B6: The Veiled Society - IC

ooc: If you cast ghost sound (1 rnd/lev) before silent image (concentration), the same person can use both.

The tunnels are about 2 1/2' wide.

The party follows the tunnel south. Aside from a couple of small dead-ends, which you pass, you come to a bend to the right and a fork in the tunnel just after it, after travelling at least 60' beyond the other fork that led to the presumed kobolds' cave.

The two tunnels you now can follow ahead roughly lead North and South from here.

ooc: Here is a partial map of the complex, showing the places you have seen so far.
[sblock=map]

1 = where the slaves were digging
2 = the 2nd cellar
3 = the empty kobold cave
4 = the slimy, empty room
5 = the original cellar

junction near bottom = where you are now[/sblock]

"Let's try south," says Celythia from toward the rear of the group, he longbow still held at the ready.

When the party stops at the junction, Caridoc tries to calculate there location in relation to the original cellar. After a few minutes he thinks he knows where they are. "If we are where I think we are. The right hand passage should lead back to Goodwife Thanato's cellar."

"Ahead - south I guess - it leads to the house where we were held" one of the freed slaves says. "But I don't want to fight kobolds. Nasty buggers! Let's jus' get out of here."

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek looks to the slaves, then back to his companions.

"I think I agree," he says. "We know the source of the sounds in the goodwife's basement, but more than that, it's not just our necks on the line any longer. I think we need to shepherd these men back to the surface before we do anything else.

"And remember, when we get back to the goodwife's basement, we'll need to re-bind our weapons."

"But's we ain't found one flippin' coin yet." Rezak says disgusted. "I nay be trompn' threw 'ere for the scenery."

Not really greedy just wants to see himself get something for his time, as his companions know. [/sblock]

 

[Theroc]

"At times, good Rezak, a grateful client is as good as gold..." He said to the man, before continuing. "Perhaps the woman who sought our aid may be able to shield us, or at least help us flee from the mess we may have inadvertently gotten ourselves into..."

 

[HolyMan]

"Hrmph! A little old lady who jumps at any noise," the rogue replies.

 

[Rhun]

"If we withdraw, we must certainly inform the Watch" says Celythia. "We can't leave these kobolds free to move about and sow chaos beneath the city's streets."

"It not an either or choice. We can take the ex-slaves back and then come back to search the house. In fact, this could be advantageous as the Kobolds may think we are not coming and give up their ambush." says Caridoc "If we do go back, I suggest that we speak to the innkeeper. He should know the ins and outs of the politics here and should be able to advise us what to do." Caridoc appears to be about to say more but stops himself.
