"They're in there. Please...I'm so sorry I did this. If you get them out," she starts to grab something out of a bag and shows it to you - a coin purse, "I'll give you this. It's 520 gold. Just help me make this right. I just can't go in there myself...I just can't."

"If dir are such creatures inside, vi vil take care of dem." Andrømeda says, grabbing the coin purse and passing it to Kwisatz. "Vith luck, vi may be in time to save de folk det vere locked inside."

The woman is somewhat releived that you have agreed to help. 

For Kwisatz:

Rush just sort of sways nervously, anxious to go in, but not wanting to lead the way to the destination. 

(you may note that Rush is happy to lead the way into danger from a couple past events, but this is more social leading)

Kwisatz takes the pouch from Andrømeda, and pockets it to share later. He then looks to the woman and says "Is there anything more you can tell us before we go in? You said undead? How many? Anything else at all could be helpful in both rescuing the researchers, and keeping us alive." After her answer, he tells her to go wait near Conyberry somewhere safe. He then turns to the group and says "We should be careful. She was very afraid of something here... There may be more than some 'simple' undead."

Andrømeda's voice rings out with bountiful confidence, "Vhatever may kom, vi vil face it together, and triumph!" she raises an arm to flex a bicep and smiling brightly for her companions.

"I...I don't know how many undead," she says. "ALL of them, though, I think. The exploration group had 6 scholars and their 4 bodyguards in there." Then, she mutters to herself, "Though those scholars were rather rude." She hears Kwisatz direct her to go back to the abandoned town, but she doesn't noticeably respond.

((After giving the interaction some more thought...)) Kwisatz persuasion check: 10. ((Welp...nevermind. lol))

"Hmm," says Sael.  "I wonder if she had dead relatives in here."

When Sael said that, thinking that the old lady wasn't paying attention, she perks up and looks right at Sael. "That wasn't my fault. No one would help me!" Then she shies away and mutters, "Oh no...I've said too much."

Sael narrows her eyes, and steps closer.  "What wasn't your fault?"

Roll either Intimidation or persuasion (your choice) DC15.

Intimidation: 5 

"I can't say any more," she says and she crosses her arms and furrows her brows. "And, those people in there need your help, now. Please, help them."

Almost as if to punctuate her point, you hear the sound of someone yelling somewhere from inside the catacombs.

"It seems there is no time to waste" Kwisatz says as a shimmer of magic surrounds him ((casting Mage Armor))

"We'll be back," Sael says, before turning to follow her party.

Andrømeda moves forward, taking point, and stands in front of the door on the right. She looks back at her companions for a moment, before readying herself for whatever may be on the other side, and opens the door.

Have Andrømeda roll Survival (DC15).

Survival: 5
