What do you mean "it is dead to magic"? Dean wants a completely non-magical scroll case?Paphos Plaza Remnant

All items poses a bit of magical energy or at least react to it, like reflecting light from the sun. The scroll case is more like a pitch black pit. If you were not looking at it with your eyes physically your would not think it existed based on your magical senses.

OK, like reverse magic then. Got it.

The goblin takes a look at the ring before placing it on a metal plate with a crystal platter mounted above it. Glancing through the the crystal disc a slight flicker of greed crosses his face before he regains control. Though I still feel you have the advantage of the trade the ring is quite useful. Agreed. Pocketing the ring the goblin picks up the case and holds it out while his other hand is palm up, awaiting payment.

Skeeve reaches his hand out to Kaarik, who then reaches into his "pouch" where the servitor provides the 250 gp worth of small diamonds. Skeeve hands over the diamonds to the goblin and takes the scroll case. "Thank you. It has been a pleasure doing business," he says with a genuine smile.

Geis has found this place interesting but Servitor is prompting a quick return to Dean. With your primary objective completed you wander around to not draw too much attention. Heading back immediately or do you want to do something else first?

We want to take an indirect route back to the node and get out. I don't want to risk getting captured or whatever now.

The boss speech will be to the south. The closer we are to the speech, more people will approach that area. Let's go straight south, but away from the Boss' apeech.
We can pass the building we're we arrived at its west, and then go around it...

As you wander around, heading back to the room you arrived in you pass the platform/stage with its guards. The area around it stays mostly clear due to the rather surly disposition of the guards that are in full armor with helm so it is impossible to determine their race, save they are humanoid. As you meander you catch another snippet of gossip.
Piecing together things you have heard and filling in a few gap you gather there will be an auction some time soon. But you get the impression it will not be today but within the next several days. The invitations are likely for those deemed strong enough to bid on it, and their forces. The Expedition might want to learn more about this.
Upon arriving back at the building you arrived from you are a bit put out when you see a trail of smoke drifting out from one of the windows and several goblins loitering around the front of the door.

"That seems not good." Aizashi mumbles upon spotting the smoke and goblins.
"Maybe we can circle around and see what's going on?" He suggests after observing the situation for a little while.

"Might as well. This won't be an immediate teleport, so fighting our way in won't be helpful."
Is there any other entrance to the building?

Continuing to meander you circle around and from what you can tell the goblins are simply cooking a meal and relaxing in the shade of the building. when you get to close in you examinations a couple of the ones outside give you glares and tell you to "go delve yourselves elsewhere"

Kaarik whispers, This is not good, let's go. There must be another entry, I think I saw a door at the complete opposite side of the plaza.

I mean the last case at the east of the map. The small sign on it is a door right?May 30, 2024 12:58 pm
Based on what you have seen of the other Remnanats you have wander more than half of this one but must be in the intterior. You know there are gates on the outside, guarded by the goblins, but will have to leave the plaza to reach them. Which side of the Remnant do you want to go to for an exit?
May 30, 2024 1:05 pm
Well, we know one of the gates is not guarded. We presumed it was because they felt it to be too dangerous to do so because of barriers and such. Skeeve will keep that direction in mind in case we get desperate.
Also, how sturdy are those walls? Can we force an opening or use a window on the far wall? I could always use the tremor talisman, but I figure that would be too loud.

Wandering around you check out all the gates and they all have guards, but only 3 are standing open.
The walls are made of stone about 3 feet thick.

I meant the walls of the hut with the teleporter pad in it. :-) Can we make a "new door" in it without causing a commotion?
Also, after wandering around a while, are the goblins still camped outside the door we need? If so, Skeeve is going to go up and see if he can talk to them. No, I have a better idea.
What groups are around the clear area where the door is with the goblins in front? Is there a group of a different species hanging around somewhere nearby? I need another group of not-goblins nearby. Bonus for me if both groups are talking amongst themselves. The basic idea is that Skeeve is going to use his TK to pick up some random small rocks and throw them from the not-goblins at the goblins we want to move. All we need is a bit of a distraction to get into the hut. Once inside we should be OK, unless we encounter more in there, too. And I even have a plan for that, if needed ...

Telekinesis. One of his magic abilities is the ability to pick up items with magic and then throw them. Humorously, that is the primary intended purpose of the of the ability: to pick things up and throw them in combat. Skeeve never does that. Instead, he uses the pick things up part out of combat to solve problems, or to remotely open doors and things like that. I sometimes forget about the "and throw them" part. He also has a "force push" ability, but that ... actually, that's an option, too. Cool!Skeeve is going to remotely mess with these guys until they leave. Too bad he gave up the ring that would ensure he couldn't be spotted doing it.

The buildings of the Remnants are built of brick and are about 1' thick.
Though not crowded the are does have many others loitering, selling, and strolling around. As with most goblin groups, other thatn the guards, the ones in the building are under the eye of a bunch of kobolds. The two groups have a bad history in the area and both seem to be holding the grudge. However though the kobold groups is able to see and is watching the goblings they are over 100 feet away.
There are other groups and the closest is a trio of lizardmen hanging out by a door to the SW of the building with the matrix Node.
