(OOC: Alyseris will be exploring the north side of the baths, past the northerly bath on the map above, in the D4 direction.)
Noticing he's unobserved, Alyseris takes the opportunity to move away from the bathing area, and see what's in the rest of the building, taking his time to avoid setting off any alarms, and to see if there's anything interesting along his way.
Mist walks into the courtyard, but doesn’t go in. She’s trying to keep a perimeter in case something happens inside, and to make sure that nobody sneaks up on them.
The girl jumps out of her skin when Badran adresses her. She stammers an answer but needs to restart at least twice before finishing it.
"I started a few days ago. I was here with the first refugees."
Outside Mist almost disappears in the lush vegetation and she hears something go by her. A light flapping of wings, but she doesn't see anything.
Alyseris and Thorin are exploring the north side. After explaining that massages are only later during the day the girl goes toward the new arrivals. Badran being one of them.
They both, and almost at the same time, notice that one of the panel in the North West side of the room can be moved.
Alyseris looks over to Thorin with a grin. ‘Here we go..’ he then moves closer towards Badran, until he’s 30 feet away.
(Just Badran to read this bit)
Badran hears Alyseris’s voice in his head. ‘We’ve found a way down. Can you pay off the girl and have her leave? We don’t want to risk her getting hurt, or in the way...’
Alyseris pauses long enough for Badran to reply if he’s going to.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thorin will nod at Alyseris and when the girl is distracted he will enter the door and await the others. When the others arrive he will ask them if anybody has a way to inform the others of the room we have found?
He will travel far enough down the stairs to give others room to enter and take a look down the stairs as far as his darkvision will allow
Banlashan shakes his head, "Don't have that type of magics" as he says this he raises his orb from it's pouch and says a few arcane words and for the second time in as many days dons his Mage Armor, then he follows Thorin down into the passage.
(OOC: Banlashan would have used his Portent ability at the start of the day before heading to the bathhouse, 18 and 13 are his rolls for the day)
Mist simply waits for a signal that someone needed help inside, and continues to watch the perimeter of the courtyard to make sure that no one sneaks up behind the group.
Thorin will nod at his friend Banlashan and say: "Aye old friend this is why I hate to split the party...it never works out. What do you think we need to do? I think we have found what we need to find. Do you think we need to sneak back out and regroup? How do you think we need to get everyone back together?"
Banlashan gave a quiet nod to Thorin in return, "I agree, we would be best not to investigate further without the others. This passage is not going anywhere, we could close it and then just go grab the others?"
The girl looks at Badran oddly and seems to understand the meaning behind the words. She takes the coins and bows awkwardly. "I'll just leave you here but I'll be back." She hurries out of the bathhouse. Mist you see a skinny girl looking a bit overwhelmed leaving the courtyard clenching a few coins to her breast.
Thorin; as you go down the stairs you realize that it is a direct access to the sewers of the city, or a least ancient underground tunnels. The last steps are under water. The small room in front of you has only one corridor on the other side of the stairs.
The chamber at the bottom of the staircase is empty, unlit, and flooded with foul-smelling water to a depth of 2 feet
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Once the girl has left Alyseris heads through the door after Thorin, joining them down the stairs. Seeing the state of the foul smelling water his nose wrinkles. Before proceeding he casts Armor of Agathys, those close to him feeling the chill settle over him. Then he waits for the rest of the group to assemble, keeping an eye on the water.
Seeing Badran look out and signal, Mist casts one last look around before heading inside. Following the sounds of movement, she sees the tunnel and heads down, stopping at the bottom to wait on the rest of the group before heading into the unknown underground. Looking at the dreary filth everywhere around them she looks to Banlashan and jokes,
Banlashan smiled at Mist, "Yes it does, feels like those days are far beyond us now, we are officially working for the city now" he did his best to puff out his chest as if proud and strong. He looked at the deep water and knew however that he'd basically be swimming in that and if it came to a fight he'd be next to worthless. "I won't be able to easily traverse this, due to my height"

"Hello, young female. How long have you labored at this place of baths?" Badran decides that perhaps the skinny girl might know something.

A passage opens up behind and stairs lead down.

Alyseris pauses long enough for Badran to reply if he’s going to.
Alyseris wanders back to Thorin.
"I am a refugee, as well. It is a difficult life at times. Here, why not go buy a small bite to eat. I am sure we are fine here."
Badran retrieves 10 silvers (he has no need to carry gold pieces, given that he has such little wealth) and presses them into her hand.
"As long as you leave some towels, everything is fine."
Persuasion check if needed. 13

Badran gets out and dresses hurriedly. Poking his head out the front, he makes eye contact with Mist and then goes back in to find the others.
I do these things as long as I can do so without being seen by other employees.
14 Perception to notice others.
19 Stealth if I need to be sneaky.
