dubnoom, looking up from being about to shove someone else into a pit trap: oh hello,
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:06:47 PM] Gul Banana
honestly we're not that heroic yet
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:07:27 PM] Gul Banana
but if we find some norgorberite extremists down here and dissuade/slaughter them, that'd be pretty a helpful Deed
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:08:42 PM] Gul Banana
which reminds me of a two-part question
1) what was the name of the inn employee gnome again, and
2) was she aware that we were making the room-swapping deal?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:08:46 PM] Dammitwho
you're heroes in moonglow bay :)
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:08:45 PM] Nicolae
okay i'm technically here but i'm gonna throw some za in the nukulizer real quick
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:09:23 PM] Dammitwho
the gnome's name is Neji Copperbrim, and basically everyone in the common room when you made the deal was aware of it
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:10:49 PM] Gul Banana
right, so this wasn't a case of "she'd secretly set up Moustache to be attacked that night and was surprised to find us in there instead"
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:11:30 PM] Crion
indeed
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:14:25 PM] Dammitwho
Much to consider. Regardless, you are currently wading through ankle deep algae-muck in the depths of the Absalom sewers! Here, you face a terrible choice - do you go left, or right?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:15:13 PM] Imran Traveler
"Well. A path branches. Thoughts?"
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:15:56 PM] Imran Traveler
"The Nidalese prefer the left hand path, for tedious cultural reasons. So I'm tempted to suggest right."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:16:40 PM] Tak Ironflame
Is there any evidence suggesting one way or another? Signs of the fleeing cultist? Weird sounds from one direction?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:16:50 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
"We should do that then, and leave something here so if we get lost and wander around tunnels for hours it's only hours instead of days."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:18:51 PM] Imran Traveler
"Could leave an everlight crystal, though a malingering Norgorberite could simply pocket it."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:19:17 PM] Dammitwho
You have chalk, as well! You made sure of it before entering!
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:20:05 PM] Dammitwho
By Tak's estimation, the left branch sounds quieter than the right. Fewer liquid-flowing sounds.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:20:23 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
Lindal sets Ram Banaram down in the water and watches to see which way he'll hop.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:20:56 PM] Tak Ironflame
Ah. Batrachomancy. How esoteric!
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:21:00 PM] Crion
Ooh, that's true. Chalk.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:22:44 PM] Tak Ironflame
Tak marks up the intersection with chalk marks in out-of-the-way bits of tunnel that, hopefully, will go unnoticed by passing Norgorberites.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:23:08 PM] Dammitwho
hmm, interesting. just a second
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:23:24 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
"Friend Tak, may Dubnoom?" He holds out a hand for the chalk.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:23:25 PM] Imran Traveler
"Huh. Better than a crystal. Good thought, Tak."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:23:35 PM] Ram Banaram
Now, it might just be that the frog is going for the most/least scum-covered parts of the channel, but he does seem to have an opinion...
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:23:59 PM] Dammitwho
oh! nm. continue
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:25:39 PM] Imran Traveler
"Hmm. The frog agrees with Nidal on this narrow issue."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:25:56 PM] Imran Traveler
He'll ready his shield to follow, if that be the way we tread.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:27:00 PM] Tak Ironflame
After finishing with it, Tak hands over the chalk to Dubnoom. No doubt the Norgorberites wouldn't expect us to chalk the intersection twice, and would thus think their task was done after finding and erasing just one mark. How wise!
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:27:45 PM] Gul Banana
(5 hours later) the party stumbles back and forth in confusion, unable to recall which mark was the true one
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:28:11 PM] Dammitwho
Here lies Dubnoom the Wise: Outwitted self. peperony and chease
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:28:31 PM] Dammitwho
Have you settled on left?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:28:34 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
Dubnoom looks up. "We left or right now?"
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:29:19 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
We've settled on making an arbitrary choice rather than delaying,
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:29:37 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
"Lead the way, shieldfriend."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:29:48 PM] Imran Traveler
Left it is. Onward.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:30:31 PM] Dammitwho
Remind me what your Exploration Activity spread is?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:32:23 PM] Nicolae
I forget what Tak was doing last time, I think Searching
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:32:49 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
Lindal will continue to Detect Magic in case of more silence zones (or more relevant things).
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:33:15 PM] Crion
imran was doing the move half speed with shield raised one, I think it's called Defend or Defensive Advance or something
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:33:20 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
Dubnoom scrawls what kiiiinda looks like "STAB THIS WAY -------->" with an arrow pointing right. Dusts off his hands. It does nothing in this humidity.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:33:24 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
Follows on.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:33:28 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
A nice thing about the cantrip's limitations is that he doesn't have to actually pay attention to every part of the sewer with his eyes and nose.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:36:15 PM] Dammitwho
Very well. Onward!
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:36:27 PM] Crion
actually no, he's just doing the normal Seek or w/e. Search? he has an action that lets him charge/raise shield/attack all at once so he can just Flavour being defensive
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:36:52 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
Any more cool signs of the ancient skeletons who silently marched these (charitably speaking) halls?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:39:21 PM] Dammitwho
Search is the action that lets you regularly and meticulously Seek during Exploration, yes
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:39:20 PM] Crion
a lot of being shield guy means getting boutique ways to turn shield on immediately
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:39:37 PM] Crion
i would prefer it made shield actually better, but, that's not how feat support works philosophically,
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:40:03 PM] Dammitwho
You don't currently see any skeletons/undead, or any signs thereof - the SIlent Tide guys were on their way through to somewhere else (the surface, to murder Absalomians in their beds!)

