Elmo fades into the cavern's dusty air and sneaks up behind the Drow Scout pissing in the corner of the cave as only a Halfling Rogue could. As he gets closer, he overhears the Drow Scout muttering to himself...
Drow Scout - "****in' scouting duty. Why am I always on the damn scouting duty...aggghh." He says as he continues to relieve himself, and completely unaware of Elmo's presence.
Elmo is close enough to reach out and begin searching the Drow Scout's pockets for anything of value. For a visual aid, Elmo stands about half the height of the Drow so his face isn't much farther from the Drow's ass than half an arm's length or so.
Drow Scout - "Ahhhhhh, there ain't nothing like a good piss. 'Cept maybe a nice butthole rip!"
Elmo knows exactly what's coming but is unable to do anything besides brace himself for what's to come.
Drow Scout - *Unimaginably loud and entirely too wet, air passing through shit noise*
Elmo half gag's then inaudibly vomits just a tiny bit in his mouth, and finally finds something to grab from the Drow Scout's pocket. Backing away with his face likely a greenish-hue, he returns to the group to decide on how to best proceed. Opening the missive that he pick-pocketed and showing it to the group, it reads:
Congratulations! You've been selected randomly to participate in the Prisoner Escape Search Party. You'll accompany your group at first meal and be led by Shoor. Bring back the prisoners alive. Or don't come back. You'll meet up with the Orc Raiding party. Use discretion with them at all times. They're prone to unpredictable behavior as their Orcish kind tend to be.
"Well...it goes without saying that we need to butcher that darkie in the most slow and painful way possible. I'd like to go charm his ass and then we can have r way with him!!"
Elmo returns with the note looking quite dismayed.
In all me years I never imagined that an elf's arse hole lose enough to pass wind, let alone enough to give Ol' Elmo a bit of the pink eye.
(elmo takes out the note and hands it to the party)
I dont like how often Elmo is having to shower feces off of himself (he says as he uses his cloak to wipe his face). Showering takes away from me natural musk, which has been known to send ladies of all the worlds many races into fits of vapors. But onto the business at hand lads.
(Elmo points to a spot in the note)
Why do ye think they are spending so much effort in recapturing some lost prisoners? I mean, who the hell are we mate? Why do they need us alive so bad?
Sending scouts this far after us doesn't make much sense mates. What do ye make of it?
Elmo uses canteen water to continue to clean his face
(Under his breath) I can still taste it a wee bit...
“I don’t be knowing lad, but this note is saying there’s more Drow and blasted Orcs about.. can’t be letting this one live. By moradins rage, he needs.. to be taken out..”
"I think the answer to your riddle is simple, Elmo. There was a power struggle amongst the drow in the camp that we escaped. Whichever side is responsible for our escape needs to recapture us in order to save face. We represent a black eye to the powers that be, which is why we are being so zealously hunted."
To Grem in a whisper: "Shut the **** up about raiding parties in Stool's village! His soft heart doesn't need those thoughts weighing him down!"
Bobby: What would I have to do to get line of sight on this drow? Stealth check? Just peek around the corner? Maybe get up high and glide around the corner noiselessly and charm him before he knows I'm even there?...
Elmo sneaks up behind the drow silently. He notes that the demon lass's ring fits nicely. Perhaps she was changing. The girl he met would see such an act of trust as weakness.
"Here goes nothing. Hopefully you'll be the one covered in shite soon ya drow arse jester..." elmo mutters under his breath as he casts charm on the drow.
Morgana hands over her [Tooltip Not Found] (Ring of Spell Storing) to Elmo for the one time purpose of casting the Charm spell that's been stored in it, upon the Drow Scout. Using stealth to once again get into position, Elmo points to ring at the Drow Scout and whispers [Tooltip Not Found]!
Watching carefully, Elmo sees the Drow Scout look slightly confused for a second, then look around, but doesn't notice the Halfling. Elmo is pretty sure the spell has successfully taken effect.
Elmo Whisper over to the drow scout, "Pst! Boyo! over here friend! I got some delicious pocket meats id love to share with ye!" If he comes over to me, Ill lead him to the party. When they grab him and gag him, I can "rip butt hole" all over his face as we interrogate.
We aren't gonna just truss him up cause he might fight back. You need to talk to him and get him to tie himself up or to let you do it, at which point we can have r way with him. Also, introduce us and tell him that we are all a part of the same team.
To Elmo: "Give me my ring back, this instant! You are making it smell like farts and bad ideas!"
The drow gaurd walks over to Elmo expecting a pocket meat, "I left the meats in me pack. Mind walking with me a short distance?" (Elmo approaches the group with the guard) "Hey mate, since we are such good friends, Id like to introduce ye to my good friends." Elmo walks the drow guard over to Grem, Morg, and the others. "Hey mates! Look who I ran into! Our old friend, Sir DrowGuardington!" "Mr Drow Gaurd, you remeber your freinds (Elmo motions to Morg) Grab him, and (motions to Grem) Grab him right now? Down you?" As soon as the assault starts I would like to make a slight of hand check to see how fast I can get my under pants into his mouth as Grem and Hemeth subdue.
Ok, if that's how elmo wants to play this...I'll use my mage hand to take one end of my rope while I take the other and wrap it around the drow's body, pinning his arms to his sides.
As he’s come about Gremryl will attempt to do a half Nelson on him and tell Hemmeth
“Lets grab our good ol ‘friend’ here... make sure he's comfy ey lad... “ There is no playfulness in Grem's eyes.. "lets see what he's about"..

