OOC: Assuming Evrik grabbed all of the things he found on Topsy before moving over to heal the others.
After healing his companions and himself, Evrik began to look at the loot he grabbed from Topsy. He had no use for the swords or scroll, but... well... they were his after all. Why did these others want his things? "I found these! Keep your hands to yourselves, they are mine!" he shouts towards the others. Then, with a scowl, he scans the crowd and, keeping his distance, he cautiously begins to follow Biggs to a place to rest. I need to rest, he thinks to himself, but these folk... I don't trust them... I'll find my chance...
Mr. Biggs glances back once after Evrik's outburst, then to the others following behind and give a questioning look. But ultimately, he just shrugs it off and moves on down a nearby tunnel. There may be back tracking along the way, but some ten minutes later of walking and short climbs through an off-shoot tunnel, the group come to an alcove off to the side. They almost miss it at first as the angle of the walls obscured the alcove from at least one direction. The only reason Biggs noticed was by a small symbol carved in the side of the wall.
Oddly enough, he smelled the symbol to before nodding to himself and proceeding to leading the others inside."Welcome to Cosco La Patches. Courtesy of my old buddy, Trusty Patches! It ain't much look at. Kind of the small side two. But that is where this comes in."As Biggs spoke he digs out a length of rope(10ft worth), and places it on the ground. Fishing out the rod next, he clears his throat, and then while swishing it in the air he says, "Bippity, Boppity, Boo!"
As if by magic, the rope trick climbs high into the air before part of it disappears into an invisible space above while the other end just touched the ground.
"So, a few rules about this if you folk wanna use it. There ain't enough room for everybody. But that's okay. Me and Mr. Wedge here? We'll stay down here and keep watch. Not that it'll be really necessary, seeing as how everything is invisible to the outside, but you never two. Two... only gonna last an hour. So, more of a short rest in safety deal."He admits, appearing to just realize a flaw in his spell.
"Once folk 'ave recovered a bit. I say press on. But if after folk are still feeling mighty sore, we can just take is easy here. Sound good? Good~... Oh, and make sure to pull up the rope after the last person goes in to keep things hidden. You folk getting ruminating or roomanating as the case may be while I get working thisalarmtrick." He says as pulled on some string and bells, and start establishing a perimeter.
Nasty folkses, Evrik thinks as they come into alcove. Biggs is offering some sort of "hideaway", surely that's some sort of trick to capture me, he says to himself. Evrik looks around and takes note of a dark corner. He quickly darts off to the darkness and places his back up against a wall. Eyes darting back and forth over the others, he lifts his nose to sniff the air. He can sense the uneasiness of the others and knows they are preparing to attack him.
He shakes his head. What in nine hells is happening to me? he thinks looking at the others. These are the same companions I just helped. They're ok... Nope, I can smell it. Their fear, they're up to something. Why do they keep looking this way? He snarls and bears his teeth a bit as his mouth begins to water. He feels hunger pangs. How can I get one alone? he wonders. He stays in his corner resting. But he watches...

A group of surface goblins was wandering through the tunnels, four of them, plus their leader. As they wandered... one of the goblins faintly heard snoring off in the distance, and informed their leader, Gputph, who was a larger goblin. Their pace slowed, and they began to creep along. 66 the smaller gobbies easily maskign their movement, while the leader keeps accidentally stepping through rocks, kicking them into walls, that make soft 'clacks'
They eventually begin to pass the 'hidden alcove' where Bigz, Chubby, and Evrik are.. it seems they haven't noticed you fully, yet, as luckily the echoing nature of caves makes it hard to determine where any noise is coming from... you all can easily spot the leader, but he seems to be by himself.. his force isnt visible.
Though needless, he motions for silence out of the others before shifting into position to remain out of sight, but if the alcove should be discovered -- or worst yet someone within -- it would be Biggs noticed first and foremost, standing with his face-plate down, and Chip(warhammer) in hand at his side along with Bosco(shield). If all went well he would ready to strike at a moment's notice.
A foul smell fills the air. Evrik's nose twitches. Goblins, he thinks as his body shudders. He curls up tighter in his dark corner, eyes darting from adventurer to adventurer. Extremely alert of the danger from so many directions. Shaking and nervous, he checks the area immediately around him for threats. My things!, he thinks. He quickly takes inventory of his possessions. His eyes, squinting to narrow slots, dart back toward Chubby, then back towards his bag. Is something missing? He looks through his things again and then looks back up. Alert. Waiting.
The Goblins all seem to pass by you. It seems the combination of the location of the alcove and the parties overall silence was enough. They shuffle slowly down the far side talking about how they could have sworn they heard something, and how it must have just been the wind. The danger has passed.
Your short rest finishes without any further issues. Once everyone wakes up or gets up as the case may be, hemeth has recovered.. mostly, and is once again back to normal size. He again begins leading the party through the tunnels that seem to stretch on forever.
