Lost Mines of Phandelver by kyleh2486

Quote from Legoslost >>

Morpetor Begins to mutter under his breath (casting mage hand). The rest of the group begin to see small amounts of rocks being moved, but by bit, as if by a magical and unseen hand. 

Ooc - Morpetor will do this until the water trap no longer poses a threat. 

These rocks are larger than the 10 pound lifting capacity of mage hand. You’d have no issue moving them by non magical hand. A few rocks would alleviate the water being held back into a steady stream.  

Renvalm Hellhelm
Lvl 2 | Human | Barbarian 

Seeing Morpetor's mage hand struggle to move the rocks and wanting to move things along, Renvalm will get into the water and start moving a few rocks. 

Carrying Capacity:240lb.
Push, Drag, or Lift:480lb.

Seeing Renvalm get into the pool, Yuri will go to the edge. "That torrent of water was enough to wash us all out of the mine last time, be careful to get out of the way before too many rocks are moved."

Morpetor 

“Hmm, those rocks seemed smaller at first. Thanks Renvalm.”

Once the threat is relieved, “My vote is to head across the bridge, as to fully explore this hideout. Shall we proceed in the same order?”

Gramgran

Gramgran will follow behind Renvalm, saying, "You're so big, I have to stay close to you, because you get hit so easily with all that muscle!"

Kim

For extra insurance Kim concentrates, chilling the water with a barrage of Ray of Frost to try and freeze as much of the water as possible.

Kim is able to stop the flow while the rocks are moved. Once a hole is made, Ren punches the ice to allow the stream to flow, emptying the pool,of water. The trap has been disabled for the time being. It will take at least a days flow and the rocks replaced to ready the trap again. 

Yuri

Readys himself to push on through the cave system he heads towards the bridge as per Morpetor's instruction.

Perception - 8

Renvalm Hellhelm

Continuing to follow behind Yuri, Renvalm readies himself for a fight. "Now that is settled, let's continue on. Though I must say, if we clear this cave of all of the goblins there wouldn't be anyone to use the water trap."

Yuri

Nods at Renvalm's words "I was thinking about not having to worry about this when Gundren inevitably asks us to retrieve the other supplies."

Morpetor

"Bridge? Shall we?"

"Sounds like a good idea Morpetor." Kim said with a smile. 

As you all cross over the bridge you can see the bridge is 20 feet over the cavern's walkway below. The cavern is still black out dark and a torch must be carried to for the PCs without dark vision. The cavern begins to curve around and the sounds of goblin chatter starts to echo. Making your way over he bridge and through the tunnel, you must proceed single file again. Whoever is leading the way stops for a moment as they begin to hear the noise. The others also hear the faint chatter. At this point you are all far enough away that you do not draw attention, but you also can not make out what is being said. 

Gramgran

Peeking out from behind Renvalm, Gramgran says quietly to the group, "Someone needs to sneak up there and see what's what. I creak a bit too much in my old age to do it, so one of you dearies will have to. Just yell if they see you okay?" Gramgran looks around the group, since no one has been particularly stealthy so far. "Don't be shy, we'll be right behind you!"

Yuri

Shrugging his shoulders in a 'here goes nothing manner', Yuri attempts to edge closer to the mouth of the tunnel.

Stealth - 8

Straining his senses to catch more of the conversation coming from the next cavern.

Perception - 22

Renvalm Hellhelm
Lvl 2 | Human | Barbarian 

Still holding his torch, Renvalm stays near the rear so the light can't give them away.

Kim is standing next to Renvalm to steal view from his light. She is creating the small icestorms in her hands in case Yuri yells for help.

Morpetor files in behind Yuri to provide some ranged fire power, if needed. 

Yuri inches into the cavern a bit further leaving the others a little ways behind. He can peek around the corner without alerting the goblins. Yuri can see about 4 -5 goblins talking about what they are about to eat. 

OOC - how far are they from the entrance?
