Shadow doesn't find anything interesting in the oven.

(Anyone else want to do something in this room?)

(I dunno... maybe fight a boss and start another quest) 

(We go through all this effort to open secret doors and nothing is behind them. I think we are tired of that as a group. You can tell that every time that happens people stop posting and the thread stalls.) 

(I really love this character  and story but I can understand how its not that motivating. It doesnt have to be a monster or skill challenge every time either. I would love to just meet someone new... I got really excited when we ran into the sleeping gnome but that turned out to be nothing as well.) 

(Flyingmatthew, I think you have been doing a great job thus far but these are just my notes.) 

"One way or another looks like we're going to end up in more tunnels," Tyris says, waving at the tunnel in the southwest of the room.  "At least this one is larger.  Should we check it out?  Shadow, want to clear us a path?"

ooc: @Keneux : I may also agree with you but I guess soon we will find something out that will explain all this mess

Oreus nods to Tyris 

OK

So he goes forth

Shadow will sweep a path to the larger tunnel and head in

Shadow enters the tunnel which curves around south. About 20 feet in it branches out with a smaller tunnel (normal sized tunnel) heading west and the larger tunnel continuing south. 

Continue to follow the larger tunnel south

Following the bigger tunnel another 15 feet Shadow leads the party to another room, he sees...

A five-foot-wide, rough-hewn circular tunnel breaches the west wall of this chamber (the one you are in). Another punches through the east wall. The rubble left by the excavation of these tunnels has been pushed into the northeast part of the room, leaving the rest of this chamber clear. There are hallways leading both north and south. A few rat bones litter the floor, but otherwise the room appears empty.

Shadow make a perception check. 

20 perception 

Shadow sees a small humanoid with goat like feet appear in the middle of the room and then disappear again about 20 feet from the eastern tunnel. You hear these words "Taral yen zuggek"

"What the what now?"

“I see a skulk common let’s go after him” shadow tells the party then chases after the creature dashing toward the east side 

The rest of the party is distributed as Shadow enters the room and disappears, only to reappear 30 feet away and then disappear again about 40 feet away.

Oreus is surprised but not that much, someone’s presence was sooner or later expected.

since he has this strange property of disappearing, the paladin doesn’t go directly into melee but takes his javelin

 Nobody can see Shadow or the strange machine, but you can hear him ask a say ”what are you?”

Everyone roll initiatives and if you roll higher than 4 you can act with what knowledge you have.

Initiative:11

Alben readies his crossbow and steps forward into the room, off to one side (North) and waits to see if an enemy appears to shoot.

Initiative: 23 

Tyris raises his bow when Shadow tells them he sees a skulk, then pauses as Shadow enters the room ahead and vanishes.  Wary, he readies his bow to attack any creature that appears and appears hostile as he steps forward, stopping just before the point where Shadow disappeared and peers into the room, trying to see what might have caused it.

Attack (if triggered.  Using sharpshooter): 3 Damage: 16

Investigation: 6 (Or +2 more if it should be perception instead)
