Before we move out Gremryl will confront Elbutz
"I'll be asking ye once and once only. Where ye be from eh? We find you fighting a monster, with a box that causes madness...ye best be feeling honest lad. My patience be running short. Where were ye to take that box? Answer truthfully now? Ye saw what happened to the last drow that crossed me?"
To Elmo privately, “You say you think we are being tracked? What makes you think that? Do you think this stems from your prison break? Have you made any effort to cover your tracks as you have been traveling? Is that something Glab can do since he is in the rear? If you think someone is tracking us then traveling at this slow of a pace can give them time to catch up to us right? As far as your dagger you might want ask the magic girl. I deal in divine powers.”
Leon approaches Stool.
“Stool great work helping me back there bud. We save Elmo.” (Leon pats Stool on what he believes is his back).
”I got a question for you buddy. Is there some kind of plant life around here we can use to build with. Maybe we can create a way to carry Glab at a faster pace. I don’t know if Glab will just corrode the thing anyway though.”
Elhutz seems very uncomfortable around Gremryl's dominating presence.
Elhutz - "Look here, Dwarf, I get you're big and tough and scary and all that but I really don't owe any of you a damn thing. I'm only here because there's strength in numbers. Especially down here." he says.gruffly. "If you don't want me here, then I'll be gone in the morning...or whatever the hell time it is down here. And about where I'm taking this box? To the highest damn bidder on my way to the surface, that's who. Tell ya what...1,000 gold pieces and you can all have the cursed thing!" he says half-jokingly...but half-seriously.

In his Soldiering Days, he'd broken more than a few noses for such a flippant remark.. but now. Having a headache, feeling the drink from Hemmeth, feeling the fatigue from the days, angry at the madness that has twice now invaded his thoughts.. not good enough.
"Be needing more Elf"
He's going for a single leg take down into an arm bar. He did wrestle in the at Adbar High.
"Aye, I believe that we are being tracked somehow. The drow have zero'ed in on our position more than once lad. Some loose lipped orc who's name I cant remember was hired and fed intel on our were about's, but he escaped before we could question him further. Ive run me theory past the child and lets just say have yet to convince her and her vast amounts of experience. She helped once and found nothing. I doubt she would help a second time. I agree with ye about Glab, they were able to catch up with us last time when he was part of the party. We need to find a way to speed him up. We also need to find out how they are tracking us. Also, the lass used her mage hand many a time to cover our tracks as we traveled. I just cant shake the feeling that we are being followed somehow. More disturbing, I dont know why we are so important to them. I mean, who are we? Why spend the time and resources on us?"
"If you all have eluded their capture for this long maybe you are mighty powerful and could be good gift to the High Priestess IIvara. At least that is who my drow dickheads were taking me too I think. I only heard bits and pieces. Anyway I am going to work with Stool and see if I can figure out a way to move Glab a little quicker. We need to rest though and start heading out soon to stay ahead of whoever is tracking you guys... well I guess us now."
"Where were you taking the Box elf? What was the name of the your buyer eh? Ye be striking me as an elf that does his homework on such things. I'm tired and just had me bell ring by the box ye be carrying. Ye asked us to help you open it. Remember lad? In the middle of the fight? So answer and ye may be keeping ye arm!"
Elhutz struggles against the armbar albeit fruitlessly.
Elhutz - "I told you I don't have a buyer yet! 1,000 gold pieces and it's yours! You guys said you were going to Gracklstugh so I thought I'd tag along for safety and offload it there but I'll be damned if this is NOT a safe group to travel with!" he says, now breathing heavily.
Hemeth, seeing his Dwarf friend now provoking the engagement with the mysterious Rogue, runs over to intervene. Upon closer view, it looks like Gremryl is doing just fine and needs no assistance.
Hemeth - "Careful, Rogue...if you don't play your cards right, you'll be wandering the Underdark alone and with only 1 working arm..." he says in a low, but serious voice.

Leon approaches Grem and Lhutz
"Grem get off of him. I know you are pissed and may not believe him at the moment but I already talked to him and he seemed very truthful. Trust me. I have an insight for these kind of things. Here take this high quality meat snack and relax. I think Elmo said Hemeth gave it to him." Persuasion check 18
"Elf, I am sorry for accusing and questioning you earlier. A lot of crazy shit happened with that box. I believe what you said is true even if it did come off a little dickish. Forgive Grem. His mind was lost to madness along with Elmo's during your piss. I think we all need to move past this and rest for the evening. You keep the box. We were just trying to help you out anyway. Lets just not talk about this and move past it like grown men."
Leon begins to walk back towards Stool to talk with him and rest for the evening.
Gremryl growls.. hungry.. gives the arm a slight tug (hopefully eliciting a welp from the elf).
"Bah.. fine. Mind yeself Elf. I have come a long way in me tolerances thanks to my companions and I wont be allowing untruths, half truths or no truths to be spoken.. be honest and ye be ok.. dont be and well. Find yourself in a dwarven cross switch ey.."
He releases him and goes back to his bed roll while munching on the delicious high quality snack to rest.
Just before releasing Elhutz, Gremryl gives him a slight tug in the pain point he's familiar with from his wrestling days back at Adbar and it does elicit a grimaced welp from the irritated Elf. The group settles into their places for the night. Elmo takes first watch as is usually the case, and for the most part, the group is able to get to sleep well enough.
Point of order: From now on let's just have Glab take all of the watches since he doesn't need to sleep.
To Grem: "Just leave him alone, big fella. He hasn't steered us wrong thus far. And if he acts squirrely in the future, we can always kill him in his sleep and take the damn thing! I'll help!!"
It’s been a long rest and most of you feel refreshed. As you begin to pack your belongings up and get ready for the long day of marching ahead of them, some of you start to take count of your group...and discover that Elhutz is gone!
Gremryl wakes up better in mood. Absently munches on a meat snack. He looks at his companions and shakes his head. What if the madness had really took hold if him. They haven't seen what hes done, choices he's been forced to make. They haven't seen the selfish anger... thank moradin.
Grumbling and mumbling he addresses the group:
"I like to apologize about last night. I let my temper get the best of me, I lost me memories, I lost me cool. Back in me days in the Army they called me slow hand Grems. Because it took alot to upset me. Seems I last night I was more of a fast hand. Know i be true in me meaning about being ye's companion and no one crosses us without a smite or two. But.. I was wrong in over reacting..wait.. wheres the Elf??"
"Oh, ****! Everybody check your gear! (Morgana takes inventory to see if anything is missing). Anybody know how to track? Might want to find out which way he headed out. Anybody have the box? Glab, you don't sleep; did you see what became of the elf?"

There doesn’t appear to be any obvious lock mechanism on the box.

Leon seeing the fight break out casts charm person on Grem. Grem make a wisdom saving throw.
