As the flagon came down from in front of Tovarish's face, the old man noticed Ben moving onto his hands and knees to seemingly inspect the floor. A look of concern washed over Tovarish, and he knelt forward, using his eyes to scan the length of the floor as he spoke.

"Something wrong my friend?"

**Diabloss** · 2012-02-09, 12:16 AM

Bintah squinted at the floor, and intakes a breath when he finds an indention in the floor. Pressing down on it he discovers that it slides a panel aside in the floor. Under the hidden door is an earthy passage leading under the inn. Glancing up at Tovarish, he grimaces.

"It seems this town has a few rats, my friend. Shall we discover their nest?"

((Sorry buddy, I've been very preoccupied this last week. I'll make sure to at least finish this part of our story before I decide to pause again.))

**Tovarish24** · 2012-02-09, 02:37 AM

((Hey, it's ok man. As long as you haven't forgotten :P I don't quite follow what you said here though, a few rats as in the rodents, or mysterious people? I just don't understand if the hole is small like for a rat, or big like for us to fit through, let me know and I'll continue.))

((I'm trying to go for Horde spies in an alliance camp type of deal. I'm not really sure what we'll do when we find them, but I figured it would be an interesting twist.))

**Tovarish24** · 2012-02-09, 05:59 AM

((Ok cool, I'll happily participate, but keep in mind it's already evening, Tovarish and Bintah are tired, and it would set them back for the Grove at least a day.))

Tovarish looks at Ben in awe. Totally unaware of what Ben had been up to, from the moment Ben adjusted his robe, Tovarish was stunned at the sudden change of events. Being weary and tired from a long day's venture and the blistering high noon heat, Tovarish considered his options, and decided he'd like to know more.

"What exactly do you have in mind friend? What could be down there?"

One eyebrow now raised quizzically, Tovarish rested his elbow on his knee and leaned forward an roughly an inch.

**Diabloss** · 2012-02-12, 05:19 PM

Bintah contemplates the options for a moment then drops down into the hole, landing easily, and then looks around. The tunnel was of tightly packed earth, and had a floor covered in dust and footprints. Squinting at the footprints Bintah notices something odd - several of these footprints had only three toes. Trolls, perhaps? The tunnel stretched off in the direction of the center of the encampment in one direction, and in another leads in the direction of the fence enclosing the perimeter.

"I believe we have just found something very interesting my friend. I'm too curious now to go to sleep without investigating further. Would you like to join me?"

Bintah holds a hand up to help Tovarish into the tunnel.

**Tovarish24** · 2012-02-14, 02:44 AM

Tovarish didn't know what to think. He was very tired from the traveling they'd completed that day, and he let out a deep drawn out sigh.

"I grow weary friend, I wish not to put myself in potential danger in such a tired state, not to mention how close we are to the tome I seek. Perhaps we can explore once our quest is finished?"

Tovarish's eyelids hung low, and he mustered a smile before sitting back in his chair.

((I want to go exploring with you, I really do, but from the perspective of Tovarish, he's too old and weary for this right now. You must also remember, he's dying to get to the Grove as soon as possible. If you want, you can go on your own, or after we finish our quest, we can come back and explore it then. I want to see what you have in store, but Tovarish just isn't up for the challenge right now :/ ))

**Diabloss** · 2012-02-14, 05:03 PM

Bintah sighed, squinting down the tunnel. Perhaps Tovarish had a point. The day had been long, and there was not even a guarantee of something being at the end of the tunnel. He hauled himself up out of the tunnel, brushing dirt off of his robes, then turned around and closed the trapdoor. Thinking for a moment, he lays one hand on the trapdoor and concentrates. A thin, barely perceptible barrier of light infuses the cracks between the wooden slats, sealing off their room from the tunnel. Just in case.

"Very well my friend, we will skip this for now. It is unfortunate, but we do not have the time."

**Tovarish24** · 2012-02-19, 04:36 AM

((I know it's been a while since I've responded so I'm just gonna move us along a bit))

The next day Tovarish woke up to the sun creeping in through a slit in the curtains covering his window. Drawing in a deep breath and letting out a long yawn, he stretched his arms in a classic motion, and proceeded to rub his eyes. A broad smile engulfed his face as he remembered that today would be the day he would make it to the Grove. With a spring in his step, he flung himself out of bed and clothed himself with his tan robe. Topping off his wardrobe with his spaulders, Tovarish exited his room promptly and headed downstairs.

((Go ahead and fill in the blanks here with where you are and so forth, and then I'll get us on the road.))

**Diabloss** · 2012-03-04, 04:07 PM

Bintah arose from his bed, seeing that Tovarish was beginning to stir. He pulled on his robe and went downstairs to the dining area after giving one last suspicious glance at the trapdoor. He finds a seat underneath a window and passes the time by watching the rays of light play through the dust in the air. His legs are still slightly sore, but he grimaces and does not complain, as Tovarish will no doubt he very excited to get to the Grove today.

Seeing Tovarish coming down the stairs, he calls him over, conjuring him a meal so they would get on the road promptly. "I'm afraid there's no ale with this meal, I don't think you need it this early in the morning anyway!" Bintah chuckles.