question, are the sides like, curb, or Wall
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:42:48 PM] Nicolae
i think they curve up like a regular sewer tunnel and the map art is just a cross section
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:43:35 PM] Dammitwho
The part I'm pinging is curb
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:43:52 PM] Dammitwho
And then beyond that is wall
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:44:17 PM] Dammitwho
So you can, if you're willing to kind of scootch around against the wall, stay out of the green water in the middle

[6/26/2026, 5:45:21 PM] Imran Traveler

[6/26/2026, 5:45:23 PM] Imran Traveler
"Dead end."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:45:39 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
"Well, that answers that!"
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:46:07 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
"Let's just check the cart before turning around... seems like an odd thing to haul down here."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:46:09 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
"No secret magic switches?" Dubnoom calls from around the bend.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:46:10 PM] Tak Ironflame
"Looks like there's a descent to another level down below..."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:46:23 PM] Tak Ironflame
Tak slowly approaches the drain hole to see if it's got a ladder in it or just Depths.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:47:08 PM] Dammitwho
It is indeed a dead end. The water pours sluggishly into a drain set at the end of the hallway, and lying above it is a rotten skeleton, next to a nearly-as-rotten handcart. Alas, you can see why Ram Banaram was eager to come this way: the handcart has a swarm of flies hovering above it
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:47:27 PM] Ram Banaram
A good day for those who've the tongue to appreciate it.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:47:29 PM] Dammitwho
The drain is grated, cemented into the stone, and has no ladder anyway.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:48:09 PM] Tak Ironflame
"Good thing the left passage was short, at least."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:48:11 PM] Dammitwho
You can, if you really wish, roll Nature to identify the rotten clumps still sitting in the handcart that seem to have attracted the flies.

[6/26/2026, 5:49:02 PM] Imran Traveler
Imran will let them sort out the particulars of the sewer end; he'll immediately move into defending back the way they came.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:49:41 PM] Dammitwho
Potatoes! Long, rotten roots coil around the clumps - a few of the potatoes seem to have survived a bit longer by sipping from the algae water. It would seem this poor man was fleeing something with his cargo of potatoes. But how did he get down here? How did he die? How long has he been here? It's not clear.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:50:07 PM] CBN
...would the potatoes still be good. hypothetically
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:50:10 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
"Guess he didn't bring chalk."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:50:29 PM] Dammitwho
Good for goblins, in that they're still organic.

[6/26/2026, 5:50:35 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
"Hey, there's an arch! Did you know these things can support an *incredible* amount of weight?"
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:50:44 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
"Mundane potato...Much to consider." Dubnoom strokes his beard thoughtfully, filing away a snack-idea for later.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:51:06 PM] Dammitwho
And it makes your sewer map look more interesting!
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 5:51:18 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
On the way back through the intersection, Dubnoom pauses to smudge his stab arrow message and point it the other direction now. A job well done.
---------------------------

Another intersection! The sewer tunnel seems to expand to your left (your characters' left, right on the screen).

[6/26/2026, 6:10:04 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
Dubnoom, chalk once again at the ready (??): "Agreed."

[6/26/2026, 6:13:03 PM] Crion
another standard move, though we should probably wait for banan as soon as we hit something
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:14:47 PM] Dammitwho
As your light flickers in the darkness, you can see in the distance a barred pipe on the north side of the tunnel, belching a trickle of water into the tunnel you're in. The tunnel itself continues onward, into the dark.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:16:32 PM] Imran Traveler
Another few steps, but... "We can turn, unless you all wish to examine it."

