OOC:

I can do short replies without issue :)
- If you want to check for loot from a distance, I'll need a DR 12 pressence check.
- If you get your hands dirty instead of the careful approach, it's an automatic success.
On a success, roll 2d6.

The Story

Eh, Keftar had already been through some...well...what else was there to do now anyway? He digs his smoky log into the feces and looks for something good. If the log isn't doing a thorough enough job, he will set it to the side as he digs through. After all, he will not be accused of being a choosy beggar. Plus, he was getting bored.

Success? - (2d6)

Jotna looks over and sees Keftar rooting in the feces. She grimaces and says, "By the goddess, man… do you need to borrow some money?"

The Story

Keftar

You sift through the brown sludge and among the stinking squishy material you come across something hard and pointy. After you wash it in the water you are left with a dagger. Its handle and blade are completely black. No wonder it wasn't possible to spot it from a distance.

When you hold it up to the light, you can just about make out a small symbol on it. Possibly from the previous owner or the smith who made it.

OOC:

You have found a Black Kergüs Dagger. It does 2d4 damage.

The Story

OOC:

Looks like Esidrix has been busy for a few days. Anyone can take over the scouting using the existing successful roll.

After about a minute, the barkeep finally manages to squeeze through the narrow bit. "Finally..." The lady says loud enough for everyone to hear. "Stand back, I'm coming through as well."

Behind you it looks like Keftar is rummaging through the sludge. It's hard to see what exactly he's managing to find with the torchlight not fully reaching that area.

What is everyone doing?

The Story

Borda watches them squeeze through the gap in the cavern and takes a step back towards the others. He waves to Jotna and signals them to come ahead. As they get closer, he whispers, "The barkeep hired some girl to lead him out of here. It's just the two of them for now, I think we can follow them out of here."

Jotna nods and says, "Hired to lead him out? Maybe she worked in the kitchen, or maybe she's his wife. Or sister. Or cousin. Or... well, you get the idea." She shrugs, puts her club up on her shoulder, and adds, "Well, I guess let's go then."

"Or his whore," Wemut suggested, complementing Jotna's assumptions, and immediately blushed. She lifted the prince's skull with one hand while still clinging to Merkari's back with the other.

"That's what SHE was thinking. I don't have impure thoughts of any kind."

She turned her face with an offended expression and gave Merkari a few taps on the thighs with her ankles, as if spurring a horse.

"Giddy up, crazy warrior, let's get out of this shithole."

The Story

Keftar tests his new dagger, slicing it through the air a few times. If it smells still, it's hard to tell in this sewer. Satisfied this is much better than what he had, he puts it in his belt and follows after the others. If he cannot squeeze through the space with the log, he will leave it behind.

The Story

You all leave the river of filth behind. As you approach the place where the others squeezed through, the sound of footsteps tells you that the duo is proceeding down the tunnel. You don't have as much issues getting through the narrow passage as the barkeep seemed to have, and manage to follow behind.

Keftar throws his log through the hole before following it and reconnecting on the other side.

OOC:

Everyone give me a roll of either presence or agility DR 12 to see if you can either stay far enough away to not be noticed or move silently.
If you're not bothering to stay unnoticed, just say so and the NPCs will notice you.

Keftar, happy to be moving again, throws his log through the hole before thinking how loud that could be. He shrugs his shoulders and squeezes through the narrow passage to the other side. Maybe some of the sludge is sloughed off on the way through?

Borda walks quietly out of habit as much as anything. He's not 'trying' to stay un-noticed as he's not concerned about the folks their following.

As Borda continues his sneaky steps, behind him the others stumble and talk amongst themselves. It doesn't take long for the 2 ahead to notice and the shrill female voice calls out. "Who's there? Are you Karg's crew?"

"Ah, so you're customers then?" She replies in a bit of a friendlier tone to Jotna. She steps into the light of your torch, with her own flickering next to her. Now that you see her better, you realize that she was in your dream too. Though, you're hazy on the fact of that being a good or a bad thing.

"These caverns are treacherous, but I can guide you through." She continues, getting right to business. "It's ..." she pauses to assess each of your looks "... 5 silver each."

The Story

Keftar retrieves his log and squints at the woman, was she really a part of his dream? He decides to scowl instead of thinking further.

"I don't remember seeing you up there. How do we even know you really know the way out? We would have found this way without you."

There's a seed of doubt in the back of his mind, but he stays recalcitrant.

Jotna looks down at the scrawny woman and snorts. She replies, "What was that, toothpick? I think it's you who should pay me to keep you safe, don't you think?"

She smiles--an ugly sight, given her rotting teeth--and scratches absentmindedly at the spot where the arrow that killed her had pierced her skull.

Borda chuckles at Jotna's offer. "No shit, we can just stand here and wait until ya leave and follow ya, or we can do what we was thinkin' and find our way out. Not that we'd risk loose ends danglin' ahind us. Now, we be here 'cause of some dream where we know each other. Borda addresses the woman directly. "Ya was in the dream, but I can't 'call if ya were helpin' or in the way."
