"Don't you ever trip up, fall in pits, walk into big people etc etc fiddling with that stuff all the time? It is good though, I don't mean to be rude" Caerlan whispers as they move forward, then realising that he is whispering continues a bit louder "hmm don't know why I'm on edge but since that last test, if you can call it that I've been wondering if every little thing is a trap - who knows if we end up activating that circle and end up in the Abyss, because we've asked the wrong questions, I mean who would even know! What sort of school is this, I should probably have just stuck to scamming folks but noooo, I had to go and be different..." He trails off flushing in the darkness" Sorry, not sure where that came from..." before continuing in silence.
Kat laughs. "It's okay, everyone has to babble sometimes. And I don't trip too much, I'm more agile than I look." She shrugs. "I wouldn't think they're just going to dump us into the Abyss because of our questions, that's too obvious, then everyone else would realize we were onto something." She taps her chin thoughtfully. "If I were them, I would just have made all the potions poisonous. Problem solved. Or set up some other test to kill us 'before the supervisors could intervene, such a tragedy'. But just teleporting us to a hellscape is a little too overt and panicky, so unless we're accidentally a lot closer to something than we know, I don't think that'll happen." She grins.
Golver would continue walking, his head nodding as he listens to his companions talk behind him. A few moments after kat finishes her statement, the large dragonborn would pause for a moment. "Woah woah wait a minute... scamming people?" The dragonborn would say aloud before slowly turning around and pointing the light from the orb towards Caerlan's face "Caerlan... are you a thief?"Golver would ask with an flat tone and expressionless face.
"Thief! Oh the indignity! How very dare you sir, how very dare you, a little sleight of hand and small illusions can entertain and charm as well as relieve people of a few coins occasionally. I have a shell trick you might like, I'll show it to you back in our rooms, bring your coin purse."

"So instead of just taking their coin from their purse.. you convince them to pay you for the chance to play a game that they cannot win?" Golver would say lifting an eyebrow before turning an continuing to walk along side the trench. "Sounds like thief talk to me" He would say loudly enough that it could be heard by those behind him but he would not turn or look back. The dragonborns cloak would change in appearance however, displaying an elegant stitching of a gnome in manacles in front of a jury of gold and silver dragonborn.
"I guess you don't think you'll be able to find the ball then Golver, nevermind, it is quite tricky.." Caerlan smiles at the cloak as the dragonborn changes it.

An echoing shriek rends the air above the party next! The party's discussion and then Golver's loud exclamation seems to have disturbing something in the cavern above the party!
Dex saves for everyone! DC13!
As a swarm of stirges descends on the party from the blackness above.
"My goodness! I'm glad I'm not trying to hunt for food here! You're about the noisiest bunch I've seen."At the shriek, Necey shifts the light of her lantern to scan the space above her. "Now what?!"

S1 lands on Caelarn bite attack against (who's prone) attack: 25 Damage: 26
Kat follows him, fiddling with a small clump of gears and wires.

Golver would walk about fifteen more feet before yelling over his shoulder. "I COULD TOTALLY FIND IT BY THE WAY!"
"I believe you, my friend" the gnome calls back "if anyone could it would be Golver Shimmerclaw".