Imran will return to the head of the group moving the other way, then.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:18:47 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
Dubnoom looks up, just in case. Someone didn't helpfully mark the ceiling for us, did they? Never hurts to check.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:19:41 PM] Dammitwho
Heading into the wider area?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:19:59 PM] CBN

---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:20:13 PM] Imran Traveler
Imran presses forward.

[6/26/2026, 6:20:29 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
Sloshing now optional.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:20:33 PM] Dammitwho
In a stretch of sewer near what used to be a wealthy residential block, the tunnel passes through what was once the basement level of a grand townhouse: columns still standing, decorative tile on the floor, a carved house crest above a blocked archway (three interlocked rings on a field of wavy lines).
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:20:50 PM] Imran Traveler
Imran mentally notes the crest.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:21:10 PM] Dammitwho
Plastered to the wall above the tiles, now a sodden, curling mass barely legible, are dozens of small paper prayer-slips in Taldan - the type traditionally pasted to household shrines for family members who died of plague.

[6/26/2026, 6:24:48 PM] Dammitwho
You (well, except Tak, who is a foreigner anyway (you're literally all foreigners but I guess Tak is just built different)) recognize the custom as specific to families who had no survivors left to conduct proper funeral rites. This was the act of the last living member of the household. The Yellow Death swept through Absalom in 4217 AR, centuries ago, and this family did not survive it. The prayer-slips are still here because there was no one to come and take them down.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:25:10 PM] Dammitwho
You're confident, therefore, that this noble house no longer exists.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:25:57 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
No one apart from whoever built a sewer tunnel through the remnants!
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:26:13 PM] Dammitwho
Lindal, moving forward, is standing next to a wide basin at the intersection of several tunnels - big enough for gentle waves to lap at the walkway he stands on.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:26:19 PM] Imran Traveler
A blocked-off, forgotten grand old noble home accessed from the sewer might be a great safehouse in theory, but the crimes against the dead and good sense in securing it are many and severe.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:26:44 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
"Crossing-planks ahead. We certainly aren't the only ones who've been this way."

"Forward or left?"
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:27:23 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya

"Which one do we WANT to take...because, we should take the other."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:28:43 PM] Tak Ironflame
Tak sees a bit of the bars that Lindal does, and takes a few steps further down the corridor to confirm it's a dead end. Very dead, with an alcove behind the bars filled with skeletons.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:29:02 PM] Tak Ironflame
"Looks like this is the way," Tak nods towards the north.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:29:37 PM] Dammitwho
The passage is blocked by a barricade that has never been cleared: old planks, an overturned cart, two collapsed wooden chests, all so old the wood is gray.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:29:48 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
Plague skeletons? Silent invader skeletons? Or more potato skeletons? Well, nothing we can do about it.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:30:36 PM] Dammitwho
Behind the barricade, visible through the gaps, are the remains of people in antique armor - guards or defenders - along with a scattering of crossbow bolts. A date scratched into the wall above them: 1464.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:30:45 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
"There are so many carts in sewers. Is this what is usually in sewers?"

[6/26/2026, 6:30:54 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
"Perhaps some wizard *conjured* the sewer channels into existence, without regard for the urban geography?!"
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:31:19 PM] Tak Ironflame
"Agreed. This whole layout is mighty strange."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:32:51 PM] Dammitwho
It's true, you've seen strata that must have come chronologically earlier beneath that which came later, things jumbled up in ways that can't just be explained by sinkholes and building-over. The Absalom Undercity is a strange place. At least you haven't run into the Starstone Chasm.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:33:06 PM] Gul Banana

As you continue around the corner, you can see at the edge of your vision a place where the tunnel drops a short ways, making a small waterfall. Fortunately, whoever built this section of tunnel has incorporated it into the design (if anything about this can be said to be 'designed'), and the walkways have short downward steps.

