[Negotiation score: 7/20, 15 is required to completely avoid conflict, a score of 5 will begin the battle][Diplomacy 1d20+2=14]

Yulya speaks, "I am afraid he must have passed away centuries ago! Even Master Edermath is an old man now! I am a cleric not a wizard so I am unfamiliar with the Greycloaks. But our friend Summer of Leilon will be - certainly you do not know her as she is very young. But a highly capable mage and attendant in the Leilon high tower of Thalivar. I believe she is at least acquainted with the Many-Starred Cloak in the Cloaktower of Neverwinter. But honestly I have no idea about the affairs of wizards. She will accompany us here after our return to Phandalin as Sir Mormesk wants to meet her as well! This is all I can offer! We also have a further human party member but she is currently on her way to get the elevator. You will meet her soon."

[Negotiation score: 8/20]

"I'm not interested in meeting more interlopers. Ah yes... the years have passed this is beginning to make sense, humans don't live long do they? Hmmm, troubling."

"So Mormesk is here, perhaps he knows, bring him to me."


"...do not obstruct or threaten those who do! Neither me nor my precious friends!"

[Negotiation score: 6/20]



"We are here under the authority of the current and rightful owners of the mines, the dwarven brothers Gundren Tharden and Nundro Rockseeker of Phandalin! Their names are engraved on the plate near the elevator at the entrance. Furthermore we have approval of Master Daran Edermath and Sir Harbin Wester"

[Diplomacy 1d20+2=16][Negotiation score: 9/20]

"Edermath yes, I do not remember speaking to him, only that he was there when I was summoned. I'm not interested in meeting new dwarves."

"In Eldaths name - I do not even know what the Forge of Spells is supposed to be - let alone what happened to it or where it is now! But I believe the knowledge about its very existence has vanished over the centuries. For Phandalin this place is just an ore mine. Unless they have all deceived us... It looks like a lot of wizards died there fighting orcs. Maybe Sir Mormesk was among them. But I am afraid the centuries have taken a toll on his memories. I strongly suggest to meet up with him and clarify a few things. Maybe this would help both of you."

"Mormesk yes, I do not remember speaking to him, a meeting will be prudent."

Yulya continues trying any number of irrelevant bits of information, "So please no more unnecessary fighting! Our mission is hard enough and our enemies are numerous and strong. We who share a common goal cannot afford to fight among each other in these dire times!"

You can tell the spectator grows bored with this conversation, he looks tired granted he is very old.



[Negotiation score: 11/20]

"You're right, fighting you will not help remove the interlopers, so I will give you a task you can accomplish that will prove you are not here just to pilfer and loot. Prove to me you have killed this interloper Nezzer, then bring me Mormesk the Piercing. If you are indeed working with him, then he will corroborate your words. Until then you will not be allowed to leave the mine."

You feel a large source of mana being used, as if this creature has a focus or a powerful magic item, there is a large discharge of energy, a wall of force spell has been cast to a level matching or exceeding 9th tier. Preventing anyone or anything from entering or exiting the mine until this creature releases it. Then a shimmer envelopes him and he's gone. Alice falls to the ground and will be out for 1 hour.

[The creature has asked that you bring Mormesk to him. The room seems secure enough to rest now, please state what you want to do.]

The spectator responds, "Mormesk, Edermath, these names are familiar, so you spoke to them and they let you live... the Greycloaks of Neverwinter, yes, I'm remembering now, my master was a Greycloak of the Covenant, Gr... Grim... Grimwald the Renown can you bring him to me? I'd like to speak with him. I do not know of Summer of Leilon, is she a Greycloak?"
Yulya sighs and closes her eyes as she sees the situation with Mormesk repeat and just wishes Ashley were here to deal with annoying negotiations...
Great Spectator!
At least 350 years have passed since you were assigned with your task maybe even 400! I am not acquainted with your master but if he was human - I am afraid he must have passed away centuries ago! Even Master Edermath is an old man now! I am a cleric not a wizard so I am unfamiliar with the Greycloaks. But our friend Summer of Leilon will be - certainly you do not know her as she is very young. But a highly capable mage and attendant in the Leilon high tower of Thalivar. I believe she is at least acquainted with the Many-Starred Cloak in the Cloaktower of Neverwinter. But honestly I have no idea about the affairs of wizards. She will accompany us here after our return to Phandalin as Sir Mormesk wants to meet her as well! This is all I can offer! We also have a further human party member but she is currently on her way to get the elevator. You will meet her soon.

"You're not human, you're not elf or dwarf or gnome or halfling, yet you've taken from the mine.
These are words that do not sit well with Yulya. She uses Celestial Revelation - Inner Radiance. Searing light bursts from her eyes and mouth as she stays 15ft from the spectator and his skulls so they do not take damage.
Indeed I am not human! I am an Aasimar - a celestial messenger of the Gods! This alone means my mission is righteous and true! Are you an agent of Lawful Good, Great Spectator? Do you act in the name of justice? If so do not obstruct or threaten those who do! Neither me nor my precious friends!



Yulya regains her composure and cancels the celestial revelation.
First Mormesk and now you! What a day...
I shall answer all your questions to the best of my abilities but can we please discuss this normally? We are neither bandits nor criminals but here on an official mission. Fighting insanely powerful monsters and bandits is bad enough!

