Leaving the others to interrogate the masseuse, Axandros checked both of the side rooms for anything suspicious. He was certain that this place was the one they were looking for. Well, he really hoped it was at least.

Perception: 4

"Guy's! Get him to talk or search this dump yourselves, because either I'm blind or there is nothing here.", Axandros said frustrated.

(Ooc: assuming my 4 didn't do anything)

Khaffosi is once again interrupted by Axandros and his ultimatums.  Pausing his interrogation of the masseuse, he turns to ask, "Axandros, have you ever done any actual work?"

Hunferho taps Alea on the shoulder, gesturing back outside the bath house. "I don't want to get in the way of the experts inside. But if a secret gang of cultists are operating here, they might want more than one way into this building. Maybe there is a secret door or passage somewhere on the exterior of this building, or the ground just around it. Mind helping me look, to make sure I don't miss something?"

Investigation: 23  Besides looking for secret doors along the outside, he is checking for loose paving stones in the walkway, or hollow tree stumps like in "Hogan's Heroes".

Alea couldn’t help but think that Hunfero had a good idea, and she would much rather spend time away from the others here “that sounds like a good idea honestly“ she said before following him outside the bath house helping him look around and keeping an eye out for any cultists that might want to ambush them since there position and intent was given away so early on

id give Hunfero advantage with help but um.... 23

"You know what, I actually didn't have to threaten masseuses or search bathhouses before. That's the work of henchmen like yourself.", Axandros replied rather annoyed. "Whatever, I'll just wait here in silence for you to work your magic."

*push* *crash*

"Oh that was my tail...sorry"

[Persuasion: 4]

(OOC - *sigh*)

Whilst Arrow is causing more property damage, the keen eyes of Hunferho notices that the wall panel on the left corner seems a little off. With a bit of checking and tampering with it, the panel seems to slip out of place. Removing the panel reveals a short gap in the wall that leads into a tunnel, around 5 feet tall. There is also a fetid stench of sewer water and the like that emanates from deeper within.

"Umm, if you could please stop breaking things, sirs!" The androgynous masseuse calls from outside. "We'll be closed for the rest of the day, but the cleaners only turn up at sundown. They will be upset if there's more work than normal."

After putting the panel back in place, Hunferho goes back to the normal entrance of the building, to watch the work of the others. Sends a Message to Khafossi: "We found a hidden passage, outside, but you should finish your search first."

After they finish their search of the inside of the bath house, he will tell them of the narrow passage to the sewers. Hopefully they will find another way to the cultist lair that doesn't smell so bad.

Khaffosi looks at the opening revealed by Hunferho, turns to Axandros with a 'nothing here, eh?' look, then says, "Unless one of you is skilled at skulking around and trap work, I guess I will lead us down there.  I'm a lot less 'frail' than some of you."

(Was posting the above before Quasimodal's post, but still works.  Not sure if I understand where the panel is, inside or outside, but seeing as the DM didn't elaborate on any of the other goings on and questioning of the masseuse, I'll assume the tunnel is the way to go.)

"I think I've got you beat on skulking AND trap skills....but go right ahead so we can use your corpse as a shield to escape...."

Khaffosi looks at his partner, "I think you have hairballs in your ears because that's not what I said.  But I'm glad you're volunteering your expertise.  Usually you just hide behind me, that's why I didn't propose you go first.  So which of our new friends here are you trying to impress, eh?"

"you're the only one around here trying to impress anyone, I'm just trying to make sure you stick around long enough to finally do it...."

Khaffosi's eyes go wide in mock revelation, "You mean, all I have to do to get rid of you is impress someone?  Be real, the only way I'll get rid of you is if you die.  Speaking of which, lead us down into this cult entrance already?"

Arrow heads down the tunnel in to the sewers...

[Stealth: 11]

Khaffosi follows maybe 15 feet behind Arrow.

"Aren't you two adorable.", Axandros mocked as he followed them into the tunnel. He sure was relieved that he wouldn't have to go in there first but that was a piece of information that no one would ever hear from him. "I can't believe that we are able to waltz in like this. No Guards, no lock, no nothing.", the wizard had the bad feeling that something was about to happen to them, but then again, the where entering domain of a murderous cult. Thus, the uncomfortable feeling at the back of his head, didn't come as a complete suprise.

"thank you for your time sir" Pogo said as he follows the two bounty hunters out of the bath house and around to the secret tunnel. "Before you go Arrow, may Lliira keep you safe" Cast guidance 1  Before following the pair into the tunnel looking back making sure the rest of the group is following. 

Alea stood outside the entrance following in last, she didn’t like it but if anyone was going to alert the guards it was her in a set of full plate armor, but still, something did feel wrong about this

"Umm... miss?" Jabaz calls after the group begins to descend. "Oh..." They say, noting the secret passage. "I guess that makes sense..." They then decidedly go and get a Caution: Wet Floor sign and put it at the doorway, deciding that they should probably leave it be...

Headed down, the passage is a little narrow and twisty, descending down for a few minutes.The walls appear to be damp, smelling of sewage water, it looks like it goes below the sewer level, but there is some small cracks in the wall that allow the water to seep through. The path then seems to change to worked stone, as a pitch black chamber is ahead. Those with darkvision can see that the floor is flooded with some murky dark water. It is difficult to say initially how deep the water is. The roof opens up a few feet above the tunnel, supported by rotting wooden support beams. From the short chamber ahead, there appears to be a couple of passages that connect, one directly ahead and the other to the far right of this chamber, their ceilings about a foot lower than the chamber.

(OOC: For Guidance, just state who you're keeping it on. We'll add the d4 when the skill check is rolled. It lasts for a minute with concentration, so only one person can have it per caster, but feel free to state if you're switching people who have it.)
