Descent into the Underdark

Ander looks at his companions and shrugs. Any ideas, he asks. Unable to discern any signs of dark mantle, our knightly fellow simply begins running the telescopic pole up along the ceiling. Hoping he might literally scrape it up against such a hidden monster in-waiting.

Belagroff clears his throat and then he shouts

Come out, come out whereveryou are! Come and play! Baby wants to give you a kiss!

Then he looks at Ander and shrugs

A bit stumped you return to the research camp in the nearby cave and after discussing the idea of luring out the darkmantle with food it is agreed that this plan should work. You are authorized to go up and get either a pig or a side of meat to aid you in your mission. You quickly make your way up to the base and return with everything you think you might need.
List supplies you take and specify what you are using for bait. Supplies are listed in the Stores section of the ~Tiny Info~ sheet (see below the "Rolls" section for the in page button or open the sheet from the "Characters" menu at the bottom of the page)
Then set out the plan you want to use to lure out the darkmantle.

Ander acquisitions a side of meat, and maybe just enough rope to lash it onto his pole. He allows his companions to list whatever else they think they need, then heads back to the area.
Hopefully this might work, exclaims our knightly fellow.
Ander lashes the side of meat to Ye Ole Telescopic Pole and moves it around the ceiling. Time to go fishing!

Having retrieved your supplied you are heading back to the darkmantle area when you see a torch in up ahead of you. The torch is off to the side of the main path and is moving around as if searching for something.
Dec 24, 2023 6:26 pm
Ander follows along the torchlight. Staying to side of the cavern wall, with trusty sword ready!
Hello..anyone here?
Dec 24, 2023 8:06 pm
The torch starts moving closer and a being made of crystal appears before you. In your mind you here. "Hello. Did you see which way a pair of Goblins went?" The voice is monotone and flat in nature.

Nope. Havent seen any goblins. Looking for Dark Mantles. Whatever those are..
Dec 25, 2023 12:22 am
Belagrof and Ander are aware that the Expedition has had trouble with the goblins. The Hobgoblins continue to be an opposing force but the goblins and bugbears do not always work for them. The goblins are still known to be in the area and were in fact infiltrating the base though the tunnels that are under it but those have been seized and sealed up as well as are now patrolled regularly. The goblins had dug or discovered tunnels into the basements and those were collapsed.
OOC:
I want to get Ishzu into your group at least for a bit so please work to help make that happen.

Emerald green eyes gaze upon the crystalline person.

No goblins, Ander replies. But my friends and I are seeking to vanquish dark mantle from the realm. Would you care to help us? In return, we will help you with your goblin problem. Right, friends?
Dec 25, 2023 2:35 am
Speaking into each of their minds "Sounds good to me. I am Ishzu. What should I call each of you?" He offers a crystal like hand to shake each of yours.
Now that he is closer and in the light you see he only carries a simple backpack, a torch and a staff...
Dec 25, 2023 4:12 pm
Ander greets his new crystalline friend.

I’m Ander. Ander An’Derson! The knightly fellow really accents his surname. Like it’s supposed to MEAN something! This stout one here is Belagroff of Clan Bearjaw, and that over there is Garic of…well I think he’s just Garic, actually.

Happy day and well met to you, Ishzu. Your name is truly wonderful!

Garic

Garic
I have a family name but as I am not serving the family profession at this time I have given it up for a life of adventure the cheerful goblin replies as he hefts his two shields.
Dec 26, 2023 1:03 am
It was the only word my creator left me. I no not what it means. Looking to Garic "Are you friends with the goblins I am looking for? I was following them just now but lost them."

Shaking his head Garic replies No, my tone of hat from here in the Divine Nations to the East.
I have met these a couple of times but they are wild and aggressive. Some are more friendly that others. Others cute me as a traitor.
and he shrugs.
Dec 26, 2023 2:20 pm
He nods understanding I do not know where thr Dark Mantle you seek is. I have only just arrived in these caves. I meet a farmer a little ways back. Maybe he knows. He speaks to the group.
Dec 26, 2023 4:09 pm
Ander continues running the telescopic pole along dungeon-darkened ceiling. And now complete with tasty side of meat!

[ +- ] Telescopic Pole of Immobility
OOC:
Added details to the pole but it always became immobile when extended.
Garic
A local farmer might know how to get rid of Darkmantle as I am sure they would bother him.
Dec 26, 2023 6:02 pm
Our knightly fellow surely gets a great workout. Attempting to run an immobile pole along the ceiling. Gotta work those shoulders!

Invigorated, Ander replaces Ye Ole Telescopic Pole into his trusty backpack. Very good then, let us confer with the good Farmer. Ishzu, will you lead us back to the Farmer please?

Perhaps we can bargain him with this tasty side of meat!
