<< No I haven't. And I don't like it to be honest. To me, this place looks like exwctly the place for ambushing unsuspecting travelers. We should keep an eye open and hope those dwarfes are still around and  not hostile to strangers>> 

Waltyr gives a knowing nod as the sense of worry takes hold. "Glad we have a decent group here with us to hopefully avoid an ambush," he says in quiet tone. 

Salazar walks up to the gate and knocks yelling “yoo-hoo! Anybody home? We seek fame and fortune. Preferably in the method of helping you.”

<<Oh dear gods, if there is anything Bad waiting for us, I guess we'll find out soon.>>

Kelden prepares to react to anything that appears threatening group. 

Waltyr keeps a watchful eye for any movement especially in regards to threats that may look to do them harm. 

Two dwarves emerge from behind a 10 foot wall near the back of the small ruined settlement. "Fame and fortune, eh? Don't have much in our back pockets." says one of them gruffly. The other says, "Don't mind him, but you all look a lot better armed than we are, and well, we're concerned you've come to take what is ours."

Kelden steps in Front of the group.

<< On the contrary gentlemen. We are here to make sure you can keep what is yours. We werde sent by the people of Phandalin to deliver a message to the dwarves who are digginging for relicts in these ruins. I assume thats you. We don't mean any harm to you.>>

Persuasion: 10

"Okay, what is the message?" says the friendlier dwarf.

<< Well, it seems like recently people have spotted a white dragon in this area. We were sent to warn you about this creature. If you have anything here that would be of interest to such a beast, I would suggest to hide it well and prepare for a quick escape in case of an attack, but our Job is to deliver the message, what you do with that information is up to you.>> 

"Great, I told you I saw something in the sky! A bloody dragon! Good thing we can hole up inside the excavation. Of course we still have to deal with those... things," says the gruff dwarf.

"Hmm. Maybe these guys can help out.  It seems we've encountered some... residents further in, some gooey creatures we're a little afraid to tussle with," the other dwarf continues, "if you could clear out the tunnels, we could give you these sending stones we have."

Herman usually enjoys the open space and the wildernesses.

He enjoyed the trip: the sky was clear of clouds and especially of dragons.

He does not interveen but he does not jump for joy thinking about going underground...and to hunt what?

What, dwarves?! gooey?! What do you mean? Anyway, you know, unlike you, we don't see at all underground: we will need torches or lamps: can you help us with that? 

ooc: I don't understand if I want to add something about trade for a bigger reward. How many are these stones? Just a couple or more couples?

It is a pair of stones 

“Come now friends certainly you can spare a little more for us.”

persuasion: 20

"More than the most valuable thing we own? I guess we could throw in our mining equipment, waterskins and rations. Welp, I guess that's fair. Leave us destitute with no way to finish the job."

"What my friend here is trying to say is, we don't have much else right now.  Now we can negotiate on the price of anything valuable you find. By mining rights, any treasure you encounter in their is still 100% ours, but we'd be willing to give you a generous commission of 50%."

“I believe that that could work. The whole commission things not the leave you destitute business.”

Salazar looks to the rest of the party

<< I think thats a beneficial deal for all of us but my companion over here has a point. >> Kelden points at Herman. << We are not familiar with the terrain, not with the enemy. We don't know their numbers and without ligth this will become a death trap for us. It will be a high risk for us to go in there, a risk that the two of you should be interested in keeping as low as possible, just as much as we are. Maybe you could provide a more Details description of these creatures, how many of them you have seen, maybe a map of the Tunnel System,  reliable light sources, anything would be appreciated.>>

"There is not a lot to describe, just an animated pile of yellow-brown slime. We can spare torches for those who need them."

Intelligence (Arcana) DC 12:

The gruff dwarf sketches ut a crude map of how far they got.  "Those things were in the temple. We saw two of them"

<<Did any one ever hear about a creature that fits their description?>> Kelden ask looking at all the members of the group.

If everybody is allowed to make the Check: 8 (if proficiency in arcana is required then nevermind)

Everyone can make the check

Herman rubs his china, thinking about it
