Escape from Elturel

Kaltheon frowns, "It's gone behind a tapestry...if anything else is there, it already heard us. It's likely trying to warn others."

With that he cautiously and stealthily pulls the tapestry edge back, and peers behind.

(( ooc: it's movement would have carried it 5' behind the tapestry by my estimation...am I missing something? ))

„I understand your drive to kill those devils, but could someone please explain to me where the hell are we, who are you and what is going on here.“

( also i use my BA to give THP to the dwarf and Jayson: 11)

(and DM, could you repost the initiativ order again please.)

Jayson pulls the tapestry back and finds a stone wall that matches the stone around this place.

You are out of initiative

There is a pounding on the door 20 feet directly south of the two newbees former cell 

"Agreed, any information about what this place is, or where it is?"  Ethan asks as he glances towards the pounding.  "We arrived here by rather unconventional means to say the least."

"None at all."

Kaltheon glances at Jayson, then to the door. "More prisoners?"

He cautiously moves to the door (( passive perception 16 )) and listens for voices, trying to guess race, or at least language.

Perception: 8
Investigation: 17

If it's just banging, he bangs the door back and says "Who's there?"

Jayson's hands scramble across the space of wall behind the tapestry.  Trying to push through what surely was an illusion.

"What trick is this?" He mutters to himself, as his fellow prisoner presses forward towards the source of the banging.  "Extra careful..this place is not what it seems" he calls out in Elvish to Kaltheon.  

Jayson begins to follow but address the others first.  "Im Jayson, that is Kaltheon.  If I could tell you anything about this place I would.  But I just woke up in a box, in a dark cell, dark enough that i thought I'd gone blind! With this on my face!"  He points to the claw like tattoos adorning his face.

"Not sure how these two got here and I have no clue how I got here.  So it seems we all know about as much as you lot do."  Giving the larger group one last cautious look, he'll turn to follow Kaltheon, and in elvish again, say, "We all, are lost in this place!"

Heaving her axe onto her shoulders, Nea looked around, "I'm Nea, i kill things and I'm very messy when I kill things. If we can't move back, let's go forward and just kill whatever's in the way,"

"Mmmmruh mmm hulmmp meeeeh" in a female voice Is the sound you here from the other side

"Whatever that is we best check on it."  Ethan says with a sigh.  He moves towards the door getting knocked on.  "Any of you good at checking for traps, and disabling them?" he asks over his shoulder as he nears the door, but he does not walk up to it, staying a good ten feet back in case of another floor trap.

(( Passive Perception 16 for traps, and rolled for investigation above as well. Awaiting response. ))

Nea shurgs, "Need to kick a down? That's me, anything else, ask someone else,"

(( Assuming safe, and assuming door is locked and not trapped... ))

Kaltheon smiles at Nea's remark, then nods to Jayson. "Lend me a hand again, we'll see what we can do."

Open Lock: 17

You locked the door with a crit

🤣

(( lost me again...I did say "...assuming the door is locked..." ))

Ok the ranger stumbles and falls into the tapestry and disappears 

...and as he stumbles, he makes a desperate attempt to avoid falling, throwing out his arms in the vain hope of finding something to save him. After he disappears, you hear the clatter of the thieves tools he was grasping falling to the ground.

„And here i was hoping we were finally somewhere normal.“

Bhuraelea shakes his head and tries to open the door (thieftools if needed: 16)

The ranger could of just opened the door with his thieves tools since he was familiar with the lock but Bhuraelea unlocks the door for all to find a very angry woman brownish skin with brunet hair and dark brown eyes dressed in a blue dress tied to a chair and gagged she has worked her right foot loose and is right next to the door. Which explains the knocking.

I‘ll cut her loose.

“Good morning Ma‘am, you do not know where we are here by any chance, do you?“

Blinking over and over again for about 4 seconds,  Jayson's eyes go from the woman tied to the chair and the thieves tool set on the ground.  "I am in a nightmare.." he mutters to himself, before stooping down to pick up Kaltheons tool set, stowing them away in the same pocket as the pebble Wellume had given him.  He knew how to use them, and would put them to good use.  Where ever his momentary companion had gone, he hoped it was a good deal less confusing than this place.

Sighing deeply, and shaking his head with one last inner thought of 'What the hell have i gotten myself into this time!' he steps aside to let Bhuraelea approach the woman.

"Sorry...im not quite ready to walk back into one of these cells." He explains, as he takes a step back.
