Wasting no time, Skakan leads you all to the sewers. Already the stench of sewage assaults your senses, but with a murder charge hanging over your heads (and not to mention 500 more galifars) you press onwards. Skakan makes some small talk at the start, chattering away about his 3 kids and about life in the lower parts of Sharn, however, he starts to whisper and hush you before you round corners keeping his ears and eyes peeled. You are certain he's worried about those thugs he mentioned earlier - The Red Jackals.
Finally, Skakan points out a narrow passage that leads to a staircase that descends deeper into the tower. He informs you he's done leading you, "Down this staircase, you'll find what you're looking for I reckon. The cluster is just down there. If memory serves, there is a big door there. To the left at the bottom of the steps, then to your right. You can't miss it!"The goblin takes his leave after that.
Following his directions, you descend lower into the sewers. With each step-down, the odor of mold and sewage becomes stronger, and you can hear liquid sounds increasing in volume as you descend. What is the marching order as the staircase forces you to move single file into the depths?

"I know people is all, Yrwin."Archy replies, "I've avoided coming down this low in the city in the past. Two days ago I was sipping wine on the Skyway. Yesterday I was as low as I'd usually fall. What a turn today has been. But I assume the difference between two days ago and yesterday is at least doubled to today. In any case you have to watch out for someone putting a knife in you. But at least down here you can be certain of why." He takes the rear, where he can be sure not to lose anyone, letting Darnic take the lead.
"Oh, well. Sorry for making such an assumption then, cuzkin Archy. You are of many masks, I seem to forget it every now and then." Yrwin follows behind Darnic.

(God. Sorry it takes me days to update this thread.)
Darnic leads the way. With the training of his house, his senses are heightened and as he begins the march through the waters of a disgusting sewer, he spots a shadowy figure to his right. Had anyone else been in the lead of the party, he feels certain they would have never spotted this fellow.
Before Darnic can say anything, this person appears to notice he's been found. A warforged steps out from the shadows, a rapier unsheathed and at its side. "You have the provost's journal," the warforged says. It's not a question. Before leaving the tavern, Miss d'Vown gave the journal to you all (assuming Archy may have taken it for safekeeping) stating that you would need it to access the foundry. "Give the book to me, and you can live to see another day. Refuse, and we will make your deaths slow and painful."

Yrwin pulls his component pouch out of his cloak reaches into it. Pinching a shamrock leaf between his fingers he holds it next to his smaller, wooden club. "Oh my oh my oh my."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Darnic, not wasting any time, lunges for the warforged as the veins on his bandaged arm bugle and lightning crackles up the blade (Rite of Storms). Booming Blade: Attack: 13 Damage: 7 slashing + 3 lightning, + 8 thunder if it moves. Darnic spins the blade back into a combat stance, “Bad move. I’ve had a real bad day so far.”
(I'll let Archy have his surprise attack cause WHY NOT (so he has advantage), but everyone else will take a usual turn in combat. Have at it!)

Archy pokes his head out to get a look around. (Perception: 5)
(Previous attack Advantage: 22)
Archy pulls the Assassin's Crossbow out and moves back up to the corner. He fires them both at the foe, hitting 12 for 7 and 19 for 5 piercing. Then falls back into the hall.
"Come out here where we can see you!" shouts Willie. She points at the warforged, surrounding it with the purple and green aura of faerie fire. Eager to join the fight, Willie is solely focused on the warforged in front of her and doesn't pay much attention to anything else (Perception 2)
Yrwin rubs the shamrock on his club, casting Shillelagh. He runs up to their adversary and whacks them square across the face with his club. Attack: 11 (If faerie fire hits. Adv: 11) DMG: 10
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Surprised by Archy's attack, the warforged sidesteps, but his shoulder is dinged by the bolt. "Have it your way." He whistles as he rushes toward Darnic, the closest of you. He attempts to skewer the half-orc with his rapier. (Attack: 18, Damage: 7) slashing damage.)
Darnic's imbued blade came down, but the warforged blocked it with a shielded arm.
Archy's main hand crossbow hits nothing, but from his offhand, his bolt flies and lodges itself into the open area between the warforged's shoulder and arm. The warforged pulls it out and snaps the bolt in two, swearing.
Willie unleashes her spell and covers the warforged in a wonderous green and purple aura! He radiates this fantastical light so much so that he distracts all except for Darnic from the sound of something swimming toward you all...
Yrwin joins Darnic in the beating of the warforged. He knocks at the warforged with his empowered club, yet it only seems to have made the warforged look down upon the kithkin.
That was with the fire nation shifters attacked!
From out of the sewer water, smelling just as lovely from where they came, two leather-clad shifters emerged! Shifter A by Darnic and the other (B) by Yrwin. Their feline eyes glow yellow in the darkness as their most bestial traits come on display. They swipe at their targets in unison!
Shifter A attacks Darnic, though Darnic at least sees the attack on its way. (Attack: 16, Damage: 4 slashing damage.)
Shifter B attacks Yrwin, and that shifter has advantage. (Attack: 24, Damage: 5 slashing damage.)
(okay, I am going to give up on the battle map for this fight so that we can move past it quicker... hope that is okay...)

Darnic raises to his full height and smiles down at the goblin, “Oh, I knew I liked you.”

Archy doesn't feel like this is the best time for chatter he lets a bolt loose, firing past the others, and hitting 8 for 11 piercing.
"Never heard of it" He loads another bolt as he backs up a few feet offering the others room to take cover.
