Deeper Underdark

"I say we grab the bodies and take them and stash them back where we hiding after we search them real quick and then move out."

"Good shot Stee" Brewner says quite pleased. " Yes better to hide them" Brewner goes to the Duergar that tried to get away, before pick him up he gives a quick search to the bodie.

Both of the guards are well equipped with well crafted chain shirts, leather leggings, metal helms, and short swords. Between the two of them you find 27 silver pieces (apparently their "spending money"). For any of the duende, it is possible you could disguise yourselves by wearing their outfits. It won't pass a close inspection, of course, but at a distance, it might be enough ...

Ealdwig holds up the helm, looks around at the group and shrugs what'd'ya think? Good disguise or a waste of time. Sniffs it, shrugs again and puts it on, then holds his arms out in a questioning look.

"Eh, I think it suits you. I'd definitely shoot you on sight."

Oliver gets a hold of and drags the second duergar following Brewner, stashing the poor lad in their hideout corner.

"I get the feeling we're nearly there. It's been a long way, and I'm really itching to find what we'll find next."

"Yes maybe our two smaller companions can wear the armor and pose as guards leading us somewhere if need be."looks to Yoci "Which way now?"

While Ealdwig and Grin don the guards' attire, Yoci tries to get her bearings. You have to try a couple false leads first to get out of the winding passages, but believe you have found the correct passage and move on your way. As you leave the winding passage area, you think you think you hear calls. It would appear that the missing guards have been noticed as missing, but you don't know if the bodies have been found yet.

Given a little urgency, you continue on the journey for a couple hours. You enter a small cavern, not much more than a very wide portion of the passage way, when you see a group of five guards ahead that appear to be dressed similarly to Ealdwig and Grin. You need to get past them to continue on. However, they are not acting like they expect any trouble or know that anything unusual is up.

"Should we just walk through like you two are taking us somewhere? Or should we surprise them?"

Good question Stee. I don't speak duerger.

"Perhaps I can try to convince them that Stee and I are recruits to spy on the dwarves and are being escorted. The Dwarves will never expect surface humans to work for the Duergar. What do you think?"

"A large muscular human with heavy step and intense gaze as if wanting to devour the world? Yeah, I agree, they wouldn't see that coming for a spy. Let's do that."

"Also add that this otterfolk along with the dwarf are prisoners you found along the way, and that she will help you navigate inside the city."

"Let's do this. Brewner spin the tale. Everyone else be ready."

"Hello mighty Duergars, keep your weapons sheathed as we are on the same side. We already cross a scouting party not long ago, and i wish not to waste more time with explanations as we have urgent business, and are already being escorted as you can see" Brewner says with a confident voice, both his face and body language shows seriousness.
Ealdwig and Grin should be visible, but in the back avoiding show too much details, a friendly wave would be good from them.
Brewner, Stee and Oliver are at the front, Yoci in the middle for now avoiding being seen.

Oliver makes sure to seem extra busy by melodramatically carrying the immovable rod in ladder mode.

The guards look at each other in a bit of confusion, and wave you on. While you pass, one says to Ealdwig and Grin, "Don't let anyone else catch you working with outsiders."

You confidently pass them without any challenges and move on, quickening you pace when you are out of range in case they figure it out late. Out of earshot Yoci says, "We're really close. Let's not slow down now!"She is obviously very excited to get home.

"Well done Brewner!" looks at Yoci "Yes, lets get you home."
