Barty's "Lost Mine of Phandelver"

OOC: Spider-Finna would be able to draw the general shape of the room, but detailed mapping on a stone floor would be beyond the ability of a spider.

Finna has explored the extent of the tunnels to the south and east now, if she is stopping without crossing the cave she just found. The only place she has not explored would be north past the store room that she found.

If there is a way to walk (on the ceiling) past the ghouls undetected, then Finna will check north.

Spider-Finna Stealth: 10

For Finna:

Considering suspicious fungi that grow everywhere, Finna will crawl with double care (if it's possible) only to take a peek at the bellows from outside, without exposing herself to any danger inside. 

For Finna:

In the silence of the tunnels, Roland clears his throat. "Something doesn't sit well with me. I'm going to return to the wagon so Droop is not alone if something attacks," he says.

For Finna:

Then Finna will risk to slowly go north (?) if there is an exit there, trying to stay away from the corpses and utilizing every sense spider form can provide to scan for danger.

For Finna:

Nemean paces nervously as they wait for Finna to return, as time passes he will occasionally poke his head in and out of the hallway, keeping an eye and ear out for their companion. 

Perception 21

Thulgrim has probably not been content to sit still all this while, and has been inspecting some of the southern areas that have been given the all-clear by Finna, but not straying too far from the rest of the group.

For Finna:

OOC: I will resolve Thulgrim's actions after Finna's next action.

Finna was in no shape (literally and figuratively) to fight, yet, the last thing she wanted is to bring hoards of zombies and a magic skull to the  unprepared group... The plan was simple but needed some luck on her side.

She moved back to the tunnel she came from (for spiders it's 40 ft move and she was at the entrance, right?) until she could turn and break the line of sight with the skull. There (as a bonus action) she would drop the spider form and as an action cast Invisibility on herself.

For Finna:

For Thulgrim:

DM:

OOC: I need a map! :) Am I right and between Finna and the group is a big cave with 7 ghouls in it? With no source of light anywhere?

Wounded, surrounded by darkness, without ability to shape-shift and with no safe means to light up anything... Nice! Finna sighed at her own arrogance that made her neglect any shed of protection besides animal form, and tried the first idea she came up with - hug the wall. She was moving south (back to the group) along the wall that was the opposite to the ghouls location. Slowly, as quietly as she could and maintaining constant contact with the wall, listening intently for any sign of moving undeads. 

OOC: You have it correct.

Finna Stealth: 24

Finna peers into the next large chamber, which is separated by escarpments on its eastern and western ends. She tries her best to maintain steady breathing and a quiet pace as she descends a staircase to reach the lower floor, which leads to the storeroom she found earlier, and back to the party. However, as she reaches the southern exit of the room, she scatters a pile of rubble in the darkness. All falls silent for only a moment before an deathly screech fills the room, followed by the sounds of the undead, now aware of her presence.

To the south, the stone door opens easily for Thulgrim, its dwarven construction lasting through the years. The chamber inside was once an office or storeroom of some kind. A large stone counter bisects the room, set with three dusty balance scales made of iron. Cubbyholes carved into the north wall are stuffed with dusty paper scraps. Several long-dead corpses--gnomes and orcs by their look--are sprawled across the floor.

Thulgrim enters the room and looks around (unless the below happens first), slowly picking his way among the corpses, seeing if there is any remaining ore on the scales, or glancing casually at the papers in the shelves.

At the sound of the screech (assuming he heard that from where he is), Thulgrim hurries back to where he left his companions, hefting his greataxe. The long-awaited opportunity for battle makes the veins in his temples throb.

They might heard the noise but should not have seen her! Not yet! The exit was always there and if they wanted to leave they would do it by now. Finna picked up a rock, trew it in the opposite direction she was going to run to (they might run to the sound of that) and hurried down the stairs (? southern exit - is the one with the stairs too, right?) in hope, that by the time ghouls find their way up, she will get far enough.

OOC: if she is on already discovered territory - can you show where are we all?
