Rowland moves to follow Leon and Hemeth, "Ah a forge, I've always enjoyed seeing them in action, mind if I join you friends?"

Perception check before I enter Ylsa's for enemies

Mikey is just going to go along with the group to the forge, or to where3verf the majority of characters are going.

    Before Hemeth walks away, he's asked by Leon to show him the way to the forges.  With a smile, Hemeth nods and begins leading him in that direction.  Before he takes more than a couple steps though, Elmo asks Hemeth about Droki.  To which Hemeth replies,

Hemeth - "I've been told that he continues to frequent the Blade Bazaar and has also been seen in Laduguer's Furrow.  That's the large chasm that splits open the earth.  It's our main residential zone.  Searching those areas would likely turn up more information or perhaps even sighting him."

    As he turns to once more lead Leon towards the forges, he's stopped again, this time by Rowland, who asks to tag along.  No doubt to keep an eye on the mysterious box.  Hemeth looks to Leon for his reaction to this request...

To hemeth: “fair enough, gougy  can stay here and Be our sentinel” 

to gougy: “stay here and guard the door, send the Hog signal of there is something afoot.. or ye case ahoof eh! 

He enters with Elmo: 

“ye excited lad! A new crossbow for ya?”

    Elmo's perception check doesn't reveal anything unusual or particularly threatening...

Leon turns to Rowland and Mikey

”This is a private affair gentlemen if you don’t mind. Would you please stay with the rest of the group. I will return shortly or meet you guys back at Hemeth's”

    Hemeth stands there, face unmoving, but eyes glancing at Leon...then at Rowland...then back to Leon...and then whistles...in the most uncomfortable way possible...

To Leon, "Ah I see, well maybe next time friend."

He turns to join the others,  then pauses and speaks to the group, "Of course the package must stay with rest of us. It wouldn't be safe allowing it to travel alone with just one member of the party. Perhaps Grem would volunteer to keep it safe?"

“Grem want to hold the box of madness?”

Gremryl looks watches this encounter betwixt these two human men.. ah to be you young again he thinks. 

That box though. Last time he held it... he shudders at the thought.  But leon is his boy alright. 

Opening his bag of holding and holding it out. 

"Leon, I know how important ye task may be, and far be it for me to stop ye and ye (coughs) swords quest... just drop it into me bag of holding and I'll keep it safe.  Gremryl the Safe! I'll watch out for it and this lot. Come master Blackwell, let's see what's in here. Maybe the Chortle can get a device to travel on that makes him glide and move faster eh?"

Leon places the box still wrapped in a bed sheet into Grem’s bag briefly showing Rowland a corner of the box to confirm it is still in there.

Once the box is in Grem's possession, Rowland gives Leon a smile, "Enjoy your visit to the forge friend," then turning and motioning to Grem and the majority of the group towards Ylsa's "Well gentlemen, we wouldn't want to keep our host waiting."

Rowland enters Ylsa's.

"Yes! Let's see what all this fuss is about Elmo. "

Telepathically to Dawnbringer

"Are you ready for this Dawnbringer? Hemeth says this is the sight to see in the city."

    The group separates with Hemeth leading Leon towards the infamous forges of Gracklstugh and the rest of the party heading into Ylsa's Warehouse.  Elmo enters the building first, closely followed by Mikey, then Gremryl, whose now carrying the mysterious box, and finally Rowland, who keeps a careful watch on Gremryl's bag of holding.  What you all see as you make your first steps into the building is an M.C. Escher-looking facility with boxes of assorted sizes and shapes packed tightly from the floors to the ceiling and staircases going upwards, downwards, sideways and upside-down.  The size of this building from the outside pales in comparison to the space you now see from the inside of the building.  At once, you're not sure if you've been shrunk unknowingly, or if there's some other magic taking place to obscure the actual size of the operations from anyone on the outside.

    Here and there you see what appear to be Derro moving packages here and there, both taking and placing.  It's impossible to track any package through its route due to the twists and turns of the staircases and alcoves.

<What does the party want to do?>

To the Derro moving packages,

"Hello mate, What do ye go by? My name is Elmo light pocket (Elmo put out his hand for a shake).  We are here to see Ylsa Henstak, is she available?"  

Derro - “Don’t give a shit about your name, Halfling. Or why you’re here. Piss off.” he doesn’t even look your way as he walks on by for his next package. 

Gremryl sees the madness: "Moradins chest.. this  be  madness.. Elmo.. these  be some strange  stores lad. Mikey, watch ye self lad. I don't  trust no one in this store lad. You too master blackwell. Be on your toes lads "

perception check to discern a sense of direction to find: 25

    Gremryl senses no clear direction to travel in. Any route looks just as good as the rest of them.
