Searching around the pool, and steering clear of the swirling vortex in the middle of the pool, noticing that it leads into a deep underground tunnel with an incredibly strong current, Mikey sees a glint of something that catches his eye. Swimming down to retrieve it, he finds
"Sorry, dude, no pants! But I couldn't see shit down there. Anybody else that wants to check it out can feel free to do so. We could rig up a safety line to anchor anybody else that wants to check. We could send people down with empty water skins to breath with if needs be..."
Gremryl shakes his head "mi armor be rusting in that type of water mikey... i be keeping an eye on master droki here"
He looks at droki "you'll be answering for ye crimes. In me former days I'd turn you in alive, if not further beat down. But I be trying to lead a better life by moradins will. But make no mistake. Try to pull any shenanigans and you'll be the meeting the business of me shield here eh."
"Mikey assist me in searching underwater. I could use somebody who is no stranger to water helping me. I think a good theives eye is just what is needed." Elmo gets undressed to his under garments. "This should feel nice." Elmo enters the water again with Mikey.
Gremryl says to elmo: "Oh fine sure, I'll watch the droki... don't mind him. ye drop your pants quick to jump in that water. Dam halfings he mutters. Always leaving the dwarf to do the guarding. back in me day, I was a certified dwarven diver ye know! Had a badge! What about you master Droki? ye do alot of swimming? eh? "
at Leon : "Nah me boy, no dipping necessary. this armor is one of those 'put on in the morning, and not till ye done for they day' type of suits.' ye don't be needing to see this dwarf in his majestic birthsuit of armor.. Go on boy take a dip, you haven't eaten in the last hour right? thats how ye be cramping up. maybe ye find some hidden treasure down there with elmo. don't let him swim to deep. He may be gay, but not sure about his swimming skills. "
Gremryl nudges the droki - "See thats a fine lad. HIs morale compass is a bit skewed but still points north.. unlike you. But we will find out what be happening with you yet."
To leon: "I'm sorry you never knew your real Pa too well. I'm proud ye be looking to me like that. I look at you like a son I do. A son with a great beard and battle prowess, and more than a wee bit of luck eh! When this is all done, ye be meeting my family ye will. Mayhap you can come visit adbarr. I haven't been there since my family disappeared. would be nice to show you your kin eh! How are things with ye sword? She seems to be burning brighter eh! "
Looking at droki and seeing his insanity, before he dives underwater, he addresses Grem and the others,
"Im not the threatening type. Ye seem to be a master at interrogation. Ye learned that skill recently. I think ye (Grem), Rowland, and Leon can get some intel from this sack of crap before we take him to justice."
To Leon "Quick grab the meats from his pocket and replace it with the broken tentacle there! it will be loads of fun! Give me the snacks and we will stuff the droki's pockets with them..."
“I can’t wait to meet your family. I will do whatever I can to bring them back home. Sounds like a grand way to serve the light. You have Dawnbringer and I as long as you need us.”
Leon pauses for a moment
”Dawnbringer is a great lady. I fear I messed up stuff between us a while back at Hemeth’s mansion. Been trying to make up for it for a while now. Haven’t really had a chance to sit down with Dawn and catch up since we have been hunting Droki. Any tips for winning a woman’s heart pops?”
Gremryl looks wistful "Thanks lad, means alot to me old heart. As for the Lass, everything has its path as my old Pa said. You can't force the fire to ye creation lad, you must work with the fire, be one with the forge. Do that and ye will never go wrong. plus a big whetstone will help too.. heard swords love whetstones!"
“This sword is made of pure light. Maybe a little harder than your are saying but sometimes the hardest things are worth fighting for. I appreciate the advice.”
Leon looks out at the water.
”You think Elmo will ever find a man like that for him?”
“Times... they are a changing. Don’t worry. Your old eyes don’t see as well as they use too. Never mind pops. Let’s get this Droki back to the captain once the boys are done swimming.”

Searching around the pool, and steering clear of the swirling vortex in the middle of the pool, noticing that it leads into a deep underground tunnel with an incredibly strong current, Mikey sees a glint of something that catches his eye. Swimming down to retrieve it, he finds
(1) Potion of Healing
(1) Sack of Coins (25gp)
When Mikey surfaces he'll shout, "Hey Tortle, see any pants down there?"
"Sorry, dude, no pants! But I couldn't see shit down there. Anybody else that wants to check it out can feel free to do so. We could rig up a safety line to anchor anybody else that wants to check. We could send people down with empty water skins to breath with if needs be..."

Leon walks over to Grem
“Pops your age is showing. Don’t get all grumpy. I will watch the Derro. Go for a dip if you want.”
at Leon : "Nah me boy, no dipping necessary. this armor is one of those 'put on in the morning, and not till ye done for they day' type of suits.' ye don't be needing to see this dwarf in his majestic birthsuit of armor..

“I would rather spend sometime here with you old man. I never really got to know mine. Feel like your fine replacement though.”

He looks at leon quizzically "a man? Bah! He needs a good dwarven lass to tie down that halfing rapscallion. Why would he need a man? Strange... "
“Times... they are a changing. Don’t worry. Your old eyes don’t see as well as they use too. Never mind pops. Let’s get this Droki back to the captain once the boys are done swimming.”
Rowland quietly observes the strange and somewhat personal conversation while casting cure wounds on himself.
Healing roll: 12
Once finished he'll walk up to the others near Droki and nonchalantly slide out his dagger and hold it up to his face for closer inspection.
"Which part shall we remove first friends."
He'll then quickly lunge forward gripping Droki's hair and slide the blade along the back of his ear with just enough force to start slicing.
"If he doesn't want to talk, we'll find other uses for him. I happen to know a source that would pay good coin for rare meat such as this!"
As he speaks Rowlands snarl turns into a wicked smile and his eyes widen with excitement.
“Holy hell... from not talking to this. My man went straight crazy right here. Intense brother.”
