"Boy how did you end up down here? What is going on?"
Aug 15, 2018 4:07 pm
Dazzle sighs and follows Balak's lead.

"You want to grab his arm, Dazzle? I can't carry him myself."
Aug 17, 2018 11:47 am
Sure! But we're going to need to tie him up or something. He won't be laughing for much longer.

The boys name is Braelen.

The Believers put him here as punishment for being disobedient. He failed to deliver a message from his father, Rotharr Hatherhand. to Ilmeth Waelvur. It was a slip of paper the boy didn't read.
• Rotharr is one of the Believers. Other Believers Braelen knows are Baragustas Harbuckler, Marlandro Gaelkur, and Ilmeth Waelvur. The boy also knows Grund (the half-orc laughing) isn’t really a Believer, but the Believers take care of him, so he does what they tell him to do.
• The Believers are a secret group made up of some of the most important people in town. They guard the moving stones, and make sure no one disturbs the Delvers, who are entombed here. The Believers watch the moving stones carefully, because it’s a bad sign when they move, and they have to figure out what it means to avert danger. (This information isn’t true, but that’s what the Believers and Braelen believe.)
• Braelen isn’t angry with his father or the Believers.He believes this sort of treatment is normal, and he’s worried his father might find out the punishment ended before it was supposed to.
• The chamber of moving stones and the buried Delvers are to the east, beyond three more stone doors.

Let’s go to the east! I’m very excited to meet the delvers, to see their craft. Plus, we must away from this place.

Balak stays on the tail end to make sure that Grund doesn’t hurt the others without contending with Balak first. Once everyone heads to the east, away from Grund, Balak will walk that way while keeping an eye on the half-orc.

Sorgrimm tosses Dazzle a 50’ rope from his pack.

"Tie that laughing fool up. Maybe see if you can get anymore information out of him. In the meantime so think we should backtrack a little and take a look at those carvings."
Aug 20, 2018 11:17 pm
Reminder: the carvings are on the other side of those cages.
Aug 21, 2018 12:00 pm
Dazzle quickly and expertly binds the half-orc with the rope.

Seeing the effort it would take to backtrack Sorgrimm reluctantly says "I suppose it would make more sense to keep pressing forward."

You find the half orc thoroughly. Who's listening at the far door or are you just barging through?

Dazzle carefully inspects the door for traps.
Aug 24, 2018 1:20 am
Dazzle doesn't see anything suspicious about the door.
Aug 24, 2018 1:27 am
Dazzle takes a few giant steps away from the door and gestures with a deep sweeping motion for one of the dwarves to open it.
Aug 24, 2018 10:03 am
Sorgrimm steps up and carefully goes to open the door.
Aug 24, 2018 2:30 pm
As you examine the door, both Dazzle and Sorgrimm hear a few 'clinks' from beyond. You're not sure of the source, but it seems like there may be one or more people on the other side of the door.
Aug 24, 2018 10:37 pm
Sorgrimm looks to Dazzle and then back to the others. He then speaks in a hushed voice "Are we ready? We’ve got company on the other side of the door."
Aug 25, 2018 2:59 am
Dazzle gives an enthusiastic thumbs up while he continues to back away from the door.
Aug 27, 2018 1:36 pm
GM prompt: someone needs to volunteer to open the door, and everyone should roll initiative. Then I'll describe what you see beyond the door.
Aug 27, 2018 2:56 pm
Balak, glancing around for issues, opens the door with his hammer hand, holding his shield ready.

Rolls

Initiative - (1d20+2)

(2) + 2 = 4
