"Hello, barrow hound. We do not mean you any harm, were just passing through and looking for someone. Do you think we can come to an agreement?" Stochelo calls out in Sylvan to the creature.

"I'm ready, let's go." Stochelo stands next to the door, blade at the ready.
"Kinda suspicious this is the one door locked in the whole place. Must be something interesting beyond. Or maybe just incredibly dangerous."
"After you..." Stochelo draws his rapier and prepares to move in with the others.
"More mechanicals? Oh great. I thought this sorceress was all about the evil shadow magic and such."
"Luckily for me only Elduin got snagged but that ooze could have been the end of any of us."

Stochelo pulls out a trail ration package and opens it up. "Sorry, no frosted cakes, but this will keep you sustained at the least."
"This place is not on the First World, you have found your way to the Material Plane, somehow. I don't know if that rift you found remains open, or where it might be, but I will be glad to help you get back if I can. As for food, what do you eat? We have some food we can share, if your metabolism is similar to our own."
Stochelo calls in Sylvan: "Hello, Mister Grodair. We have returned, and still mean you no ill will. Would you like to converse at this time?"
"We could go back and pick a fight with that floating guy. I think that might be our only way forward at this point."
"Luckily we didn't get so banged up we can't continue. Too bad this place is so trashed we can't get anything useful.outnofnir just now. Oh well, shall we carry on?"
"Luckily the only hitni took was that thing exploding in splinters. And I managed to dodge the worst of it, I think. I might need to learn this spell, by the way. It makes adventuring without a divine Caster a lot more palatable."
"Yeah, that would be great. Thanks."
Yeah, lucky for us it was a wooden one. And we all still took quite a beating at the time!
"Indeed! My rapier was never going to get through that thick wood. Good work, both of you." Stochelo examines himself for further damage from the exploding golem, sheathing his weapon before he scans the room. "Jeez, just imagine how nasty that thing would have been at its creation."
"Great! Of course my only attack spell today is electricity! Anyone got any alchemist fire? That mephit still around?"

Stochelo remains quiet, hoping not to blow the deception.
Stochelo steps back from the doorway, letting the tip of his blade droop slightly. "As the boss says, get while the getting is good. "
"Gah!" Stochelo stands back and does not attack. "So...it seems like you're not immediately hostile. Do you speak Common, or some other language?"
Stochelo stands at the ready, blade up. He takes a more defensive than aggressive stance, hoping the creature or person behind the barrel is not hostile but merely scared. "Whoa...easy there..."
"Wing? Oh. Uh, I'd suggest you come out and play nice, else we might have to end you like the rest of the enemies we've encountered."
"Nope, not sure at all. I would be surprised if its not some kind of supernatural phenomenon, to be honest."
"Uh...hello? Anyone in there?" Stochelo peers in and sends in some dancing lights to illuminate the small area.
"Well, I would guess its another trap, but let's do it." Stochelo draws his rapier and uses another of his magical tricks to recall his electricity spell.
"I dunno what this chest is for, but its the source of the magical aura in the room. Let me see if I can determine anything about the aura, and then we can decide if we open it or what." Stochelo uses detect magic and concentrates to identify the aura he'd detected earlier.

"Wheee....this looks like quite a mess. What in the world was this place, eh?" Stochelo let's out a low whistle before casting detect magic and scanning the room.
"Onward we go, then."
Stochelo translates the creature's threat and fear of traps. "Its afraid of us. I don't know how successful I be in diplomacy, but I'll give a go." In Sylvan: "Perhaps we can provide some assurance? We mean you no harm, and just wish to pass through here. Can we aid you in some fashion?"
