The appetizing scents of fresh tofu, candies and beer permeate this room. Silvertree Tofu is a clean shop filled with comfortable—if well-used—furniture, some worn throw rugs, and a counter filled with freshly stocked tofu and other treats. Wooden placards on the wall list a variety of local dishes, along with tea and local beer and sake. Despite being locked, this shop looks like it is ready for business.
There is a door on the back wall obviously leading to the kitchen. There is also another closed door on the back wall.
DC 17 Perception:
You discover a secret door behind the bar...
Map is linked at the top of the page. Please determine who's in front. I'm assuming that if you come to a door, the lead person will pull the door open unless you specify otherwise.

"If there's one thing I know my way around, it's a sake bar!" Glim enthuses. He circles the bar to look for a few cups and discovers a secret door as he's sniffing various sake bottles. "Ah, I bet this is where they keep the good stuff!"
I'm going to assume you're all following Old Glim here...
Old Glim finds a flight of steps going down. Behind another door, you find a room full of marble columns.
Heavily scuffed marble that’s seen better days covers the floor of what was clearly once some sort of ceremonial hall. There are lamps in the alcoves and their light reveals bits of uneven raised floor where statues once stood. Crude graffiti bearing names and rude pictures cover every pillar, but underneath the dirt and graffiti are pictographs and the carved faces of hobgoblins.
DC 18 Society or DC 14 Hobgoblin Lore:
You realize that this room used to be a community hall for a short-lived Rahk Lo hobgoblin trading post that was once here. This was supposed to be a community room used to impress guests.
If you can read Goblin:
Spoiler:
You realize that the pillars include poems of welcome and the statement of peaceful intentions.
Apart from the stairs leading back up to the main floor, there appears to be a door on the western wall.
"I think you are right about this being a meeting room, but I cannot read goblin," Rethersfell notes. "I believe the same also happens to be true for most goblins."
Hold on -- Hadrimos, are you referring to the western door on the main floor? Old Glim found a secret door leading to the columned area which is where everyone is congregating. That columned room also has a door on the western wall... (Just making sure we're talking about the same door!) :)
Hadrimos opens the door and finds a flight of steps down. Taking the flight of steps, he reaches another door and opens it. Save for sliding door cupboards along the walls, this room appears completely empty.
Hadrimos:
From your vantage point, you see a long hallway leading to the other end of the floor. Looking right, there's a door. You can also see a door down the corridor.
If you like, you can indicate how you'd like to explore. Also please indicate exploration activities if they're going to be different from your statblocks.
BK always scouts. He is far to curious to play it safe and tends to wander off if he sees something interesting. That is also why he tends to be towards the back of the party, constantly pausing to investigate some new distraction.

Taking a long drink, Hadrimos seems almost meditative when he strains to open the trap door. Then, once opened, he wipes his mouth and lets out a long burp.
In that case he checks out the door, pillars, odd looking scratch marks that look like a gnoll might have made it, strange stains on the floor. Whatever captures his attention and might (but probably are not) magical.
Old Glim and Hadrimos manage to force the trap door open. You see a pit that's about 30 feet deep with some water at the bottom. As the door opens, spouts emerge from the sides of the pit and begin pumping water into the pit...
As you stare at such a diabolical trap, you hear footsteps. A pair of halflings and a tengu come around the corner. They have drawn weapons and sinister grins on their faces. "Looks like we've got some playmates. Oh look, they look fascinated by our little pool. Maybe they would like to swim in it?"
The tengu raises his bow and sends three arrows at H,O:1d2 ⇒ 1
Shortbow vs Hadrimos AC 21, OG:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 for Piercing:1d6 ⇒ 2 Shortbow vs Hadrimos AC 21, OG, MAP:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 for Piercing:1d6 ⇒ 1 Shortbow vs Hadrimos AC 21, OG, MAP 2+:1d20 ⇒ 11 for Piercing:1d6 ⇒ 4
Sneak:1d6 ⇒ 4
One arrow slices into Hadrimos' arm but he easily avoids the other two.

