"Then we shall find this key and release you," says the gnome. "As Allyra points out, we may best be served by joining our strengths. It seems as if the only way out involves delving deeper into the mysteries of this cave system; a grand adventure it might be, but one that seems increasingly perilous."

Tailspinner – Oh ... you killed me. Princess bride, that was something to remember.

Ooc – please wait, I will upload a post soon, describing the treasure that is originally from the module. The other stuff belongs to the new ones. I guess you give it to them?

 

[Thanee]

OOC: Nah, we kill them, while they are safely stored in the cages and wait for their new characters to join us (with new equipment).

Okay, we give it to them...

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

You find the skull with the key and open the cages. The new members gather their equipment and you settle to think how to get out of those nasty caves.
You wonder how they entered without crossing the caves so the tale is that they found their way in through one the underground river entrances. Sadly, the stream is too strong to return, and the tide is high since snow began to melt and the underground river is flooded.

[OOC - I'm pointing on the map the location where they entered., in addition, on the cave you are in I placed the stairs that goes down. S@S – Toman is the circle with the letter ‘o’. Tailspinner – Drengar is the ‘d’ circle from now on.]

* I updated the horde you took from the Gorgimera in the RG (post #4). I decided to reveal the magic items since Allyra's spellcraft is high enough to "smell" them and identify what they are.
XP is updated in post #3 in the RG.

Allyra

After hearing about the other party's entrance to these caverns, Allyra says: “Looks like we will have to stick to our original plan, to get beyond the underground lake and to see where it leads us. The only question is, how will we manage that? Can we get the boat back there somehow?”

 

[Rhun]

Turo shakes his head. "I doubt it. The current is too strong." Then the gnome smiles. "Of course, we can always really on my ready wit and faith in the holy Garl Glittergold to get us out of these sorts of situations. We'll be force to camp in this area, but on the morrow I can prepare a water walk spell."


OOC: Assuming Keldar isn't coming back, should Thanee and I split of the loot found so far betwee our PCs? That way we start with a clean slate with S@s and Tailspinnger?

As he is released from his cage, it is only then that the gnome and human realize just how large Toman is -- able to finally stretch out to his normal height, his 6'6" towering form casts a long shadow in the torch light.

Relieved to once again have his equipment on him, he hefts his falchion with one arm, while looking over his shoulder,"Did I hear correctly, you brought a boat with you?"

 

[Thanee]

Allyra

Allyra laughs. “Well... not exactly. We found a boat here, and we used it to traverse the waters, but the current brought us into this sidearm, and all we managed to do was to anchor it to a stone bridge and climb up there, which is how we got here. We can show you... maybe you have a better idea? I'm not a sailor.”

“A water walk spell would be most useful, indeed.”

 

[s@squ@tch]

"Depends on how far across this underground lake is."

"I've got a fairly long length of rope with a grappling hook, or if it is a short enough span, I can blink across it."

"Else, me and Dwengar here can try our hands at rowing against the current."

OOC: Can teleport up to 60', or have 150' of rope w/ a hook. Or, with Dwengar's 20 str, and my 22 str, we could have a go at rowing upstream.

 

[Rhun]

Turo eyes the two recently released prisoners and frowns at Toman's words. "Are you daft, man? You've been held prisoner for who knows how long, probably haven eaten a decent meal in days, and you want to just row the boat against the current and back into the caverns?" The gnome shakes his head. "Let us rest this night, or whatever time it is, considering there is no way to tell down here. Then, when we are restored, we can determine the best way to proceed."
