Nimue laughs at Facebreaker and says "Well now you owe me some coin possibly you can find some trinkets to repay me in the future and not forget when you go on travels..." Nimue will buy the pole and give it to Facebreaker.
Leo smiles watching this interaction. " So you have some heart in there after all little bird." Leo laugh. "Careful Krash, never know when she might call in a favor!"
Still waiting on the price of the gold nuggets, Leo will buy the clockwork amulet.
Ander prepares the general store ledger while Thistle exchanges the goods for gold. "Hey, I'll throw this in since you saved my life back then." Thistle says, including the Cloak of Billowing in Leovold's purchase.
Wand of Pyrotechnics (50 gp - Nimue)
Pole of Collapsing (60 gp - Nimue -> Krash)
Cloak of Billowing (75 gp -> Leovold)
Clockwork Amulet (500 gp -> Leovold)
Leovold eventually finds workers from the mining exchange, and is able to get 100 gp from the 10 chunks of gold.
The adventurers rest a short while, riding on some of the wagons.
As it approaches nightfall, the citizens of Phandalin reach the gates of Axeholm.
Thrust out from the base of a dark gray mountain is the entrance to the dwarven fortress - a dark, fifteen-foot-wide passageway flanked by forty-foot-high bulwarks of smooth, seamless stone. An iron portcullis covered with rust blocks the entrance. Arrow slits carved into the bulwarks are dark, revealing no hint of occupation.
Norbus approaches the adventurers. He faces Leovold. "Axeholm...legends say that the place is haunted. It's been abandoned for ages. We have a map of the interior, but first we need to figure out how to get inside."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Leovold distributes the gold pieces to the rest of the party. 25g each. "A map of the interior may give some suggestions about possible entrances. I'll go take a look around the outside. Don't worry." Leovold's cloak billows dramatically. " You can count on us!" He will walk up to Axeholm and begin to inspect the front gates for any sign of entry and look down the sides of the wall for any other signs of an entryway.
Investigate gate : 3
Perception to look around the outside wall : 18
Curiously Leovold will also call down the halls through the portcullis as he taps on it a few times to see how sturdy it is and the chances of breaking through it.
Suddenly he has a thought. He manifests his echo on the other side and attempts to switch places with it.
"Hopefully there is some sort of mechanism over there that can open the gate."
If he gets in, he will call out to Nimue, " Nimue, can you dissipate again and join me? Or whoever else you want to send in here I suppose. Maybe Dusty if it is haunted."
Levold lifts the gate further, now 10 feet up. This is high enough for everyone to enter normally. Leovold explores further and finds large double doors which are barred shut. They look as if they could be broken down, though it would take one hour for someone of his strength to do alone.
in a single movement krash jumps to his feet from a meditative position on the ground. he kracks his knuckles and happily assists leovold with the door.
”is a place like this safe for so many....unexperienced commoners”
krashes attention is briefly captured by an impressive display of sparkles and fireworks.
"Well I guess it made our entrance a bit more festive at least." Leovold says as Nimue creates the display, before moving to begin dealing with the doors.
" I surely hope so Krash, but we will have to find that out for sure once we get further inside."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After a few minutes, the double doors fall with a loud SMASH. The heroes look into the darkness for a moment, as an approaching sound gets louder with each second. "Grrrrrwwwwrrwrrrrrraaaaarrrwwwwwlllll"
Suddenly, the party finds themselves in front of six ghouls!

And echo of Leovold appears next to the Ghouls attacking Dusty and slices at them with it's axe. "These damn things always coming for our casters!" Use unleash incarnation to get another attack in.

Nimue looks at the wares and says "Hmm I might find a use for this later.." as she purchases the wand of pyrothecnics
Krash approaches the vender inquiring about the collapsible pole.
”unique weapon. i want to purchase from you...”
the monk digs around for what little money he has and frowns. he turns to nimue who seems to have an abundance of extra currency.
”i have very little gold. it seems i should make more of an effort to obtain these coins...”
Nimue laughs at Facebreaker and says "Well now you owe me some coin possibly you can find some trinkets to repay me in the future and not forget when you go on travels..." Nimue will buy the pole and give it to Facebreaker.

Leovold makes his way through the gate, and finds rusted winches inside.
(ooc: Strength check to attempt to turn.)
" I think I found the mechanism to open the gates!" Leo calls out. " It's pretty rusted, but I'm going to try to move it."
His cloak billows dramatically as he gets into position to try the winch.

His muscles bulge as he pushes against the rusted mechanism.
Leovold's great strength is able to move the winch despite its heavy rusting. The gate lifts 5 feet.
" Whew," He wipes his brow. " Surely that's enough for everyone to squeeze in right?" He goes to look. " Oh, maybe not."
He runs back in to try to move it more.

(ooc: 60/4 = 15)
He run back down into the passage and the cape billows dramatically. "Welcome to Axeholm!"
Exploring further and finding the doors.
" Krash, I might need some help with this." He ponders for a second. " Anyone have a portable ram of some sort?"
Nimue says "I have a wand that shoots fireworks... So no."
Nimue takes out her wand and fires a sparkly multi colored blast into the air.
in a single movement krash jumps to his feet from a meditative position on the ground. he kracks his knuckles and happily assists leovold with the door.

"I'll help smash the door."
Dusty says a prayer for guidance then smacks the door with his hammer.
