Had a bad period of no internet, but I am here. Will get caught up tomorrow for sure.

"If Khonnir came this way, it wouldn't be rusted shut. He must be in a different direction. We should move on."
"I am sure the Technic League keeps keen records on the local barbarian incomes... especially those of bearded bartenders who like to make friends with sadistic, ground-dwelling murderers."
Stepping forward towards the little corpse ahead,
Gavin picks up the creature's corpse.
Hallit: We should just engage them swiftly and be on with it. Every second spent here is one more Khonnir may not have.
These creatures appear to have no good nature. Killing them quickly is the fastest way to get to Khonnir. Talking to them will merely give them more time to plan how to attack us in their domain. I say we strike now while the advantage is ours.
Considering his cramped conditions, Gavin will wait for a chance to assist the others. Total defensive
Drawing his sword cane, Gavin takes a defensive position.
"Done and done. Next time, try thinkin' 'fore followin' an unknown creature. T' would have put a damper on your bearded shenanigans."
17 Perception. Nyssa, you should take a step back.
"No one travels alone in our group. You can show us equal respect and trust by having your leader come out to meet us the same as we are coming here to meet you. You are merely attempting to isolate us for some unknown reason."
"Those 'plates' happen to be very 'portant to Khonnir's research. They keep things like those robots powered up. I don't suggest you go tradin' them or sellin' them." Gavin speaks very powerfully on this matter, giving Kraig the "Universe unfolds with just a few wrong steps" look.
"I'm the only one any worse for wear so far as I can tell. Let's set up shop for a bit and get back on our feet."
"If'n you'll trust me, follow me." Putting a hand on Nyssa's shoulder, Gavin will prepare an action to lead her the twenty feet to the front if she so desires.
If Nyssa wants to go to the front: "Keep your weapon drawn. Creatures look small and simple like some sort of mold-like being."
"OR it is a ravenous, terra-dwelling monstrosity who knew full well that it was capable of killing everyone of us since the water here makes the surroundings sick. Otherwise, why would it wait at the entrance?"
"The creature was felled, Nyssa. I have a body here. I suggest you all take it easy right here with those of us with sight on watch."
Examining the body for a second, realizing it is not Khonnir or anyone he recognizes, Gavin will begin to analyze the potions, seeing them as the nearest thing to a clue for who this is.
"A wretched creature, that was." Gavin will use his cane to fish out the body. "Don't be Khonnir..."
Fighting defensively, Gavin swings for an overhead stab on the small frog-like being.
"I will not be cowed by a grimely!" Gavin charges sword cane drawn. Two uses of inspiration for +1d6 on attack roll.
Rearing back, Gavin will spit a globule of green adhesive directly at the amphibian-esque attacker.
Could be another wizard mishap with arcano-biology. Could also be Pathfinder Adventure Paths being super freakin' tough. Like Reign of Winter's Hunting Lodge in book 1. Six level 1 fighters, a level 3 cleric and two human skeletons all in one little building to four level 1 adventurers to fight.
"Abandon ship!" -anonymous
Taking a vial out of his jacket and imbibing it, Gavin maintains his defensive stance. "I am not a killer, but that creature isn't friendly like. If it was the social type, it wouldn't live under the ground. If it did, it would be dwarf or gnome."
Drawing his sword cane yet again, Gavin is going on the defensive.
"Could be the 'grimelies' the councilwoman told us about. Suppose there is no rest for the wicked. Let's be about it then." Moving along with Kraig.
"What offed this soul here has a greater chance of gettin' us as well with the water the way it is in my stomach. Don't know about the rest of ye, but Valt may have a point."
"Can a man get some help here... The grips are slick."
"Looks like we made it... Where is Alexis and Valt?"
"Ack! That tastes as bad as Val's cookin'. Goin' to be a bit 'fore can get that out of my mouth."
After seeing Aurusk dealing with his gear, Gavin will make sure all the stoppers are set and strike his sunrod.
Then Gavin pushes forth into the water. We don't come back, wonderin' who might be takin' care of that silly girl. Too late te be worryin' now...
"I have no fear of murky water, but I am not right stable with the concept of being t'e first to meet whatever is on the other side. Maybe Sir Aurusk," Turning to Aurusk " and I can go in a pair. Then we can cross this cess-stream fair solid in case there is a hazard."
"Before we make way, is there any other assistance you could provide us with? Even if it is just some more information, I be cog'n that every bit counts."
"Then when we get this going, we need to make a run for it just in case we need that last few minutes to make it back out."
Raising his hand up to his forehead in a vertical motion, fingers shaped as though wrapped around a handle, Gavin gives the customary prayer welcome to the Priest. Then he will step back in such a way to allow Aurusk to see his face (i.e. a semicircle) before speaking.
"Freddert volunteered your skills to help us breathe in the flooded tunnel. I actually have a concern though. If you do help us breathe under there, how are we going to swim back out without the same magic?"
"We should set out to meet Councilman Kyte so we can make headway. Val, keep the housefire burning. We'll be back with Khonnir before you know it. Right, guys?"
"We should just pack it up and keep it in the back for if we need the parts for something later."
"And for the record, I brought all these fine people to help search for your father this time. Worth more than any out-of-control backpack, kiddo. Now tell me. You have any idea on where Khonnir was going or what Khonnir was planning on doing before he set out this last time? If anything can you tell me anything about his first expedition? Anything he may have told only you?"
"How did this thing get activated, Val? Didn't Khonnir tell you to leave well enough alone... Silly girl. One day you are going to get yourself killed." With a large sigh, Gavin turns to face her. "But at least you are still alive. Like Valt says, you ok outside of being a little shaken up?"
Slashing vertically with one hand with his sword cane, Gavin will use the flanking attack to his advantage.
I am just the... Investigative type. (hahaha... I'll see myself out...) But seriously, I understand what you are saying. I just felt a little left out.
Is team green the left-overs or did we just not get the rumors everyone else got?
While trying to figure out what the automaton is, Gavin quickly raps his cane upon the ground, unsheathing the hidden sword within. He then moves (30ft closer preferably in a flanking position with pony) and looks for an opening.
"I knew something like this would happen."
"You are not going to like it when we get there. Or at least, I am not going to like it... Follow me. Have a good day, Councilwoman. We will be back as soon as possible with new of Khonnir or with the man himself, divines willing." Moving past Aurusk, Gavin locks his cane in between his left arm and ribs and walks out to lead the way to Khonnir's Inn.
Hallit:
"Androffan? That is a language I have heard much about recently. Khonnir goes on and on about it, but I ain't put much cog in't myself. Pleasure, Valt." "Aurusk, ye say? Rough soundin' name for what appears to be a rough lookin' fellow. You definitely seem a gentle man though, and that says lot right now." Taking Aurusk's welcoming gesture, he gives him a gentle handshake then turns to the lady.
Tipping his hat to Alexis, Gavin turns to the tough looking man speaking about the Gillmen.
