"Ah, well yes and no. They were monsters we were adventurers, they had a treasure we wanted it, so we killed them. You can't think of them as people they are just monsters. Sure if they had gotten out of our way we would probably have left them alone, but they tried to fight, so they died. I've told Stump I was sorry they got in my way, but he won't hear it."
Stump staying back out of Knesh's field of vision quivers with rage.

"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 down by destroying illusionary treasure. Two, we brave the water and hope for the best. What do you think?"

Outside of Knesh's hearing distance.
"Let's try your first suggestion first. We should be keeping swimming as our very last options.
And to be clear, I will not kill anyone for Knesh!
Stump, why didn't he imprisoned you here before? Have you any means to escape?"

After gathering a few sacks of junk mixed with treasure...
"Stump is there any magic that you can help us with? Maybe you can make the "treasure" more real? Or better yet, make me more convincing? If this ploy doesn't work, we might have to swim for it and I don't relish the prospect of dodging sharks."

Stump looks puzzled,
"You don't get more real than true,
I'm not sure what illusion can do.
And I have no skill to guide your tongue,
my magics are few though they're strong."

"We could just give him the real thing... but I think he still wants your head, Stump. And I don't know how we should fake it."

please see my status.
It will most likely best to continue after the weekend, when I'm (and hopefully perrinmiller) back.

Megan has a flash of insight as she goes back to the pond and retries (cuts off) the dead goblin's head. She then beats it up so it's hard to tell whose head it is from a distance.
"Alright, it seems we have done the best we could so let's give guile a try. Guardian, follow my lead."
After smearing some goblin blood on her face and messing up her hair, Megan walks back to where Knesh can see her, keeping as much distance as possible not give the man a chance for scrutiny.
"It's done Knesh! The little bastard gave us a real struggle." Announces Megan. When the half elf is sure that she has the man's attention, she tosses several bags along with the fake head down on the ground. "But now that we have the treasure, I am afraid the terms have changed."
Megan holds up a ruby, making sure it glitters as much as it can from what little light is afforded by topside. "Beautiful, isn't it? Knesh's trove has several of these. What's the market values for these? 10 gp? 20?" W/out another word, she smashes it with the hammer.
"Oh now there is a crack in it." *smash* "Oh, now it's shattered. What a shame. Don't believe me? Here, take a look yourself." Megan tosses a real ruby up.
"Here's the new terms. You let us out and we'll split this treasure 50/50 out of respect. There's plenty here for you to retire comfortably even with just half. Refuse our term and we'll smash up what we can and dump what we can't destroy into the river. If any of us survive the swim to the surface, we'll hunt you like we did with this pathetic creature here. Oh, and did I mention this offer is time sensitive?"
Megan tosses the hammer to the Guardian along with a fist of gems, "Start smashing! One at a time and make sure he can see it!"