20
The tunnels continue to shrink and expand, sometimes you think you're going backwards only for the tunnel to double back on itself. But Hemeth is confident he knows where he's going. After four hours, the tunnel opens up into a small 30 foot cavern and as you enter it, the world goes black.......
Even those with darkvision cannot see at all. And slowly your vision comes back. The tunnel you had all just came in was gone..... however.. there seemed to be hundreds of caves leading every other direction, each hole just barely large enough for chubby to fit through if he crawled, but something felt off about the room.
Evrik kept his distance from the others as the moved through the tunnels. His posture changing a little, his back and shoulders hunching forward. He kept an eye on each of them as they moved. I know these travelers... he strains to think but just as far away thoughts begin to enter his mind, the world goes dark.
No, can't trust them.He looks around and everything has changed. Something is off. Scampering off to the side of the group, he eyes everyone suspiciously. Crouching down, he places his hands on the ground between his knees and raises his nose just a little to sniff the air. Something feels wrong here. The hairs of his mustache tingle a bit. There is tension in this space. He gets the Tentacle Rodready to lash out at the first thing that comes out of one of those holes.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Chubby stops and listens intently (Perception: 7), and hears his stomach growl a little bit, but otherwise tries to see if he can hear anything moving around in any of the myriad of tunnels.
Whispering to the others, Chubby offers up "This place reminds me of a bee hive, or an animal nest of some sort. Worms?"
Just as soon as they were in all the clear, Biggs more than happily wanted to slack off again. Sadly, he is a goblin of his word. Mostly. Wedge could keep watch for the most part while he spent the time recovering his energies and changing out a few spells.
"Oh... this can't be good."Biggs muttered as he kept his warhammer close at hand. Just in case. Once things cleared up again, he had to pause and loft a furry brow at the newfound area. "Well this is certainly curious, C-man. If'n I know better... hmm... Wedge."The Bat-monkey stops its shivering to look down at its master. Then, with a bit of a scowl on his face, the monkey takes off to do a wide circle about the new cavern. Meanwhile, Biggs takes one more look at their bound rat friend just to make sure she was at least still with them before turning his attention on investigating one the tunnels.
He namely aimed for trying to figure out what might've dug so many small ones considering Chubby could hardly fit through them. What... or who..
Investigation: 8 (forgot the advantage from Wedge, but not gonna worry about it)
Finding nothing immediately of note alone, Biggs looks to Hemeth and asks, "You sure this the right way, boyo?"
Immotichey takes note of the change in behavior of the cleric since their encounter with the rats. "Are you sure you are doing well," he calls back to the dwarf trying to keep his distance as they travel through the tunnels. He looks to the others showing clear concern over their companion.
The lizardman holds his breath as all goes dark, but finally exhaling as his vision returns. "Where have you led us, Hemeth." He begins to slowly pace around the cavern looking for some sign of what may be the inhabitants of this cavern. He nods in agreement with Chubby.
Despite everyone's efforts, the room felt unnatural.. but completely real. Bigz almost thought he noticed something odd.. and his buddy seemed to be reacting with confusion.
Eldreth would look around them all before saying: Ach... What'n th' noin 'ell is this shite? OI've never seen a room with hundreds o' tuny tunnels.... and what in blazes 'appened to the hole we came through? Hemeth... What're-ye up tae? Intimidation: 7
Insight: 9
Hemeth laughs at Eldreth saying Tis fine lass! But... I swear, I've never seen this place before... I've never seen such a network O' tunnels.. let alone so many so small... But I know fer a fact I was goin the right way....I've taken this path hundreds o' times... Unless.. the Faezress is shifting..... Quick, someone cast a spell.... a cantrip... anything. We need to test it.
Topsy was groggy, she was tied up, and despite her madness.... she was aware enough to keep playing the part of the 'captured.'
Performance: 19
As Immotichey wanders around, his feet constantly almost slip into holes.. the holes feel colder than the darkside of the moon, giving his feet freezer-burn like sensations if left in too long. No noise is coming from any of the holes, no creatures can be seen.
You feel something that isn't there hit your leg, but like how it is when someone is about to step on a nail, they jerk away before it causes any damage, you manage to pull back. You see nothing.
"Urgh... Very cold," Immotichey grunts a foot almost steps into a hole. As he stands there looking around he suddenly turns when he feels something poking his leg. He swipes out with a clawed hand in the direction it appears the light stabbing came from. "What was that?!"

Seeing that Chubby would take up 92.7% of the space inside the hidden rope dimension, he’ll elect to crash outside, along the wall.
Not 30 seconds after sitting down, he’s out cold. Snoring softly away.
Stealth: 2
...his snoring soon transitions into a rip-roaring chainsaw sound effect. Sorry.
Crispy walks over and gives Chubby a swift kick in the gut. “Quit snoring, you fat bastard! You’re going to wake up the purple worms.”
Itching his belly, he soon rolls over and goes back to sleep.
Stealth: 15
....this time, silent and stealthy as a large boulder sitting there.
Last to know and first to be blamed...
