Road to Phandalin

"If you would Otrov, please give that map and the contents of the bag and the bag to Kai she's our treasurer"

As she goes to open the door she Says

"Careful, if the Dwarf is in here, don't shoot him."

she opens the door.

Like a halfling caught with her hand in a cookie jar, Otrov does as she is asked, handing the bag over reluctantly.....but not before trying to slip one of the gems out of harm’s way ;)

sleight of hand - 23 

Otrov will shoot if she sees any goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, or any other disgusting thing - dwarves being the exception. 

Otrov, somehow all three gems disappear into your pocket.

You open the door and you see what used to be an exquisit bathroom. It is dusty, and one of the walls is damaged. Inside a bathtub you see a bruised and battered dwarf that is bound and gaged. He is unconscious at the moment. He is in his middle of his life, red brown hair and a full beard. A bit smaller and wider then your average dwarven fighter.

"Is that him Kai?"

Otrov scans the ceilings, floors, and corners of the room as she makes her way carefully towards the tub, her Prick in her hands.

 Perception- 6 

[well, that sucks.  Take lucky again]

Perception - 11

Dain continues keeping an eye out from the doorway. His familiar getting the help action from him.

Sabastian perception: 23

(Tie so does he notice the slight of hand or not?)

Margret seeing that Gundrum is in Kai's good hands decides to explore some of the castle now that the goblins have retreated

She points her finger after sheathing her weapon towards the direction she thinks the tiethling is at and sends him a message

"Nobody we found Gundrum. Do you have another sleep spell?"

She wonders how Marco is doing and tries to contact him.

(I'm going back to the dining room and claiming the half plate)

“We should at least go in pairs. There’s a shaman on the loose,” Otrov will venture and will go with Margret if no one else offers. 

*edit- about to head with Margret, Otrov is nearly bowled over by the excitable Goblin.  I think he’s trying to beat me, she thinks.  Otrov instead opts to stay here and will go towards the bathtub with the intention of untying the dwarf. She does so cautiously, looking for traps and shinies....

Investigation - 13 

“Gunky Rockkisser, I presume?” Otrov says in her coolest, awesomest imitation of Margret. 

Zurzg pops his head in the door to Gundren's cell, thinking that a dwarf held captive by goblins for the last however-long might not be best pleased to suddenly see another goblin so soon.  His curiosity satisfied, he follows Margret to the main collection of bodies to poke around in their pockets, hoping to find some shiny things before Otrov.

Investigation: 18

(Perception vs Slight of Hand: I will rule that you do not notice, reason is that he concentrates his effort on the act, while you spread your attention over the whole room.)

Margret, Marco is to far away to communicate. You can summon him back with your magic if you like. Doffing a medium armor takes 1 minutes, so i say you take around 2 minutes to remove it from the uncooperative corpse.

Otrov and Kai take care of the Dwarf, Kai confirms that this is Gundren. She uses some of her magic and her healing kit to take care and stabilise the dwarf. He is very exausted and beside a brief moment, he stays unconscious. 

Zurzg you are going through most of the bodies around the entrance hall and the dinner hall. You find quite a few coins (805 copper, 210 silver and 14 gold).

Margret and Zurzg, you do realise that the body of King Groll is not there anymore. 

(Eh)

Margret looks about while trying on the half plate she blushes seeing Zurzg while doing so

"I thought you killed King Groll, Oh gods that might of been him that Marco saw"

Zurzg looks puzzled by Margret's first statement, and has no idea what she means when she refers to Marco.  "Zurzg not kill King Groll..."  Confused, he turns around and notices a body missing, realising what she was getting at.  He scampers over to the others and tells them excitedly  "King Groll rise from dead!  King Groll run away!"

"G-good to hear. No more Goblins sighted leaving the north side. Yet. And no, I barely have enough in me to muster up some cantrips." Nobody had replied to the first message. Beyond it, he had been determined to keep on look out. At least for another minute or so. Its not until he started hearing yelling back by the entrance that he muttered a curse in Abyssal, and made his way over towards the disturbance. If he hears about the missing King after, he furrows his brow.

"... That... probably wasn't Groll. Or if it was, Grol is perhaps the walking 'corpse' the creature from back beneath the manor mentioned to me." He shakes his head. "We finish clearing the place, and then... we m-maybe think about using it for a night? J-just to give Gundren a bit more time to recover in some relative safety. But, w-will want to be through."

Dain would move out with the others, looking through the bodies for anything of use or value with them.

After doffing then dawning the newish armor she heads back to the (throne room? I guess that's what you call the bathroom)

where the others are.

"Should we hunt Groll? My familiar is following him."

"And leave Kai and maybe someone else alone with a couple of goblins still on the loose?" Nobody asked. "Because we can't move Gundren. Not well enough to also catch up. I-I can stay with her though. Her and composer friend here. But the rest of you would need to m-make tracks now before he gets too far away." He suggests, but if others insist on a different grouping staying behind to keep Gundren safe, he wouldn't put up much of an argument.

She looks at Kai thinking that she is tapped out also

"Anyone here have a healing solution? I have no desire to stay here. We should to take care of what ever's in that other room to the south of us also"

she breaths deeply

second wind

Otrov looks quizzically down at the Prick, “I thought you shot him in the eye?!” she asks accusingly.  “Well, I’m half-knackered but there were some potion-y things in the bag - maybe you magic-y people can figure out what they are.”  

Otrov rips a piece of bacon off for herself and also Zurgz, to whom she tosses it. “Running after an undead bugbear doesn’t seem fun but we should explore the rest of this place. I can set an alarm trap or more ball bearings?  One you still has a pet flying around?”

Dain, if you want to help search the bodies, roll an investigation check please.

Relgalyn and Kai moved Gundren out of the tub and onto the bed in the next room. They used their cloaks to give it a slightly cleaner feel. Kai: „Gundren is stable. The problem isn‘t so much his health but his exhaustion. I doubt that he can move right now. If we want to move, we will have to either build a stretcher and carry him or he needs to rest. If we let him sleep till the evening, he should be well enough to take a few steps on his own. I doubt that he will be running any time soon though. As for this Groll, if i can bring people back from the brink of death, this shaman may have similar magic. Talking about magic, right now i have nothing left in me.“

"Then we make sure they don't have many extra bodies to return for and maybe revive. At least the hobgoblins need to be burned." Nobody grimaces. "After the search, and most certainly while giving Gundren time to recover. C-cause we're gonna need him at least s-somewhat able." The tiefling then turns to Otrav. "Y-you mentioned potions? M-m-might I see them? With time, I can identify them." He holds out a hand to Otrav. 

Once he had them in hand, seeing multiple of the red ones, he'll use the less magical means of looking, smell, and even dabbing pinkie down one to get a taste test.

Red Potion Check: 18.

If safe enough, he'll pass the red ones back along with word on what they are. The green one he holds on to, if only to use magic on later. "To the south eastern side then?"
