Barty's "Lost Mine of Phandelver"

As Cinis falls, Argos runs over to the edge where he fell and checks to see if he is ok. Argos then continues to look around and speaks to his comrades, "Keep your guard up! There's something foul afoot. It's chattering in my mind. Cinis, are you ok down there?"

Cinis groggily gets to his feet. 

"I'm ok. My body broke my fall. I don't see a ladder anywhere. Toss me a rope." 

Tarok rushes over to the ledge. He takes his hempen rope out of his bag and fastens one end to one of the bridge posts, laying his sword on the ground next to him.

"Can you stand Cinis?" he calls out.

"I got it. Thanks for the rope. Coming up, now." Cinis said.

Athletics: 9

OOC: I won’t be able to do a proper post for several hours, but Nemean will ready his bow and stand guard as we help Cinis get back up.

DM Screen:

Cinis easily climbs to the top of the crevasse to join the rest of the group. In fact, the walls of the crevasse are rough enough that a rope isn't even necessary.

 Argos:

Tracking:
The west and northwest tunnels are on your side of the bridge.
The east tunnel and north room are on the other side of the north.
The south bridge no longer exists. 

Tarok helps Cinis back up, then picks his sword back up. He looks around for the source of the thing chattering to Argos.

Perception: 3

Cinis dusts himself off and looks around. 

"Let's try that other bridge. But carefully this time"

The room remains as described earlier:

A crevasse divides the cavern and is flanked by two rough stone columns that support the twenty-foot-high ceiling. There are tunnels to the west, northwest, and southeast, and further north is a room that looks less natural than the cavern.

"Let's take this tunnel, we can work our way around from there." Argos points to the west tunnel.

"Let's head to that room up north. Tunnels could lead us anywhere." Cinis said as he made his way toward the room to the North.

"Alright, north it is then" Argos will move along towards the north room with the rest of the group. Argos will take 2nd place in marching order, or 1st if nobody else takes it.

DM Screen:

This area is the north end of the large natural cavern, but it has been finished with dressed stone block walls and a flagstone floor. Several barrels are stored along the wall here, along with a number of empty crates, straw for packing, hammers, pry bars, and nails. 

Cinis:

Tracking:
The cavern continues for some distance to the south. You can make out the several passages that open up off the larger cavern.

"This room seems so random. It doesn't open up anywhere but to the cavern? Look along the walls, maybe there's a secret door or hallway somewhere." Cinis said once they got to the disappointingly boring room.

What is that voice? Is it from... from what I did? Cinis shuddered at the thought as he looked along the walls for any sort of hidden passageway.

Perception: 13

Nemean decides to take a position in the back as he follows his companions into the north room. Keeping his bow ready and trying to remain alert to any sign of a Redbrand.

I can close distance quickly if we are to fight face to face, or I can strike with my bow from afar.

After not seeing anything after immediately entering the room, Nemean checks to see there are any signs of recent activity in the area.

Perception: 14

Tarok looks around the room to try to find something that anyone could hide behind, or else any shadows to hide in.

Perception: 6

"Well, looks like there's not much in this room, perhaps we take one of the western tunnels." Argos stands in the center of the entrance to this room, cautiously looking around for the source of the voice in his head.

Cinis finds nothing unusual about the walls, and Tarok doesn't see anything in this room that would provide any tactical cover. Nemean doesn't see any obvious signs of immediate use, it appears this room is used mainly for storage.

Argos, however, standing in the entrance, notices a section of the western wall with a slight indentation.

OOC: Does Tarok see the battered wooden chest that Cinis spotted when he fell in earlier?

(OOC: We're not in the crevasse, we're in a room.)
