The marionette shrugs. "Just the librarians. They won't bother you unless you annoy them, or dirty the place up or whatever. How many entrances? I don't know. Three? four? Just go in!"

"I really hope that this letter tells us about some kind of weakness that Skabatha might have," Titaani grins. "What else you got, little guy?"

"Uh... well..." It stops to think for a moment. "Endelyn is terrified of eclipses. I know this is probably Motherhorn’s worst-kept secret," the little doll admits, "but it's all I got. That's three! Will you let me escape now?"

"Yep!" Titaani leans forward and gives the marionette a pat on the head. "And tell the brigganocks we sent you."

Ben:

"Travel safely and remember to keep the path secret," says Ben.

" Ok...so letter or mountain? Or explore here first?" Matilda queried.

"I'm dying of curiosity about what's in that letter," Titaani shares. "Maybe we can do that first? Especially since the library isn't guarded or anything."

" Nice. Lets go."

" Let us sneaky girls go first, Old Timers."

" Up this way?"

Peeking out of this storeroom, matilda can see a cavernous workshop. It is noisy and hot. At least a dozen goblins work a forge, saw wood, and daub paint onto wooden backdrops. A woman in a tight-fitting dress barks orders at the workers while a goblin frantically makes adjustments to her costume using needles, pins, and thread. A tiny creature chained to a hooded lantern on a tabletop is using a stick of charcoal to sketch something on a piece of parchment at unbelievable speed. A wispy bulb of light flutters next to him.

The woman is being outfitted by a flustered goblin tailor, who keeps accidentally sticking her with dressmaking pins as they both move around the room. "Ow, stop it!" she snaps at him.

(Map scale: 1 square = 10 feet)

Matilda watched the goblin for a few moments before the offense became too much for her inner seamstress, " Oh, for goodness sake! Out the way!"

She marched over and began fitting the dress correctly.

" No wonder I was sent down here, utter amateur hour this is."

( Utgh....annoying...but at least it didn't seem to actually change the rolls as far as I can tell from mouse-over)

"Are we going in?" Titaani asks, turning to Matilda, only to realise Matilda was no longer there. "Oh, I guess we're going in."

Casting disguise self, Titaani makes herself look like a hunched over, old, human woman with Matilda's skin tone and similar clothing to Matilda, with the addition of an apron adorned with threads and scissors. 

"Yes, my granddaughter and I have been hired by Endelyn Moongrave," she croaks, clutching at her back. "Best to let her do her thing, she's even better than I am."

Deception: 19

As the rest of the party watches from the darkened storeroom, Titaani, disguised as an aproned elderly human, and Matilda, pretending to assist the tailor, approach the woman.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Skylla..." mumbles the harried goblin as he continues to try to tailor his moving target.

"My NAME is CHARMAY," explodes the woman in a rage, even as she squints at the little, sketching, chained-up brigganock to ensure he's working. She barks another order to a goblin carpenter. 

Now approached by Matilda and Titaani, the woman looks them up and down skeptically. DC 19 INT check: 14

"Skylla..." grumbles Elkhorn, quietly seething from the storeroom with the others. "Even in costume, I know her. She's one of the League of Malevolence," he whispers.

Skylla waves away Matilda in exasperation. "I have no time to break in new tailors. She's sending children now..." 

She turns and shouts at the goblins. "Five minutes! Five minutes to dress rehearsal! Move it! Move it! 'The Lich King’s Revel' is almost done. We're on next! 'Lamentations of a Warlock' will be our masterwork! Now MOVE!" She proceeds to ignore Titaani and Matilda.

Happy to be ignored Matilda waits for the woman to leave before approaching the brigganock.

Pud peeks into the room trying to see as much as possible. He spots the little Brigganock and Pud thinks to himself "That's gotta be Golmo!"

Pud focuses on the Brigganock and casts the spell message and attempts to communicate with it. In his first message, Pud says "Hi there. Are you Golmo? Don't freak out, just whisper a YES or NO answer."

IF this Brigganock is Golmo, Pud will do the following:

1. Relay this info to Horatio & Ben
2. Communicate this with Matilda and Titaani via message.
3. Lastly, he will send Golmo another message saying. "Golmo, we're here to get you outta here. Is the lantern that Charmay locks you in locked with magic or a key?"

Ben:

Remaining quiet and still in the other room, Ben listens carefully to the goings on.  If it sounds like their cover is blown, he will rush in, but for now he stays motionless.

The little brigganock shrieks in alarm, but his outburst is lost in the chaos and hubbub of work and preparation as they make their last-minute preparations. "Yes!" he whispers loudly. Then, a little quieter, "Key! Key!"  Although it looks like he might sometimes be locked in the lantern, at the moment he is simply chained to it. The chain doesn't look particularly strong, but certainly more than substantial for a little mouse-sized brigganock. 

The goblins continue to swirl around manically, preparing for their show. Matilda and Titaani are widely ignored, except for a few curious glances from the goblin carpenters as they race around.

There are three exits - a big set of sliding wooden doors to the east, a curtained stairwell to the north, and a third opening in the southwest.

Pud huddles next to Ben and Horatio.

"Uh...hey, guys. So, Golmo is chained up to some sorta lantern. Sometimes Charmay locks them up in the lantern, sometimes she leaves them outside but chained up. We could probably get Golmo once the show starts. Assuming the coast is clear. Unless we think it's better to leave them be while we investigate the library? Or maybe we can take Golmo with us when we do that. I dunno."

 He then turns to Elkhorn. "Hey, what's with this Skylla, or Charmay or whoever she is. What's their story?"
