Rescue at Rivenroar (Game Thread)

[Aurenn]

"We have seen no others of your kind. Though we have only just chased down the last of the first pack of goblins we encountered when we entered this place."

[Melblen_Cairn]

"Well there be at least two more." the dwarf holds up stubby fingers.

"A few hours ago, some o' them hobgoblins came fer me. They blindfolded me eyes an be taken me deeper into this place fer question askin. On me way there, passed another group takin Mirtala, a baker in town, back the way we be coming from. I be knowing her by her voice, she be cryin' and bablin' deliriously abot rats as they be dragin' her kickin' down the hall." the recounts of the first with clenching fists.

"They be draggin me up to another level. Biggest hobgoblin me ever seen was there. Came outta ah room where me be hearin' that young Acolyte from the Temple o' Selune."

[Melblen_Cairn]

"What be the matter with ye, cat got all yer tongues?" the dwarf asks, "Are ye goin' ta get on with findin' the rest o' me fellow townsfolk?"

[Nanshork]

Dalanath looks to Dunor for direction.

[VennDygrem]

"We were already fairly ready to rough up these goblin scum; Now we've just got more reasons to."

[Melblen_Cairn]

As you stand the dwarf up and unlock the shackles around his wrists, Atanos asks, "Are we to take Adronsus with us as we go deeper into this complex?"

[Aurenn]

"That would be up to Adronsus.". Gamesh eyes the dwarf "Can you defend yourself?"

[Melblen_Cairn]

"Been in more o' me fair share of pub scraps in me own time." The dwarf answers, "Never be in any fightin' where me life be dependin on it. Ye think it be safer fer me make a run fer it? Them hills will be thronging with goblins when the discover o' me escape."

"Could be givin' ye directions fer where me be hearin' the others, or could be showing ye where."

[Shadowhunter]

"You should follow then, but keep back. Safest place for you right now is probably somewhere we can see you. We need to get moving".
The halfling starts moving towards where they came from. "We need to backtrack, this is a dead end."

[Melblen_Cairn]

Adronsus falls into step behind the group as everyone heads back toward the first chamber. As soon as the door opens to enter, those braziers flare up and begin their trek across the floor and as the door closes behind they both cease.

"Be takin' me straight across through that door" the dwarf says pointing a stubby finger at the door across from you. "Dinnea be knowin' there be another door in this chamber."

"Which way should we take?" Atanos asks the group with a shrug of his shoulders.

Put everyone back in the first chamber.

"Let us check through the door on the right.  If the other is where you came from then we will be going that way eventually."

(click to show/hide)

By "on the right" I mean the door to the north.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Upon opening the door to the north the brazier again resume their journey across the floor casting flame back and forth. The light from these and Søffå's torch reveal a long dark stairwell going deeper into the ground.

[Shadowhunter]

"Well, might as well get moving. Keep that light close please". The halfling starts moving down the stairwell.

[Aurenn]

The Dragonborne follows down the stairs.

[Melblen_Cairn]

The rest of the group files down the stairwell behind the Halfling and Dragonborn. The door behind whispers closed leaving you to just the torchlight carried by Søffå. Ahead at the bottom of the stairs, appears another closed door.

Atanos listens carefully near the door. "I hear nothing opposite." he says straining for the smallest sound.

[Aurenn]

Gamesh reaches for the door, pushing it open.

[Melblen_Cairn]

The door whispers open but then grinds across the floor as it gets caught on a piece of crumbling stone. A damp, musty smell immediately assails your noses. Light from Søffå's torch reaches into the room illuminating a portion of a very dimly lit chamber. Beyond the fire's light, multicolored phosphorescent fungi cover and illuminate mounds of architectural debris throughout the visible portions of the room.

Areas of the map that have colored spots are dim light.
Areas shaded are total darkness.
Triangles indicate difficult terrain of the debris.

[Shadowhunter]

The halfling moves slowly into the room and leans down to take a look at the mushrooms, trying to figure out if they're dangerous to poke.

(click to show/hide)

Move to K7, nature check at 19 to examine the 'shrooms. I doubt it's important, but it's something to do

Theo is able to discern that most of the fungi are common to the world above but there are some that are found more in the upper portions of the underdark and recalling a bit of dungeoneering knowledge he is able to identify some of the deep blue fungus as Cloudspore and disturbing it can release clouds of dense spores largely harmless.

(click to show/hide)

Disturbing this mushroom will release a cloud of spores that will provide concealment in that square for 5 minutes.

Entering a square with this will require a Acrobatics or Dungeoneering check to avoid disturbing it.

(click to show/hide)

Since your Nature check was little more than a Intelligence check I floated the roll over to a Dungeoneering check which you also do not have ranks in but is the more appropriate knowledge skill here.

I also used your check to avoid disturbing the mushrooms but going forward you'll need checks to enter those squares with blue mushrooms.
