Ayla helps in continuing in the dig, though asks "So about how long should we keep digging here, before we switch digging sites?"
Karsh'e shrugs, "I don't know. Let's finish today and see what we find. Then we can decide whether or not to move."
Night is coming, certainly.
Everyone, you roll the perception checks this time.
Ayla is focused on an odd rock, that looks like two fighters fighting.
It might be a statue, but she is focused on figuring out if it is a statue or is it a rock that looks like a statue...
Jacen is alert & vigilant, as always. He's been silently brooding over everything for some time ...
[dice=PERC]1d20 +1 Jacen is alert & vigilant, as always. He's been silently brooding over everything for some time ...
Jacen, you find a scroll case. It's written in dwarven runes and contains a scroll. The scroll case is as big as your arm.
Looking it over, Escher shakes his head, "Never learned dwarvish."
Karsh'e looks at Jacen's find and sniffs disappointedly when he finds there are no pictures.
Lia takes the scroll and casts a spell.
"Interesting.."
Lia takes the scroll and casts a spell.
"Interesting.."
Lia will share that info with the group.
She will then quietly add, "Do we think the thing we are seeking is here or perhaps can be found using this map?"
"It is a good sign, and it gives us a place to start. Hopefully the map will let us beat the Emerald Claw there." says Escher.
Fiz rubs her hands together "Get to the shinies first!"
"I'm curious where the map leads us...."
When Lia shares the information about the scroll, Karsh'e has one question, "did House Cannith have a connection to dwarves?"
He shrugs when the question of whether to follow the map comes up. "We are going to Whitehearth. Now we have a map showing the way and the town. This is good luck. We should leave at sun up tomorrow."

The Order of the Emerald Claw does not notice you have the map.
Lia will copy/make notes of any text or map names or directions written in Dwarvish before the spell ends. She will then hide said scroll case.
"Agreed. These Emerald Claws seem to be disinterested in us. We should stay out of their way and not upset that balance and quietly leave in the morning."
"Sounds like a plan."
The Mournland awaits!
So in the morning, we quietly head out.
So in the morning, we quietly head out.
Anyone have a better plan?
Okay, everyone roll a stealth check, DC 15.
I better make a Perception roll to see if they hear Lia.
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Checking to see if the Emerald Claw perceives Karsh'e.
okay, they hear Lia.
But they don't wake up.
Onward!
Time to do the thing, fame & payment await!
Jacen feels it's been a long time since everyone was in Sharn; he wants to be able to go back in glory.
Leaving the sleepy Emerald Claws behind....
You see the misty, dreary clouds of the Mournland before you. All it takes is a leap of faith into the cloud. The Emerald Claws are asleep, still. The billowing fog clouds touch the ground. Who is first to go in?
"Leap of faith, eh?"
She steps in.
Escher readies his blade and shield and steps in as well.
And it's like moving into a world, a place, out of time. You see dead people about who haven't decayed at all. The sky has these clouds about that are permanently ashen grey. There are two armies where you are. One a human army and another a hobgoblin army of mercenaries. Both are dead yet seem only dead in seconds.
"Big cousins did a bad it looks like" the goblin shrugs as the battlefield is observed
"Dis place is a bit creepy."
"Well. I have heard rumors of it being haunted.."
Okay, quick perception check everyone. And who ever has the map gets a +2 bonus. DC 13.
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Looks like you are too distracted to notice anything important, Escher.
Ayla is too distracted by the creepiness of the scene before her
