Xelia makes polite conversation with the goblins as they continue onwards. "How long have you all been down here?"

Well Butler would follow up with Alastriona but he wouldn't want to leave the two gobbos unattended....are we safe to assume they can be secured and move on from them? Butler would tie them up or something if no ones free to watch themOOC:
That seems prudent Mcneils. Can't assume goblins won't keep acting in their interests, but tying them up would help slow them down, especially if they decided to try to act against you. Normal rope has an AC of 10 and HP of 2 (but they have no weapons), and and can be burst with a DC 17 Strength check according to the DMG. You do have some insight into Eins at least, and they seemed like a 'take the path of least resistance' type of creature.

At this point have Xelia, Prince, Vatra, and Eins caught up with Butler, Drei, and Vier?If we're all together, Prince would go check on Alastriona and Stitches.

I wrote this on discord as a summary of where people were at:Quote:
Alrght everyone, update on where we're at:You have tracked Floon to this Xanathar's Guild secret underground lair. The Xanthar's Guild mistook Floon for Raenar Neverember, who they believed holds the secret to finding 500,000 gold Dragons embezzled and hidden by Raener's father and former Open Lord of the city.
Currently, Alastriona is heading back to the goblin's sleeping quarters (Q4) where she overheard voices on the other side of an unexplored door talking about barricading something.
Prince followed Xelia down the stairs (between q3 and q4) to Butler, who has found himself surrounded by 3 goblins, currently unarmed and (currently) pacified - Eins through kindness and Drei and Vier through intimidation.
Vatra and Stitches are bringing up the rear, still up in the Q3 area.
Sound about right? What's everyone's next move?

Butler leans down next to the goblins "Ok, here’s the deal. I’m going to tie you two up so you can’t interfere with what we’re doing. If you cooperate and stay quiet then we’re all good and you’ll get through this just fine. If not, well let’s just say things will take an unpleasant turn". He waits for them to give some sign they agree.

The goblins are to busy conferring about Butler's plan to answer Xelia. After the brief but intense exchange, they agree unanimously to the plan. Butler ties them up efficiently and joins Prince, Stitches, Vatra, and Xelia.
Alastriona swings the squeeky-hinged door inward. Candlelight floods in from the chamber beyond, a barracks by the looks of the double-stacked bunks along the walls.
In the northeast corner of the room, two familiar faces turn around to regard the squeeking hinges. One is heavily-tattooed Krentz from the Battle of the Bands yesterday. The other is the Duergar Zemk who demanded Xoblob close his shop last night. Both are trying to barricade a door in that corner of the room. Both recognize Alastriona and draw weapons as her presence darkens their door.
There is a third door in this room in the southeast corner, which is closed shut.

Prince dances into the room. "Well if it isn't the Losers' Club! Why weren't we invited to this pity party? Oh, I know, because we're winners, that's why!"
Prince spins on his heel, and sidesteps towards the bunks to give his friends a clear line of sight.

Krentz and Zemk both abandon the task of barricading the north door.
Krentz sneers at Xelia and Prince, then utters: "You think you're playing a game? Oh, this is going to be fun." He then runs through the south door, unlocks it with a key. He manages to round the corner and yells out "Grum'shar! We're under attack!"
"It's okay, Zemk will play with you." says the Duergar, smiling. He suddenly winks out of existence, turning invisible.
Up next are Alastriona, Butler, and Vatra. Stitches, take your turn any time.

Zemk is invisible and hidden, so you'll need to use the search action in order to find him. Area affect attacks and such in the room may also hit him. Krentz is just 2 squares past the south door, and is in the corridor.Up next are Alastriona, Butler, and Vatra. Stitches, take your turn any time.

Stitches sees a boot print suddenly appear in a mucky puddle in the Northwest corner of the room.
Alastriona enters the hallway and slashes Krentz across the back with such force he nearly topples over. Looking south down the passage, he sees it opens up into a large room.
Threadbare curtains hang on the east wall of this long hall, in the middle of which a muscular half-orc in dingy robes stands with his foot on the chest of a male human with wavy red-blond hair. Fire burns around the orc’s clenched fist, and his victim cries and squirms helplessly beneath him.
Seated on a raised platform to the south is a nightmarish figure wearing black robes. It has large white eyes and rubbery purple skin, with four tentacles encircling its inhuman mouth. It cradles and gently caresses what looks like a disembodied brain with feet.

Butler really drives home the point to Grum'shar that he's under attack with the point of his crossbow bolt, which takes Grum'shar in the shoulder. His eyes rage with flame, while the Mind Flayer watches the scene unfold.
Vatra is up.

That hallway is pretty packed now, given that Krentz didn't get very far down. It's bottlenecked until Krentz either moves or dies, and Alastriona and Butler can move out or further down.Vatra is up.
