This is Council of Thieves AP. Westcrown, City of Twilight, once was the center of Aroden's faith, but now it symbolizes despair. By day, the city remains a vibrant center of trade; but, by night only those with a death wish venture out.

I'm just following, far as I am aware, no one has really asked my opinion. Especially since I'm not the one leading. I will folllow whatever the party decides here.

Well let us try the door, at least look through it to see if it is a way out. Is everyone ok with this? I vote door. Perhaps John could go through first since he is the best armored
Sure you are...send John through the door...John will do it...John will do anything. Just take a little peek, what's the worse that can happen. HAHAHA, evil grin from the DM
The room is an empty 5 by 5 storeroom of some sort. There is a small pile of tattered cloth nested in the far left corner. There are to old wooden shelves on the back wall. The dust is thick on the sheleves and they are empty, except for three glass jars.
On close examination:
jar one has some living beatles and muck;
jar two has some dirt and white lava;
jar three has some dirt and white grubs.
Duncan you are too busy studying the construction to notice what is happening around you but you do realize that...
Duncan's Knowledge:
This is a marvel of underground architectural construction. The sewers were manmade, and made very well. The City itself is only a few feet above water; however, the sewers are sloped and have tide powered wheels that ensure the flow is to the open water. You have notice little, if any, back-up of sewage. The room you are looking at was obviously designed to house supplies and people during construciton hundred's of years ago.
You remember learning that when the sewers were built hundreds of years ago they somehow flowed to the water, even though the much of the City itself is barely above sea level. A creidt to ingenuity.
Perception:
You see a lump within the tattered nesting inside the room.
Underneath the straw, cloth is a bundled dirty cloth that is tied with string. There is a cowrie shell, with emerald and tan mottled pattern. Appraise DC 10,
There is, also, a silver signet ring with crest. Knowledge nobility 10, Knowledge local 12.
Interesting House Grulios family signet ring. One of the remaining 12 most prominent noble families. This is rumored to be the 4th most powerful family in the City, of Chelish ethnicity.

"What in blazes?" Shinon whispers to himself, staring down at the ring. He lifts it to the sky and looks it over. "This is the signet ring of House Grulios. What would this be doing here? Hmm...I have a bad feeling about this."
Shinon decides to head to the library at his earliest convenience and do a little research on House Grulios.

"As you wish," Shinon agreed, pocketing the ring and the shell. He stood up and walked out of the room, getting back in position behind the spot where Andrea had been walking.

I hear the sound like water dripping rapidly on cobblestones comign from the diection we were traveling. I do not know if there is something else lurking, but we should get ready.
As you travel another 90 feet up the tunnel it comes to the sharp 90 degree angle heading left. There is 20 by 20 foot corner. The sewage trench takes up the the outer perimeter. The remaining portion is widest area you have seen. There is a faint light from the surface coming from the corner of the bend.
Janiven sighs, "This does not look familar everything is a mirror image of where it should be." The is a distant clamor of metal from the direction you came from.

Well it's gotta lead somewhere that ain't here. Let's keep going. Stay linked up an soon as we spot an exit outta here we take it.
The dwarf trudes on the continued path.
The short spear is obviously goblin sized. Sort of looks like a goblin was bathing and was interrupted by the sound coming down the tunnel from your end.
The footprints lead down the tunnel another 90 feet and then it takes a sharp right hand turn. There is a small wooded plank crossing the sewage trench as the walkway continues on the other side of tunnel. The footprints become lighter on the wooden plank.
The plank is 8-12 inches wide and you need to make an acrobatic check, if you walk it. The trench can be jumped too with an acrobatic check.

ohhh boy! Here we go with bathing in doo-doo!
1.If Shinon ends up in the sewage, Andrea looks appalled and extends a hand to help him out.
2.If Shinon makes it, Andrea catiously heads across. Acrobatics:1d20 ⇒ 15

Shinon is male. I really don't see how you think he's female with that stern-looking avatar I gave him, lol.
Shinon groans as he feels his balance sway. He shifts his weight to the left, and then to the right, but he can't seem to steady himself. Sighing, Shinon looks up and mutters, "I'm about to fall into this river of fecal matter, aren't I?"
And with that, he slips and falls deep into the river, forcing himself to the surface as quickly as possible. As soon as he breaks free and takes a deep breath of fresh air, he looks around at the muck and grime he is now swimming in. "Yep. Yeeeeeeeeeep. Disgusting."

Shinon mutters and shakes his head, swimming to the other side. "I appreciate your intentions, Andrea, but I believe it would be best to not risk falling in yourself."
He grabs the side of the destination's shore and tries to pull himself out.
Shinon, you need another Fort Save DC 12 as you slide back underneath the murk potentially with your eyes or mouth open.
There is a dead-end on the side that the remaining party members are standing. The tunnel continues on the other side. The choices are to turn back, jump the trench or cross using the plank.
