Biezdar is getting impatient with the situation and is strongly thinking about trying to force his way trough the blades machines. But he takes a deep breath, and goes to see how talking with the gnomes guards is going, so i assume he can learn that there is a lever behind the blades. Knowing that and hearing gnome guards wont move as they have to guard for shapeshifters. Biezdar says: "I have had it with their tricks and traps guys, i am going around to pull that lever from other side!" Then Biezdar goes around. / route of his movement on the map / ( I have read earlier post and am positive that i need athletics check to climb a cliff, so i will assume i might need one to climb it down. I will first roll to climbing down first cliff that is on the east, then to climb up a cliff that is on the west. Climb down is 3+6=9 and climbing up another one is 8+6=14
oh and if it is needed and if i make it there i rolled stealth with disadvantage(armor) to not wake up the gnomes: 11,8+2=10
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
You fall down the first cliff, taking 8 damage. You do manage to climb the second one, though it is difficult. The noise from the waterfall is loud enough to block out the noise from your armour. Even without a stealth check, the gnomes don't wake. As part of your route to the lever, you go through a workshop. Tables are littered with half completed inventions with no obvious purpose. Multiple tinkers tools are around, and there is a 10ft high ledge with a leather bound book on a pedestal. There are two gnomes in a heated debate in gnomish, who don't seem to notice you approach. You can get to the lever without disturbing them if you wish.
Satisfied enough with the sentries answer, Quin leaves them with Jayson so that he can tell Biezdar and Gor how to stop the blades. Biezdar storms past him on the bridge. As the determined man steps around Quin he says something to him but the crash of the falls obscures all but the word "trap". Quin tries to shout after the man but the roar again prevents the message from getting through. Before Quin can offer his help the fighter swings a leg over the cliff edge and promptly plummets to the ground below. Horrified but also a little intrigued, Quin gazes over the edge to what he expects will be a grim sight. He heaves a sigh of relief when he sees Biezdar slowly rise and shake off the injury. Quin offers a nod of respect as Biezdar makes the top of the cliff. Having just suffered a similar incident he understands just how bad that hurt.
Quin returns to the blades and waits for Biezdar to make it to the other side. Once the blades stop he joins everyone on the other side.
”Gentlemen, it has been indeed illuminating chatting with you both. I thank you for your time. Assuming we have satisfactorily demonstrated that we are not shapeshifters, could you possibly tell me where we may find Dabbledob and/or Fibblestib? And then I must rejoin my companions.”
Once Biezdar is reunited with Quin and Gor he speaks: "Where is Jayson, I saw two gnomes working on something in the chamber right behind that one, they may have been the ones we are looking for, but i just skittered past them to get to you first. Where is Jayson? Are we going or what?"

Jayson looks around. The sentries seem disinclined to answer or give directions. The party has vanished. Biezdar will no doubt be ready to go wherever the group was supposed to go.
How to find everyone? Anyone?
Jayson cops a squat and readies his yarting. If nothing else, someone is bound to hear him and maybe send in his way or come back for him.
”Ladies and gentlemen, “the bard says to no one in particular, “You’re a beautiful audience. I’d like to play a new tune for you. I call it, “Biezdar’s Waiting”.
Jayson proceeds to belt out this bad boy, pushing the volume to overcome the waterfall and tge distance between himself and whoever might hear.

