!!Lost Mine of Phandelver Campaign Thread!!

Oh, thank you.  You can hear the giants talking in area 9, but no sign of Nyx or anything else.

Lyngheid stared at the doorway gritted her teeth then resolved to wait a short while before braving open ground in her noisy armour.

Nyx heads out of the double doors, looking around to make sure she can not see any giants or Yakfolk as she heads quickly and quietly towards 4C to use the building as cover.

Perception:  8

Nyx Perception: 21

You don't see any fire giants in the common area, they appear to all be in area 9.  You do, however, see Lyngheid peaking around the corner of Building #8.

Assuming she's within 120 feet, Nyx uses Message.

"Lyngheid, over hear. Building on the left of the entrance to the mines. Careful, lots of giants inside."

She waves at Lyngheid with excitement.

Read Nyx's previous post.

You get the Message in your head, and then sure enough, you can see her waving behind building 4C.

Lyngheid lights up and replies in her head, " Oh, Dear Girl! You gave me...us...quite the scare....if theres giants best you come out and away...I'm not the quietest..."

Read Lyngheid's spoiler above.

Nyx hurries across the open ground between buildings to get next to Lyngheid.  Now you are both behind building #8, with the fire giants in area #9, still talking loudly. 

What do you do now?

"Lyngheid, you should have left. I can hide myself no problems."

She pauses for a second, "Are they coming back, they are..aren't they?"

Lyngheid grinned, " Aye, but your sense of direction is shite."

" No one gets left behind....especially not someone whose too brave and brazen for her own good."

" Aye, they'll be back.  I'd wager their taking the prisoners to safety first though."

" So how many giants are in there?  I could do with a nap."

"I was more interested in getting past them than counting them but it was several... maybe three or four? In the big chamber back there that we broke the water wheel thing in... and then there is all the ones outside as well. I think our best bet is to hide among the deserted evil cow people houses and stay out of site for now. Maybe if they take a while I could do some scouting of my own so we aren't as blin..." she stops "curse my ability to not see in the dark."

" I'd lend ye my eyes if I could.  You think I should take my harness off for now....will make me a bit quieter. "

" I wouldn't mind getting a few whacks in but your right best we hole up and wait."

" You got any cards to pass the time...or we could think of something else to do.....which yak hut takes your fancy?"

Nyx nodes and takes a look around at the huts.

OCC: Is there any hut that is vacant that looks like it has a lot of hiding places? Hopefully from where they can keep an eye on the giants?  Perception 9

From what you have been able to tell all of the huts are vacant since you killed the chief.  The main central hut that you are behind now still has the bodies of the Yakfolk, lots of pillows, ornate blankets and chests.  Plenty of places to hide.

Lyngheid points to the hut they are behind and looks for a window or something on this side so she won't have to wander out in full view of the giants to enter.

Investigation: 10

You can't find any windows, or any way into building #8 except for the original door.  But, with your passive perception, you can see that there are no giants currently visible, they all appear to be inside area 9, still talking loudly.

If you want to try to sneak into building #8, both make a Stealth.  And then if you are going to try and hide in #8, both make Investigation checks (or one with advantage), and then make Stealth checks to hide.  Nyx can help Lyngheid so she has a straight roll on this one if she wants.

Nyx points in the direction of building #8, as she fiddles with Lyngheid's armour to try and make it less noise, shoving some cloth between part of the metal (giving her Help for Stealth).

OCC: Stealth 24

Investigation 14  and a second roll for if Lyngheid helps Nyx (as her Investigation is better)  13
