Felicia smiles as Dazzle spins his narrative. Catching him looking at the less shifty laborer, she quirks an eyebrow slightly.

You know more, don't you. No need to say anything, just scratch your head if you'd like to tell me more later. she croons directly into the man's head.

Dazzle lies with well-practiced art and mastery.

He responds resignedly. "Look, you have to see we mean no harm. This sinkhole is unexpected. We wern digging out nuthin. We just go there for the... well, you know and I can't say."

The handyman vigourously scratches his scalp, almost enough to draw blood.

Wonderful darling, stop the scratching now. I'll be at the tavern for the rest of the evening. Come join me at my table. Be sure to bring a bottle of something to drink. Felicia thinks into the handyman's head.

Oh yes, because all those that mean no harm do their work in hushes and shadows and can't talk about it. Certainly seems like what those paladins and champions of Torm and Lathander do all the time, with their shiny armor and brighter smiles. Felicia says sweetly. Darling, I'm absolutely parched. I do believe I'd like to retire to the tavern for the evening. Catch a tune and a mug full of something delicious. Care to join me?

The itchy handyman has information he wants to give us, more in private. I told him to meet me in the tavern later. Tell me to be on my way, you want to have some more conversations with this elder. Make sure the handyman makes it to the tavern tonight. she thinks to Dazzle, as she rests a hand on his forearm, blinking up at him softly.

Later, dear, Dazzle plays his part and keeps his gaze on their quarry. I have some business to discuss.

"All quiet down here, although I may take a quick look around. Care to join me, Sorgrimm?"

Sorgrimm turns to Balak. "What do you say? Should we head down and take a look or wait for the others?"

Grimm, I'm bored here. Let's look around.

He grabs his warhammer and shield and looks to follow Sorgrimm down the shaft.

"Hang tight Xella, Balak and I are coming down." The pair of Dwarves descend into the sinkhole.

GM Perogative

Dazzle and Felicia meet the teamster at the in, where he whispers to you that his boss is untrustworthy. He indicated that he had seen him enter a trapdoor into the ground at the back of the wagon yard. Once, Itchy looked in there, and saw a long ladder down to a tunnel below.

Taking his cue, you head back you the wagon yard and through a bit of clever misdirection, sneak into the trapdoor. You follow a tunnel and find Xella helping Balak and Sorgrimm down the rope.

Your in a large cavern, with the sinkhole above. The only exits are the tunnel Dazzle and Felicia came from, and the wooden door.

"Fancy meeting you folk down here. " Sorgrimm seems quite surprised to see their comrades suddenly make an appearance in the sinkhole. "I’m guessing we were right to be suspicious of this mess. Shall we get a move on? Balak or Xella would either of you care to take the lead?

Sorgrimm will try to stay in the middle of the marching order to both be able to be equally capable of reaching the front or rear in case of attack or should a teammate need healing.

Alyx may have joined you down there too.

I'm not much of a "door" person, Dazzle says with a helpless gesture in the direction of the wooden door. But if anyone else is willing to give it a shot, say, to try to unlock it, I'll be right behind you with plenty of encouragement!
Jul 16, 2018 5:49 pm
Balak steps up to the front, shield and hammer at the ready.
Jul 16, 2018 6:03 pm
I'll gladly stay behind Balak a bit. Just make sure you leave me a bit of ability to see anyone beyond, so I can blast them if the need arises, yeah? Felicia says, happy that one of the sturdier folks is taking point.
Jul 16, 2018 7:10 pm
"Lets get a move on then eh!" Sorgrimm begins to get noticeably antsy waiting for everyone to get themselves ready to proceed.
Jul 16, 2018 8:02 pm
Balak moves forward, looking around for dangers.

"Make sure to wipe the dirt from yer goggles." Sorgrimm chides the mountain dwarf as he falls in line behind Felicia.

Balak pushes open the stone door, which opens into a narrow tunnel with a moderate downward slope. Sixty feet beyond the door, the tunnel levels out.

Following the tunnel down, at the bottom there are two stone reliefs of stern dwarves in chain mail and carrying battleaxes, facing each other across the tunnel. The carvings stand out from the passage walls, and they have gaps around them so they could be doors. The passage continues past them into the gloom.

Balak hangs his hammer from his belt and runs his hands along the the dwarven statues.
