Out Of The Abyss

    Yuk Yuk - "Lemme see da map."  Taking the map once offered to him, the Goblin inspects it carefully.  "Close we's are."  Then hands the map back to the group (whoever's carrying it) and continues moving forward.

    You reach a larger opening of the tunnel when a soft feminine voice sounds out in your mind suddenly, faint and distant:

    Soft feminine voice -  "Hello?  Is someone there...?  Oh please, I need your help!  I have been trapped in the dark for so long...so very long.  Please, won't you help to free me?"

Do you follow the voice?  

“Yuk yuk and Spiderbait, did you guys here that voice too? If not what direction is the temple exactly?”

If Leon can follow the voice he attempts to determines what direction it is coming from.

Does my divine sense detect any extra extra evil?

I’ll communicate telepathically with the voice.

”help you?  But of course!!  But I’ll need lots of information if I am 2 effectively render aid.  Who r u?  Where r u?  What sort of aid do u require?  What do u have to offer in return for r aid?”

    Yuk Yuk and Spiderbait both look at you and shrug their shoulders as if they've heard nothing.  Gremryl, using his Divine Sense, detects an evil presence somewhere in the area...

    Morgana hears no reply...

    Leon follows the voice where he hears it coming from and the group follows him down a narrow side passage that takes them to a dirty marble wall with a deep-set door made of bronze-encased stone, green with age.

What does the group do?

“Me dwarven whiskers be pringlin with an evil sense... there’s something evil about... be careful lad.. can ye detect any magic? “ 

i cast shield of faith on myself and move of toward the front. 

Leon cast bless on the group. Leon invokes his duplicity and has it stand side by side with Grem. 

“Check it out you beautiful bearded bastard. Tymora and I got your back.”

Leon casts guidance on Grem.

    Our brave adventurers stand in front of the door.  Prepared for whatever lies beyond it.  Seconds pass by...more seconds pass by...Spiderbait and Yuk Yuk finally say,

Web Runners - "Gonna opens the door or stare it down?" They say in unison.

Gremryl tells morgana "prepare ye spells lass..."

Gremryl walks up and taps the door with his mace 

"Aye, anyone here? I've be having a cleric of Tymora wanting to speak to ye? Extending the word eh! "

I'll grab the door and try open it...

To stool:  “put out your friendship spores, little buddy.”

to grem:  “I’m confused.  If something evil comes out of there and tries to murder us, what should I b doing?  Cause u said earlier that we shouldn’t b killing things that want us dead, so should I hug it...feed it, or what?”

Gremryl shakes his head...(tiefling teens)

 "Lass, chances be what's behind these doors is evil. And be trying to murder us... not just be a pain in thee arse.. ye likely be knowing the difference but be choosing the ignore it.. just be ready lass.. moradinds heartburn.." 

Like an exasperated uncle...

    The door opens with some effort.  While the room is completely void of light, those with Darkvision can see into the room a stone diorama to the right, depicting what appears to be a sorcerer, surrounded by attendants, slaves and other trappings of wealth and power.  A vista of fantastic floating cities covers the wall to the left of the entrance.  Across from the entrance, empty stone torch sconces flank a dusty staircase descending into the floor.  This is all you can see from standing outside of the tomb's entrance.

To Grem as she stamps her foot impetuously:  “That last goblin wasn’t trying to murder us?  Hypocrite!”  

To Leon:  “send your duplicate down the stairs?  C if any harm comes 2 it?”

"Keep it down lass! We should check for traps... ye mage hand maybe?

How you myster cleric? Anyting?"

I’ll send my mage hand down the stairs.  It'll press on the ground to check for pressure plates and trip wires.  

Leon looks at Morgana and shakes his head as he sends his duplicity forward down the stair wither the mage hand.

    Morgana's Mage Hand finds no traps located on the floor between Morgana and the descending staircase.  Leon's duplicity walks towards the staircase and begins walking down.

    Morgana's Mage Hand stops at 30ft from Morgana's position.  Just at the first couple steps of the descending staircase.

    Leon's Duplicity continues down the stairs about 10 steps or so and disappears from sight.

DM Note - From the entrance (door) to the staircase, it's about 30ft.  If you're still standing outside the door, you don't see much else of interest.

Gremryl sniffs the air....

"Well, we can't be standing around all day waiting for the treasure to find us eh! Lets be off then, I'll go first, then Morgana, then master cleric, bring stool wait.."

He turns to the brothers "Got some questions... ya'll be with us i assume since ye be wanting payment right? and where did Gogo run off to?? I be hoping nothing happended..."

He fixes them with a stern look.. not menacing.. yet. 

Yuk Yuk - "Ya's go ahead.  We's be after ya's."  He says with a bow and hand gestures towards the tomb's entrance.

Spiderbait - "After ya's" As he mimic's his brother's gesture.
