Nodding, Afamrail turns back to Tana.

”As much as it would benefit us to know what your ancestors have to say, I do not think we will be able to remain in the open for the time you need.”

Looking at the door, he thinks for a moment.

”I suggest we go through and make our way downstairs. As soon as we find a spot we can remain hidden, then you could commune with your ancestors.”

Not hearing any objection, Afamrail opens the door and looks inside.

This room has more kitchen supplies in it and also some stairs down.

Afamrail ushers everyone inside and closes the door behind them. If the door can be locked behind them he will lock it.

He then will go quietly down the stairs, staying to the shadows to get an idea of what awaits them below.

(Stealth: 28 )

The stairs lead down to an open room with long tables around the room with many exits. One open path on the north wall. A door on the south wall next to a open passage. There is also two doors on the east wall and one open passage on the east wall.

Afamrail whispers up to the others that the room is empty.

To Raine he asks “ do you think you can get the Orcs to show us the way to the rebels?”

He stands on guard, bow ready while the rest come down.

"There are no guards below. I think most everyone is at the feast. Can you show us the way now?" Raine asks, starting down the stairs towards Aimon.

"It should be this way" Flelykur says, they lead you down the open south corridor into a turn to the left and right, and then the orcs stop, "Around the turn, theres a guard."

Afamrail moves to the shadows to go down to the turn to see if he can spot the guard without being seen.

(Stealth: 12 )

While Afamrail is scouting ahead, Raine turns to the others and whispers, "Do you think we could cause some sort of distraction and get the guard to leave for a moment?"

You turn around and see a bugbear guard.

Tana grins. "For a moment, sure, but I believe a more permanent solution would be better. I can certainly create a noise to draw the guard out, and if we act quickly, we can kill the guard before they can say anything."

(OOC Where is the guard in relation to everyone?)

Raine sighs. "Let's at least wait for Afamrail to return and tell us what we're up against. If we can get rid of it in one or two blows, fine. If not, I think we should try to sneak past so as not to cause a commotion."

About 20 feet away.

Afamrail moves quickly back to the others.

”One bugbear, about 20’ around the corner.”

He pauses for a moment.

”If they see all of us they will likely sound an alarm right away. Only one of us and they might just try to deal with the situation alone. The rest could wait right around the corner.”

"I'd suggest either you or Tana go, then. I can give you a small blessing that would help you sneak up on them if you want the element of surprise on your side," Raine offers.

(If they agree and want to be stealthy instead of just running at the guard, Raine will cast guidance on whoever is going, allowing them to add a d4 to the stealth check.)

Tana nods at Afamrail’s scouting. The rogue certainly has useful skills. “I can dispatch of the guard quickly. In the worst possible outcome, I can pass as a Giant more than any of you can,” he whispers.

Afamrail nods at Tana. It’s unlikely the bugbear could survive even one blow from the goliath.

”Dispatch it quickly if you can. If it somehow survives your first blow, I will come around the corner and help try and silence it.”

Tana will attempt to sneak around and surprise the bugbear guard, taking two reckless GWM attacks directly at the neck. 

Stealth (if needed): 12 + 2 

Swing one: 10 dealing 21 Slashing damage.
Swing two: 13 dealing 15 Slashing damage.
