Progo's ears hear that there is talking happening and he puts a hand on Goraseth shoulder. "Do you hear what Progo hears? Sounds like the others are talking to someone, must be the dwarves coming to check on our progress. Progo doesn't hear yelling so Progo thinks the dwarves are happy with job so far."
"I have a few tricks up my sleeves" Rayce replies to Tryncaryn and the illusion they were speaking to dissipates. The real Rayce steps out of the shadows a little ways back, this one is armed with a bow."
OOC: she was using silent image to project an illusion of herself and sneaking in about 20ft behind it. Rolled at nat 20 for total 28 stealth on my first roll!
"It is good to meet you Tryncaryn and Tharanau. Forgive me for the deceit but this seems like a dangerous place and I was not sure what sort of welcome i would get. News of the dragon has spread all the way to Neverwinter and people there are concerned for Phandalin. I have heard of many sightings from people on the road. The beast seems to be getting bolder and the danger for the town is increasing by the day. I would be happy to help you with your endeavor here, the dwarves outside told me about your agreement with them. If you aim to drive off the dragon somehow, I would gladly join you in that as well. People in Phadalin have told me you have taken on several tasks to try and help. What progress have you been able to make so far?"
Hearing the discussion, Goraseth comes back towards the party. "Nice to meet you, Rayce. My name is Goraseth, champion of Bahamut, but also known as the The Silver Blade in Chult.". The dragonborn use his weapon to give a salute. "The more the merrier ! We could use your skills I am sure. By the way, very nice trick this illusion ! I am not much of a stealthy person, I prefer to fight and win fairly - but I do understand the necessity to hide and ambush" He nods at his companions. "So, I guess you are more an arcane user ? " he adds. Goraseth have learned to appreciate the arcane skills of Tharadau, but he always had great respect for proven warrior...
I am glad to meet a champion of the platinum dragon Goraseth. Your name has already spread in the area and I am sure it will one day be know throughout the sword coast. An old teacher once told me that there is a correct tool for every task. And i think you would agree that no tool is appropriate for every task, not even a blade as fine as yours. As I was saying to your companions, I just know a few tricks, though I am no wizard or sorcereress.
What about you Tryncaryn and Tharanau ? Where do your talents lie?
Progo steps around the corner as Goraseth introduces himself. The scrawny half orc eyes grow a bit larger at the sight of the disappearing illusion. Seeing the next, identical person step around the corner, Progo picks up a little piece of debris from the ground. "So you say you have heard of Goraseth, what do you hear of the infamous Progo? Lots of stories Progo assumes, though Progo sure not all true, they never truly grab Progos heroics!" Progo walks closer to the new comer, "Not to be rude but..." Progo lobs the debris over to Rayce, not to hurt but to see if it goes through another illusion. "Just confirming, Progo sure you understand."
Well met Progo. Is this the last of you or are there more? If it is fame you seek, I have friends who are quite adept at song and verse and always looking for a patron, i could introduce you and I am sure they would come up with something that would do you justice.
She lets the pebble bounce off of her and smiles.
A trick i love to play is to hide behind an illusion and shoot arrows or spells, it can take an enemy some time to catch on to what is happening. Perhaps we could try this trick together, my new friend. But I doubt it would work on these oozes Tharanau spoke of, such creatures do not have eyes.
ooc: I edited the last part since i had the spell effect wrong.
"Very well, another pair of hand will be useful. There are two doors other there that are waiting for us" Goraseth points at the secret passage. He places his finger on his temple and adds "Oh yeah, there are also a large pile of rubble. No oozzy things but a small draft that suggest there might be something behind !"
Sorry, I'm beginning to enter a vacation period and while I will try to check-in at least daily, I cannot promise that I will always be able to do so. From September 1, I should be back to normal.
For the brevity of things, since southern doors has no imminent threats behind them i will show you also what is behind northern doors, so you can interact with both rooms per same post.
Southern room: Half-buried in the rubble here is the skeleton of a dwarf priest wearing rotted red leather armor.
Northern room: An empty stone font juts out of the southwest wall. A stone wardrobe stands against the east wall.

"Nothing... but this place is full of surprise. We should look around.".Without any pause, Goraseth looks for secret passage and loot. Investigation: 11
"I speak and read dwarvish, did my apprenticeship with an old dwarf merchant. Good times and hard times..." Tharanau takes a pause while he remembers the long years of travelling. Then he stands with Rayce and Goraseth over the dagger amulet.
when it's sure that there is nothing else around, Tharanau will start to work on the rubble. If there are no tools around, Tharanau will head back out to the dwarves and get a shovel and also give them an update on how many oozes they have killed so far.
"They must have been a hell of negotiators, though. And they really love to hide stuff." Tryn says while hr gives the changing room with the wardrobe a good look over. (Perception: 4)
"Yeah, let's try to get rid of that rubble." Tryn agrees with Tharanau. "Let's bring the loose rocks into the room that's collapsed already."

Rayce finds that a stone wardrobe against the east wall holds the rotted remains of two suits of red leather armor (ruined and worthless). Rayce also finds a hidden door on the north wall of the northern chamber.
Progo discerns that the amulet holds power of channeling divine power. (it is a holy symbol)
Tharanau and Tryncaryn starts to work on the rubble, and realize that it might take a while.
Tharanau came out and is aware of the time, it is still before noon. You do not know at this moment when you would be able to clear the tunnel, but it is obvious that hours are in play.
Goraseth waits for Tharanau to come back. “That seems like a long work, but might be worth to put a few hours of labor. We could sleep here tonight, with the dwarves and leave early morning. What do you think?”

"Let's stick to the South first, shall we?" proposes Tryn and gets back near Seth.

"Agreed" and if nobody raises any concern, Goraseth will go ahead and opens the south door.

Progo follows Goraseth while he ponders the sorts of tales to have these tale teller friends of Rayce sing about.
Rayce makes an illusion of Goraseth that will walk about 10ft in front of him.
"You never know" she winks at Goraseth, "might be more than oozes down here".
She readies her bow and tries to blend into the shadows again outside of the group's light radius.
Rolled 18 stealth, 20 if she gets advantage for being obscured.
For the brevity of things, since southern doors has no imminent threats behind them i will show you also what is behind northern doors, so you can interact with both rooms per same post.
Southern room: Half-buried in the rubble here is the skeleton of a dwarf priest wearing rotted red leather armor.

Around the skeleton’s neck hangs a tiny jeweled dagger on a silver chain. The symbol is inscribed with Dwarvish runes.
If Goraseth would like to show his findings to anyone who can read dwarvish there is translation in te spoiler
Text on the symbol reads: "Greed is good"

Once the coast is clear, Rayce comes in to have a look starting with the north room.
Investigation rolled 18 for 23.
She casts comprehend languages to read the dagger and translates for everyone. The spell is good for 1 hour.
"Interesting message to wear around ones neck."
Progo inspects the daggers jewels looking for anything that looks arcane about the piece.
Arcana: 20
