"Hey, one minute. We haven't found what we're looking for, and neither have y'all. You came in from higher up, and we came in from lower due to an earthquake. As neither of our groups have found their item, I can only assume that it is somewhere lower than where we started. I'm also beginning to wonder if we are looking for the same item. I say, lets rest if our casters need to, and then stay together, and go deeper. If it isn't the same item, then maybe we'll find both and can stay friends and return to where we need to be."



¡°Works for me. BUB, why don¡¯t you head home, buddy.¡±?BUB goes back to sleep or wherever he normally resides, and reverts to the statuette form.


¡°I agree with you Miss Cerina on all that you said, but could we find a place to rest that is not filled with creepy corpses?"


Fenn ponders the White Dragonborn¡¯s words momentarily. ¡°They might be below or they might be above or they might not be here at all,¡± he says eventually. ¡°None of us came in through the front door, exactly,¡± he reminds the group. ¡°There are many places we may have overlooked above, below, and between,¡± he continues.?


"...they're, uh, for a friend!"?North?stammers shoving the perfume bottles into his bag. He also takes the jade items that no one else wants.


"Pretty sure we are all officially grave robbers now. Maybe there's a name we can be called around that... Something like... Grave Diggers!"


"The story goes... Morning Song, is trying to find this spear that was stolen from a Monastery. And so - if I had to guess, I don't think we are in a Monastery. Is this a Monastery? I mean what are the chances we are both looking for phallic items that are not one and the same!? I guess I don't know what we are doing in this place!"


Brother Ashley?pipes in, explaining, ¡°Stolen?FROM?a monastery. We wouldn¡¯t look?IN?a monastery to find the missing spear.¡± He glances around for confirmation. ¡°We¡¯re in this place because the clues about the spear¡¯s whereabouts have lead us here. The Leonin. The Druids. The Jaguar Monk. The Map. All pointed us to this place.¡±


And there is one last thing that interests the gnome in this place...?"Before we rest... What is this silver fluid?"?


Cerina?identifies the silver fluid as something called ¡®liquid fire¡¯ - a mercurial acid that causes severe fire damage and lengthy pain but is highly volatile and dependent on the environment. The stone of this cavern must be silicate. Copper is also somewhat impervious to the alchemical ¡®liquid fire¡¯ as demonstrated by the raft.?


Sweet William takes one of the jade bracelets and squeezes his hand through. It¡¯s snug but not uncomfortable.


"As for group names. Er... Super Friends? Sweet William's Sweet Pals? The A-Team! Heroes For Rent? Taters over Haters?"


Fenn?speaks up again, having considered all conversations, and says, ¡°If we split up we can cover twice the area in half the time. Nine of us crowded into a narrow corridor could hamper our effectiveness. But if?we?continue down and?you?continue up, we can search with fresh eyes where the others may have overlooked. Perhaps we can reconvene together outside at sunrise to compare our findings?¡±



And what do you do?
