Misprize Thou Not These Shadows That Belong: Lost Mines of Phandelver

Mau, you keep your eyes trained on the spot where you saw the glint in the darkness.  As you speak in your mind to the voice, you see a figure drop from the shadows and continue to hunch down in the gloom.  It is a man-sized creature, the outline of sharp claws visible, and a large head with a large central eye shimmering from underneath the bridge, reflecting the little light that resides there.

 The rest of you are, as above, caught between two close rooms of potentially deadly enemies.  But from the sounds of it, they seem unaware of your presence.  Doesn't seem as if they're too worried about potential attacks and keep on with their 'games'.  

Rabbit stops, looking back while waiting for those ahead of her to decide what they're doing.  She tries to figure out what Mau is doing. (Perception: 5)

 You assume he is checking out the crevasse for danger but not really sure. You’re more concerned with the problem in front of you. 

Wolfe too glances over at Mau. "Are you coming Mau?" He whispers.
Perception: 18

Hearing Wolfe's whisper from the darkness, Mau turns taking his eyes off the creature for a moment and relaxes his tail once more.  "There is some creature in the crevasse, it ..." he trails off for a second

 he shakes as head slightly "it... it's in my thoughts."  He turns back to the location where the creature was hoping to find it again.

Wolfe you're too far to really get an idea of what Mau is doing. You assume he is checking out the crevasse for danger.  You, like Krull and Edryd, are kind of caught between two dinner parties at this point.  Do you want to go over to Mau?

"A creature? Is it a problem Mau?" Wolfe whispers back to Mau.
He then moves a bit closer to Mau, trying to spot the creature in the crevasse.
Perception: 19 Stealth: 6

Wolfe, depending on how close you are to where Mau is you can see a shadowy figure in the gloom, large head and central eye shining back what little light there is.  All of a sudden, you hear in your head......

Wolfe's eyes goes wide for a moment but then he chuckles softly. "I believe this creature is trying to get into my head." He wispers to the others.

 "I don't know it's motivations, but it doesn't seem to want to attack us so far.  It's asking about Rabbit though ... or maybe Edryd I can't be sure"  Mau whispers looking towards Wolfe

'is it an enemy?friend?why does it speak to you?what does it want? ' whispers Krull quite puzzled to Wolfe 

"Because I approached it. You wouldn't want it in your head Krull so please stay back. I have yet to determine its intents." Wolfe whispers to the Goliath.
"What is it asking?" He whispers to Mau.

"Interesting observations and not entirely inaccurate I admit, but I wonder what you have to gain from pestering me with your deranged thoughts. Luckily for you you're not the one we are here for. Stay out of our way and you will have other minds to pester in time." Intimidation: 10 Lucky reroll: 13

Quote from chiding_loki >>

 

"What do you know of the cult!?  Tell me what you want and I may be able to provide it for you.  The redbrands have become a nuisance in the region and we have come here to remove them.  If you stay out of our way you will have no trouble."

 "I don't know it's motivations, but it doesn't seem to want to attack us so far.  It's asking about Rabbit though ... or maybe Edryd I can't be sure"  Mau whispers looking towards Wolfe

Mau:

[/At this point no one else can hear this creature, and Wolfe and Mau are too far away to converse without alerting one or both of the groups behind the doors.  I suppose this would be the last time I will say that ;)

Krull signals Wolfe to come back pointing were he heard the goblin ( assuming he can see him)

Yeah, you can get his attention definitely.  Whether he listens to you or not...

"It wants magic it seems. Possibly we can prevent it from interfering with us if we have a magic item for it, but I'm not at all sure. Do you have a magic item that you are prepared to part with Mau? Otherwise we can either ignore it, with the apparent risk that it alerts the Redbrands to our presence here, or we fight it, likely with the same result. It's a pickle to be sure." Wolfe whispers to the Tabaxi beside him.

Rabbit is not at all pleased as two members of their group seem to have decided to go have a chat in the middle the Redbrand stronghold. 

She quickly makes the motion with her hand and speaks a word to cast Mage Hand.  A ghostly hand appears right next to Wolfe. (Hmm, she hopes she didn't confuse this with Chill Touch!)  It grabs Wolfe's shirt and yanks as hard as it is able in the direction of the rest of the party.

Wolfe contacts the creature in the crevasse one more time:

He then quickly nods at Rabbit and tugs at Mau to follow along. "Okay, sorry about the delay, a telepathic creature in the crevasse contacted us about wanting magic items, I responded that we will get him something on the way out. Now, our mission is to find Glasstaff, but we should perhaps take care of his minions so that we don't have to fight them on our way out. Let's take this door." He whispers to the others as he gets back, pointing at the door to the south. "Okay, quick and eh...silent now." He says looking at Edryd and Krull before opening the door, ready to blast away from the corridor.
Stealth: 22 Perception: 13

@Wolfe:

 Okay, so I just want to be very clear and so that you are also very clear about what you are about to do: take a look at the map and tell me where you'd like to be (coordinates).

Would you like to do anything more gamewise, RP wise, before Wolfe opens the southern door - where he heard the goblin and where Krull heard some bugbear voices?
