Yeet or Be Yeeted (Campaign Thread)

Senine certainly has no qualms with that.

Okay. Sanjay is going take the healing. 

9

He closes his eyes in relief as his wounds close up. He isn't 100%, but he feels a lot better. 

((IF we're taking a short rest, then I'll also use my hit die to heal up 7, if we aren't, then I won't.))

Salem opens up the other crates, no longer fearful of whats inside.

Everyone turns quickly once again in shock, dismay, and fear as Salem lifts up the second lid.  She finds three days worth of rations, some hempen rope, and another health potion.

((Are you all taking a short rest or moving on?  It's been pretty quiet in here.  lol))

(I believe we're taking a short rest. What time is it currently in game?)

((We're gonna' say after the walking, and the fighting and the bats, and the healing... it's around 2 p.m.   So, we'll count this a short rest.  Go ahead and update your character sheets.  Then let me know what's happening next, and if anyone will be standing by to listen for returning bandits and the like.))

After one hour, Sanjay is healed completely and is definitely ready to keep moving. While resting, he will be listening intently for movement and and indication of danger.

Senine, being uninjured, will have been standing by, alert for any danger while her companions rested.

Thistle will have stubbornly shoved the second healing potion at Salem and takes the hour to rest. She will also keep an ear open for any suspicious sounds.

((Using hit die to heal roll: 10 ))

Salem will take the healing potion, and be fresh and ready to also continue on.  8 

Faineant reminds everyone that she can't see without a torch.

Now that you're all rested, and you may have faintly heard voices occasionally, the ribbit of a frog somewhere far off, and the continues dripping of water, you realize no one approached you and you decide to keep heading into the cave in search of Hulil. As you walk through a narrow corridor, keeping Faineant in the middle for easier guidance, you come upon what looks to be a camping area.  With Senine in the front, she can make out ten empty bedrolls arranged in a circle around a cold fire pit at the center of this cavern. Chicken bones, empty wine and spirits bottles, and other food waste litters the floor.

Sanjay will investigate (16) the campsite looking for evidence of who these people are and/or what they are doing camping in here and/or where they might have gone.

Senine will peak around the bend to see what is up the passageway to her left(right upper passage)

Thistle carefully sneaks around the outer edges of the cave, looking around for anything that might be suspicious.

((I'm not sure which roll would be best to do, so I'll just do both just in case:

Perception: 18

Investigation: 10 ))

((I'd rather Sanjay roll for Perception, so we'll just add your modifier to it = 14))

Sanjay notices that one of the bed rolls (the blue one lying between 2&3 and C&D) seems to almost be sunken in compared to those lying around it.  Pointing it out to Thistle as she's investigating around the edge, she looks closer to see that the bed covers the opening of a 10-foot-deep pit trap.  Their combined Perception allows them to see that no other bed contains traps, though they look like things may be stuffed in some.  The only reason these rolls could be here are for the bandits they saw earlier, with the mess lying about and similar tracks on the ground, but there's much more than 2 rolls lying here...

Senine peeks around the corner and sees another dark tunnel with a murky pool in it.

"I have a feeling there are a lot more bandits in here," Sanjay says.  "How or why would there be so many bandits is Hulil were still alive and living in here?"

"Not too keen on water today. Best not to go that way unless we need to." Senine grumbles, still annoyed by the dip she took earlier. Turning to Sanjay at his words, she says, "Well, her and her sister were stealing artifacts from the Dwendalian Empire. It aint a stretch to think she might have had some shady contacts. She may be working with them."

Sanjay will look down the other tunnel to see what he sees: Perception: 19

While looking down the other tunnel, Sanjay says, "You're right. I hadn't thought of that. Good point."

Sanjay walks down the tunnel a bit to get a better look at where it leads, and hears the slow dripping of water from the ceiling, likely flowing to a pool that looks to be in the southwest corner of this cavern.  It's hard to tell what else may be in there, as a large rise of rock from floor to ceiling is in the way, but it's obvious you could either move forward or head right, back to where the cave opening may be.

"I hear more water in this way, too," Sanjay says. "We might have to deal with water no matter which way we go."

Senine's shoulders slump a bit at that. She silently pulls her flask out and takes a drink.
