"Certainly you must take your time to master the proper techniques to syphon whatever little Faerzress to do many things." - a glimpse of a smile and joy in his eyes, Ree'lyn finally adds still whispering like for all of this conversation: - " We will...you will have much to gain." - with a nod when bidding farewell to the human, Ree'lyn notices Svana has regained her conscience after exploring the surroundings in her spirit friend rat form.

Taking a bow before the wizard, Ree'lyn smiles. - "Many discoveries to tell from your exploration, Lady Svana? " - the drow asks willing his thoughts to go through the communitarian telepathic link, so that whatever important information could be shared at once.

“Just more holes and oil,” Svana says, choosing not to use the link so that those not connected would be informed. “But the right is a dead end.” She concludes, bending down to pick up Chandra. “Left would be the way to go, but let’s watch our step. I’m unsure of what the holes contain, and the oil may cause us to slip.”

Ree'lyn nods. - "I am going to ask Step Step Thud to join me scouting ahead, so we will have a distance to see what we make out of it."

With another now, Ree'lyn bids farewell to Svana then turning to another direction to tend to his matters.

Just after the party sets camp to rest, Ree'lyn swiftly moves to Amara producing a bottle and two small cups. Looking at her with a smile. -" May I?" he doesn't actually wait for an answer and uncorks the bottle to pour the content in both small cups.

Quote from BeastyC >>

"I might be able to if you stayed out of the city. As a nobleman of Gracklstugh Perhaps i could return home and get some aid from my family. Thought my younger sister and brother aren't particularly fond of me. Now that im a war priest of Deep Duerra they might they might see me as a threat."

 Amara smiles at Ronnal. "We very much appreciate your offer, dear," she tells him. "However, there's the added issue that there's not much a way for people to get to the surface from Gracklstugh. Mantol-Derith and Blingdenstone give us a better chance of finding a caravan or other way to the surface without the added risk of being enslaved."

(Eutra, I suggest we hold off on the camp encounter until we finish the day and make the right or left decision and wrap up the day)

Amara nods at Svana. "Well then, shall we darlings?"

Duke stands there patiently, waiting for Amara to answer its question.

Amara smiles at Duke. "Oh, this is far more serious than my limited healing capacity could restore," she tells him, tapping her limp arm. "It happened centuries ago, and healed like this. It would take much more powerful magic to heal, and besides...I'm not sure I'd want it healed anyway, at this point in my life."

Phineas joins the others as they discuss directions. To Svana he says, "I could scout ahead and see what the holes contain," he offers. "I think I could get a good sense if there's danger and we'll be quick enough to make it back if there is."

“Very well, Phineas,” Svana starts, first setting down Chandra before continuing. “I’m going to have Chandra here accompany you, I’ll be looking through her eyes and in case something happens we’ll be notified immediately, okay?” When he confirms, her puts her hand on who ever is nearest and goes back to her glazed over state, looking through her familiar’s eyes again.

Receiving affirmation from the others, Phineas is obviously giddy. He steps away from the group, closing his eyes momentarily to focus. The gnome lets out a slight grunt before dropping to all fours as coarse hair quickly covers his body and his face elongates with a snout protruding from it. Within seconds, the gnome has transformed into a large, shaggy canine, about 5 feet long with patchy grey and black fur. Phineas-mutt turns briefly to regard the others with a jagged, toothy dog-smile before padding down the tunnel to investigate.

Woof, woof perception: 18

Quote from Persuasion >>

Step Step Thud hops over to Gwendolyn, overhearing her conversation with Ree'lyn. He peers over her shoulder at the waterskin, speaking in her voice, "Alchemy jug? Beer!" and reaching for it.

 "ah. ah. ahhhh. when we get out of this place, I will fill it with drink little one. for now, only useful ways to help us escape."

After Phineas and Chandra head down the tunnel, Talike walks back over to Ash. 

"Okay, Ash, I'm getting some mixed signals from this group. The dog and the rat can go down the tunnel, but the lady with the greataxe can't? I think it's reasonable to explore places in pairs, but a dog." 

Talike waves her axe around haphazardly in the way that many people might gesture with their hands while speaking.

Duke catches Talike's greataxe with its metal hand as she swings it around. "Declaration: Greataxes are deadly weapons. They should not be used in such a manner when allies are close."

Ash, snapped out of thought, looks to Talike before sighing. "I figured they would be smart enough not to allow single people to adventure down the paths. I apologize Talike. But I suppose they decided sending Phineas on his own was a 'good' idea. Shall we just wait for the panic to ensue?" 

Ash moves to lean against the path walls, looking down the left path as Phineas and Svana's rat head to investigate

Having offered to be the support for Svana as she shares the body of the spirit familiar, holding her hand with one of his hands and reading his notes on the last days of travel, on environment, flora and fauna nothing alike what is seen in the Underdark.

Poochnias: The cavern walls are occasionally slick, and have small quarter sized holes in various parts of the ceiling, just as Chandelier detected. As you get closer to the end of the cave, black ooze begins dripping rapidly from some of the holes.

"Oh Ash, I wanted to thank you for the tarot reading the other day. Can I see your sword? I've just had quite the breakthrough and I think I could make it a little bit better...at least for the time being." Gwen uses her tools to make slight adjustments to Ash's weapon and gives it a +1 to attack rolls and damage (If Ash lets her), "Ah yes, try swinging that around. I've gotten pretty good at infusing magic into mundane items... I do have my limits though. I've also made a little hat that if you wear it -- well while its infused -- one of us could breathe underwater. That one isn't active right now though. Anyway, enjoy the sword. I'll let you know if I need to umm de-in-fuse it."

Three large grey oozes pool up and form, a writhing mass of oil, ready for their next meal. Before combat begins, what does Poochnias and Chandler which to do?

Ash let's Gwen take her axe and nods. "Oh! Um... Thank you Gwen. It's much appreciated." Ash smiles at Gwen as she finishes and looks around the rest of the group. 

Having little to do except waiting, a mildly annoyed Enkindle had taken to sitting by Huey, and watching him work. She even sat down to try and emulate him with her sickle, suppressing the stench by breathing only through her mouth. After a while she loses herself in the work, and even smiles that rare smiles of hers as most conversation flies right over her head. "Shoot. Oi! Mind remind'n me to pick up more whetstone from Sloopadog?" She whispers to Huey, blissfully unaware of the encroaching danger... until any hollering starts.
