Wow, well I certainly understand that. Smooth sailing, thanks for the game!

Leta continues singing inspirationally.
Leta will take a 5' step backward and begin singing an inspiring song, +2 to Hit and Weapon Damage for allies.
Leta will move 10' and cast "ear piercing scream" down the narrow hallway at the shadow in question.
Leta holds her sword at the ready and keeps her eyes open.
Does that mean incorporeal and all the headache that comes along with it? Well, at least you're not playing a Rogue in this ga...
Oh. Errr. Nevermind.
Leta nods. Sensing they were preparing for a fight, the Bard of the Woods cast Bear's Endurance on herself, bolstering her stamina for battle.
Leta follows Nadiya back out.
"I've got your back, Nadiya," Leta says, drawing her sword. The bard will follow Nadiya in 10' behind when she enters.
Hearing this, Leta waits for the others to catch up and then turns north.
If Leta reports on a nearby academic district, Nadiya suggests they might find records of how the place was constructed.
"Hmmm. Laws or scholarship?" Leta sends back via Nadiya's message spell, gesturing to each direction so Nadiya understands it's a nascent choice.
Having no abilities that could be of more than marginal assistance in blocking off the door, Leta accepts Bashuk's work and lowers her bow. If the creatures break out and attack the party later, we'll deal with it then. "We should definitely remember this location, though, to Orc leaders above of the presence of this threat."
"Seal them, if we can," Leta nods. "They'll likely get out over time, it's less sure a death sentence than killing them outright."
Leta waits, her bow partially drawn. She stands ready to assist in a missile attack if asked, but does not relish attacking sleeping creatures, regardless of potential future risk.
Leta moves up behind to cover Bashuk with her bow.
Leta shudders at the idea of her prize sword Stormpiercer being destroyed by some sort of rust monster. She had gotten that blade long ago from the cave or a rather murderous Ogre from which she'd rescued a small forest village.
"Indeed. Let's move on." Since the Countess appointed Leta lead, she walked out of the hall and, as soon as the others were accounted for, headed off for the door to .
"I was just wondering that myself. I do not know your culture; it seems a lot of effort for such small amounts of base metal."
Leta will move back and examine the door to area 21, checking for any traps or instabilities that might trigger on opening it.
Great news, though I'd have understood if you'd chosen otherwise. DM burnout is real. In any case looking forward to continuing.
Do as you need. I almost stepped away from DM'ing myself a while ago, but some changes occurred that made me decide to keep going. Thanks to Hassan for inviting me over. If we keep going, I'm definitely still up for it. Leta's a fun character to play, and the setting is interesting. As a side note, 5 years on the same campaign is pretty impressive on these boards. I think I'm just approaching 2 years on mine, and most of the previous ones were a year or less.
Leta heads off into the gloom, waiting until she hears the others following before going far.
"Yes, Countess," Leta says nervously. She stows her bow and draws her magical shortsword, in case something jumps out at her.
My bow and bardic music and spells work from most anywhere, so those are fine with me.
Not much help here, but I'll look around, see if I can find anything that stands out, disturbed dust and the like.
Leta, bow in hand, begins humming an inspiring tune as they approach.
Thumbs up.
I'm not worried about the level of healing we currently have for my character. Either option is fine with me.
CLW also on my spell list (weirdly); so I could potentially use a CLW Wand as well (RAW seems to make no distinction between divine and arcane for wands, unless the DM rules otherwise, in which case it would have to be arcane for both Nadiya and Leta, I believe).
Lol. Yeah, suddenly a bard comes out of nowhere, and she can see just fine in this darkness.
Considering the DM's commitment to wealth-building opportunities, Leta will throw in up to 70 platinum (350 gp) for equipment.
Also not rolling in the dough; just over 400. Not sure if I've forgotten to add something or we just haven't gotten actual money from encounters. Not complaining; I've definitely got a reasonable amount of gear. Just pointing out I'm not able to bankroll much of anything.
Leta cannot do those, but (in keeping with her vampiric heritage) does have Gaseous Form, which will allow slow flight in an emergency. I can also get a fly and climb speed out of Vermin Shape I (as a Druid spell accessed through my Voice of The Wild archetype).
Leta shrugs. "Dwarves don't live in forests, I don't know..."
Whispering to Valeska: "Perhaps this is not our place to investigate, being a political envoy, but, might we not ask if there is a known entrance to the undercity that most certainly exists here? I feel that with our abilities, station notwithstanding, we might be able to seek out a cause of these quakes, and at least be able to report that cause back. As a gesture of goodwill, of course."
Leta listens to all, trying to understand the gravity of the situation. She is much more at home in backrooms with common folk than in thronerooms with kings and such. The bard stands ready to follow Valeska's lead.
Very nice.
Leta listens. All of this high talk is above her head. Her station is with the people in the streets.
Leta takes in the plaza and makes a mental note to compose a song about it someday. In her eyes it is one of the most beautiful expressions of civilization she's ever seen, though it could use more plants and trees.
Leta is weary, having traveled all day, but traveling at night inspires her with a new energy.
Leta knows little of Orcish culture, but tries to sing an inspiring tune as the travel along.
Yoitabiwo!
I got a chunk of change in the form of 77 platinum, but I'm not jumping up and down to donate all of it. I'll give 350 gp worth to the cause tho. I'm hoping the Countess can talk them down, Leta's babbling attempt at aid another notwithstanding.
Leta holds her breath, ready to aid the Countess in any diplomatic endeavors. Leta herself is much better at lies and manipulation. Diplomacy (unskilled) aid another:
"Bandits? Scouts?" Leta asks Nadiya quietly while carefully retrieving another arrow from her quiver and holding it with the bow in her hand. She refrained from nocking the arrow just yet to avoid tipping off their opponents.
Healing and recovery to all. Have a restful weekend.
In round 2, Leta keeps singing, and attacks with her bow:
Leta will begin Inspire Courage (+2 morale bonus to hit and damage).
