laid back apocalypse

**earlier

Yes   that would be good sir elf, and i shall head to Triboar to see if they turned around for some reason.  you can send a messenger if you find anything, 4 wagons and 20 dwarves shouldnt be too hard to miss one would think  The cleric bows his head in thanks

With that information handy, our think our next move is to follow Kerric back to the quarry and go look in those caves one more time....(for fun?)....

OOC:  we can hand wave that if we like—Kerric was hoping we might find more clues or another secret exit from the hideout since we didn’t get to explore all of it earlier.

It will take about 2 hours to thouroughly explore. So if you do

1 perception and 1 investigation roll for everyone checking 

Kerric:

Perception:  11

Investigation:  5

Perception: 9

investigation: 13

With some pep in her step from her berry haul, Ebele would tag along with the others. She’d offer to help the best she could with the investigations.

(I know DM asked for individual rolls. But I’m going to be ‘that guy’ and ask: Can we trade help? Ie. I help Xalkas investigate, And he helps me perceive for example?

Who wants to lead the blind?!)

 (That works for me.)

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker gladly takes Ebele's assistance: 

Perception : 13

Investigation : 18

Reghys isn't too keen to return to the cave. Instead, they offer to speak with the constable again, to determine the delegation's route and maybe find out who else in town knew of their itinerary. Something about the weird rituals here smelt like a conspiracy to Reghys, and they just wanted to make sure they exhausted all sources of information before heading onwards.

Knocking at the butcher's door, Reghys inquires: "Is the constable here? I represent the Argent Alliance, we have some questions for him..."

The constable actually answers the door himself

"how may i help you

"Good evening! More and more threads of our investigations in the strange happenings around here seem to implicate the missing delegation from Mirabar. I was wondering whether you could tell me what their intended route was, and who in town knew of their coming arrival and the route by which they would travel here. I'd also be interested to know who in town likes to spend time worshipping the moving stones. Your help in this would be extremely appreciated."

Persuasion: 23

"You would have to ask that cleric on their route. Everyone knew they were coming. Its sort of a big thing. As far as those stones and these ""believers"" im investigatin that myself." He spits off to the side. "Any information you could provide ild be much obliged"

After.about 2 hours investigating the "TOMB OF MOVING STONES" the party comes up with no other useful information except for a hidden door in the main chamber.  Following that leads to an entrance behind the wagonworks

Waelvur’s Wagonworks  area 16 specifically

Reghys thanks the constable and retires to the inn, where they spend the evening regaling guests with songs and stories of far away lands.

Performance: 11

a few people pay attention,  most are talking about the missing delegation, and the murders below town.

Kerric:

"Well, at least we found the back way in," says Kerric, heading to the inn and ordering his dinner.  Listening to Reghys sing and overhearing the discussion of the murders, Kerric listens carefully to hear if there are any more indications about the cult of Black Earth or the Bringers of Woe.

Perception:  9

you hear no mention of either subject

OOC:  So, the 'murders below town' are not related to the cult activity, but some new issue?

OOC  the murders below town are the bodies you found with the rats
