Daisy stands there as the scuffle comes to a quick conclusion, with the older man lying before her with an axe buried in his head and Tyrgram quickly hurrying off with Englehart before the druid even has a chance to over her own healing magics. "Some simple healing magic will.. uh, okay. Whatever. Take care."
"Map?! Yeah, get him to draw us a map of the place. Much better than trying to remember what tells us,"Daisy suggests as the other interrogate the young Zhentarim. She then turns her attention to the newcomers. "I guess it's a good thing Martha sent along some more help. Hope you two turn out to be more useful."She eyes their captive suspiciously as he makes a deal.
(Insight 17: To see if Bjorn's offer is genuine)
Letting out a heavy breathe as the excitement of the episode finally passes through her veins, the dwarf stows the rest of the stones in her pocket that she realized that she was still clutching in her fist and walks over to the body. "Wythe, come get this please," Daisy says to the half-orc as she taps on the axe with her staff. The dwarf then makes a scooping motion with one hand in the air before her and a square of dirt from the floor of the tunnel next to the body is lift up and placed nearby. "Then you can take care of your mess, if you don't mind..?"She gives a nod to the hole she just dug.

"A map?!" the young prisoner rolls his eyes and looks at the dwarf "But who do you take me for, aunt? For Volo? I can do very little with a quill in my hand..."
"But don't worry," he adds, addressing everyone, "I'll tell you everything, you can't get lost, just bring me out..."
For Daisy:
Do you have the impression that Bjorn has now effectively decided to help you - although perhaps forced by circumstances. It's possible that even earlier he didn't have too much sympathy for this 'Mhurren Flick' or for the Zhentarim in general - and that even in their case, perhaps, it was circumstances that made him join them.
“We have an extraordinary talent among us, none other than our nimble-footed halfling friend, Nimblestep! Not only does he possess a masterful touch with his lute, but he is also a maestro in all things 'C'! And one of those is cartography! So, my friend, unleash your quill and let us witness the marvels of your cartographic prowess!“

Never underestimate the power of a finely crafted barrel, my friend! It is both a vessel of strength and a symbol of resilience.
Brimming with the opportunity to prove himself a true adventurer, Nim perks up and steps to the front of the group.
“Well I’m quite the climber! Weighing not much more than your last meal comes in handy for feats like this.”
He says patting his slightly rounded stomach and grinning widely at the group awaiting approval. His gold tooth flashing beneath his twirled moustache.
Without hesitation he secures his lute to his back and deftly begins climbing the rope whilst thinking to himself.
’Fool of a bard! You really should have listened to what they were talking about instead of thinking about dinner… I do hope it’s treasure awaiting the rope of this climb and not a fight…’
Nim tries with determination, but fails to identify a safe route to climb... he also starts, along a route where the ground seems less friable than elsewhere, but after climbing a few feet, the earth gives way under him and he is forced to back down, sweaty and frustrated.
(OOC: 8 is a failure - Nim can't start the climb - even if, at least, he doesn't fall. Obviously nothing prevents him from trying again just roll another time and if see if it gets better or worse... Or someone else can try. By the way, if he manages to climb someone strong enough, can even force others up like you want to do with Bjorn)
Clas turns to Nimblestep with a mischievous glint in his eye. He raises an eyebrow and asks, "Hey there, Nimblestep! How about a little boost to get you up that wall? I can lend you my mighty shoulders!" He chuckles heartily and continues, "Or, if you prefer, I can venture up the wall myself while you work your cartographic magic down here!” Clas pats Barrel and Ale with a determined grin.

Feeling slightly embarrassed by the lack of strength in his arms, Nim decides to try another tactic.
‘Let’s give them a show they’ll not forget!’
He thinks to himself as he wraps the rope around his arms for support and attempts to run along the cave wall pulling in the slack of the rope as he goes, planning to leap from wall to wall to provide lift as he ascends towards the top.
(OOC: Could this be done with an acrobatics check rather than an athletics one?)
Watching the shenanigans of the halfling for a moment, Tarysaa turned and moved back down the tunnel to the spot below the hole breech. Picking up the candle that had first been thrown down, she lights it ( Prestidigitation ) and begins inspecting the fallen blocks.
(combat log: Investigation 6 )
Cursing under her breath, Tarysaa painstakingly pours over the blocks, hoping to find some clue as to it's origins or reason for such a 'beautiful den' in these hills. Time passes as her frustration only grows as she finds nothing of note (or nothing she can find that is useful). With a muttered curse, she picks up her pack, bow and quiver case and rejoins her fellow chaosians.
Ilwythe will shuffle his feet, somewhat uncomfortable from this situation. He’ll say ”Nice to meet you. Are you both OK?”

The few blocks that Tarysaa is able to examine on her own shed no new light on the mystery of this place. Maybe moving or lifting some of the blocks could allow a more accurate investigation? But the elf is not sure if her strength is up to the task...
(OOC: No clues found with that roll, but if you want to try Athletics to move some of the block - or convince someone else to move or lift some of the blocks for you, you might discover more)
(OOC: Nim rolled 15 acrobatics check to ascend the wall.)
Using agility instead of power this time, Nim gives the fellow adventurers a show they'll not forget! Leaping from leap from wall to wall, the halfling gets on top quickly and without further trouble.
(If anyone else wants to try to go up, either the 'standard' way - Athletics check with Advantage, or the 'acrobatic' way shown by Nim - Acrobatics check, go ahead. When at least two or three of you are upstairs you can also hoist the others with arms, as you want to do with Bjorn, without them having to roll)
With a muttered curse, she picks up her pack, bow and quiver case and rejoins her fellow chaosians.
"Fear not, my newfound companion!" Clas declares, his eyes shining with excitement. "For I, Clas the indomitable, shall lend you my brawn, while you, with your brilliant mind, guide us to victory!" He puffs out his chest and flexes his muscles, emphasizing his physical strength.

Tarysaa looks at the flexing man and raises an eyebrow. "Not necessary, although a little help getting up out of this tunnel and hole would be appreciated. Tossing stone blocks looking for knowledge can wait until we KNOW we are safe from the Zhentarim and this taskmaster Bjorn and that old goblin thought was a danger." Tary tries to keep what little dignity she has left as she is tossed upward like a sack of potatoes.
"By the heavens!" Clas exclaims, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "Such elegance and poise in flight! You truly are a sight to behold, my nimble friend. Like an ethereal being dancing through the air, you make it seem effortless!"
