The Second Step

[bloodsprite]

Saai Vees, upon seeing the elven figure emerge, maintains her poised composure. She quickly assesses the situation, considering the lack of immediate hostility and the absence of overtly threatening gestures. Her keen intuition suggests this might be a moment for diplomacy rather than conflict.

As the elf addresses them in what seems like an accented Elven, Saai Vees gracefully assumes that the individual might speak with civility. In response, she offers a polite and formal greeting in Elvish, "Suilad, mellon. Ná lû e-govaned vîn, kinsman. We mean no harm and seek only passage through this place. Can we be of accord?"
Her words carry a tone of diplomacy and a genuine desire for understanding. Even if the communication is challenging due to accents and language variations, Saai Vees approaches the situation with grace and a willingness to find common ground.

   A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. This save is repeated on your turn each round that the creature remains within the area. A creature can walk within or through the area of ,i>grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balances check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).
   
   The DM should adjust saving throws by circumstance. For example, a creature charging down an incline that is suddenly greased has little chance to avoid the effect, but its ability to exit the affected area is almost assured (whether it wants to or not).
   
   The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item-a rope, ladder rungs, or a weapon handle, for instance.
   
   Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature receives a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and on grapple checks made to resist or escape a grapple or to escape a pin.

Feats / Abilities

FEATS FLAW: Improved LevitationImproved Levitation [General] You have learned to use part of your levitate spell-like ability at a time, allowing multiple uses with a shorter duration. Prerequisite:> Naturally able to levitate as a spell-like ability. Benefit: You may use your levitate spell-like ability in 10- minute increments instead of all at once. The number of times per day you may now use the ability at this shorter duration is equal to your caster level. For example, if you are an air genasi, you normally have the ability to levitate once per day as a spell-like ability as if cast by a 5th-level sorcerer, allowing you to levitate once per day for up to 50 minutes. With this feat, you can now levitate five times per day, each time for up to 10 minutes. If you could levitate more than once per day, multiply your caster level by the number of times per day to get the total number of shorter uses of levitate that you have. For example, a creature that could use levitate two times per day as a spell-like ability as if cast by a 5th-level sorcerer would be able to levitate 10 (2x5) times per day, each time for up to 10 minutes. Source: Underdark Wizard: Scribe ScrollScribe Scroll 1st: Cloudy ConjurationCloudy Conjuration [GENERAL] Your conjured creations and summoned beings appear in a puff of sickening black smoke, and you vanish in a cloud of the same when you teleport. Prerequisites: Spell Focus (conjuration) or conjurer level 1st Benefit: When you cast a conjuration spell, you can choose to have a 5-foot-radius cloud of sickening smoke manifest. The cloud can appear in your space, adjacent to you, or in the space of or adjacent to your target (if any). The cloud lasts for 1 round. Any living creature is sickened while inside it (but not after exiting). The cloud in all other ways acts like a small area of the fog cloud spell. Creatures immune to poison (S,G) are immune to the sickening effect. The cloud appears in conjunction with the spell taking effect (not before or after). Any creature you call or summon with the spell is immune to the sickening effect of the cloud. Special: A conjurer can select this feat as a wizard bonus feat.

Ruven is so startled by the sudden appearance of the elf that he is caught off balance. He can't tell if they are hostile, agitated, annoyed, or scared. Taking his cue from Saai he decides to approach it diplomatically. "Yes, we apologize for the disturbance, but we found the people who had been attacked and killed back there. There was a trail leading away from the battle scene and we followed it to this door. Do you know anything about what happened back there?" He tries to not stand too close to the elf, being cautious just in case they turn out to be hostile.

OOC:

Nothing to see here. Move along.

[bloodsprite]

Saai Vees responds to the irate elf, her voice steady and respectful, "Forgive our intrusion, kinsman. We are tracking a group that has been attacking adventurers. The trail led us to this door. We mean no harm and only seek passage. If our actions have caused any disturbance, we apologize. Can you enlighten us about this place and perhaps guide us on our path?"
Her words are diplomatic, conveying their peaceful intentions and the reason behind their actions. The emphasis is on seeking understanding and cooperation rather than confrontation. "There are two or more in the company of something that leaves a slime trail like a giant slug."

