Chapter 3 - The Missing Delegation

In Grimjaws apartments, you find an attractive Drow woman, tied you a chair and gagged. On the table, a series of knives, scissors, and pliers are laid out, but up till now she is mostly unharmed, beyond a swollen eye. A fierce defiance glows from her eyes.

When you release her, she ...

Sassandra cautiously looks at them. "So your new so I assume you were the people fighting Mr. Grumpy, I mean Grimjaw or are you working for with the water genasi?"

Berci hunched well below a door to the room hand on the lintel to not bump his head, Hello Drow, me and my companion, the half-elf who found you, came in on the fighting, but we do not yet know whom against. I do not know of this Grimjaw. These others happened to be some travelers I was looking to find, cult-breakers. And we have all recently agreed to sail wth the Genasi to a Monastery I believe. How do we come to find you a prisoner?

"Drow, where's a Drow, Oh you mean me, nope I am a high elf with a really good tan. I mean why is only Drow get called out by their race. Like I don't know what I am. It like saying hey human or dwarf or halfling, instead of just saying hello who are you. As for why I am a prisoner, I am a bard who was asked to entertain the guys rebuilding the fort here. They asked for a tale of forbidden romance. So I told them a tragedy between an elven maid and a lycanthrope. How was I to know that Grimjaw was one and has no sense of humor? As for the Genasi I would use caution he was meeting secretly with Grimjaw about what I don't know.", Sassandra says as she looks about the room.

At least all my gear is here."as she walks over to a pile of gear in the corner.

After rescuing the tanned elf and gathering the keeps untethered loot, Sorgrimm decides to take the road back to Red Larch. He promises to leave word if he discovers anything, but he doesn't want to share his suspicions until he can confirm them. He suggests you continue on the search for the Mirabar Delegation without him. The last thing the region needs is war.

To Sassy, he welcomes her to the group, introducing her to the others. He suggests that following them will give any bard a full repertoire of adventure stories, and you might do some good to boot.

To the Monastery?

Yillia can no longer resist the allure of the secret door and starts striding towards it, gesturing others to follow her if they wish

"Oh, secret door, I'm in.", Sassy says as she follows along, now wearing her red leather armor and rapier.

Berci embarrassed, The drow is fair in their statement. My apologizes what may we call you? I am Berci. seeing Yilla beckoning toward the great hall Berci bellows, I will stay with the Genasi, but scare whatever you like toward me I’ll be ready. He sits on a barrel near the boat with halberd and whetstone.

"It is ok I am used to it. As to what to call me, my name is Sassandra Vrinn but my friends, well the apprentices in Longsaddle called me Sassy, though I think that was due to my mouth maybe not friendship.", she says to Berci

Felicia smiles at Sassy. Regardless of mouth or friendship, this company can use more sass in the ranks. she says with a smirk, following through the secret door.

Those going through the secret door...
The secret stairway descends 20 feet to a landing, which abuts an underground stream that flows east toward the river.

At the bottom of the stairs, you find a torchlit chamber where two boats bob in an underground stream. The stream flows toward daylight to the east and leads upstream into darkness toward the west.

Wisdom (Perception) checks, please.

Looking around to see what I can see

edit: i think I might have passed

Hey guys do you see what I see? If not there are decomposing bodies under the water staring at us. Might not be the time to go skinny dipping., Sassy says as she slowly moves her left hand towards her rapier

"Staring? You mean they're alive?!" Yillia's strong exterior breaks for a short moment as you see a crack of fear in her face. She didn't mind death, but what was dead should stay that way

Well it looks like they are watching, so possibly, you want to jump in a check?, Sassy asks.

"Ah.. well.. you know, I'm better at combat from a distance... Maybe someone else...".
Yillia nocks an arrow into her bow, ready to fire at the bodies if they suddenly move
