Road to Phandalin

"Zurzg think maybe?" Zurzg scratches his head, then shrugs. "They tricky these ones. But, can always check east side too. Just not through fungus room if can." He mentions. The goblin then goes shuffling back to the door they past, gives it a listen just like the rogue with his big ears before looking to Otrov expectantly.

Perception: 17.

You don’t hear anything beside the small creek that flows into the ravin in the cavern close by.

I guess not seeing any reaction from Nobody's familiar I suppose

"I guess we better head to the east"

She starts to test the rope heading down to the ravine floor but stops herself and motions for Otrov to check it for traps

Otrov

She glances in Zurgz' direction.  "I don't mind the fungus room, I've already volunteered to go through. If you have lots of shinies, Zurgz, you're going to put something scary near it to scare people away right?  Plus," she says, nodding to the ropes, "maybe we can take one of these and use it to bypass the fungus."  She whispers all of it.  Hearing Margret's request, Otrov looks around for traps around the ropes and assesses how well the ropes are connected to the stakes in the wall.  

[She assumes help from Margret as she is right there]
Perception - 21
Investigation of anchors for the ropes - 22

Looks like sturdy work. You think it is safe. 

Otrov

She will cover the descent with the Prick. At Margret or anyone else’s reaction to danger, she’ll toss the piton down to get a visual ( but only if there’s danger).  Otherwise she’ll slide down the rope with the rest. 

Map:

Map of where you are now: the cavern with the ravine is around 100ft N to S and 50 ft E to W. The Ravine is 20 ft deep and is going all the way N to S and makeing out half the cavern E to W. WNW of you is the dwarven temple (empty), ENE the lake you found yesterday and SE is the furnace room.

If you climb down into the ravine, roll me an athletics check for everyone please.

Kai (4) is going to climb down, but the rope slips out of her hand and she falls down into the ravine (taking 6 damage)

 As long as none of the above happens, Otrov will go down with the others into the abyss...but before doing so, she tries to do a few silent push-ups....You got this, you got this

Athletics - 12

You climb down without a problem.

Margret climbs down the rope Athletics 9

You climb down, but on the last few ft the rock gives and you slide down. Your landing is slightly painfully and you take 4 damage.

Athletics for Dain: 8 Guidance: 3

You make it without problem.

Although still curious about the door, Zurzg descends after the others.

Athletics: 9.

Once at the bottom one way or another more painful one, Zurzg takes the chance to scrabble over to the excavated section to dig around for a bit. Long enough to either satisfy his curiosity, which would involve a minute of digging if feasible, or get called away by the others for wherever else the group intended to go.

Otrov

Seeing the goblin bound over to the dig site, Otrov follows, lured by the potential for cool stuff to be found in the dirt of such a cool cave.

Just as she was about to ask Kai if she was ok she slides down herself and Margret growls with frustration looking up the it turns to embarrassment watching the dwarf easily climb down

"Ouch"

She says getting up with a smarting rearend she steadies herself and decides to investigate the area where the thugs have been digging 

Investigation 3 figures

Zurzg, you also twist your foot and take 1 damage.

The three of you take a look around, but all you can say is that they were searching something. You don’t know what it was or if they found it.

Otrov

Disappointed at not finding any cool dragon bones or anything, Otrov next tries to search around on the walls and ceiling, trying to get Zurgz to accompany her, fishing a piece of bacon out of her pouch and twisting it off in two pieces.  She'll put one in her mouth and offer one to the goblin..."Let's take a look-see, eh?"  She'll meander north-west (quietly) and check out that area that looks like another opening or passageway - she'll listen and look, and check to see if there's a way up (but won't go up).

Perception (assume help from Zurgz) - 11 

As the others are searching around, Dain lends a hand, also checking the area where the digging was being done.

Investigation: 18 guidance: 1

Between the four of you, you determine that they were searching something, but it looks like they didn’t find anything. It also looks like they stoped searching because something came up, it doesn’t look like a sudden stop of work, more like they stoped to return and finish later.
