Road to Phandalin

Dain plops down on a boulder and lets the others do the explaining.

Just as you say that, Gundren comes out of the same corner and a small pebble comes flying at you 12 from the opposing  site of the cavern and you see Zurzg happily jumping towards you, proud of his hiding skills.

An angry look comes over Margret's face this tiethling poo pooing her Ideas 

But her face softens, happy to see her other comrades

"You can put the mage hand inside your empty skull"  she tosses the Skull At Nobody the light it admits flashing from its eyes as it flips in the air. finding herself almost amused at the insulative pun "Try it! Least you wont waste any arcane power"

"We missed you guys. I'm afraid we used up our arcane resources and shed quit abit of our own blood doing what Nobody said"

Otrov

She looks sheepishly at Kai:  "Thanks, lady.  I thought I was going to die!"

Then to Margret:  "And thank you for carrying me and bringing my things" she says, taking the lantern and Prick back and hugging it.  "It's always weird to see someone else's hand on my Prick."

At the commotion of Zurzg busting through his hiding spot, Otrov spins, Prick cocked and ready.  She relaxes at the last second and a big grin envelops her face.  "Zurzg!  I've never been happy to see a goblin before!  Here you go!"  She'll fish out a piece of bacon and fling it high up into the air towards the goblin.

To the rest:  "Guys!  Guys!  Was it just me or was that the biggest furnace you've ever seen?!  Can we use it?  Can we make stuff out of it?  Gundren? Can you do blacksmithy stuff?!  Maybe Nobody could make a statue of me and then we can make a real one out of diamonds or something?!  Ooh that would be grand!  Or maybe super special bolt tips for my Prick to shoot out?!  Pew pew pew!"  Otrov bounces around a bit, fake shooting into the air.

"Speak quietly Otrov, shesh I wish I had your energy" she says quietly hoping that no one has heard their battels but she can't help but smile at her enthusiasm.

"Speak quietly Otrov, shesh I wish I had your energy" she says quietly hoping that no one has heard their battels but she can't help but smile at her enthusiasm. 

 Otrov

Otrov quiets for a moment, thinking.  "Well, you can't have it Margey!  And hopefully no one is near - it's good to be aliiiiiiiiiive!" And she'll do a few hops and pirhouettes and flips.   Acrobatics - 12.  When she stops, she'll say, "Well, if no one heard our battle with the damn skull, they were sure to hear Dain's thunder blasty magicky spell."  

You hear another boom of crushing weaves echoing through the caves. 

 Nobody dodged the skull as reflexively as he'd jumped at Zurzg's rock throwing. Although he intended to get another word edgewise, detailing the many other flaws with her plan, the last comment about his own actions silences him. What could he even say in response to that? The answer was all to clear. So, while Margret and the rest were destricted by 10,000 words per minute Otrov, the tiefling glumly made his way back over to the pit. There he sat on the edge, unmoved even by curiosity over the noise. There he would pretend to be focused on viewing things from Karasym's system after sending the snake a decent ways back into the tunnel system to keep watch.

Dain has Sabastian help with keeping watch in the tunnel, though he doesn't know of anything that would be seeking them, all enemies they faced were taken care of after all.

Margret walks over picks up the skull feeling perhaps she shouldn't of been so pissy. She still jumps at the sound of the boom even though she seems to be less startled. Maybe, that's why they have not been swarmed by enemies... Maybe she hopes

"I tend to... Overreact, sorry, You guys fought well my friends." 

She looks in askance to Kai, Zurzg and Gundren

"My friends, what news do you three have? Have there been any comings and goings here?"  

All said quietly. After they reply getting Marco to stand watch changing his view to all three entrances if she see's the grave she'll pay respects to it. Then she walks over without a word after pulling the rope up. she sits down next to Nobody, wishing she had her flute. She joins in his silence. 

Nobody tries his best to ignore Margret's presence. Dain and Otrav too, if he got too close. Although its mainly Mar's directly sitting next to him that elicits the flinching out of the tiefling before silence creeps in after a few minutes. Unless Team 2[Kai, Gundren, and Zurzg] had anything more to speak of directly to him, he mostly remained content to stay quiet and focused on recuperating his strength after some initial surveillance of the tunnels.

"I... I am sorry for what happened. Even if there was a reason, I... I should've tried harder to... to... make sure.. not to drag you all into that. Not when you weren't ready." He said, having opened his eyes, but continued to stare down into the pit.

(With DM's permission, I'll hit the short rest button when it's time.)

"Um, you did good Just not all at once we would of had to go in eventually. I'm just glad it didn't hit us with another fireball.

I am a little curious though cause I've seen you do this thing before where you loose control when you get hit I guess the term is Berserk? You are like the great heroes of legends! When they go berserk They're hard to beat until they are cut off from their allies. I remember some of the great deeds you've done"  She smiles at Nobody then looks over to Dain and Otrov hoping they join in this get together

(😁how many words per minute can you type Lothar?)

Otrov

[OOC - one should assume Otrov is chattering almost all the time, even if it isn't written.  she's modelled after the kender race from the dragonlance setting.  she is always busy trying to avoid slaps from annoyed folks, like an unwanted mosquito :) ]

Otrov flips and tumbles over to Margret and Nobody, coming to stop eventually, cross-legged in front of the tiefling.  "What?  Yeah! You're super awesome!  Remember the statue that you made of me?  That was the best tiefling-made mud statue of myself that I have ever seen!  Plus, you know so many cool new swear words that I am for sure going to use in the future when I am fighting too!"

Otrov looks at the rest.  "Wait - we ARE going back in there, right?  We didn't even really find anything yet!  There's also that sleepy bugbear in the mushroom place - he for sure knows something about something!  Aaaand there's that furnace that looks so cool and spooky.  But I think we need some water and some metal - ooh, maybe some gold! Silver! - but we have to get it working first that's why I asked about the dwarves.  Nobody, don't you know we couldn't have beaten that thing without you?    But maybe we have to think a bit more before we go into danger next time?  You all know what I am good at - staying far away and shooting things.  If we use our strengths we'll be more effective!  At least that's what my Uncle -"  Before she can finish, a beautiful yellow and blue butterfly flutters into Otrov's field of vision, distracting her and leading her off.  She jumps after it, trying to catch it, leaving her companions to their own thoughts....

I'm sure that Margret and Nobody just stare at each other in shock and utter the word "Wow!"

Yes you can take a short rest.

Also Otrov, you can see a blue and silver moth. Not many butterflies inside a cave. Kai and Gundren join Nobody and Margaret. „So far it was quiet here, the occasional rumbling but thats it. What did you see inside? You mentioned a furnace?“

Zurzg watches what Otrov is doing and when he sees the moth he tries to catch it.

Dain shrugs as the others come to join them. "Yep some sort of furnace." He agrees. "Some sort of undead skull with zombies set there as guards. Lots of ghouls throughout the tunnels as well."

„Do you think that the natural concentration of magic could have caused all those undead here? And if those caves are swarming with undead, where is this Black Spider then? Gundren replies. 

Margret shrugs

"It may be the wild magic. We've only ran into undead so far I guess if we go to the left this time. Maybe we'll find him. Kai do you have anything that will help us? Since we're mostly out of stronger spells."
