"So now what? Looks like we are on the wrong side of that crack in the floor. Do we want to go back outside and in that way or just climb down?

[Rainmaker]

Investigation: 1D20+3 = [3]+3 = 6

Ivan immediately tackles the nearest barrel, wrapping his arm in a choke hold around its "neck", and stabs it multiple times.
Stealthy Barrel Assassination: 1D20+5 = [17]+5 = 22
Though his terrible dark vision and perception lead him to believe that the barrel was a Redbrand, he's able to assassinate the barrel very quietly. He lays it over on its side and the barrel "bleeds" out. At somepoint Ivan realizes his mistake... maybe it's the wood splinter in his left thumb that gives it away, or maybe the subtle "Glu, glug, glug" of the barrel's "blood" pouring out the knife wounds. At that point Ivan dips a finger in the pool of effluent and gives it a taste.

"Hmmm, tastes like Mead. Barrel neutralized, comrades!" Ivan says in a hushed tone.

After Gudgeon mentions returning to the crevasse,
"Aye, it looked like the sides of the crevasse were climbable. Though before we leave this room, does anyone see any other doors? I'm apparently mostly blind in this darkness, or I'd look myself, haha."

[Grendel]

Pique puts away his short sword and moves to do a a detailed investigation of the room leveraging his night vision and highly tuned skills as a long time smuggler.

Investigation Skill

"Y'all need to help me remember these details so I can get things correct in my journal"

[DavidBoren]

Reminds me of a night in the jungle, guy on fireguard got spooked when a parameter alarm went off... tackled and stabbed a boar to death, he did...

I whishper this as I crouch near Ivan, dipping my finger into the barrel's "blood" for a little taste.

I stand up and look around the room for any signs of doors or exits...

Perception: 11
Investigation: 21

[mtaylor]

Pique, you do spot what appears to be a hidden door on the left side of the room.

[Grendel]

"ahm, looks to be something hidden over here, maybe no climbing into "chasms of gloom" needed yet? " Pique whispers laughingly.

Pique starts looking for traps and triggers associated with the door before attempting to crack.

1D20+5 = [20]+5 = 25

Gudgeon shakes his head as Ivan Murders the barrel. "Well done. It takes a good arm to get that little knife through that much wood." He says with a playful smile.

Piques words draw Gudgeons attention from the barrel. "All the better. Dwarf legs are not made for climbing walls."

[mtaylor]

Pique, as you open the door you start to hear voices on the other side. They don't seem to know you are there, it just sounds like a few people having a small talk heavy chat.

(you didn't find any traps)

[Grendel]

Pique quietly closes but does not latch the door and signals to his companions sound on the other side and to quiet.

Pique whispers, "multiple voices on the other side of this door, make sure all out lights are doused and keep quiet. Shall I sneak through and reconnoiter...or do we do an Ivan and just burst in stumbling over each other?"

[Rainmaker]

Ivan is feeling a little impulsive... perhaps uncontrollably so...
1-10=no impulse control, 11-20=impulse under control: 1D20 = [10] = 10

"Enough of sneaky business! Davai! Let's do this! I try to keep one alive for questioning, but no promises" Ivan raises the crossbow, while holding a dagger in his support hand, and starts to step toward the door.

Someone roll for Persuasion to talk me out of it, or Strength to hold me back. (Or I guess we could just let it happen, haha)

[Nish]

Ivan feels a gentle pressure on his side, glancing down he sees the flat of Gudgeons warhammer. against his body. The dwarf looking at him sternly.

"If we find trouble use me as your shield. I will be right behind you. Just do not shoot my cousin."

[Grendel]

Pique rolls his eyes toward the ceiling but slides out his short sword in preparation of the assault while positioning himself so he can swing open the hatch but stay out of the way.

"ah, Eric you in on this too?"

"Gudgeons, you need to point out your cousin as soon as possible, anyone looking dangerous; innocent or no,t is going to get the 'stabby' 'stabby' as we move through this next space."

[DavidBoren]

Let's do this already, I'm hungry.

I pivot my head around in a clockwise circle as I roll my shoulders up and forward. My neck pops and the muscels in my arms flex a bit.

I start to hum Springtime for Hitler...

Initiative: 19

[Nish]

Gudgeon smiles. "That is easy, short, big beard, smells like dirt, happy to see me, and probably something over his mouth so he will shut up about this damned mine."

[Grendel]

Pique readies to open hatch looking for the signal from Ivan to swing it open and move out of the way. "Ivan say when!"

I assume Pique will be last out of our group since he's the door opener but here is his initiative roll for what awaits on other side

1D20+4 = [11]+4 = 15
