Waterdeep: Camel Heist (2020)

Survival : 4

Varinth, you can't be sure if anyone has ever used this door before.  Maybe?

But I'm pretty sure it's a door... probably.

Dario thinks for a bit, listening to Incantis little ditty. "Alright, let's continue on. We'll leave this door and continue northward." Dario slightly limps over to the door (1a), checks for traps, and then tries to open it.

Investigation: 13

Dario, the door is not trapped and not locked.  You gently push it open, and it leads to a small corridor.  At the end, you see another, similar door on the right.  

Shall we? Let’s find our friends before someone else does.

Nice work, Dekhan. I have no idea the path they took and there's that other door still. Could they have found this one, aye... would they have scouted the other... I'm guessing yes. We could jest check a we bit down this one. Vaz, does it look well travelled?

It... looks like a door?!

Varinth smiles sheepishly.

But yeah, it'sh more likely they found the Door Door and not the Hidey Door... he pauses To the Door Door?

Incantis follows Dario northward, making sure to close the door behind them, knowing that while he might not be able to maintain the illusion of his and Dario's defeat to anyone that actually investigates the room he may still mask their direction. Creeping forward, he whispers into Dario's mind.

As we forage onward still

take a pause and heed my take;

hurt am I and so are you

and further danger we might wake.

 

Though we've may not had our fill

of all the clues that lie ahead;

two-pronged harm we may incrue

and we're no use to allies dead.

He listens closely at the door ahead on the east.

Perception: 17

Incantis, there is no sound from the door, nor is it trapped.  It is, however, locked.

Dario hears Incantis in his head as he examines the locked door. Without looking up he says to Incantis, "yeah, yeah, I hear you. But we don't even know where they are. For all we know, they're either drunk, fighting, or both. Let's not miss the opportunity while we have it. Now, do have a lock pick or some magic trick to get us through this door?"

Dekhan tried to put himself in Dario’s shoes and figure out which way he went. Insight 23

Damnit! We shouldn’t have let them run off on their own like this. This is too dangerous for two alone. This Glasstaff is no doubt powerful to have had all the Redbrands under his sway. How do we find them?!

"I don't," Incantis whispers. "Lockpicks aren't something I carry and other than my powers of illusion, my magick, while powerful, isn't the most flexible and I just spent it all." Incantis grimaces at his wounds. "Give it a shot yourself. but unless you're suggesting I eldritch blast the door down, I say we rest here on guard."

Dario leans against the wall and looks at his leg wound and winces again. "What do you want to do, Incantis? You know I want to see what's behind that door, but if you want to sit and rest for a bit we can do that." He then slides down onto the stone floor and sighs. 

"I just can't help but think that, being in the state we are, we may be in grave danger if we encounter any enemies beyond, especially if whoever locked that door back behind us hears. Let us not forget, our captive earlier hinted it was more than just bandits within these walls. Besides," Incantis continues. "it's only a matter of time before either the redbrands return, or our party members arrive, and I'd rather have time to lick my wounds and recover my pact magic by the time either of those happen."

"Dario! Do you have a crowbar or anything we could bar the southern door with?" Incantis will set up shop in the northernmost hallway (B2).

Alright lets take this path a shirt ways and make sure they didn't find it, then we'll double back.
