out the visitor and begins to lick him, Blornvid relaxes. "Well, Ro says you're alright, so we won't be fightin' you either." The dwarf lowers his axe, steps forward, and extends his hand. "Name's Blornvid. You've met Ro. Her companion is Raggy. And Mr. Wizard over there is Skeeve." He gestures towards the tiles. "How'd you get that thing to work?"

Given that the situation has been diffused and he has been introduced, Skeeve, steps up and follows Blornvid's comments with, "Yes, how *did* you get those tiles to work!? And what caused the transportation if you didn't trigger it?"

Skeeve is a human young adult of medium build. He has a mess of brown hair and eyes with bright green irises. He is carrying a suit of armor in one hand and a long hooked pole in the other. He is wearing a snazzy suit leather armor with dragon scales, though it looks like it needs some work.

Skeeve says, "I need to try something ...". He then carefully puts down the armor and pole, reaches out his hands toward the tiles (without touching them) and try to magically "feel" for what happened. Specifically, he is trying to see if he can recreate it if needed. However, he is trying to not trigger it, just see how it is happening/has just happened. He tries to memorize the pattern in the tiles and will write it down after his magical scan is completed (success or failure). He then looks at the newcomer and says, "I apologize for being so insistent, but did you see what the tiles on your side looked like before you came here? Was it the same pattern as here or was it different? If different do you remember the pattern?"

Once this is all done, he will put away his writing tools, pick up his Stick and reform it around his waist, and pick the armor back up so they can go wherever it is decided.

Skeeve repeats his question to the newcomer, "Do you remember the tile pattern before you were teleported?" If he does, Skeeve will write that down. He doesn't bother with the current configuration since it is how he last left it.

He then realized how rude he has been and says, "I am sorry for your misfortune. I don't know how to send you back. Honestly, I am still just learning how to better use my magic, and this tile thing is much more advanced than my knowledge.

"We've just had our butts kicked three times, so we're heading back to our base to heal up and eat. You are more than welcome to come with us."

"Alas I cannot fully answer your question. Everything happened so fast. I recall a pattern different from this one though not exactly what it was. Then there was a big hummmm and a portal appeared and a combat broke out. When I purchased my ennemy on the tiles...

Suddenly he realized that the spiderlike creature was nowhere to be found. Gardakhan tries to feel if the creature essence was nearby.

After a moment where he seemed to have spaced out he adds while reaching for something in one of his pockets "I can take a look at your injuries if you need. These herbs will surely help"
