During the time they spent recovering, nothing attacked them, at least they saw nothing creeping close. The gnome and Dryads were making quiet conversation with Gomphus who was telling tales of his bravery and ability with a sword, tales that had some truth but were largely exaggerated.
Grabius stands up and looks around to make sure their situation hasn't changed too much. With that, he cautiously proceeds towards the staircase, inspecting for any traps or alarms.

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
As you reached his throneroom, king Blurgh was relaxed. He rested his legs on the arm of his chair and twirled his club around like a scepter, smirking at the adventurers. The bugbear did stand to greet them however.
"It look like me gots some uninvited guests hmmm?" He asked in a teasing deep voice. "Here to talk with king blurgh?"
Grabius stays silent, taking in the surroundings quickly. Then he speaks up...
Perception: 9
"Good day sir! [bowing low; eyes still trained on Blurg] I hope this doesn't come as too much of a surprise, but it seems we have a misunderstanding on our hands. I believe you to be the mighty Blurg, is that correct? We were sent to acquire your services, but your guards wouldn't come to their senses in sharing a dialogue; rather abruptly attacking us. It's a shame really since we were told stories of your strength and tenacity. Are these stories true? We were really hoping to ally ourselves with a proven band like yours. We are on a mission of great importance and must forego formalities in haste. You came referred to us by an imp, Quintus. Is this name known to you?"
"Maybe because there weren't that many." He chuckled. "Blurgh does not need guards to help."
"What did he telled yous? Caelius telled me dat Quintus would not ask for no more peoples!" Blurg growled, his pleasant smirk fading. "What you want adventurers?

Boxey is going to pray to Tempus for spells and a little bit of guidance when it comes to facing the upcoming threat.
