The Search for Mika

[Prehysterical]

Ogrin's face is red and twisted into a gnarled sneer, but the elf actually speaks for both of them for once. They had come back to honor their word, to help find the missing man! And he would have gladly helped find the missing boy! The thought of fighting the peasants never crosses his mind (or rather, he has no desire to kill them), but he is ready to turn around with Cyran when one of the farmers beseeches them. With a heaving sigh, Ogrin turns around to look at the desperate farmer. Family was family...

"All right, we'll find your son and we'll look for Mika, as we already promised you. If I hear that you start something with the orcs, I'll kick your arse. If I hear that they start something, I'll kick their arses. In fact, I am in a particularly foul mood today. If I feel that you are all being too bone-headed, I'll kick all your arses! There's more than enough skulls here to crack together and believe me, I've got plenty of frustration go around. And I will! Don't believe me? Ask the elf." Ogrin stops and looks at everyone around him. "Am I being perfectly clear?"

Is there a reason that the orcs aren't talking?

"If he says we will help you, we will help you. We don't know the orcs well enough to vouch for them long-term, but as I said, they did not attack us. And if they attack you, we will defend you and help you drive them away. If you attack them, though, we will defend them. Now, where was Thomas last seen? And have there been any further clues about Mika?" He looks to the villagers and the orc to make sure that arrangement is acceptable.

The orc who didn't have any weapons on him besides a dagger moved towards the farmer who spoke about his son Thomas. I am Ga Ree, I too have lost a son, when our home land was invaded by lizardfolk. I will help find him.

[gryffydd65]

The farmer takes you back over the river and past a huge manor house that sits on the riverbank. Two hours further you come to the Shrines. Each god has a small temple set in a circle.

This is where Thomas was going. He loved to look at all these carvings when he was a lad and he came recently to find meaning in his dreams.

As Cyran was making his way from one shrine to the next , he could see disturbances in the soil in front of six of the Shrines but when he got to the shrine of the wayward traveler(I haven't picked a god for this don't have time) the ground is more furrowed and disturbed.

((Lathander, Lliira, Mielikki, or Silvanus all sort of work. There's also Shaundakul who didn't make it into official 5e but seems like a good fit.))

When Cyran points out the disturbance in front of the seventh shrine, Ogrin tries to see if anything leads away.

I guess I watch to much Bones the tv. Show. You know that all people wear hard heel boots.And there are two furrows about two feet apart.

[gryffydd65]

Ok so that clue didn't spark any ideas. Make an investigation check 16

[Bobthewizard]

((investigation (1d20)[7] So are there any other tracks going along with the furrows? Does it look like someone was drug out with their boots dragging on the ground? Is there a path for us to follow or did the tracks stop?))

The furrows stop right it front of the shrine to the wayward traveler. Going towards it not away.

[gryffydd65]

Ooc hmm not sure what more I can say with out giving it away. So if you both post "no idea what to do" , then I will move on.

Ga'Ree looks very closely at the shrine and the furrows , he starts pressing on different carvings and a small popping sound goes off and the face of the shrine moves revealing a spiral staircase going down.

The carvings hadn't looked like buttons to Cyran. Whoever said orcs were dim must have been wrong. "Nice job, Ga'Ree. Would you like to lead the way or would you like Ogrin or I to go first? Would anyone else like to join us?" Once everyone has chosen to go or not, and a marching order has been set, Cyran and Swift Arrow go down the stairs with the others.

As you all descend the stairs, the faint sounds of tinking can be heard down the forty foot corridor. The stairs went down about 20 feet.

These walls were carved out by human hands and not dwarven. The tunnel T's at the end of the end with passages to the left and right. Both tunnels continue past your dark vision and the mining sounds come from both directions.
