Bilyur agrees, "I suppose it would be better to have all the money in one place, so we might keep track of it better."

When Hugh gets a chance to look through the chest, he makes a through search of the chest 21 for hidden compartments. "If no one else wants these," he pulls out one of the lock picks, waits a moment then makes it disappear (Slight of Hand 21) into his boot. "Have to try to stay in practice."

When Sly suggests she'd hold onto the money Eggo Lass tenses up. Other people... keeping the money? She looks around at the fellow party-members. Bilyur's quick agreement with arrangement causes a drop in her heart. Great. Now I look like a jerk if I'm the only saying "no." She forces a smile and replies, "Sure- that sounds like a great idea!"

[[ No issues with Sly holding the money from me. In-character, Eggo's two primary motivations right now are Money and Killing Ivory. Hence her trepidation of having someone else handling the purse. ]]

Hugh finds no hidden compartments, and successfully hides the kit into his boot in such a way where if you were ever captured and had your gear confiscated, they would not find the lock picks 

Sly [insight: 16] hears an undertone of strain in Eggos voice, giving the drow a quick glance. She does her best to act like she didn't notice anything [Performance: 4], but instead ends up looking back to Eggo way too often.

'I am trained in the arts of mathematics, surely I am the right person to handle this. Besides...' Aloud she mumbles. "'Tis barely enough to pay for a good meal back at the academy."

The wizard waits until Hugh has finished his search of the chest, using the time to throw a casual glance down the east and west hallways exiting from the room.

Bilyur looks between Sly and Eggo, shakes his head, and walks away. Adventurers. All they think about is money.

Sly looks down the tunnels and finds they are also similar to the room to the south of the starting room, with what looks to be the entrance to a labyrinth of sewer tunnels to the west and the entrance to another large chamber like the one you found the cultists in to the east.

"Well, the cultists told us to go east from here. Just as well. I don't feel like getting lost in a labyrinth." Sly looks back at the others for opinions. "But I shall follow if you're eager. I've heard it said that labyrinths hold riches aplenty."

Eggo Lass perks up at the mention of riches aplenty, "I suppose it couldn't hurt to at least take a little look." she says. And perhaps travelling down a tunnel would get Sly's eyes off her? "I've got some rope," she adds, "perhaps we could tie our ropes together as a bit of a guideline to ensure we don't make a wrong turn. Wouldn't get far, but we'd get a peak." She turns to Bilyur, "We do have that scimitar in case we run into cultists."

"Again, it would likely be good for someone who can use this held it, as I.am not proficient in a scimitar's use."

Sly looks momentarily confused, then holds out her quarterstaff to Bilyur. "Mayhaps you'll find this more to your liking? It's merely a walking stick for me and I'd much prefer keeping my hands unoccupied." The wizard holds up a twinkling crystal that is attached by a fine chain to her wrist. "My spells are channeled through this."

Bilyur takes the staff. "Thank you. I suppose Hugh could take the scimitar?" He says, holding it out to him. 

Hugh looks at the scimitar and then laughs, "Um, that sword is as big as I am. Thank you for the complement though. And unfortunately I'm untrained with blades that curve that much as well. I can carry it, but I cannot wield it well." He then unslings his pack and rummages around, "Chalk is what I have always used to mark which paths I have taken." Walking to the middle of the corridor, Hugh draws a small face, with eyes point away from the direction of intended travel. 

[No text in Hugh's sketch. And normal scimitars are 30 to 36 inches long. Halflings are 3 feet tall.]

"Are we ready?

Bilyur grins "My sword is as tall as I am too. And it's a short one."

Hugh straps the sword to his back and slips down the hall to the east checking for traps 19

Assuming the hall is clear, he proceeds down the hall to the door. Hugh again checks the door for traps 18.

Eggo Lass takes a look at Hugh's artwork. "That'll do." she says and begins following the halfling. She provides some dancing lights to aid his searches. She'll keep an eye out for anything approaching the group.

Perception: 12+3 = 15

The eastern room is identical to the room with the cultists in, however it is well lit by a multitude of hanging lanterns strung between pillars. The far eastern wall of the spacious chamber is absent, with a waterfall a few feet back where it should be, and the final 10 feet by 25 feet area of the room is a balcony of sorts, overlooking the watery drop into the deeper waterworks. It appears that the sewage tunnels head deeper from here as they go over the balcony, however there is a single exit to the south of off the observation point. As you enter, Eggo Lass and Hugh swear they spot a tall figure dart behind a pillar.

[I'll try and get a map sorted soon as it's been a while and things might be getting a bit confusing without it]

OOC: I'm assuming Golocha is still with us? Because I think she can use a scimitar. 

IC: Bilyur mutters to Hugh, "I would carry that scimitar. We should be able to produce that symbol at a moment's notice, though, I wouldn't count on too much, we have no proof that the cultists weren't lying."

[Yep, Galochka is still tagging along with the party, but their player can only post infrequently. Same goes for Aridrey/Pyrothornthebrave, although it’s been well over a month since their last post, I contacted them recently and they said they were still very much interesting in still playing, they have just been very busy recently. I’m aiming to get an updated map of the dungeon made and posted within the next hour or two, so stay tuned for that  ]
