When he gets a chance, Tanakir will search the northeast room for anything of interest and ask the goblin, "What are you guys supposed to be doing in here, anyways?"
Tanakir doesn't find anything else of interest within the room, but gets an answer from the goblin before Aradurk leads him away. "We are NAGPU's smart goblins. Most goblins are dumb, but we work on NAGPU special projects. We take staffs, then we grind them into bags with rings in them," it says.
Wes hauls the sleeping goblin into the central room, and Fumbles moves to open the last remaining door for Karst. Inside is yet another mechanical grinder, an open wooden box, and a goblin at the door who looks up at the intimidating aasimar with trepidation. Seeing the ID card and the axe, it says, "You new guard? I still on break."
In the central room, the goblins share anxious looks and shouts of fear, but don't resist as Rycider finishes tying them all up, shoving pieces of their own clothes in their mouths to gag them. Even when an orc awakes and struggles against its own bindings, the goblins and Bek-Bek seem resigned to their fates.
Tracking: Nine goblins and four orcs are bound and gagged, being watched by Rycider. One goblin is in the northwest room by Karst. All rooms on this floor have been investigated. The magical staircase is in the center of the room.
"New plan my friend, all breaks are to be taken in the next room, follow me" Karst escorts the goblin to where the others are "Ok, so not as much a break as time off work, think of it as a reward for all that, well whatever it is you are doing with the staffs, and if you join in with the others everybody gets to go home in one piece at the end of the shift. Good plan isn't it." Karst may sound jovial but he is watching the goblin like a hawk for any signs that he is going to try and cause trouble.

"Lead the way, Aradurk. Rycider has the goblins covered. Everyone else can accompany us or split up and sweep the lower levels. You're all capable adventurers, I'll leave that in your hands. Remember our goals; we're doing well this far, let's not mess it up now," Fumbles answers.
The last goblin mutters, "Union rules are getting weirder and weirder." He freezes at the sight of his co-workers and supervisor being held captive, but doesn't seem interested in causing trouble.

Rycider will bind and gag the remaining goblin and put him with the others. She will then make a circuit of both the orcs and the goblins, checking to see none of them are tied too loosely or near anything sharp. When satisfied that all is secure Ricky will find a comfortable spot with a good line of sight to the captives, get her crochet hoop out of her carpetbag and busy herself with it's completion. She will, of course, be looking up from her finicky applications every so often to check on the captives.
Wes looks a little lost ,”Well I don’t think we should go off by ourselves... buddy system you know. I don’t mind looking around the lower levels for more stuff. Too squishy by myself.” I can make myself look like this one”. Wes points over to Bek Bek. “Good cover, right? Anyone want to go investigate?”
OOC: Ready to advance once an action is posted. With Rycider keeping watch over the goblins, Aradurk escorting Fumbles to the vault, and Wes looking around the lower levels, what are Tanakir, Zikahl, and Karst doing?
Wes nods to Tanakir and straightens up his robes before taking out his wand. Tapping his left shoe three times before standing straight up and reaching above his head while a purple mist fills the area around him to casts disguise self to look like Bek Bek the kobold. Then goes to investigate the lower levels.
"I will aid you with the lower levels," Zikahl says to Tanakir. "Besides if one of us does get caught, we can hopefully take out the guards before they sound any sort of alarm."
OOC: Ready to advance once the specific floors are mentioned. Let's get through this part quickly so Rycider doesn't die of boredom. Remember that you have intel and heist goals and that the stairs are magical in nature.
Wes becomes the spitting image of Bek-Bek, the kobold supervisor, and with the fifth floor secured, the party splits up to finish the first part of this heist.
Current Plan: Rycider is keeping watch over the captive goblins and orcs. Aradurk is to escort Fumbles to the vault. Wes, Tanakir and Zikahl are to sweep the lower levels of the tower. Karst is with Rycider for the time being.
Wes, Tanakir, Zikahl, Aradurk and Fumbles each approach the staircase in the center of the room, speaking their destination and walking up or down a flight.
For Tanakir and Zikahl:
Though you were walking down the stairs with Wes, you emerge from the staircase without the gnome, in a circular room. A set of double doors sits closed in front of you. Unlike the sliding doors on the fifth floor, these doors appear to open manually with a handle.
For Aradurk:
Though you enter the staircase from the fifth floor, you walk up a single flight with Fumbles and it leads you to the top floor; the staircase only descends from this room. You exit the staircase into a circular room. A set of double doors sits closed in front of you.
"You seem to lead this heist well, Aradurk," Fumbles comments as you ascend. "There is an aura of authority about you. We'll need that to keep this group together and focused. We're doing well so far but we have a long way to go. Lead the way."
For Wes:
Though you descended the staircase with Tanakir and Zikahl, you exit alone into a circular room. Four equidistant doors line the room. Unlike the sliding doors on the fifth floor, these appear to be opened manually with a handle.
For Rycider and Karst:
Another orc wakes from his slumber and starts to struggle mightily against its bindings, muttering muffled curses while the goblins look on in fear.
OOC: It should only be a few days before the party comes back together. This could be a good opportunity for some in character conversation to pass the time.
When he gets a chance, Tanakir will search the northeast room for anything of interest and ask the goblin, "What are you guys supposed to be doing in here, anyways?"

After Wes finishes talking, Tanakir shakes his head, "I will be sweeping the lower levels, but I am not so subtle as you, so let us split up instead."

Tanakir turns to Zikahl, "Very well, let us take the fourth floor and see what we can find."
He'll make his best attempt at being stealthy before taking the magical staircase down to the 4th floor. Stealth: 3

Wes as Bek Bek walks to the stair case and speaks “2nd floor”. Before traveling down.
