Boris gazes at Na'im as the other cleric's words register and then at Rillo, "'The roller of a stone will have it roll over them; the digger of a trap will fall into it.' Sayings of Molonos section twenty six, stanza twenty seven. Rillo has chosen the path of the Red Assassin, if this is where it has brought him, then so be it. The scroll of Sleep, Master Bookeater. If the dwarf desires a scroll, let him speak, If not we shall take our leave."

"But they had a contract to remove the druid, who just so happened to be setting up vines to block our way when pursuing the assassins, seems strange that the Druid, a target of the assassins, would want to assist in their escape. Plus remember that they helped us track down the other assassins. I agree we've fulfilled our end of the contract, but should we let another man suffer simply because we turned a blind eye?"

Skrall attempts to brush the Bloody Bugs off of him repeating his attack. "Pesky parasites."

Boris nods his head in understanding to the doctor, "Excuse me a moment." Quietly the cleric motions to Germ, "You best figure out what's in that pouch" The vampire pulls Na'im and aside and silently converses with the Fenarian. "What are your thoughts? How can Rillo not be sure of his own name? The assassins kept mentioning Zug, and Rillo here seems pretty unsure of everything before he arrived. Not to mention the doc seems pretty hasty to kick us out of here."

Swinging tools and spells, the Party makes its way through the rubble clearing a path and opening the tunnel back up. Nur, Atramor, and Ellaria all feel more confident in their abilities and more experienced from the climb. Ahead, the Party notes the tunnel opening up and a large trestle supporting a good deal of railroad tracks that scatter off into the distance. At the base of the trestles the Party spy a small Fungoid with a panicked look on his face. Yellow spores fill the air and the heroes feel a sense of dread and fear wash over them. "Help!!!!"

"Hold up a second doctor. Something isn't adding up, why do you keep calling him Rillo, his name is Zug. Plus the only way he would have contracted the red death is if he didn't finish an assignment and last we checked it seems you were the one preventing him from completing his assignment? Did you actually inflict the red death upon him?"

"I'll handle the bloody ones." Skrall loads his Hunter's Crossbow and fires at Bloody Bug Mob from the back row.

QM Note: A pair of 1x2 bricks is equivalent to a 2x2 rounded brick. Essentially each space is 2x2 square.

"I wouldn't trust someone from Krumpknob with a garden trowel, much less a piece of heavy machinery. This isn't the only tunnel to Brumpknob, but it's one of the less perilous ones. Let's take a closer look at the damage done." The Party inspects the inner layout of the tunnel, careful not to disturb any of the rubble in case of further collapse. "Huh, most of these beige boulders seem movable if we give them a push. Between the troll, the mage, and if any of you have a pick-axe or shovel handy, I think we could clear a path through." QM Note: If it isn't clear, the Party starts at the yellow X. You can move any of the tan boulders one square at a time, but you can only push them. Shape of the boulder is irrelevant. In order to allow equal access to XP, you'll each have 24hrs to PM me your solution.

With help from both Atramor's summon and Nur's magic, the Party manages to extricate the dwarf from the rubble. Ellaria revives the miner with a potion and observes the good deal of rubble still within the tunnel. "Oh my aching head." "What happened in there?" "Don't rightly know, I was standing here at the entrance when I heard that large rumbling sounds. Next thing I know I'm buried under half the mountain. Not sure if there's anyone else in there."

OoC: Boris words were to finish up with the pouch before moving on, which would indicate Germ had plenty of time to figure out what was inside it. Your call, but just wanted to clarify it wasn't Boris's intention. "We ran into some issues with the actual assassins. Fear not though, your potion is intact." Boris hands the Elixer to the doctor.

Boris turns back, "What did you think you were signing up for?" Boris pauses for a moment, considering his next statement, "Heroes take the hard route even to their own detriment, if you were looking for something different you came to the wrong place."

You say it like that's a bad thing.

Nur can see that most of the rubble has settled though it is composed of some heavy boulders and large slabs of stone. Ellaria only gets a slight grown from the dwarf who is most definitely trapped beneath a giant boulder. "Ug."

Boris turns his back on the dwarf. "Germ finish up with that pouch and let's head back to the doctor."

Boris looks at the Spiderling for a while, before pulling out the cloak and handing it to Nalguz. "As you should, take care in the future, I can't say all those in Heroica are going to be so lenient." "Perhaps I like my lunch a little fresher, Dwarf." Boris throws the hand cannon at Mhinak's feet. "Nalguz has seen the errors of his ways, something I would have expected more readily of you. If they had had the gold you would still have been of the opinion we should take their offer, I'm sure our employer will be overjoyed to know that."

Skrall dusts himself off before handing 1000 Gold to each of his companions, before downing a Mead himself. "Don't think I could carry this all with me. I could do with a bit of challenge, you feel up for leading us on Althior?"

The Party rushes to the scene of the disturbance. Arriving near Meladonna's surplus the Party sees a good deal of rubble that has spilled out of one of the extensive tunnels. "Cave in. Well that certainly might make it difficult to get out of town."

As the Party begins to exit the tavern they notice Dumora walking towards them, a pack upon her back and two scroll tubes at her side. The vindicator removes two pieces of parchment and presents them before the Party. "As I promised: maps. Here's one of Krumpknob and another of the entire under-mountain." "Now, if you're all ready, we'll head..." A loud rumble followed by what sounds like an explosion can be heard coming from the center of the city as the docks begin to sway. A thick cloud of dust begins to rise from somewhere near Meladonna's Surplus. What shall the party do?

The mouse man shrugs his shoulders but smiles. "..." QM Note: I'll wait to see if Atramor wants to do anything else before moving you folks on.

"Just hold a second, I want to hear what these two have to say for themselves." Boris also stowed the Red Elixer in his pack.
