Leon used the other bodies around them for cover to discreetly tap Astrid on the shoulder and point out the crooked bas-relief to her as she was smaller than them two and could easily weasel herself through the small crowd if she were stealthy enough. They could also possibly make it out with her, if the cultists were paying them any mind, his eyes darting to the closest ones to see if they were paying attention.

Perception: 21

"Maybe with a distraction..." He muttered, trying to keep it low enough for just them two to hear.

((ooc: tells me if i gotsta roll for that daddy crispy))

Danitriel snickered at Lyhril's pat.

Leon and Zeli could keep cover, and have Astrid successfully sneak into the room, yes. You rolled good, boo.

((Ooc: go our friendly neighborhood squirrel go!))

Astrid casually throws the hood of her new death-cult cloak up over her head, and then casually walks over to the wall with the crooked painting.  Hiding behind Leon and Zeli's cloaks, she gently lifts the corner of the painting from the wall and peeks behind it.  If there is a door or passageway, she'll sneak in.

Stealth (assisted via cover from Leon and Zeli): 17

....and, success!

If the suspicions were true and Astrid makes her way inside of the passway, Leon will let Zeli go first and cover for her, and with any opening he sees, he will follow behind the two.

Stealth: 24

FC help 's you enter, slipping in afterward.

So Pheral is making the stealth roll for the group i assume? Can i roll with advantage from them helping ?

Yup, exactly.

GROUP 1 (ZELI, ASTRID, LEON)
ONE HELL OF A SUMMER
THE FINAL CHAPTER 

The room you squirm into appears to be a storage room. A quick glance around reveals ordinary items of low level, and nothing special. Robes, short swords, scimitars..and..wait..what looks like your friends gear!! They must have put it here when they captured the others. Their gear is all here!

Azrael gives Pheral a good, solid pat on the rump, Helping her. You can do this.. this is what you excel at. I believe in you.

Here we go.  27

Nailed it.

GROUP 2 (LYTHRIL, DANI, PHERAL, AZRAEL)
ONE HELL OF A SUMMER
THE FINAL CHAPTER

Watching "Stitches" round the far opposite corner, it disappears out of view as it heads down AREA B and walks down that hallway. You four easily slip out of the mausoleum/prison room and head down the hall in the opposite direction towards AREA D. Just as you are about to round the corner, a familar tiefling rounds the corner first, nearly bumping into all of you.

It's FC.

The man himself, FC walks out with his hands up. "Now, just listen for a sec, would ya. I wouldn't be 'ere if I came to die... I can help. You gotta listen"

Initiative 21

Someone ain't in the mood to talk! Nat20 initiative, go Lythril.

There was a wave of relief the passed over Leon like a wave. They were being kept somewhere in the dungeons, unarmed, but they were here, now all they needed to do was find them. "Take what you guys can, when we find them, they're going to need these." He tells the group as he ruffles through his friends gear, picking up Pheral's hand cross bow and Azrael's quarterstaff (as those two were the most familiar to him to use for himself for the time being).

Soon after picking up some other weapons he could hold, he starts searching around the room.

"This can't be all there is to this room, there has to be another secret entrance in here..." He will also check to see if there any other better weapons in here while he's at it.

Investigation(?): 14

((LMFAO OKAY LEAVE IT TO THE PROFESSIONAL THEN LEON CHRIST))

You get 10 words to explain yourself before i let bahamuts justice enlighten you in the most satisfyingly brutal way possible.

GROUP 1 (ZELI, ASTRID, LEON, FC)
ONE HELL OF A SUMMER
THE FINAL CHAPTER 

Zeli gives you a very concerned look as you start searching around. Her ear perks up. "Shh!" she says urgently, "There's someone outs-"

"What is going on in here?" you hear a regal voice outside. "Get to the main chamber! The ceremony is about to begin! What th-? Why is the door-?" You can hear scurrying of feet from the room you're in. Then, opening the door is the same tiefling Pheral and Lythril fought, the same one who brought you here. "Well, well. What have we here. This room is off limits! What are you doing in here?"

Astrid shyly responds “Sorry sir...I just had to take a leak. I’m just so excited for the ceremony!  One of the other recruits told me to come into here for the refresher.”

Deception: 16
