“Patience Sam,” Hawkes grins. “We still don’t have terms.”

"Terms, you say? We would be more than happy to offer a full suite of typical resupply that we see from other maritime visitors, and more. On top of that, how does a purse of a hundred pieces of platinum sound?"
Proctor beckons to one of the nearby staff who brings over a tray of small glasses and a crystal carafe of amber liquid.

Abigail munches a roll and sips red wine. She watches the negotiation with feigned interest. Platinum is no longer her concern. She cares about the innocent souls of the keep, which must be protected from those unspeakable horrors outside.

Kruhl enjoys the food and dwarven company. He isn't much concerned about trading rights or supply fees. The Gods' favor is all that concerns him.

Re: In the Intest of aid
Gamble goes on to fill the glasses and hand them down the table to everyone to seal the deal as he continues, "You are doing a great thing for the people of this city. I knew we could count on you. Once you have dealt with the immediate threat, we can safely send out a team to reseal the tunnels. That should suffice for the short term and our city can continue as we have been."
He holds his glass outward, ready to quaff it.

He downs his drink as well and smiles widely as he reaches for more food. The meal goes on with whatever conversation you would like. Gamble shares a discrete route to the temple. Feel free to ask questions, gameplan, rp, whatever. The evening is yours.

It finally dawns on Crispy what has been bothering him. Before the party leaves the table he speaks up, “Can we...umm...see the chest?”

Re: In the Intest of aid
"Ah yes, tall one. The chest." Gamble turns to one of his aides and nods for them to retrieve the chest. As they leave Gamble continues, "Quite a strange thing it is. Our best and brightest have yet to tell me anything useful about it, but it can't hurt to let you all inspect it as well."
After another serving of roasted meats, the aide returns with the chest and an entourage of soldiers.
The chest is made of knotted wood and banded in iron. It is approximately 18"l x 12"w x 12"h. Interlocking iron runes cover all four sides and the top. The runes are intricately crafted and depict fantastic sea creatures, ocean waves, storm clouds, some sort of fortress, and ocean going vessels without sails. There is no keyhole or apparent way to open the chest. There is a palpable energy that falls over the area when the chest is brought closer.
"Have a look, then."

Re: In the Intest of aid
No perception roll necessary, as you have all the time you want to look it over.
Sam can see that the runes are mechanical in nature and moveable. He assumes they can be rearranged into different patterns. There does not appear to be any keyhole.

Assuming nobody can read the runes, Kruhl suggests, "perhaps we will find more information in the tunnels. We should be alert for similar runes."

Abigail can read Elven and Aquan. Any hits of comprehension of the runes?

After everyone studies the chest for as long as they'd like , the group concludes that nobody is able to read any language or decipher any of the runes.

Hawkes plays along. But he knows what it is. This is part of or a key to Rogans lost Dwarven treasure. Whatever we do here, we must see everything inside that chest when it is opened.

Hawkes takes his long rest. He ponders the plausible connection between squid faced mind invaders and the kraken. Will our mission displease Elyssiss? I will not bring this up to Renda just yet. If he has tied us to them we will need to save him from himself.

Re: In the Intest of aid
I will see if I can handle all the mapping myself, but it is nice to know I can recruit some help. This is likely my most ambitious series of encounters as a GM. Thanks for your patience everyone. I'm ready to continue.
Crispy has his snack, Sam finds some rope to use, The party follows a discrete tunnel system towards the temple per Gamble’s instructions. Back outside, down an alley, and into a mostly dry underground viaduct. Small puddles of stagnant water spash underfoot unless you take care of where you step. The walls have a fairly low waterline above which moss is ever present. The tunnel varies anywhere from 10 to 25’ wide with a ceiling low enough to make it somewhat uncomfortable for anyone over 6’ tall and claustrophobic for everyone. It is pitch black, apart from the small flame provided by Crispy. Who all has visual abilities (i.e. darkvision etc)? Also, just to be sure, our default order is Sam on point with Hawkes, Crispy is a few yards back, Abagail trailing Crispy, and Kruhl at the rear?

The tunnel continues for quite some time and slopes slightly uphill. Sam is doing his best to look and listen as the group pushes forward, but there lies nothing ahead but darkness.
Until he sees, in the distance, that the tunnel comes to a T.