Gonna assume either rolls work. If so, Gremryl will choke this drow just to get him down, so we can tie him up. He gave his ropesilk to Hemmeth prior to, so we can tie him up. Also, cast Detect Magic to ensure we remove any magical/tracking items he may have..
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ok, with the drow subdued I'll do the following. I'll start by gagging him with rope or some spare cloth or whatever. I'll then dispatch stool to the tunnel leading to the cave where the drow was peeing. His orders are to hunker down and look like a nonsentient fungus and telepathically give us the high sign if anybody else is coming (also to make sure that his fragile little mind isn't subjeceted to what's coming next). I'll also put Hemeth on a job. He will be responsible for specifically watching the hands and feet of the drow to make sure that no escape attempt is going down. Then, I'm gonna get low down into his face so that he can see the smoldering malice in my eyes. I'll then reach out to take his ear in my hand and cast flame bolt on it to flash fry it. Next, i'll tear the charred ear off of his head and slowly put it into my mouth and begin to chew. I'll then growl to Elmo while still staring at the drow and say "MMMMmmm...you've truly outdone yourself on the meat snacks this time around, little buddy...."
To the drow I will growl out the following: "Before we get started, let's be clear: this is the last day of your miserable existence. You will NOT survive this encounter. All that remains to negotiate is how you spend what remains of your time on this plane. I snacked on your ear because I was hungry. You can only imagine what I'll do when I want to hurt you out of anger. My cabal and I will be asking you a series of questions. If you speak in more than a whisper, make any attempt at escape, or lie to us in any way, I intend to introduce you to all the delights that I have experienced in the pits where my kind are spawned. Furthermore, I'll know damn well if you are lying because my friend here just cast a psychic spell (Lying about the detect magic spell that Grem cast) that allows us to tell if you are being deceitful (deception check= 19). I'll then ask the following questions of the drow after loosening the gag so it can answer:
1. What are you doing out in this part of the underdark?
2. Are there anymore in your party. If so, what does the party consist of, where are they, what is their mission.
3. What intel do you have regarding demons in the underdark and the overall plans of the drow hierarchy.
The Drow Scout, hears Elmo calling out and recognizes him as a friend. Raising his hand to signal acknowledgment, The Drow Scout walks over to Elmo, whose beckoning him over. Before the Drow can react, Gremryl puts the Drow Scout into a half-Nelson and then finds himself bound and gagged, surrounded by the escaped prisoners, and the Charm effect is now superseded by intense anger at being duped by his 'friend', the Halfling. He looks around carefully for any and all details that he can take count of, including your numbers, and your strengths.
Gremryl casts Detect Magic and notices the presence of magic emanating from the Drow's head by the faint magic aura he can see now. Gremryl is sure it's from the Evocation school of magic!
After Morgana begins to torture the Drow Scout, it's abundantly clear to all that this Drow has never experienced such excruciating pain. While Morgana isn't on her "A-game" at recognizing deceit, there's no doubt she's instilled the fear of pain deep within this Drow's psyche.
Drow Scout - Wincing in pain and horror in his eyes after watching Morgana fry then relish chewing his ear, he attempts to respond to the questions being asked of him. "I...I-I'm here to find you all...My masters wa-wa-want you b-b-back..." The blood rushing from the hole where his ear was once attached seems to be taking an effect on him. "Th-there are...m-m-more of us...a-and O-o-o-orcs, too!" Looking a little woozy he stammers on and says, "W-w-were to bring you b-b-back to Vel-k-k-k-ynvelve at o-o-once." About to pass out, he mutters, "D-d-emons I know n-n-nuthin' about! I s-s-swear it!"
"Well...it goes without saying that we need to butcher that darkie in the most slow and painful way possible. I'd like to go charm his ass and then we can have r way with him!!"
Gremryl tightens his grip on Benny,
to Morgana he says: “Aye, charm him so he smiles as Benny crushes his skull..”
to hemmeth: “ ye be hearing about these Orc raiding parties? We be nearing Stools village and I’ll be damned if we be letting them get raided..”
All the mirth and good humor is gone from Gremryls face.
Elmo returns with the note looking quite dismayed.
Elmo uses canteen water to continue to clean his face
“I don’t be knowing lad, but this note is saying there’s more Drow and blasted Orcs about.. can’t be letting this one live. By moradins rage, he needs.. to be taken out..”

Pat - (You can try to stealth (check) and peek around the corner to gain line of sight on the Drow Scout if you wish)
I would like to do the stealth check and charm him.

"Here goes nothing. Hopefully you'll be the one covered in shite soon ya drow arse jester..." elmo mutters under his breath as he casts charm on the drow.
I'll have stool put out his psychic spores and then communicate with Elmo: "QUIETLY get both your asses back here!"
Elmo Whisper over to the drow scout, "Pst! Boyo! over here friend! I got some delicious pocket meats id love to share with ye!" If he comes over to me, Ill lead him to the party. When they grab him and gag him, I can "rip butt hole" all over his face as we interrogate.

To Elmo: "Give me my ring back, this instant! You are making it smell like farts and bad ideas!"
Gremryl takes the rope out and says
”so we tying him up? In me gut busting days, we dabbled in ‘persuasive “ techniques... “
cracking his knuckles. Also I use an action to light Benny and casting an Erie green glow.
The drow gaurd walks over to Elmo expecting a pocket meat, "I left the meats in me pack. Mind walking with me a short distance?" (Elmo approaches the group with the guard) "Hey mate, since we are such good friends, Id like to introduce ye to my good friends." Elmo walks the drow guard over to Grem, Morg, and the others.
