You are in the hallway moving forward
Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 17]
Craigh: stops to look and listen before moving on.
The chamber is filled with scattered tools for digging and stone masonry. There are shovels, pickaxes, hammers, drills, chisels, baskets, and so forth, many sized for giants, others for smaller creatures. The door to the north is locked with a huge padlock.
Craigh: Looks safe
Bixi Fizzlebang: trying to follow
Craigh: I'll go try the lock
Branwyn: Good
Branwyn: Perhaps listen at the door too? We've heard strange noises at some of these doors
Craigh: will do
Craigh: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 5) [FAILURE by 94] [d100 = 99]
Craigh: puts his fingers in his ears
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]
Craigh does not hear anything
Craigh: tries the lock
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Open Locks [PERCENT:Open Locks] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 30] [d100 = 45]
the lock is still locked
Craigh: Nope, sorry.
Branwyn: Youtargim! Come up here and open this lock please
Indigo: whispers
Indigo: Why don't you just do it?
Branwyn: Shhh.. they need to practice
Craigh: steps out of the way.
Looks at Rae; Lets see if I can open this one
Youtargim: [SKILL] Open Locks [PERCENT:Open Locks] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 6] [d100 = 16]
Youtargim: Grrffff
Youtargim: I thought it might work
Looks over at Craigh
Youtargim: How often do you practice with these?
Branwyn: All right. It must be a terrible lock
Craigh: Not often.
Youtargim: Does anyone else practice with these?
Branwyn: [CAST] Knock
Youtargim: HEY!
Youtargim: Maybe it was on delay?
Youtargim: Never heard of that before
Youtargim: But let's go see what is in here
Branwyn: smiles
Branwyn: After you
Youtargim: Indigo? do you think there is anything down there?
Indigo: A fork in the passage!
Indigo: Down where? Left or right?
Indigo: Craigh which way should we go?
Youtargim: there is a door let me see if the lock works the same way
Youtargim: [SKILL] Open Locks [PERCENT:Open Locks] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 7] [d100 = 17]
The door to this room is padlocked.
Youtargim: Youtargim opens the lock
In addition to several large casks, 11 big barrels, and some various kegs, there are 13 tuns (5 gallons) of exceptional wine stored here. Each has a bung seal with a blob of black wax impressed with a death's head.
Youtargim: Huh, I do not remember being this lucky with them
Craigh: Good job.
Indigo: So what's in there?
Craigh: Looks like wine caskets
Youtargim: I do not think we can take this but looks like high quality wine
Youtargim: and some mead and perhaps ..... corn lichour?
Youtargim: but the rest fits in
Youtargim: Not sure what giants would want with that last
Indigo: Why can't we take it?
Craigh: You'd fit inside one of those barrels instead of carry it.
Youtargim: It will weigh a lot, plus hard to carry unless you have a winch and wagon
Indigo: Yeah I guess ...
Indigo: smiles
Youtargim: I would normally be interested in taking this, loot like this is what we would take from a ship we raid.... encounter, or visit
Youtargim: Goods we would trade for
Craigh: I forgot to bring a ship with me.
Youtargim: Or a cart
Indigo: Guess we have to go the other way then
Indigo: laughs at Craigh's comment
Youtargim: Grins
Bixi Fizzlebang: By ;going the other way; do you mean drinking it all?
Craigh: North East next?
The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR
The time is 11:55 AM
Youtargim: Locks the door to the wine cellar again
The hallway where Craigh is ends after thirty or forty feet
similar to the other hallways that were under construction
this one is cleaner
nothing down that hall
Youtargim: Locks the door behind him again
The group goes back to the main hall.
N'laea: goes to listen to the other door with elf ears
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 5) [FAILURE by 36] [d100 = 41]
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 10]
Craigh does not hear anything at that door
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 4]
and N'laea here murmuring in a not human language
She does not know it
N'laea: Yout. You listened here? What did you hear?
Youtargim: I heard some one that sounded like giving orders
N'laea: What language?
N'laea: And what orders?
Youtargim: Not sure of the language, some humanoid thing, maybe along the lines of ogre? or bugbear? my guess is bugbear from the intonation, not giant for sure, but then bugbears can have a bit of a hiss when they speak and I did not quite detect that this time, but it is a thick door
Youtargim: and of course you have dialects that I have no idea if they exist here on this Plane
Youtargim: but if I had to guess I would say they are ordering someone else around
Youtargim: not sure what they are saying without the hand gestures that they typically use
Indigo: So there are possibly a lot of things behind that door and now Craigh doesn't hear anything behind his door?
N'laea: So we are left with a potential bugbear, a probably giant, and the hallway to the south.
N'laea: Unless the giant is asleep?
Indigo: Maybe
Youtargim: It has been a while? a half hour or more that we were here, so maybe they left? or went to sleep?
Indigo: Don't know what time it is down here.
N'laea: This is why I hate underground...
Indigo: probably lunch time
Youtargim: I could go for lunch
Indigo: Me too!
Youtargim: did we bring anything?
N'laea: Ah. We don't all have a stomach with the ability to tell us the time.
Indigo: I have some scones. I didn't feed the manticores
N'laea: I do not need much food. I had plenty to share.
Indigo: digs a scone out of his pouch and splits it with Youtargim
Youtargim: Thank you Indigo
Indigo: Which way do you want to go?
N'laea: I'd prefer a bugbear over a giant for now. Or to check the south hallway.
Youtargim: I always like making sure that no one can come out of a door at me when we are raiding... exploring a new ship
Youtargim: But we do not have any braces to block the doors to stop them from opening
N'laea moves aside and gestures towards the door for Yout to open
Youtargim: Look it was unlocked
Youtargim: OH
This smokily lit room has occupied cells on the south side of the room and a gong with a mallet by the door to the north. Approaching you after you enter are 2 bugbears armed with morning stars.
Youtargim : [Translation] Why are you still here, you were supposed to be upstairs!
[understood by: ]
Indigo: shoves the rest of the scone in his mouth, moves down closer to the door and looks
Youtargim moves aside keeping the door open for others to enter
Bugbear 36: Runs up to Youtargim and SLAMS him with his mace, making him heavily wounded
and then the follow through with his sword BONGS off the gong hanging on the wall, ringing loudly through the room

