When Hal sees the reactions of the others who looked inside the room he decides to forgo the experience himself. "If it is not a way out then let's keep going" he says quietly.
Mentally he attempts to take stock of his new companions and what each one of them can. If the Hellknights had not showed up this could have been quite a fun party.

Brandon is nowhere near curious enough. He has a quick glance at the two downed goblins for anything of value but only as he hurries after BD and Hal.
I think I can speak for us all when I say Brandon is very curious, indeed. :)
Devil ranges ahead. Until the next notable alteration in the sewer's structure or contents, he tries to stay ahead of the party's light and noise. If he's accompanied by a less-sighted person, he still ranges ahead of them, but is sure to silently point out any hazards.

AND, if you don't read the discussion forum on a regular basis, please check it at least once/weekday. I post annoucements there from time to time, and I don't want anyone to miss out.
Quick question JC, are you granting me both a HP and a PP or my choice of either? Thanks very much.

Just wait till you meet Edmond!I've decided he B doesn't change physically until he prestiges into master chymust at lvl9. E will just be a change in the way he acts and carries himself so he would appear broader and taller etc but his personality will be very different.
You get both, Brandon. Tessai, based on your earlier post, I would say you got a good enough whiff of the nasty stuff to have to roll a saving throw yourself per my earliest post.
Black Devil:
You scout up and find another intersection. You don't see any immediate threats here. You do see a curious small in a corner that looks out of place.
I have updated everyone character's sheet today with the potions and change in hero points/PP's for Brandon. Power points are tracked in the gear section of your sheets.

GM:
curious small <what> in the corner?
Assuming no threat there, can BD's vision be expected to find the sword marks? If yes, find it, and wait for the group to catch up. When BD's less-sighted (and therefore, lit) backup arrives, silently point out the curious small <what>, and the sword mark, and proceed into the next segment of solitary darkness, while the party proper presumably ponders impertinent petit improbabilities, posthaste.
...and I'll say all that, if you like. Or not, if you prefer to double-blind and turn up the paranoia. :)

There is an inordinate amount of debris, feces and decayed carrion piled up in the room. The heaps are large enough to make it impossible to tell what's underneth through natural means without actually digging through it. I don't believe we should take the time with the hellknights behind us. Kyle explains.

"Whatever is hidden in there, if anything, let it remain buried deep. If curiosity compels us we can always come back here, but for now haste should be our charge, lets be off.
Corellon dismisses the room and tucks his face into the folds of hos hood as he passes.
Small rock...against the wall. Strikes you as ooc. You see the arrow pointing left. If you want to move up to the next intersection which seems to be placed anywhere from 100' to 300' apart, roll another stealth and perception check.
The party moves past the foul room and begins to approach Black Devil's location. Everything is still pretty dark outside of the party's illumination. The sounds on Janiven drawing away the forces is now too distant to be heard, or has been silenced. The boy moves with the group, occasionally making the statement, "I hope she's OK."

Beppo nods in agreement with Corellon and heads toward Black Devil.

Devil lingers at the start of the next tunnel on their path, until the party's approaching light reveals him. He points to a lone rock in the room, rather incongruously left against the wall, and shrugs, a look of question on his hard-to-read face. Then he stalks on ahead.

BD:
The light source is steady and unmoving. You are now 75' away. Because the source is around a corner, you are unable to determine exactly what its source is.
It's a white light. You are now very close...any further in, and you risk being exposed by it. You're close enough to hear breathing...heavy breathing.

Kyle wonders why someone who was creating signs to show the way would put one in a different place and on an odd stone that could be easily manipulated. He looks to see if he can find other signs in the room. He also uses detect magic and looks behind the stone (first trying to do it without touching).

I hate to see BD advance too ahead of the group. Although Kyle is interested in the odd stone, he would not spend too much time on it and would avoid making a loud noise that could be caused by moving it. He is curious about its purpose and what it might be hiding behind it. Is their a knowledge check he could make? If nothing can be determined within three rounds he would follow after the direction BD took.

Brandon will continue to move up with Beppo and Hal. He wouldn't say he is now used to the stench but it certainly doesn't have the stomach churning effect it did when he first entered the sewers.

I still don't know what he's advanced TO, so I feel I have space to say that BD won't go too far, but will try to make his scouting of value. If we all knew each other a bit better, we might have a better plan, but for now, he's the submarine screen ahead of your carrier group.
. As you peek around the corner, you see two hellknights, waiting for you. You attempt to retreat, but they are too quick. One grabs you by the arm, the other grabs you by the throat. A rebel scum! I told you I heard something coming that way! The other one jeers, Yes. Fine. Knock him out. Unless they split up, there are probably others behind him. There were over a half dozen of them in the tavern. Quick! Signal the others above that we might need reinforcements. As the fingers wrap themselves around your throat, he pulls a cloth to put over your face. You have a brief second that you could try to scream...
Kyle, you hear a rattling behind the rock. You detect magic from behind the stone.
After a few moments of waiting, you notice that Black Devil has not returned. You do know what direction he went if you wish to pursue.

Well, let's figure it out quick-like. I don't like that our scout hasn't returned.
Beppo steps toward the stone and raises a boot.
No traps, right?
There's still a chance to stop him before he kicks over the rock to see what's on the other side.

"I told Devil not to get separated!" Brandon hisses as he prods his right forefinger against his temple over and again, quite forcefully, as if driving home a piece of information he is desperately trying to remember.
"Tessai, can you see him ahead?" he asks, the tick subsiding.

Forgetting completely about the stone, Tessai moves ahead and close to Brandon - What do you mean? Devil is gone? - She takes a few steps further down the tunnel ahead to move from the ruckus of the group and watches, also listening intently for any signs of Devil.
Do you scream that out? (You're kinda far away from party)
Tessai, the tunnel ahead is far away, and while it's not exactly misty, the dirt in the air makes it hard to see more than a couple hundred feet at most.
