Once we do the short rest "well lads when ye ready, should I go first since I be seeing them sneaky bastards with me gem? Or elmo then I? No offense master Rowland but I rather take the hits on me shield then on ye armor. "
Leon see Mikey and Grem eying the door the Duergar was running to
”Again Pops and Mikey, I do believe that door leads to the room the demon came out of last time we were here. Please be careful when you enter... That does appear what you want to do correct?”
”We could go back the way we came originally when we’re down here. I recall us finding a map to other locations previously. But we could see what’s going on with the demon as well. Seem dangerous though.”
Leon telepathically to Dawnbringer
”Do you sense the great evil demon behind this door my Light?”
This response to the group occurs after Dawnbringer’s response to Leon.
”Gentleman I have been tracking our progress through these tunnels here in attempting to map it out the best I can. That along with the map we received a little while back in these tunnels from the corpse of I don’t remember if it was an enemy or a fellow explore of these tunnels that had met his untimely end, I believe I have a fairly good idea of where we are in these tunnels.”
Leon pulls out the map he has been making of the tunnels and pulls out the map they were covered from the corpse.
Leon points to the bottom left corner of the map.
”I believe this to be the general area of where we came in to the tunnels.”
Leon point to the left x on the map.
”from what I can tell we have not gone to this area here and the map from the corpse indicates there’s a treasure here.”
Leon points to the X in the middle of the map.
”this is the general area where I believe we are now. We have searched and checked this room indicated on the map recently from what I can discern.”
Leon points to the X on the map in the top right corner.
”this area here I do not we believe we have explored it all and the map from the corpse indicates there’s another treasure here. Who knows this could be where the obelisk we seekers or even the gray ghost lair.”
Leon leaves the map out for the group to look at.
”from my memory through that door that Mikey and Grem are eyeballing right now, that is where we last saw the demon come out of the water pool. There are also a pathway or two in there that lead deeper into the tunnels and possibly could get us a different route to the treasures and locations we seek. I believe we should make a plan prior to any future decisions we make.”
"My vote is to head back and explore the X there on the left. It's away from the demon door and and near that large gate which looks like something we should investigate."
"Sounds plans given the circumstances lads. Best we move quickly and strike while the forge burns its brightest... your cartography skills are exceptional Leon! "
"Yes well done friend, this is extremely helpful. Let's head out, I'll follow if you wish to use the gem, otherwise I could lead a short ways ahead in darkness as earlier in a stealthy fashion."
Rowland will head out just far enough to keep in darkness but within earshot if he finds trouble. Intention is to head back the way they came towards the X on the left side of the map keeping stealthy and taking his time to be alert for any ambush or signs of tracks. If he encounters nothing new, he'll pause to wait for the others before entering the spider and snake infested zone.
The group moves through the door and travels deeper into the tunnels, as indicated by the map, towards the place marked with a red "X" on their map. Rowland leads the way, moving as quietly as he can in the cover of shadows and dimly light areas. Pausing occasionally to consult their location with the map, they are close to their destination. Before arriving, Rowland hears something up ahead!
Rowland sneaks up towards the sound to get a look...What Rowland sees is a creature having a barrel-shaped body with trilateral radial symmetry; three arms, legs, and eyes spaced around its torso. The mouth is oddly located at the top of the body. It appears to be eating something metallic. It stops chewing..
It turns around and its eye gazes at Rowland!
Monster - "You...have...coins...and gems! GIVE THEM TO ME!"
Rowland nods, "That's a deal friend."

History check to see if Mikey remembers if they passed through that southern door before: 10
To Leon: "I'm not afraid to walk through any damn door! But do we have a choice? Are there other options on where to go?"
Mikey recalls that they have been through that door before and there were many tunnels they haven’t been through yet.

"I only have one use left. I'll leave it to you master Rowland and your skillful way to keep us on our toes. I'll follow your lead. "
"Very well, I'll head out first. "
Rowland will head out just far enough to keep in darkness but within earshot if he finds trouble.

Perception check: 18
Plus 1 to Rowland’s roll with Guidance
”Tymora be with you Rowland”
(DM note - this was excellent RP. I’ll resolve your path towards that location)

Rowland will quietly retreat to the others and describe what he heard up ahead.
"Sounds like there is movement up ahead friends. Shall we try and get the jump on whatever is?"
"Ah yes gems and coin, please don't hurt me, I'll give you everything I have!" Rowland says loudly hoping the others can hear him.