[Ruess]

The Lights In The Dark

 

He stands there, this surly elven figure, listening as each of you speaks up. Some of you - Mahdi - he almost tracks with a focucs in his eyes - and some - your dragon, who pipes up in Draconic, your wizard Ruven - he stares at with clear bafflement on his features. It is quite a sight.

Then Saai Vees and Doallyn both add in their words at full and this elf hides his face in a gauntleted hand followed by a pained groan. It is largely foillowed by him raising his arms at you, likely indicating a halt. You hear several groans as this elf, looks your group over, very clearly attempting to parse all your speeches. You can clearly see how the effort of wrangling the entire mess is giving him a substantial headache. Eventually, it seems that he finds some measure of focus because he looks up and begins to address your group.

First, he addresses Mahdi in Undercommon; as he speaks he gestures to his right, where the corridor seems to continue. He pauses for breath, and then adds.

Translation From Undercommon

"Right. So. Yeah. Alright. Alright. I take it you're the guy from the black market? You'll find Ratface down the corridor. Stick to the left side wall and dont wander through any doors. That one magic guy we brought in said something about illusions but didn't deign to actually say what they're actually about. Mandy lost an arm with one of the doors so Hells if I know."

[Pause for breath.]

"One more thing. Hells Bells you've got a pair on you to get an escort with a dragon and a drow. And just so we're clear, I'm not paid enough to do more than stand guard here. Any violence that happens past me is beyond me, yeah?"

With that all spoken, the elf switches to his northern Elven Dialect to address your drow and elemental-blooded wizard, with a tone that carries substantial frustration in it through any and all language barriers. In particular, you can see how those hands gesture with a speed and some heat.

Mahdi nods and looks very casual as if he expected exactly that address. He effects mock offense and smirks as he responds in the usual double speaking of smugglers and thieves.

The dragon continued to sit, not very subtly chewing down the few bites of stone he took out of the hidden door, masticating the inorganic matter with his magically hardened teeth until finally swallowing fist sized chunks of silica down his long neck to be dissolved in the furnace of elemental fire within his breast. The words the man spoke were familiar, he did once pick up elvish while traveling with his mentor, but like most of his memories that knowledge had faded with his diminished condition. Well, if his fraction of regained power was any indication, it would come back in time!

"Can any of you ask if he's seen another elf by the name of Aluric who might have come down here? Tall man, carries a symbol of Xymor - err, Bahamut to you less- two legged folks. Silver hair. Can't miss him!"

Regardless of if his question gets passed on, or not, the dragon will continue his vigil at the head of the group, his artificial scaled armor clinking not so subtly with every step of his long sinuous body.

Doallyn was less than thrilled with not having the slightest clue with what was being discussed. The fact that the man wasn't combative was a positive outcome but walking blindly into a situation wasn't exactly one he was thrilled about either. He paused not so quick to just follow into a hallway as some others might with no information.

Ruven backs off, trying to appear apologetic and heads off with the others, as the door closes behind them. He huddles everyone together not far from there to share and plan. "From what I gathered, it seems they are workers of some sort, which they believed we were as well. He mentioned what sounded like another entrance to the Undermountain, behind a mirror, and possible at a Weaver's shop, or a person named Weaver. He said we needed a necklace or ring. This could be some identifying item, possibly the "Leaf" we have searched for, or maybe some kind of protection item. Someone or something called 'Ratface' is down the hall to the left and whatever left this slime trail is down the hall on the right, in it's 'Pen'." Ruven looks at Saai and Mahdi expectantly. "I assume that was Undercommon you were speaking? What else did you get from him?" He also quietly says to Kald, "Unfortunately for you, I don't believe these are the kinds of people Aluric would be associating with."

He waggles his eyebrows to indicate the fate they should probably visit upon him. "He says all the doors along the way are illusions so...let's avoid those." He gestures the way forward.

Doallyn glanced back to where they had been with the lift and then back to the group.

And the ritual that was looking to be performed? Everything back the other direction we've already done?

He clicked his tongue in his cheek a moment.

Yes, lets wander down into the secret passage with no idea of the layout. Filled with illusion spells, and at least one thing that can take off an arm as a trap. A giant slug like monster. A unknown number of others, besides our new friend here, likely all less understanding or better paid. Meet with a man called "Ratface" under false pretense, which will probably fall apart if the lack of shared language skills continues in maintaining any sort of ruse among us. And look to possibly start a conflict with him. Just so I have a rough idea of what YOUR plan is here? I'm military. I like to have a plan.

