Tharnak chuckles and shakes his head in disbelief. “The sooner we go, the sooner we get To the money.”

"Life is more than money, just saying."

“I had to grow up without it. It’s kind of hard to stay alive without any.”

(bro he’sa rogue what do you expect?)

(Well, he see's it coming, but unless the topic changes Aedel is going to give you a speech on moral values...)

"Well, in my opinion-"

(Quick! Stop him!)

“C’mon you long winded elf.  Let’s keep exploring.  Keep your gibblelty gab and your dance moves to yourself until we get to a safer place, we need to keep moving.”  Carl walks out of the door and looks around in the hall.  

"Sounds good."

Sinju looks into the room once more before walking out with them, saying, "Money is a useless metal to Monks. But why that Hobgoblin killed that Dwarf for anything else except to hear his screams of pain is unbeknownst to me."

"Maybe for information."

Music and frivolity fills the usually dreary tunnels of the mountain. After the horror of battle it is a great relief to laugh and sing, if only for the briefest of moments. Everyone who needs it take 1d4 healing as the momentary release restores your spirits. 

You all leave the room, returning the way you came. You soon pass the right hand passage that would lead you back toward the entrance and continue deeper into the mountain. The passage winds this way and that for a time before you eventually reach another junction.

You may continue straight on or turn left into a passage where you see a number of doors on the right hands side of the passage.

Which way do you all go?

Tharnak looks to the others before saying “What do you think? Left, maybe?”

Healing 2

"Sounds good."

Neil strokes his beard thoughtfully.

"Left works, I suppose, if there's nothing of note to differentiate the two paths."

(Thanks for the healing, rolled 4 in the game log).

I'm okay with left also

"Same," Aedel says as he puts his instruments into his bag.

Aedel thought of an invention idea that he sketched in his book. It's a flute with a blade at the end, so you can both play and use it as a throwing knife.

•  slanted holes for air to escape ↑

The dash at the far left tip of the flute is something that you could tie a string to should you want to quickly pull your flute back, Aedel is wondering if he should add that to the design.

“Left is fine with me.”  Carl says, looking and listening.  After his intestinal rumbling and bass note in the other room, he takes 1 points of healing.  

Tharnak healing: 3

Sinju nods and says, "Lets take left. Something about those doors is interesting"

Healing: 3

You all take the left hand passage and soon arrive at the first door on the right hand wall. The door appears to be locked and you hear muffled shouts from within.

What do you all do?

Tharnak tries to pick the lock: 17
