Delve the Fifteenth

"Oh, he's active, just trapped in the room. And that cost us 3 mages doing that. We won't be letting him out again"

[kipper]

"We bid you goodday, and if we come across anything to be of help to you, we shall be sure to send it your way!" Maloof replies, before heading back to the rest of the party with Franklin.

[Makofan]

You make it back safely, and nothing exciting happened with the group while you were gone

Maloof reclaims and dons his gear.

Where to now?

I think we should keep near the elevator in case we need to retreat to rest up after a bad encounter.

We could perhaps try to find the secret door into the "Ogres" area (if we think we can handle some ogres), otherwise there is the door in the south of elevator room which apparently contains a statue, or we could try following the corridor to the east of the elevator room (which is not part of Thoth's map and has unknown dangers). We could also try our luck/cleverness with the "Traps" area, but we don't even know for sure there is any treasure to be had there.

Was going to suggest the area to the east of the elevator, heading north. But any of your suggestions are fine.

[kipper]

I really don't have any preference, so let's go back towards the elevator and head east then north.

I just emailed Vortimer. Before we continue, the next section, I will drop Nailus out of the party unless I hear from him by this weekend

[Vortimer]

Sorry all,

real life did lead me down the path of forgetfulness. Lots of reasons and I can go into them if you want, but willing to continue here.

agree to go to back to elevator.

Franklin reclaims all of his magic items (especially his ring of invisibility) before continuing on. "We should definitely put some distance between us and that balrog," he agrees (heading back to the elevator then east & north).

Here's a refresher on our marching order

MARCHING ORDER
Rhod (F5) / Franklin (F4)
Maloof (T4) / Aldbane (C5)
Naillus (F2/M1)
Phillippe (NM) / Edgar (NM)
Balbo (F2) / Drogo (F2)

When you do a 20' corridor, do you stick to the middle, with 5 or 6 feet to either side of you, or do you tend to go down one side or the other?
