Out Of The Abyss

Gremryl not hearing any of this joins leon and morgana

"What's that lass? No matter, got us passage with those 2 goblys. Let's be off then. The faster we get to gracklstough,  the faster we can find Elmo and Hemmy.  And the faster we find a pub eh! " 

Gremryl is feeling hopeful and theres some pep in his step... 

Yuk Yuk - "Righty-o!  Let's a-go!" And with that, he and his twin brother, Spiderbait, lead the way across a spider strand that's no wider than half a foot, and stretches to a far part of the chasm.

    The strand you're currently walking across is a slight incline, and the travel across this 'bridge' is very challenging to walk across.  The glittering of thousands of spider eyes seem to watch your every footstep.  You see dozens if not hundreds of different paths that all intertwine and connect various heights across the chasm.  These Goblins must have an intimate familiarity with this place to be so confident in navigating it for a coin.

Everyone - Roll a Stealth check and a Perception check

    You walk along the spider silk at a slow pace and look around as you make your way to the next web interchange.

    As you arrive at the interchange, Leon notices in the distance a closer of spider egg sacs. There are a few glimmering glints of something nestled between the egg sacs.

    Does the party continue moving forward or detour to inspect the egg sacs and shiny objects.

Leon telepathically to the group

”Hold on everyone. There is something special hiding in those eggs over there.”

Leon whisper yells

”Yuk Yuk, Gogo and Spiderbait hold on. Can we get over to those egg sacs over there?”

Gremryl looks over

"Some treasure eh? You know back in me days I was something of a treasure finder meself. Gremy to gold finder I was called. Aye.. I could find a vein of gold in a mountain as sure as a halfing can find a coin purse to lift.. let's be having a look see. I could use the treasure. and by the way.. dont he thinking I paid ye fare to get across these webs freely lad. Ye will be owing me some ales and a tale or two!" He says in a loud whisper. 

    Under Leon's Pass Without Trace spell, the group very quietly makes their way over to the cluster of spider sacs and the treasure that awaits, nestled therein.  Carefully not to disrupt anything while picking their way through the spider sacs, they find the following:

50 gold pieces each for Morgana, Gremryl and Leon

1 Scroll (unidentified)

2 Gold Rings (they appear non-magical)

1 Map

    Upon closer inspection of the map, it seems to identify a place called The Lost Tomb of Khaem.  It doesn't look terribly far from your current location, although not being very familiar with Underdark navigation, you're not the expert in judging travel distances...

Normally gremryl would say to pass on it..but he just spent his gold and gave up his chain mail shirt...

"Well, I could use some treasure to fill me purse eh.  And I reckon we might be needing some for gracklstough.  You know, back in me day I was known as quite the treasure finder...." 

“When I was a prisoner of the drow they talked about powerful items being hidden in these temples. I think we should check it out. Might be worth it. Grem you can take my cut of the gold we just found. Thanks for paying for this trip. I will repay you as soon as possible.”

"Bah, it's nothing amongst friends.. maybe he cut down on the beard eh! (He grins)"

To the goblins " here's some gold for the detour (give them 25 gold) might be there's more when we find the treasure eh!" Lead the way!

    Yuk Yuk catches the coin tossed by Gremryl and smiles fondly at the gesture.

Yuk Yuk - "Wes can take yas to da place on dis map.  Danger, yes?  Split da coin wes be finding and yas got a deal!"  He bargains with the group, showing with a toothy-grin.

“If were are splitting the rewards you are coming in there with us then?”

Yuk Yuk - "Sure, sure.  Best to be keeping ya's honest and all, yes?  Haha!"  Again with his toothy-grin, he replies back with good natured humor.  "Shall we's be headin' dat way den?"  And with that, he takes one last look at the map, memorizing its path, and begins heading off.

Roll Stealth and Perception checks.  This may be the last time you will have the Pass Without a Trace buff as it's nearing 1 hour since initially cast.

Let's be going then

To the boys: "Shit, if you clowns want to just give money away you could just give it to me!"

Stealth=13

Perception=14

   The Web Runners take you across many hundreds of yards of the oddly rigid, silken strands that are bundled together like cables.  The travel is slow indeed and the group finally reaches a stopping area within a cavern section that's been carved out of a massive stalactite.  It reminds you a bit of Velkynvelve in its design.  You remember the spiders...

Yuk Yuk - "Not far.  Reachin' da Tomb in a day or so, maybe's.  What's so special 'bout dis tomb, anyway's?" He asks inquisitively of the group.

    Looking around you, there aren't any remnants of passerby's anywhere to be seen.  These Silken Paths are clearly not traveled very frequently.  It is, however, meager enough to offer some shelter from the incessant skittering of spiders along the cavern walls and ceiling..

Spiderbait - "Me's gonna get da swills, brudda."  He says to his twin and jogs down the hall until he's no longer seen around the twists and turns ahead..

    Yuk Yuk looks at the group as he takes a pause to rest for just a short bit.  Even Goblins get thirsty from time to time.

To Yuk Yuk:

"not for knowing.. but there may be some treasure lad!"
