"Then let's scavenge around for some rocks and pebbles. Find a sack and dump all that stuff in, mixed with some real treasure. A lie is more potent with a grain of truth!" "I suppose we'll borrow that hammer of yours for coin/gem destruction?"

"I see...I guess we have no choice then. We will be back with what you want later." Once out of Knesh's hearing range, Megan gathers her companions. "I am sorry for what happened Stump. It seems that Knesh is the real trickster all along. Guardian, I have two ideas. One, we can try to lure him...

"Did you and the Eels really murdered Stump's family? Please tell us the truth, we deserve at least this much." As she talks Megan uses a subtle hand gesture to tell Stump to stay back.

"Here's what we can do to improvise," says Megan, "We can hammer the pistons into the wall then tie the rope from piton to piton to simulate a rope with grappling hook. It'll make a lot of noise, but it's better than sitting around. Let's get started."

Indeed! Good luck! Wait for him in the meantime? Keep going?

"Do we have a grappling hook? If so I can climb up and try to open the grate." "If the grate is locked though, then I believe Knesh has turned on us. If not, why close the door and lock it behind his allies? And assuming Knesh is who Stump says he is, I am afraid there will be little we can say...

"So how we gonna do this?" Whispers Megan to her comrades, "Bluff our way up? Try to reason with Knesh? Either way, we should leave Stump here until we're up at ground level. We can always toss a pebble down to signal Stump to come up later."

"I am not swimming with the sharks unless unless we have exhausted all other options. I think our best bet is to trick/force Knesh into opening the grate. As I said before, I propose that we show him the gold to entice him. We can even tell him that we'll dump the treasure into the sea if he...

"Neat!" Squeals the half elf, "I am beginning to think you're the good guy!" It is masterwork or a +1? Either way it's awesome!

Megan offers Stump pieces of her dog slicer, "So uh...this got broken when we were clearing out the drug-stricken thugs living above...anyway you can help, please?"

And this is the part where I wish neither of my dog-slicers are broken...

"I say we go back to the grate and wave a fake head of Stump's around. It would also help if we carry a big sack of gold to entice Knesh. He'll have to open then, how else is he going to get the treasure? Mr. Stump, can you help with that fake head? We should look bloodied and disheveled to...

"I imagine Knesh doesn't want to get his hands dirty. Why not get a bunch of gullible adventurers to do it for him? He also probably doesn't want to risk his hide. Stump here might have some unexpected tricks up his sleeve. Regardless, our first priority is get topside. Once there, we can for a...

"Swim out to meet the sharks? There must be a better way! If Knesh truly locks us in, then perhaps we can trick him into opening the door? With the help of a master illusionist maybe...?"

Megan turns to Ariel, "I am all out of ideas aside from the two meeting. You?"

"This quest is full of twists and turns," remarks Megan as she lowers her crossbow, "Let's bring both of them together and see who's telling the truth."

Please see rest of Megan's action above Hope you're alright Perrin! Take care out there.

Megan tries to take advantage of her wounded foe and went for a killing blow. Not sure if she got the creature but is no longer bothered by it, she goes to aid the Guardian. Seeing an opening, the half elf stabs her weapon into the goblin squid, never wincing as she's sprayed by the creature's...

Did Megan's dagger do anything?

Re: holding onto crossbow - good point, I will do that instead.
