Ulysse waddles up to "Old Croaker" and attempts to board. "I will ssail we you. Time iss not on our sside sso letss be off."

Ulysse and the elf climb onto Old Croaker, and “sail” away. 

Ulysse, when you enter Hulil’s cavern:

A warm rush of heat comes from a massive fire burning in the center of this cavern, its smoke venting up through a narrow stone chimney. The flames illuminate a rough painting of a five-headed dragon that dominates the north wall. A bedroll is spread out beneath the mural. Near the crackling blaze, a dwarf bundled in a heavy cloak sits on a stone chest beside an elf whose face is covered in dragon tattoos. The dwarf’s face is streaked with pulsing blue veins.

Back at the southern shore of Old Croaker’s pool:

You see Old Croaker return, ready to ferry more people across. 

“My name is Drusilia by the way.” Says the other elf who is still here, “I’ll stay behind with you, tortle. Hey you with the armour, are you going next?”

Jahn, or anyone else who wants to go next, make an animal handling check with advantage. 

(Boil and Ariakara can go across in the same trip, since they are both quite light.)

Jahn would look down and smile to the giant toad.  "Well met."   They'd go on themselves since they are wearing heavy armor. 

Animal Handling: 20

Doter sighs but agrees to stay behind. 

"Let me know if you come across anything medically significant, would you?" 

He'll stay in eyesight as long as possible, then try to stick with Drusilia so as to not be set upon by the frogs. He says to her, 

"So, how'd you end up in a frozen cave at the end of the world?"

"I'm guesssing you must be Hulil, my friends and I are here on behalf of Tulgi and others from town that have suffered a similar fate as you are. Honestly you two have been the only two we have found who are even still alive to speak of what is happening. We are seeking the items that Urgon Wenth has brought back from Eiselcross. It appears that every known person to be in possession of those items are being affected. We hope to narrow down the source of the curse or disease, whatever it is we are dealing with and hope it will lead us how to stop its spread and hopefully even reverse its effects. Is there any others you know of that is dealing with similar effects as you?" Ulysse gets closer to the huddled dwarf and tries to shine his flame light to inspect the viens.

 You successfully ride Old Croaker to the other side.

 (OOC: by the way, now that Ulysse and Jahn (the only two people carrying light sources) have left, you can’t see. Would you like to light a torch?)

Now that most of the pressing matters are taken care of, it seems Drusilia is a lot more bubbly and talkative. “Oh I work for the Uttolot family from Shadycreek Run. We were sent with the Lutan sisters to intercept treasure from Eiselcross before it makes it way to Uthodurn and/or the Dwendalian Empire.” She says chattily.

 Make a persuasion check. 

Back on the southern end of Old Croaker’s pool…

”Hey you two, goblin and half-elf. Do you want to go next?” Asks Drusilia. 

Boil and Ariakara, both make separate animal handling checks, both with advantage.

AH: 13

”a-a-aaa please don’t eat me big hopper…..goblins taste yuck! Me have armor an’ will make your tummy big ouch”

Jahn would look around the room for signs of the missing items that would possibly cause the disease, namely taking reference from the items on the receipt.

Doter lights a torch then asks about the Lutan sisters. 

"So I take it the Uttolots treat you pretty good then? I'm glad to hear you've all found a way to survive." 

 Drusilia: “Yeah, I mean, they pay us pretty well.”

 You see a stone chest with an outer lid carved with the face of a dragon.

 Ooc: yes he does

It seems that Old Croaker would beg to differ about the taste of goblins. It tries to bite you, but you somehow manage to block its heavy jaw with your shield. 

Everyone at the southern edge of Old Croaker’s pool, roll initiative. (i.e. Boil, Ariakara, Doter)

Ulysse persuasion: 12
