Zakkoth tap his chin.
"So.... what is our next step?"

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " Wow... I didn't fully grasp how mean those Bullywugs were up until now. Keeping you from exploring all the wonders that this place may hide. Truly a hideous act of evilness!" - she exclaims, shocked at the lenght those frog-like creatures went to torture the poor Jarak-sinn. " Well, I think it would be better if we explore everything. Beside where the cargo is, the more we find out about what's happening here, the better, I say!" - she answers to Zakkoth's query. - " I think we should start from... Hm..." - at that point Chantilly starts whispering 'eenie meenie miney mo' pointing at the three possible paths, before landing on the north-eastern gap. " That will do!" - she exclaims excitedly, before jumping through the gap. OOC Actions 1: NE gap 2: SE stairs 3: NW stairs dN40o5Ap1d31d3

"Before we go exploring everywhere else, I suggest we check out the treasure first," Eliana says. "If we don't find any answers there, then we can explore some more."

Despite Eliana's words, Chantilly rushes over to the gap in the wall and squeezes in. It's only about three feet from the water, so she's able to wade in without crouching much. She disappears into the darkness entirely.
Chantilly is somewhere wet and dark. She cannot see anything as this room is not lit like the previous one, but she can hear trickling water coming in from somewhere in the room.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No Chantilly conjures her trusty Mage Hand to hold a candle for her, as she lights it up using her tinderbox. As she is finally able to see, she goes further to take a quick look around, too curious to pass this chance up.

Eliana reaches out to grab Chantilly, but it is too late. She lets out a sigh, and shakes her head.

"We wait for child, or go without?" Snapjaw asks Eliana, not sure what to do.
Chantilly finds herself in a chamber that's mostly mud and water. It seems some water is trickling in through a hole in the wall. However, she also notes something buried in the mud gleam in her candlelight.

"I don't like leaving Chantilly behind, but the more we stay still the higher the chance someone could start asking questions." he draws his dagger and points towards north-west "I say we keep going, if needed we carve the direction we went so that Chantilly may follow. I mean, we have decided to go for the treasure as quickly as possible, we should not waste any time. At worst, if Chantilly has not found us when we're done we could just go back and see where she's at."

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " Oh!! Guys there is something shiny here!" - she says loudly, unsure if the others were able to hear her. Chantilly takes the candle from her magical hand, and then sends the now free mage hand to grab whatever is gleaming through the mud.

Eliana had to agree that standing around doing nothing while waiting for the Chantilly was a bad idea. She didn't like leaving her behind either, but they did need to find the treasure. "...She'll be okay," she finally says. "We can leave behind small markers for her to follow to find us,so let's go."

"I know. I'm quite fond of her, but she's way better than any of us at staying out of sight." that said, he starts carving a crude arrow pointing northwest with a single word in kenderspeak: "Follow", hoping just Chantilly will be able to read the message.

The party decides to move on. They move around the water on the ground, and hear the echoing voice of Chantilly exclaiming something about 'a shiny' from within the small cave. Marking the way, they continue up the stairs into the next chamber. This room has a ledge in the middle of the room, extending 15 feet up, but has a wooden ladder lashed to it for ascending and descending. There is also a wooden, crank-powered crane in the room. "Bring crates here, crane helps moves up to top of ledge," Snapjaw explains.
Using her mage hand to dig around in the mud reveals a cache of beautiful gemstones, maybe half a score of them of varying colors, shapes and values.

"So all we have to do is go down the ladder?" Eliana asks.

"Out of sight, but not out of earshot it seems." Henry quips when he hears Chantilly marvel at something "shiny"; at the sight of the crane, he whistels and says "Not bad for someone stuck in a bog. Anyway, guess we have to go up there, not down." and that said, he again marks with the dagger the direction they're about to take.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " Hmm... I wonder if those gems are apart of the cargo we're searching? Oooooh or maybe I discovered a hidden mine or something!" - as she speak to herself, she opens her backpack with her free hand and she keeps it open while her mage hands picks the gem and it deposits them in her open bag. " I wish I could conjure even more of you." - she says to the hand. - " You certainly are...handy...to have around."
