Here be Dragones! A full Tyranny of Dragons Play-Through (Game Thread)

(OOC: Neega knows she is not stealthy, so for this excursion she would probably take up the rear-guard position.)

(OoC-Cass is second in the marching order)

(OOC: Fuzzpaw is in third)

JoJo was rear guard on the way in, but can be wherever the group feels he fits in best.

(OOC:  So it sounds like the marching order is: JoJo, Cass, Fuzzpaw, Neega)

As you go through the unused tunnel, you hear the scrabbling of many rodents

JoJo walks quickly through the tunnel, avoiding the cobwebs and crawling rodents.

When JoJo gets to the locked gate he scans the outside, then steps aside for Cass to unlock, whispering, are you locking it when we depart or leave it unlocked?

Perception 20

Jojo feels the cold feet of rats crawling over his feet, but the rodents don’t seem hostile. He also hears muffled chatter of tough voices outside passing by; they just happen to be in the area and aren’t aware of the tunnel

JoJo lets Cass know through hand signals (or simple pantomime or low whisper) the people outside the tunnel.

Neega listens to the voices trying to determine how far they are and if the voices seem to be standing still or moving toward/away from the party in the tunnel entrance.

Perception: 11 

Cass pauses at JoJo’s warning and raises a hand, signaling the group to remain still rather than immediately reaching for the lock. He listens carefully to the muffled voices beyond the gate while selecting the proper key from the ring in his hand.

He waits, giving Neega time to judge the distance and movement of the voices before answering JoJo’s question. “If this passage remains undiscovered, I intend to lock it behind us, but I would prefer not to announce our presence by opening the gate into the middle of a conversation.”

JoJo nods agreement to Cass, then turns and looks to Fuzzpaw and gives him a thumbs up to show he is doing a good job so far.