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Animal Friendship [at Ape 2]
Save [5] [Target 14] -> [for Ape 2] [FAILURE]
Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello ape! None of us wants to hurt you! Please get yourself to safety for now and when it's safe to come out we would love to talk to you and help you either escape or stay here, or possibly some other goals!
Bixi Fizzlebang: Everyone leave the ape alone! We are going to be friends!
Licornah has the ape in front of her,
and Bixi shouting behind her
Licornah: Hello - how are you? Why are you here?
Ape 2 [Ignan]: [Translation] GRUNTS
[understood by: ]
The ape is not attacking, but apparently cannot speak anything you can understand either
BUT Licornah does see the second ape come out of the room
behind the charmed one
Licornah: :: shrug :: they don't understand me...
Slightly larger than the first, maybe male?
It is 30~ feet away behind the other ape and dead giant
the front Ape is watching Bixi and cautious with Licornah
Raelynn: We don't mean harm to either of you! Just... don't attack, okay?
Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 19]
Tiberius: Going to let this one go? What do you think Indigo?
Indigo: Not if it attacks us first!
The charmed Ape shuffles back and forth
Not attacking, not retreating
Branwyn: Going to look for something to kill, love. Be back soon
Branwyn: waves for the jaws to follow her
[ROUND 3]
Youtargim: Looks at N'laea
Youtargim: Open this door? Or?
N'laea: Might as well. They already heard us.
So Youtargim opens one door then moves and opens a second door
the first has nothing visible in it (it is dark in the cells) and then the next one has a skeleton that reaches and attacks as soon as the door opens
Skeleton 2 tries to attack Youtargim but misses.

Raelynn: Okay well... be good!
Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 14]
Raelynn goes to see what the ruckus is
Tiberius: glances back at where Branwyn and Indigo are going, then looks back at the two Apes and stands his ground to guard against them
Ape 2: Shuffles back and forth, pawing at the dead giant, and whining
Branwyn: moves down the hall with her jaws looking for the 5th giant

Branwyn has a door in front of her, that is on a T intersection, hallway going right and left
Branwyn is standing there at the door and looking down the hallway, her light does NOT extend all the way down, but she can see a chamber down there with a pulsing red glowing light of a forge fire
and a bugbear pacing back and forth like they are waiting for something/someone
Branwyn: goes to the door and opens it about a foot, not swinging it wide open
and so now Branwyn is looking inside that door
Branwyn: sees a couple dozen unarmed orc slaves and then quickly closes the door as quietly as she can
