Chapter One - Into the Shadows

[jemmus]

Seeing Awwrak's actions, Lothien knows that she is trying to perceive signs of invisible creatures. So as not to block out her listening, he also takes a moment to silently scan the room for signs and listen.
Perception [1d20+4] = 9+4 = 13

Realizing what they are doing, Qelnaar waits in the hall so as not to interfere with Awwrak and Lothien.

Walks forward, unable to sense anything and blindly swings his sword, trying to connect with anything and deture any unseen attacks on himself.

Perception [1d20+2] = 1+2 = 3

Longsword: To Hit: [1d20+4] = 11+4 = 15 Damage [1d8+4] = 8+4 = 12

[Radrabbit]

The hole is quite small, possible to crawl into on all fours at best.
It seems to stretch away into inky blackness.

[jemmus]

Lothien crouches beside the hole and leans his head to look into it, hoping not to get hit by any flying, slashing, or lunging thing.
Darkvision: Thanks to your elf blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim Conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in Darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in Darkness, only Shades of Gray.

Sade searches the room carefully.

Investigation, w/advantage [1d20+1] = 15+1 = 16 [1d20+1] = 12+1 = 13

Perception [1d20+6] = 12+6 = 18

[Radrabbit]

The passage stretches away for around twenty-ish feet and turns a corner.
It seems to get a little narrower as it gets to the bend in the passage.
Among the belongings strewn around the place you see several coins and a dagger.

[jemmus]

Lothien reports what he sees about the passageway to the group. "I wouldn't like to get into a fight in there, crawling on my hands and knees. I could send a magic hand down the passageway to see if anything happens. I suppose it could grope about around the bend, but it couldn't see anything for us.
Mage Hand, range 30 ft

Deciding that there are no invisible enemies, he joins the others looking at the crawlspace. I am unsure I could fit, or I would go ahead to flush out any ambush.

[Rex]

Sade

"I don't think we should crawl in the hole. Any ideas?"

[jemmus]

'I'll send an arcane hand down the passageway and see if anything happens.' Lothien crouches beside the hole in the wall a chants a phrase. A disembodied hand appears in floor of the passageway, before the bend. It goes around the bend, grasping around the floor for any objects.

Might need a GM call here. I don't know if a Mage Hand can be controlled while it's out of sight, like around the bend. Also don't if the controller can "feel" with it. In other words, he would know if encountered an object that can't be seen.

Mage Hand
cantrip conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V S
Duration: 1 minute
Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.
You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.
The hand can’t attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds.

[Radrabbit]

The disembodied hand disappears around the bend in the tunnel and you hear a skittering and a pulling sensation as if the hand has grasped something.

[jemmus]

Lothien
'The hand has something. If there are no objections, I'll retrieve it. If anyone thinks that's unwise, please say.'

[Rex]

Sade

"Go ahead, I will be right behind you in case there is trouble."

[Bluehorse]

3of4

Raises his sword up in both hands, ready to bring it down on anything dangerous that comes out the hole. I am ready

[ybn1197]

Qelnaar prepares Eldritch Blast in case it becomes necessary.

[jemmus]

Lothien does a grasping and pulling gesture and the hand brings the object around the bend and into view.