Apologies for the delay. Last week was extremely toxic at work. This week isn't much better but it's improving.
BK, who was previously preoccupied with a spider climbing the wall, turns in alarm. Quickly reassured that as the member LAST in line he was in no danger of getting his feet wet, much less drowning, takes out his ever present flute and starts encouraging the others in less enviable positions. With a flurish he sends a wave of cold at red.
Unable to see all of the foes and confined to the hallway, Rethersfell begins to cast a spell.
◆◆◆ Cast summon construct; location of construct indicated with green dot on map
BK inspires his comrades and drops a cold spell on Red. Red appears to be caught completely by surprise. His skin appears to harden to the point of being brittle.
Rethersfell summons a construct to help.
I'm going to assume it's a broom and not the inkdrop
Blue drops the weapon he's currently holding and pulls a staff with some sort of elastic on it. He loads it and launches a rock at C,H,O:1d3 ⇒ 1
Sling Staff vs Broom AC 15, 80' Range, Reload 1:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 for Bludgeoning:1d10 ⇒ 6

Kimmo has the Quick Jump skill feat and his speed is 30', so I think he can get across the pit with an action left to Strike blue or yellow (free action to rage, one action to Stride, one action to Leap).
With a shout that echoes through the room, Kimmo leaps across the pit and lands next to the remaining halfling and the tengu.

Jortix reaches through the darkness and grabs tendrils of magic, than she sees future movements of one of the enemies, using it to her advantage she sends a big rock where blue should be
Kimmo jumps the pit and makes a mighty swing at Blue, who ducks and sticks his tongue out... only to eat Jortix's rock right in the face, felling him instantly. Old Glim flings magic at the Tengu who doesn't move after seeing Blue get his face smashed in...
Coming to his senses, Yellow drops his bow and attacks Kimmo with his beak.

Exploit Vulnerability, Stride, Strike
Glim scratches his head, thinking about things tengu don't like. "Spiders, or do spiders not like them? I can never remember."
Exploit Vulnerability (Esoteric Lore):1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 Gains weakness 3 (or more, if it has weaknesses)
An animated broom (green dot) appears as the result of Rethersfell's summons. The construct sweeps closer to the remaining foe and then bears its bristles!
Stride Melee, bristles +6 (agile, magical, finesse):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Damage, bludgeoning plus dust:1d4 ⇒ 1
Dust A creature hit by an animated broom's bristles must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save or spend its next action coughing. Even if hit by multiple dust attacks, the creature has to spend only 1 action coughing to clear the dust out. A creature who doesn't breathe is immune to this effect.
The gnome creeps to the edge of the room and sustains the spell.
Stride Sustain
BK continues piping away, inspiring all to heroics, and moving up to where he can see stuff. Of course that leaves him with no time to cast an offensive spell so he just casts a shield cantrip instead.

"Let me through, let me through!"
Jortix runs forwards and jumps above the trap ... right next to the wall. Jumping next to the corner, which I think would count as 5 ft which you can do with 1 action jump having 25 move + 1 move to well get there
Than she sends some healing magic towards Hadrimos Fast healing 4 for 4 rounds
Hadrimos easily jumps the pit. However, he is unsuccessful in hitting the remaining bandit, though he manages to tumble through the birdman's space. Kimmo joins the fray and succeeds only in generating wind with his sword, something the tengu found refreshing.
Old Glim thinks for a bit, trying to discover if the tengu has a weak spot somehow.
Old Glim:
No remarkable weakness
Striking with his starknife, Old Glim also fans the bird.
BK continues to inspire his companions while Jortix rushes to the front lines. She casts a healing spell on Hadrimos to prop him up during combat.
Rethersfell's broom joins the fray but also fails to connect.
wow. your dice all froze! :)
"SQUAWK! Dust? You want dust? Ok, try this!" Yellow says, pulling out a fan. He waves it and causes a small magical breeze that kicks up dust in a 5-foot burst. All creatures inside the burst are concealed and all other creatures are concealed to them.
