    Rik will just attack the same morlock as before. The bastard will regret laughing at his miss this time.

    If it is dead, he will move to the next one. If possible, make the next one one of the slingshot morlocks, assuming that's not already dead.

    Geronimo moves a little bit south and insults the slinger. The slinger resists.

    Rik sees Sakuya getting badly hurt. He feels guilty for leaving the spellcasters unguarded, even though he knows it wasn't his fault that there was an ambush. But he wants to do better next time.

    He will finish the northern slinger off with a spear attack, followed by an unarmed strike.

    If the slinger is already dead before his turn, he will use it to throw a dart on the morlock standing on the ledge above.

    Assuming he can move without taking an AoO, he will then move back to the entrance where the spellcasters are located, and try to position himself between them and the southern attackers. If he hasn't used his action yet, he will use his reaction to attack anyone who tries to hurt the rest of his party.

    Geronimo mocks the slinger in the south and once again the creature seems unfazed. Geronimo wonders if they might be not just blind but deaf also? But that would make no sense, since they communicate by sound.

    The morlock with the blowgun leaps down on Alissog. It grabs onto her shoulders and bites her face repeatedly.
    Spoiler: OOC
    Show
    6 damage


    Oren stabs the northern slinger until there's no more movement and then repositions as there's no opponents in immediate vicinity.

    Alissog pushed the gnawing morlock away from her, freeing herself from a grapple.

    Polari casts once more a batch of fire under the two remaining morlocks in the south. The slinger succumbs to the flames and turns into a writhing pile of coals.

    The souther morloc with the shield and club moves further north but can only reach Nodovico, who he proceeds to brain with his club. Whatever the contents of Nodovico's skull once were, they're now on the floor.

    Sakuya proceeds to throw a small flame into the morlock that leaped down. The fire catches the pale beast near it's hip and singes the creature severely.

    Rik rushes the only opponent in his range. The creature that jumped from above. The spearcharge hits the morlock in the guts and the creature gives a deathcry.
    Lacking an opponent to punch, with his unarmed attack, Rik gives Sakuya a high five.

    Only one monster is on the battlefield facing the group. It swings readily it's club, willing to take on all comers.

    Polari winces as their guide is brutally killed. He tries again to catch this last one in the bonfire.

    "Everyone back up. There's no point letting it swing its club at you."

    They then move away as far as they can from the southern shield bearer.

    Rik finishes high-fiving, then he notices the death of his guide. "Damn it! He didn't even want to be here, fighting. This isn't fair!" - he thinks.

    He is done playing. He's going to do the same thing to the creature's head that it did to Nodovico's.

    Oren stabs the clubwielding morlock in the face and the creature collapses.
    Rik violates the already dead morlock until it resembles mushed pillow.

    There's another string of yells in goblinoid from the north.
    Are you still alive there? I tried to lure some of them here but I failed. I really hope you're there. I could use a hand here!

    Rik calms down. This was rough. It wasn't the first time he had faced a life and death situation, but last time he was able to save everyone. He wasn't close to Nodovico, but losing the big guy made him feel powerless.

    As Geronimo negotiates, Rik will take his time to make a more thorough examination of his surroundings, including the area under the hole (he will approach the hole and examine the floor from above). Maybe there is something they didn't notice in the heat of the battle.

    The area down below has a sign on one wall that says
    We're open closed
    There's two nails where one could hang something to block one of the words.
    Everything down below is in ruins. There's a spot where you can see a pile of morlock poop where they've relieved themselves from the second floor.

    There's a path that moves eastwards in the first floor nearly at the same point as there's the opening in the second floor. It looks like they might go in the same direction.

    Meanwhile, the north passage turns out to be just a dead-end. There's a cooking area with a fire pit and above it some cracks in the ceiling where smoke might disappear. The fire pit seems to have been used not with wood but with oil. There's two large stone jars full of oil.

    The most interesting thing in the dead end though is a goblin who's head is visible while he's apparently standing in a large clay urn.

    He speaks common now
    Oi. I'm so glad to see a face with some color. Could you help little Snόt out?

    Oren moves towards Nodovico and tries to put him in a more dignified position, maybe laying straight with his arms crossed, and finds a quiet corned to let him rest. So that passing creatures won't stomp on the body. He thinks to himself "If I died in a dungeon, I wouldn't like to be left with my face in the dirt".

    He then covers the body with his old kitchen uniform and goes check on the goblinoid speaker at the north exit.

    Oren wonders why someone would eat goblin meat in a cave so plentyful of delicious ceiling crabs, but he quickly shakes off this thought.

    "Geronimo, Snόt is one of your kind. I'll trust your judgement on this matter. Should we break the jar? Do you think he's hiding a dagger, ready to stab us?"

