To Elmo: “Stay away from my stuff little dude! Not joking on that! I like fun and games as much as the next dude, but stealing from a bro is tres dishonorable. But congratulations on your brace choice to embrace who u r. No judgement on your lifestyle.
To hemeth as he follows him out: “hey, bro. I’m happy to tag along for grabbing supplies but I’m totally tapped out. Do u think I could get a bit of a loan from your deep, nobility pockets so I could get some gear!? I’m not much good to your city if I starve to death on the road, right?!”
To Roland: “u think it’s always like this with this group, Bro?! We’ve really gotten ourselves into a gnarly situation this time, right?! Sorry about your dad, bro. Mine is lost down here and I’m worried about him. I know how u feel.”
To Leon: “cool blade, bro! And way to show that thief what dishoner gets a dude! U r all right!”
to grem: “Dude, I’ve never been loose in the big city on my own! It’s like spring break time down here! Any ideas on what a turtle and his bearded new bro might do 4 fun around these parts?!”
“ Great job with the door Leon mate! You truly are one of Tymora’s blessed! It’s why you be me good luck charm ! (Elmo hugs leon) tell me Leon, have you given any thought to what I saw in the vision from the box? Meeting a corrupted dragon seems a wee bit unsafe. I can’t explain it, but I know I’m safe when I’m around ye. Don’t get too excited Ye big gay. (Elmo says is a joking tone) I mean that if I get far away from you I don’t feel safe anymore. Unsafe in a way that makes me shake mate... (Elmo hugs tighter. Like he’s afraid thinking about something). “
Elmo reaches into his pocket to offer Leon a meat, something he does generously with his friends.
“Come on mate! I know ye want to! Ye big gay!” Elmo says desperately trying to impress his “savior”
To Mikey: "Well my shelled friend. One thing ye don't want to be doing is causing too much trouble. I got into a wee bit myself. Almost defeated a goliath i tell ye! it was close as they say. Any hoots, we'll check out the bazaar, and the weapons and armor.. but it looks like you don't be needing that eh (he taps Mikey's shell). Tell me, where is that accent from? Oh, and once we begin our Ale crawl.. thats going to be forge rock my young lad! " He pats the Chortle heartily on the shoulder!
To Leon and Elmo: whats done is done lads, lets focus on the task at hand. Don't forget the evil that lurks! If ye lady has any more insight Leon let us know ya? (he waggles his bushy eyebrows to the sword!)
to the group in general: I have a surprise for all of ye! I have an extra trick up my ol sleeve on tracking this drokalop.. or whatever his blasted name is. A good friend of mine is going to be joining us!
Gremryl comes back to group Happy as a dwarf in a forge:
He motions to the group to come out to the courtyard:
"Lads, remember when i told ye I had a pet. Well back in me day I had a pet, nay, a companion. He went where I went, fought where I fought.. and maybe drank what I drank. Sadly He fell in battle during the Battle of the broken arrow. Me heart hurt...During my trials and travels in the underdark, I almost died like i had told ye before. When Moradin brought me back, he told me I would need companions of old and new. Empowered me with a Rite of sorts he did. He allowed me to bring my companion back!"
He casted Find Steed . He whistles "Gougy! get out here you big beautiful brute! meet the new squad!"
to the group: "he's nice, once you get to know him. But I'd advise not to pet him at first. He finds it demeaning if ye get me drift. He's got a snout that can track better than a kobold trying to steal ye lunch i tell ye!
Stomping in comes:
Razorgouge the Warhog!!
Standing at just over 4ft in hieght, with blazing red fur and bristles. The stout hog weighs in at close to 300 lbs, all muscle, grit, and righteous anger. From its snout he exahales green flames, like twin jets. He rears up and stomps his hooves down, where each stomp little green explosions, as if stomping onto a camp fire, flames erupt.. Two large razor sharp tusks curve out each side of his mouth, ready to gore, impale and seriously hurt anyone in his path. His eyes, emerald green reflect a sharp intelligence and keen sense of surroundings. Razorgouge is no mere Warhog. But an Adbarrian warhog, blessed and brought back by Moradin himself. A champion steed, fit with a saddle for only one rider. Gremryl Stonebreaker.
“Elmo please stop hugging me so I can finish. What is wrong with you? I accept your apology and I apologize for slamming you on the ground.”
Leon stares at Elmo of a few seconds.
”Wait a second... You have been acting awful strange. You comedic timing is completely off on these gay “jokes” if you can call them that and you can’t keep you damn hands off me.”
Remembering what happened to a Grem after the last encounter with the box Leon attempts to cast lesser restoration on Elmo.
Leon grabs his amulet of Tymora and places it on Elmo’s head, “The power of Tymora compels you!!! The power of Tymora compels you!!! Leon finishes the ritual with a small prayer to Tymora.
“Grem aren’t we trying to be a little discreet? No offense but you pig here will cause a lot of attention in the street of a town and people will see us coming from a mile away. I don’t know if we will be able to track down our target as effectively in this urban environment. That being said it’s a fine looking beast. I bet it killed many of orc back in the day.”
to Leon: "Bah! this place has more creatures different races, and slaves, and pets. Trust me lad, Gougy here will be more of a help and a hindrance. Besides, like I said, he's not my pet, but my companion. You want him to leave.. ye tell him ( he grins mischievously) Ye tell him he's not discreet.. "
Now that the group is assembled and ready to depart, Hemeth leads them out the front and through the streets of Gracklstugh's Darklake District. Despite vents dug into the walls and ceiling of the city's great cavern, fumes from smelters and forges linger at ground level. Gracklstugh's glowing forges and smithies operate continuously. Most of the city is dimly lit by a hellish red glow, with patches of darkness here and there. The clanging and clacking of hammers and machinery echoes constantly throughout the city.
After traveling for not much more than about 30 minutes or so, passing by a multitude of various shops and street denizens, they arrive at the Blade Bazaar.
Hemeth - "Ahh. Smell that? That's fine Duergar craftsmanship being made before your very nostrils. We've arrived at the Blade Bazaar. This marketplace is named after the most abundant goods the Duergar offer, but the shops here sell almost everything available in the city, along with stalls set up by visiting merchants."
The din of people arguing, mostly in Dwarvish, nearly drowns out the hammering coming from the city's forges, and the crowds here look easy to slip into unnoticed.
Hemeth - "If you have things you won't need, this would be a fine place to sell them. I'll see what I can dig up from my agents about this Droki fella. When you're finished, meet back here in about 1 hour."
(You have an opportunity to buy and sell equipment and supplies for the rest of your journey. Prices will be standard PHB prices. Nonmagical weapons, armor and shields can be purchased here along with the usual adventuring supplies you'd find in any other city.)

