Surin keeps looking

Subject: Surin keeps looking

Surin files the last comment away and buys Garlin another tankard. "Well friend, I've had fun but not being a dwarf, this ale is starting to get to me. I'll see you around." The two say their farewells and Surin heads back out into the dwarf city. It takes him about another hour to find out where Long Stone Way is and to get to that part of the Underkingdom.

He spots a checkpoint that leads into the area where Long Stone Way is. There are guards there but they do not seem to be very serious. Picking his way carefully, he moves to a back wall and moves his way towards the opening in the cave wall that signifies the start of the tunnel. The tunnel is over 100 feet across. There are 5 guards at the check point, two working the gate itself and three more in small building right next to the gate. Taking his time Surin keeps to the partial shadows along the wall. As he passes the gate he can hear the dwarves talking in their own language.

A minute later he is past the check point. Still keeping to the shadows he works his way back down the large tunnel. A nice paved street is in the center of the tunnel. About 300 feet in from the gate there is a guarded entrance with 10 dwarves patrolling out front. Surin recognizes the colors of Fornax on a flag hanging outside the entrance. 500 feet further down is another entrance. This one has the same number of guards but flies the colors of Bhyo. The entrance way to the complex is a wide opening about 30 feet across. The halfling figures he has pushed his luck and starts the long, slow process of getting out with out being noticed. (OODM, when Surin takes 10 he has a 25 move silent and a 28 hide.)

Four hours after he had left Surin shows back up in the party's rooms "Found her, I think."

OODM: You guys can work out a plan from here.