Some instinct to (for once) stay out of trouble has Lindal following close behind him.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:41:34 PM] Dammitwho
Imran, ears long attuned to sounds out of place in the dark, notices an oddness about the water bloobing down the small drop. There must be a gap behind it.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:43:22 PM] Imran Traveler
"Oh. Oh my."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:43:27 PM] Imran Traveler
"Even here..."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:43:56 PM] Imran Traveler
He'll put his shield up to block the water, and slough it off to the side so he can see behind the tiny waterfall.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:44:05 PM] Dammitwho
Imran comes in with the clutch roll on the hidden perception checks i've been doing
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:44:12 PM] Dammitwho
Someone has built a small cairn of objects behind the waterfall. It is clearly deliberate: stacked carefully, recently maintained (the dust patterns show something was added in the last few days). The objects include a handful of copper coins, a wooden carving of a dog, a single silver earring, and at the top a vial of Darkvision Elixir with a stick-figure drawing of something with a very large mouth scratched onto the cork stopper. This is a regular offering made by someone (probably multiple someones) who uses this route and fears what lives deeper in. A propitiation of something in the dark.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:44:44 PM] Imran Traveler
"Do we feel any need to disturb this? The elixir might come in use."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:45:16 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
Dubnoom squints. "Might be extra magic. Or trapped."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:45:39 PM] Dammitwho
Plus there's that wooden carving of a dog. Who knows what foul rites whoever left *that* was getting up to.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:46:28 PM] Imran Traveler
"This was made in fear of and supplication to something in the dark. Perhaps something specific. Let us keep caution with us as we move."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:46:37 PM] Imran Traveler
Imran will leave the potion be unless one of the others insists.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:46:42 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
"I think we *should* disturb it, on that basis. Shrines to such things should not stand."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:46:54 PM] Imran Traveler
Ah! An insister.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:47:10 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
Lindal makes this claim, but doesn't reach in there or anything.

what's imran's current darkvision situation?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:48:00 PM] Dubnoom "The Wise"
Dubnoom nods. "Finders keep." He gestures towards the shrine. "We have earned."
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:48:25 PM] Crion

---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:49:17 PM] Crion
this would functionally be an extra charge, which is useful, but also just using light is his preference
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:50:15 PM] Crion
he is a very religious man so just like, disturbing someone's hidden personal shrine is distasteful to him even if it's a cargo cult warding ritual
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:50:18 PM] Prabesh Pranavikram Lindalsivranragdya
Does the earring seem particularly fashion-forward?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:50:35 PM] Crion
not so distasteful he'll order others not to do it
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:52:03 PM] Dammitwho
Not really. Small, a sort of leafy motif. Nice-looking, but not super eyecatching.

Well, whatever, what's around the corner,
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:54:58 PM] Dammitwho
Lindal, whose vision in the dark is better than Imran's with his small light-crystal, can see a much larger basin opening up ahead of you.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 6:55:51 PM] Dammitwho
As you approach, you can hear the sound of running water, and can make out - by the moving of trash and detritus in the basin - that there is a whirlpool at its center.
---------------------------

Is there another one of those silence zones here, that would have prevented us from hearing the whirlpool from further up the hall?
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:00:53 PM] Dammitwho
No, it's just not particularly loud. The loudest noises come from the trash occasionally bumping against each other.

Tak is usually quiet in general, but he's not taking any particular steps to Avoid Notice at the moment.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:02:41 PM] Imran Traveler
Imran is not.
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:03:20 PM] Dammitwho
The whirlpool slows, stops. The trash and leftover planks and crates and whatnot bob in the water.

dc to repair is typically the same as to craft it, dunno what the DC is to make imran's shield but the table here https://2e.aonprd.com/Actions.aspx?ID=2385&Redirected=1 says that 27 is the base dc to make a level 10 item so i'm guessing that a level 6 item with some geegaws attached will work
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:42:05 PM] Crion
how much does that repair the shield

---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:43:01 PM] Crion
the shield's big HP comes from a blessing, it should be whatever a regular ass steel shield is, which let me check
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:43:57 PM] Crion
pathbuilder has it listed as a level 0 item?

[6/26/2026, 7:44:08 PM] Gul Banana

---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:44:30 PM] Crion
i guess completely mundane items would be
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:45:09 PM] Crion
if the blessing makes the entire item lvl 6 then yeah that tracks
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:45:14 PM] Crion
anyway +10 hp to shield
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:45:34 PM] Nicolae
i'll let dwho crunch the numbers but if the steel shield is sufficiently mundane it'll be +20hp in total. ms who, what is the dc to repair imran's shield...
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:46:27 PM] Dammitwho
sec
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:47:35 PM] Dammitwho
call it DC 14
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:48:23 PM] Nicolae
in that case the repair roll was a crit and the shield heals +20hp (10 for base, 10 for trained in crafting)
---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:48:33 PM] Nicolae

[6/26/2026, 7:48:48 PM] Crion

---------------------------
[6/26/2026, 7:48:58 PM] Crion

Imran has spent his whole time in the sewers cautiously walking here and there; it's surprising, shocking almost, how fast he moves when he wants to. He closes the gap between him and the closest Skinsaw dope in a flash, batters his crossbow hand away and cleaves him down the front with his sword.

It seems odd to sound an alarm drum when, yet again, Tak has shot a fucking gun, but he's going at it. Perhaps he hopes to resolve all doubt that it was a friendly gun. Perhaps he hopes his friends (whoever they are) will arrive faster.