    You help the goblin out. He is indeed lacking one of his legs from the knee down. The wound is recent, it's still dripping. His hands are captured in a kind of a spiked metal trap that holds onto both hands. It's a nasty looking device. Polari has seen such before and quickly figures out how to unlock it.

    There's a light that shines through Snόt's vest pocket.

    I'd like to get home alive. I thought I'm lost and dead...I did. Terrible job, never should have come here. Would you take me back to Luracidon if I gave you something? A charm, a magic?

    Thank you, thank you. You're really my only hope here so I lay my trust on you, brother.
    He picks from his pocket the glowing thing and passes it to either Polari or Geronimo. It's a pale yellow butterfly, that glows with the power of a continuous light spell.

    It starts to circle the character that reaches for it and allows itself to be placed in small (hopefully non-airtight) containers for storage. If directed it will move up to 10 feet to a direction before returning.


    If you're going to Chexxa, you should watch yourselves. There's corsairs there still and more importantly, plenty more of these morlocks. At least the ambush didn't work. I'm so happy you won!

    Take care then, my friend. We shall return to pick you up.

    Rik says that, as he finishes resting from the wound he took during the last battle.

    Rik moves towards Oren.

    - Uh.. good job with the distraction back there. I've completed the mission, we can share the reward when we get back
    .

    Those two ladies - he turns his head to Alissog and Sakuya - saw what we did, though. But I think I got them to agree to let it pass.

    Meanwhile, Alissog asks if her partner is okay. She seems to have gotten a lot of damage in the last fight. Watching Nodovico fall made her worried that more people could be lost, now. She better make sure this doesn't happen again.

    After a rest your group starts off again. You continue east and hope there's no branches since you're lacking a guide. There end up being some narrow side passages, like enlarged cracks in the stone walls but you choose to stay on the paved path.

    Eventually you come to a spot where the passage would start rapidly raising higher... But the rising floor's broken in a large section. There's no way to continue to the next section of the corridor. The hole in the angled floor though... it's clearly been made useful. There's a suspension bridge attached to the walls here.

    Looking over the sides of the bridge you can see an enormous cave. At the bottom of the cave, maybe 8 meters under you and 50 meters ahead of you is a stone building. In it's windows you can see light. This looks like your target.

    SCENE 3 - Chexxa

    The cave echoes. You can hear the distant sounds of morlocks babbling, screech, clicking. You can't make out individual sounds but their numbers must be many. The suspension bridge is attached to a large stalactite in the roof of the cavern and you can see that there's a platform there and other bridges that connect this platform to something else further on in the darkness.

    You've heard of entire suspended cities that morlocks make into the ceiling above the Shining sea. You hope you can avoid their attention.

    The bridges are made of some fiber that's unknown to you and bones. They seem sturdy enough and you dare to pass the bridge to the next platform. Here you see that one of the two next bridges connects to a platform right above the promising building. There's even a rope ladder that descends to the top of the building's third floor.

    As you're nearing the rope ladder you realize that the voices of the morlocks are getting louder, or possibly nearer. Also, the rope bridge sways from movements that are not your own. The bridges make a network and the vibrations are transmitted far. You suspect your movements have been noticed.

    Quickly you descend to the roof of the forge. There's a metal latch with a lock here. THe hinges of the latch don't look too strong, you could probably break it but not without making noise. The lock doesn't look particularly difficult either.

    But you can hear the yapping and clicking of approaching morlocks above you. You don't have too much time before you're at slingshot range.

    Neither Polari nor Geronimo will be helpful either picking a lock or breaking down a door.

    "I'll try to buy us some time with a distraction."

    Polari casts a couple of simple spells and a bonfire erupts at one of the entrances just where one of the bridges attaches. Almost immediately after that, the sound of a large combat comes from the hallway closest to the fire, including the sounds of screaming morlocks, imitating the shield bearer that cried out after the bonfire and vicious mockery in the last fight, and hopefully making the morlock's think they are under attack from another direction so they leave us alone.

    Geronimo sings a soft song to encourage whoever tries to break or pick the lock.

    Polari first casts create bonfire on the bridge. While he concentrates on that, he uses minor illusion to create the sound of a battle in the hallway past the fire.

    Geronimo has an 8 STR and no proficiency in thieves tools. He'll give Bardic Inspiration to whoever tries.

    If we are going to try to break the lock, Polari and Sakuya could alternate ray of frost and produce flame to try to weaken the lock with alternating temperature extremes first.

    Alissog will try to break the lock with her Greatsword. It should make some noise, but hopefully she can pull it off in the first try so the rest of the party can get in fast.

    Rik will look around, and try to see if there are any enemies ready to ambush.
