The rubble would be difficult terrain, but can be crossed.

"Nic speaks wisely, I agree."

Eleazar whispers Follow me, who knows what we might find down here. Might even be whats behind these goblins. Eleazar peers around the corner.
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

@Eleazar Did you move? If so you forgot to post a new map.

oops sorry
map

Nic moves around to follow Eleazar, motioning for the others to follow.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

I think we should to be checking quickly, then seeing if we can find the Shalelu womans. She may know more about what tribe of goblins these are, where they may have found skill to dig tunnels into factory, ja

MAP

Perhaps we can move to join the two groups before following that possible tunnel somewhere dark and sinister.

You both see some stairs leading down and 2 doors on the south wall, both shut.

Eleazar will open the door. and peer inside.
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Map

@Eleazar You find a storage room full of glassware, windows, and other finished goods.

Nic will move past Eleazar and peer around the next corner, trying to be as quiet as he can.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Perception Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Whispering back to Eleazar, I think this is to be linking back with the other way we came, ja, a full circle.

MAP

Kerak explores the other hallway until he sees Nic peek around the corner.
map

Nic sees Kerak, giving him a hand sign to indicate "1" and then uses one finger to draw an up across and down box to indicate a door, hooking his thumb and gesturing back over his shoulder. To clarify, he points at the three doors showing along this passageway, nodding and then gesturing back over his shoulder towards Eleazar. He signals for Kerak to wait, while Eleazar finishes his search and moves up to the next door.

"Maybe we should agree on a few simple gestures, so we can do this quietly, if we are to be doing this for a living, ja"

Kerak nods and waits.
"I hope this is what he meant."

Nic and Kerak both see 2 more closed doors in the last hallway, and another pile of ruble. It appears the 2 doorways in the eastern hallway were, until recently, walled off.

Eleazar whispers to Nic, This room looks clear. We better hurry up though. Time is of the essence if we want to find Ameiko. Eleazar then moves past Nic to scout out the next room.

Map

Nic moves over between Eleazar and Kerak, to be ready to assist either man with what lies beyond the doors.

Ready gentlemen, let us to be hurrying. Lemona guards our flank.

MAP

Kerak checks his door for traps while Eleazar works on his own.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
On second thought, maybe taking 10 is a good idea.

Kerak finds no traps.

Eleazar will open the door and peer inside.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Eleazar opens the door to find Ameiko Kaijitsu bound and lying on the floor of another storage room. She appears to be unconscious.

[ooc] I am assuming she is tied up with rope]
Eleazar rushes over and cuts her bindings with his knife and attempt to wake her up.

Wake up Ameiko, Are you hurt?

She is unresponsive, but breathing.

How many rooms are left to check, and which ones are they?

A22 and A23 have not yet been checked.

Nic moves to Eleazar's side, stating I will be to watch over her. You should to help Kerak check the last two rooms. Rani Lemona will support you both with her bow. Then we can be moving to get Ameiko out and come back with maybe the stronger force to follow these goblins to their hidey-holes, ja. End the threatening once and for all, neh.

He will make a Craft Alchemy Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 to see if anything he has on hand might be used to bring her back to consciousness. (Nic has whiskey, urea, saltpeter, and brimstone, as well as stock acid, to try to mix a small, pungent compound to act as a form of smelling salts if needed.)

Nic will make a Heal Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 to determine Ameiko's overall condition.

MAP

@Nic She is stable but unconcious. She will likely wake up on her own in a couple hours if not sooner.

Map

Rani Ameiko seems to be the fine, no real harm. I am to think the ordeal above has been the too much for her. I will be to watch over her while you check the last rooms, da.

Keeping one eye on Ameiko, Nic will look around the room they are in, trying to determine what it was originally used for, what it now contains.

Kerak will take the suggestion and follow Eleazar as he investigates further.

I see. Kus-Kus mentioned some issues as well. These all seem like temporary things though so maybe it will pick back up in a week or 2

Hey Bones I have a guy from my real life campaign I GM who would love to join if we need a replacement for Kus Kus, I'll have his sheet sent to you sometime tonight.

Sounds good. It will likely have to wait until glassworks is finished though

Hey guys I just wanted to update my status. I couldn't access paizo for some reason earlier and I've got a friend in from out of town tonight so I'm gonna hang out with her and will be afk until the morning. The door Eleazar opened will trigger an initiative roll that I will get to in the morning.

@Lemona I will post a new version of the map tomorrow. Hopefully the new map will work right

This is prolly gonna sound stupid lol, but im thinking about maybe merging the two group that had originally split again. I split them cuz I thought it would speed things up but we are pretty much still at the same pace anyway, which is still pretty good compared to other pbp games I think. What do you guys think?

I'm okay with recombining the groups, if that meets with the rest of the groups approval. I've kinda still been subscribed to the feeds for that game, the banter was interesting.

edit: What happened to Kus-Kus, and maybe Lemona?

I think Kus Kus got tired of being looked down on and decided he no longer wanted to be part of helping the town. Lemona will have to decide if shes wants to saty or if she wants Vire from the other game to stay, i would figure out an exit plan after I knew which one

Of the two I'd choose Vire; he's more developed and I think will in the long run be a bigger asset.

That said, I feel like the two identities of the groups is actually rather different. I'm concerned with how they'll mesh.

Indeed they are, but I think it will be ok. I split them to begin with in hopes to speed things up, but I actually think it was working just as well as a whole. Since its extra work to run 2 groups, and it turned out to be of little benefit to split them, I feel we may as well re merge. It kinda works out nice that one has stayed at the dragon while the other chose the white deer. The can join back together as I'd they were always the same story

I don't know if people are waiting on input from me for something or what. I'm just going to cut scene it I guess.

Guys I'm going to retire this game. Its moving so slow, it seems like no one wants to play it, they just don't want to drop. Better luck in the next one

I've been posting, but the wizard is not really the front line kick in the door type.

Indeed, I'd been waiting on the rogue. But alas, it does seem to have slowed. No fault of yours, bones. Thanks for giving it a go.

Sorry this weekend has been crazy. We are sort of missing a frontline with kus kus and narvolo being gone.

indeed, and Lemona hasnt posted since tuesday

Sorry about that; with the merger being discussed and her likely to fall off the table i hadn't had much incentive to play her since she'll be gone after this event. Just been waiting to see if a combat started up to update her positioning and make a post.

Yur the front line man, its all good though