Saai Vees, turns around thinking of something, she walks back, maintaining her diplomatic approach, subtly engages the elf guard in conversation. With a tactful demeanor, she inquires, "Honored guardian, we appreciate your assistance. May I ask if you are familiar with any rumors, specifically shards of metal with gems that might be associated with exerting control over individuals? Also, have you heard of a deck of cards with mystical properties capable of affecting those who use it? I would be grateful with my gold if you could find out something about these matters."
Her approach aims to gather information discreetly, respecting the guard's position and avoiding any unnecessary alarm. The intention is to extract valuable details that shed light on the mysterious and dangerous artifacts they are dealing with.
"If you do come across them, I don't recommend handling them though, they do seem to be doing harm to those that use them."

The guard looks bored at the face of Saai's courtesy, and a nudge annoyed that you people are still talking to him. Then, when Saai makes an indication at the money pouch... That's when there is a shift and that expression of annoyance becomes far more interested. He nods along when Saai motions with her coins and hands.

You have no doubt that you have awoken the guard's greed, and should be able to leverage that to your benefit here.

Saai has the guard's sole and unbroken focus.

First, the guard exclaioms something and follows it with a smile that reaches his eyes. He takes a moment to consider, hands twiddling as an indicator of serious thoughtwork in progress. Then, snapping his fingers, he answers something. After the first bout of words, he seems to indicate at your magicians and at your dragon in particular.

Then, another pause. His eyes go hither, tither, and his hands seem to graps at something as though in memory.

Translation From Elven Dialect 

Well! Now that you asked. Cards I don't know about but I might know a few guys who are in the card scece. If your ladyship has the coin I know they'll happily tell you everything about they know. Metals I don't know about, unless you're looking for discrete smiths. By the look of your mages and dragon here I don't think you're here to offload any shinies but I can give two good names for if you are looking for something shiny and exotic.

And.. There was a bag of gems that Ratface was gushing over. Just about wet his pants if you can believe it. I overheard him and Crow gushing how there was a big purple one there. Don't ask about it directly though, Ratface was very twitchy about it for some reason. Almost nailed that Tailor guy just for walking near it.

Saai Vees, appreciating the guard's cooperation, maintains her courteous demeanor. She nods in gratitude, acknowledging the guard's information. "Thank you, esteemed guardian, for your insights. Your assistance is invaluable to us. Here is a token of our appreciation." She hands the guard a few gold with a sincere smile.
"Your discretion is greatly appreciated, and we understand the matter's sensitivity. We'll proceed with caution and discretion in our inquiries. We would be grateful for your continued assistance if you come across any further details or individuals with knowledge.

Saai Vees gathers her companions after the conversation with the guard, ensuring privacy before sharing the information. Her tone is low, mindful of the sensitive nature of the topic.
"Friends, I've gleaned some information from our elven guard. We have potential leads on the artifacts we seek.

Saai Vees relays what the guard said.

"Let's proceed with vigilance, and if there's anything each of you thinks or knows that might aid us in this endeavor, now is the time to share."

Mahdi leads the way into the passage. As he reaches the guard he suddenly turns to gesture to his crew, a maneuver that discretely puts the tips of his fingers right at the pommel of his blade. "Come on then, we can't keep our business associates waiting can we?"

He talks casually to the man in Undercommon as if congratulating the guard on their recent windfall.

"هل نصبتم كمينًا لهؤلاء المغفلين المتعفنين هناك الآن؟ هل لديهم أي غنائم جيدة؟"

As the others filter through the door he, cool as a cucumber, steps aside like he's going to discuss some sensitive business connected with the bribery they have going on presently. The others will surely notice the amount of hand gestures that Undercommon employs in casual speech.

"يا صديقي، لنفترض أننا أردنا الذهاب للتنقيب في هذا المكان بعيدًا. بعيدًا عن منطقة طاقمك، ما هو كل هذا العمل "الورقي" الذي يجري هناك مع ذلك العمود المثير؟ لم يكن هناك الكثير من الأشجار هنا في آخر مرة. التحقق!"

The others might notice that, having stepped aside to allow room for them all to filter past, it sure would be easy to surround the guard on all sides.
