"Ha! Well then! You sly duergar you! I must say though, these derro have so sense of respect or hospitality Hem. I made one piss his pants at yslas when he was being quite a snot lad. That's why I almost pummeled Leon there (he says that loudly enough to be heard by leon) when he insulted me as a derro.. moradins beard my blood pressure lad! I'm over here worried about you and you insult me... "
Back to hemeth: "we left the drow the be interrogated there, she said she would send word when she had answers for us. Their interrogator was the same barbarian I battled at the gates! Dam giant! He got lucky though a I had him where I wanted him when the guards... " his voice trails off as he mentally recounts that instance.
"Any hoot lad.. so this slow spout! Looking forward to ot!"
Hemeth - "The Derro are madly insane creatures. Ylsa is the only one I've ever heard of to enlist, let alone trust them as a work force. She's some kinda special thing that one. But don't turn your back on them for second! Crafty critters they are. Invented the repeating crossbow from what I hear."
Taking a seat at the head of the table, he once more beckons you all to sit.
To leon "what's that Leon? Ye said something lad? "
As he taked a sip of the Ale. "Ahh... now this is a fine Ale Hemeth, I feel me wounds mending from the hurtful words master leon hurled at me in his derro disguise. "
Hemeth's mug is half-full. Noticing this, he remedies the problem by taking a deep drink and finishing it in one go. An attendee comes to refill his mug with the same expeditiousness as before.
Hemeth - "We've learned about your Drow pursuers and who commands them. It's House Mizzrym and we all should have suspected as much, given your escape from one of their outposts, Velkynvelve. Unfortunately, we have limited knowledge of their House's grand designs. There are rumors that perhaps the Demon Lords entering this realm were able to do so because of something the Drow are responsible for." He takes another deep swig of his mug. "The two you captured, you were wise to return to Ylsa. And the one you speak of Grem...you could never have bested him in one-on-one combat. At least not yet. He'll kill them. But not before they give up whatever intelligence they have. Droki on the other hand, where did you say you saw him, Leon?" he asks.
“I saw him as I exited a rear exit of the forge and followed him to a house I marked on my map. He entered this residence and did not leave for quite some time.”
Hemeth reaches for the map that Leon offers him. Inspecting it closely he hands the map back to Leon.
Hemeth - "The West Cleft District is home to many of our Derro residents. This location is likely a hidden entrance to somewhere much deeper in the rock and belongs to someone he works for. I would exercise great caution entering that place. It could be riddled with traps and magic. Excellent work, I must say!" he smiles broadly then takes another deep drink.
“Repeating crossbow ye say? Think I could make duegars spite (Elmo show the weapon) here a repeater? Ye done so much for me already, if ye could just point the way. I’d be happy to seduce Ylsa for it mate (Elmo laughs and elbows hem).”
Hemeth - "Doubtful, Elmo...on both your aspirations for an improvement to that death-dealer of yours, or to impress the lady with your Halfling half-bits. Welcome to try though, friend." he laughs deeply.
Hemeth - "Tomorrow you execute phase 2 of the operation. Gremryl and Mikey will be contests for the festival competition as a cover for the rest of you to slip into Themberchaud's lair and make audience with him to deliver a request for aid. Without his help, our goals may be impossible to achieve. You must do whatever it takes to secure his favor. Does anybody have any questions? If not, then I'll bid you goodnight and prepare well for tomorrow." he waits for questions before taking his leave.
"Aye, I know me part and this chortle doesnt talk to much but I assume hes good from the scuffle we were in. As for the barbarian...(he looks into his mug and sips..) "
To leon: " what was it that made ye insult us lad? Ye could of dropped the disguise and yet he threw some barbs at us?
“Simply playing the part my old man. I was being watched when I left the forge the first time. I assume this house is under watch. I was trying to be discreet. You know like not walking the streets with a giant pig that yells here we are. By the way where is that pig? Anyway, I didn’t want to make a scene but you blocked my path and wouldn’t let me into the house. I kept up my act so at least they would think there was still one of us out there or I was still in the forge.”
(DM Note - Since you both are going to stealth, there won't be an advantage to Elmo's stealth roll. Only one of you would need to investigate, so advantage will be given to Elmo's roll. Elmo's Stealth roll is going to be a 17 and Investigation roll is going to be a 24. Rowland's Stealth roll is going to be a 13.)
Hemeth - "Do as you please. Good luck to the both of you. As for the rest of ya, I bid you good night and we'll meet back here in the morning for breakfast." he gets up to leave.
(I'll start a separate thread for Elmo and Rowland. The rest of you Long Rest and refresh your character sheets.)

Leon whispers to himself
”Yeah you almost pummeled me with 3 other people while my back was turned...sounds really fair paladin of Moradin.”
To leon "what's that Leon? Ye said something lad? "
As he taked a sip of the Ale. "Ahh... now this is a fine Ale Hemeth, I feel me wounds mending from the hurtful words master leon hurled at me in his derro disguise. "
“I said “Yeah, you would have almost pummeled me with three other people while my back was turn. Seems like that would have been real fair.”
“I saw him as I exited a rear exit of the forge and followed him to a house I marked on my map. He entered this residence and did not leave for quite some time.”
Leon gives his map to Hemeth
“Repeating crossbow ye say? Think I could make duegars spite (Elmo show the weapon) here a repeater? Ye done so much for me already, if ye could just point the way. I’d be happy to seduce Ylsa for it mate (Elmo laughs and elbows hem).”
Rowland quietly samples several ales enjoying the fact that the group is not being insulted by derro, but wondering what the **** is in that box.
Gremryl chuckles when hemeth says "halfing bits"
"Aye, I know me part and this chortle doesnt talk to much but I assume hes good from the scuffle we were in. As for the barbarian...(he looks into his mug and sips..) "

To Grem:

“Rowland and I would like to spend a few hours tonight scouting out the dastardly Drokis suspected location. We’ll be back by morning.”

Rowland joins Elmo on the stealth mission.