Gremry wanders in with gougy next to him, he feeds him some meat snacks "C'mon gougy, lets sell this shield i have" ( he sells his old shield)
to Hemeth he holds out stella, his other worn morning star: "What do you think brother? sell it or make it a historical relic eh! many an enemy received a blessing by its spikes, mayhap I can add this one to me knew shield? " He waggles his eyebrows up and down.
"ye planning to sell that armor lad? bulking up i see! Aye, you'll be the toughest cleric with the best beard in these parts my lad! here (he hands a meat snack to him) feed gougy here. Show him, you meant no ill will when you told him to go home. (he smiles a big toothy grin. In a nice way though. )
“I never told him to go home pops” Leon feeds the treat to Gougy. “I simply said he wasn’t discreet for a mission that seemed slightly stealthy or Reconnaissance based. I even complemented your friend here as well. I meant no Ill will my stout brother.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
To Damon, without missing a beat because he didn't see anything weird about it tells him:
"Of course Elmo is fond of meats! He's a meat snacking sneak of a rogue! One of the gayest ones I have met. He's a good lad, and indeed. He has saved my life on multple occasions and I his. He meant well, but sometimes old habit die hard eh! Any hoot, ol'Gougy here can handle himself. I saw him once gore 3 orcs on each tusk in a single charge! I've road him into battle, and its funner than a brothel in waterdeep! ( he winks!) Where's Mikey at? That chortle seems to have fallen out of nowhere and landed in out land eh! Lets find a stall to get an Ale as we walk!"
As he says this he will do a perception check for danger, and anyone tailing them.
Perception: 17

Leon goes to Elmo’s room and begins to repair the door Grem kicked in with mending until it is time to leave.

What say you Gougy?

"He will earn his keep dont ye doubt. Now let's check these breasplates out. "
"Impressive animal my friend, I'm sure he'll make a fine addition to our assembly."
He leans closer to Grem and whispers, "Just keep an eye on the little one. He seems rather fond of meats!"