**Biezdar's Waiting**
Well, hey there folks, gather 'round
I got a tale 'bout a man I found
Who's been waiting all his days
In a small town, in a haze
Biezdar's his name, a simple man
Living off the land, doing what he can
But deep inside, there's a fire burning bright
Waiting for something to make it all right
He's been waiting, waiting for so long
Watching the world go by, singing his song
Hoping for a change, for a chance to break free
From the chains that bind and let him be
Biezdar's waiting, for his time to come
For a new adventure, to finally roam
Through the hills and valleys, under the sun
To find his place, where he truly belongs
So here's to Biezdar, may his wait soon end
May he find his calling, may he on life's bend
Discover a path that leads him to his fate
And may he never lose hope, or let it dissipate
Biezdar's waiting, for what's meant to be
For the winds to change, to set his spirit free
And when that moment comes, we'll all stand and cheer
For Biezdar, the man who waited without fear
Yeah, Biezdar's waiting, but not for long
His story's unfolding, his heart beats strong
The world awaits, with open arms and skies
For Biezdar's journey is about to rise
So listen close, to this humble tune I sing
About Biezdar's waiting, for the joy it will bring
The sentries are happy to tell you that Dabbledob and Fiddlestib should be in the room just past the spinning blades (I.e. The workshop with two people arguing)
Gor listens to Jayson's song and looks absolutely marveled. When it's complete, and the blades have been disabled, and the locations of Dibblestib and Farblesnarb or whoever have been relinquished, he decides to follow the bard.
"Jayson..." Gor says, completely gobsmacked by the song, "...that was really good! Oah! Could you teach Gor how to play like that? And how to sing? You make it look so easy! You must be a genius!"
The male and female gnome, who you assume might be Fibblestib and Dabbledob (or Dibblestib and Farblesnarb or whoever), are still in a heated debate as you all approach. Seeing a number of people, as opposed to the one earlier, they do notice, stop and turn your directions. They talk over each other to you, finishing each others train of thoughts but also just generally interrupting. (Blue male, pink female for stereotyping ease)"Ah, maybe you can help us.We have a bit of an issue, one of our Kings has gone mad and is holding the other king prisoner.We are worried he is a danger to himselfand others so we need to cure his madness.I propose we build a "sanity ray",which is obviously a dumb idea and we should build a "straitjacket",which is even worse. What do you propose?"
”I can likely teach you the basics, enough to get started. We’ll look into it once things settle down a little. It would be my pleasure.”
Turning his focus to the gnomes, Jayson says, “Maybe you should give us a little background. When did the king’s behavior begin to change? As you say, the crazy one. How did his madness first manifest?”

Jayson raises his eyebrow.
”So you’re saying you know, definitively, there is indeed a shapeshifter already milling about your caves? How did you learn this?”
"King Korboz told us to guard against them, and so that is what we are doing."

If that so then i will get past them unnoticed and go to the lever and pull it to see if it stops the blades.

The blades do stop. Everyone can get past to the other side with no difficulty

Jayson lingers with the gnome sentries, waiting to see what the others develop.
”So, sirs, is His Majesty King Korboz on-site in this cave network, or does he rule all of this from a different location?”
"King Korboz and King Gnerkli both rule from here. We are one clan and they are our leaders."

“Two Kings? How does that work?” Kosef doesn’t know much about gnomish royalty.
"They are married and so rule together."

Well, hey there folks, gather 'round

In a small town, in a haze

But deep inside, there's a fire burning bright
Waiting for something to make it all right
He's been waiting, waiting for so long

Hoping for a change, for a chance to break free
From the chains that bind and let him be
Biezdar's waiting, for his time to come
For a new adventure, to finally roam
Through the hills and valleys, under the sun
To find his place, where he truly belongs
So here's to Biezdar, may his wait soon end
May he find his calling, may he on life's bend
Discover a path that leads him to his fate

The world awaits, with open arms and skies
For Biezdar's journey is about to rise
So listen close, to this humble tune I sing
About Biezdar's waiting, for the joy it will bring
A reminder to us all, to never lose sight
Of our dreams, our hopes, our guiding light
Biezdar's waiting, oh yes he is
But he won't be waiting forever, that's the gist
For in his heart, there's a spark that ignites
And soon enough, he'll take his flight
Biezdar's waiting, just you see
For the next chapter in his history
So let's raise a glass, and toast to his tale
For Biezdar's waiting, but he won't ever fail
Yeah, Biezdar's waiting, but he won't ever fail
