Casually putting an hand close to the hilt of his sword, Aedar turns towards the voice "Aedar at your service sir." He gestures towards Klaes "As he just said, we are looking for a friend of ours that got lost. Did you seen him? He should be nearby."" says Aedar describing Volo's friend and paying attention to any signs of recognition.

Ophelia turns to the voice. "Hello, I am Ophelia, sir. At your service. Maybe you could, em, identify yourself please." She flutters around the room, trying to see if she can find the source of the voice. She also inspects some of the things on the floor of the room. (Perception:5)

"Hi I'm Erynn! And you guys live down here? It doesn't seem very clean..."

The creature steps out into the light cast from Aedar’s spell and the party can see that it is a goblin. It yawns as if it has just been woken up and looks a bit confused at being spoken to so politely before answering “Frederick J Fartalot at your service good sirs. Now what orf, auf, authority does you friend, who I’ve not ‘eard ov, ‘ave to go wanderin’ frew these ‘ere sewers?” He pauses and then continues “actually what authority does youse ‘ave?”

"If you have not heard or seen our friend, we will take our leave then." says Aedar walking a little bit closer to the goblin in order to get a better look at him while ignoring his requests for additional information. "You seem busy, Frederick."

"Uhmm... Mista Fartalot." Klaes tries to keep a straight face. "Do you happen to know these tunnels?" Klaes thinks that perhaps they could use a guide down here. "Yes, we are under the authority of a gentleman named Volothamp Geddarm. Do you happen to know him?"

(It is not necessary a lie, but if needed. Deception: 17)

The goblin replies "Volothamp Geddarn - don't know him but if youse says 'ees got authority to be down 'ere its godda nuff for me. On your way!"  The party continues up the corridor and down the stairs, after a bit over 30 feet it turns East (right) and after a further 40 feet widens out into a room (15x20 feet). The room contains six very tatty paillasses (straw mattress) lying on the floor.  In the southeast corner there is a door. Aedar moves up to the door and listens. On the other side he can hear the sound of what sounds like something being dragged across the floor. 

"I hear dragging sounds the other side of this door." whispers Aedar "It could be Floon being dragged around. Prepare yourself as I doubt that his captors will be friendly." adds the bard. Aedar gives to the group a moment or two of preparations then he opens the door.

Klaes was tempted in looking ahead of their fate, but he did not want to spoil his beloved Tarot deck, so he would let fate surprise him. "I am redy." Klaes just says.

Eryn nods, "Let's go."

Aedar opens the door. On the far side of the room he can see two figures on the far side of the room in deep argument. One - a dwarf of some sort - is frantically trying to block the door with bits of furniture, the other is a bald human with eye shaped tattoos on his head is gesticulating to the blankets on the paillasses. Aedar realises he has seen this character before - it was the one who started the fight in the Tavern.

"Hello there. We meet again it seems." says Aedar to bald man. "Waterdeep is a small place indeed." adds with a chuckle while keeping an hand near the hilt of his sword "What is going on here? And why did you start that fight at the tavern?"

Klaes stays next to Aedar, he tries to determine if the folks are up to no good.

Insight: 22

"Cos she was scum and didn't understand that we, da open eyes lads is top dogs, dat's why!" he responds to Aedar's questioning

"Open eyes? Is that the name of your band, crew?" asks Aedar rising an eyebrow "I hate to tell you, but it's neither catchy or scary. Baldheads would be a more fitting name." continues with a smirk as he takes a couple of steps forward. "Anyway, would you mind to tell us what's going on here?" asks to the dwarf. (Persuasion 6 if required)

The human runs his hand over his bald head and responds with a bigger smirk "much easier to display the art work when the canvas is clean so to speak. As to what's going on here something 'as come up from the privy and is 'eading this way. I don't fink buggalug's..." he gestures to the Dwarf moving the furniture around  "... idea is goin' ta stop it!"  

"Ahh..." Klaes indicates that he might understand the other party's predicament. "Perhaps, you could use some help. Is that right? If dat is de case. What do you need help from...?"

"Not real sure but something killed, dissolved is probably a better word, the two goblins we sent into that room to dela with it!" As the bald human points to a door in the northeast corner of the room the party can see that there is also a door in the southeast corner of the room.

"Dissolved you say?" says Aedar "I do not like the sound of that word..."
He turns towards the bald human "We are looking for a friend of ours, he has been abducted by some ruffians. We followed their tracks to this complex. Have you seen him?" asks Aedar after describing Floon to the human.
From time to time, Aedar turns towards the northeast door.

Eryn out of curiosity, approaches the door the man points out.