"I understand Mormesk the Piercing has tasked you to rid us of this interloper Nezzer, and you've been tasked to rid the mine of bandits and orcs, but under who's authority have you come and what is their original purpose?"
We are here under the authority of the current and rightful owners of the mines, the dwarven brothers Gundren Tharden and Nundro Rockseeker of Phandalin! Their names are engraved on the plate near the elevator at the entrance. Furthermore we have approval of Master Daran Edermath and Sir Harbin Wester - the noble currently in charge of Phandalin. However none of those ever mentioned anything about a Forge of Spells, Nezzer, Sir Mormesk or you. Master Edermath suggested there probably were only a few orcs in the mine. Or bandit squatters. We were sent here on a routine exploration mission. As of why we were not told about what was going on here - this I would love to know myself. At least Master Edermath must have known about the Forge of spells I presume? But he is an old man making apple cider now. I am absolutely at loss about what is going on here to be honest. Nothing makes any sense...

"In what world is the Forge of Spells now?"
Yulya desperately shakes her head
In Eldaths name - I do not even know what the Forge of Spells is supposed to be - let alone what happened to it or where it is now! But I believe the knowledge about its very existence has vanished over the centuries. For Phandalin this place is just an ore mine. Unless they have all deceived us...

"How has Mormesk become undead?"
He would not say. My impression was that he is not even aware of it. He believes he is still alive and - like you I must say - has no concept of the amount of time that has passed. But he currently looks just like...
Yulya gestures at the flaming skulls
...them. He is on the level above. It looks like a lot of wizards died there fighting orcs. Maybe Sir Mormesk was among them. But I am afraid the centuries have taken a toll on his memories. I strongly suggest to meet up with him and clarify a few things. Maybe this would help both of you.

"What information are you lacking about Nezzer that you feel I should know?."
Ah where to start? We only learned about his existence from a bandit we interrogated. And Sir Mormesk confirmed his presence. Any information would help no matter how small. What could he be doing here? What are his powers strengths and weaknesses? Sir Mormesk said Nezzer had opened rifts in the material plane to the underdark but he managed to close them. We fought fume drakes! Why would Nezzer do that? I also do not understand how he managed to get past Sir Mormesk - and you. Did you encounter him? Did you meet any bandits? It appears they were in this room but fled.

So please no more unnecessary fighting! Our mission is hard enough and our enemies are numerous and strong. We who share a common goal cannot afford to fight among each other in these dire times!

It would be odd to use a Brit poster in the US.
So woflo said the bots are no problem, but the forum is slow as fuck recently. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Alice remains frozen stiff but is still chuckling inside, as she imagines Ashley's posh carriage being towed by two flaming skulls and that green 5-eyed monster on a leash.

I will always be myself! But that doesn't mean I'm not trying to be as helpful as I can.
Anyway, oh boy! Another monster questioning Yulya's authority. This is going to be good...

Alice does her best to attempt the negotiations.

[DIPLOMACY(D) 1d20-1=(9,CM)]

It goes about as well as can be expected.





Alice is momentarily distracted by a chromatic change in one of his eyes then a burst of violet light engulfs her. Alice is now paralyzed and cannot move, talk, or even blink.

Cat pushes Yulya forward.

Yulya starts:
"I apologize for disturbing you Great Spectator and defeating your - familiar? But we are not your enemy!"

[DIPLOMACY 1d20+2=13]



"I am Yulya a Peace Cleric of Eldath and leader of this party. These are my comrades Alice and Cat. We are adventurers of Neverwinter and here on a quest to rid this mine of orcs and bandits. I humbly ask you to listen to our story as I believe we share the same goal. We will lend our aid to you to the best of our limited abilities and answer your questions as far as we can but I am afraid we lack crucial information about what is going on here. Especially about the sorcerer called Nezzer but also the Forge of Spells! We were not even aware such a thing even exists until recently. And we still do not understand what it is - other than that it is gone for a long time!"

[DIPLOMACY 1d20+2=12]



"We currently have the year 1296. According to inscriptions we found, I believe the Forge of Spells was lost around the year 951 - for reasons we do not know. But I believe that knowledge of its very existence has vanished from this world - as for Phandalin this place is merely known as an ore mine now."



"By the way, we met an undead mage called Sir Mormesk of the Greycloaks of Neverwinter who also appeared to be guarding the Forge. Would you know him? He has tasked us with taking Nezzers head and so we will. So I believe we have a common enemy. Might you be able to provide us with information about this Nezzer? And if you may - about the Forge of Spells? What was it and who made it? We have a royal mage friend in Phandalin - Summer of Leilon - and also the approval of Sir Daran Edermath if you happen to know him. It would have been really helpful for them to come along to vouch for our righteous task but alas we are here alone."

The spectator responds, "Mormesk, Edermath, these names are familiar, so you spoke to them and they let you live... the Greycloaks of Neverwinter, yes, I'm remembering now, my master was a Greycloak of the Covenant, Gr... Grim... Grimwald the Renown can you bring him to me? I'd like to speak with him. I do not know of Summer of Leilon, is she a Greycloak?"

[Yulya Interaction Required]

"Never would I have imagined to meet such powerful beings and arcane treasures in here. To us this mountain was simply described as a mine..."

Yulya once again speaks a silent prayer to Eldath and SheShe in hope of some divine aid to overcome such insanely powerful opponents.



"You're not human, you're not elf or dwarf or gnome or halfling, yet you've taken from the mine. I understand Mormesk the Piercing has tasked you to rid us of this interloper Nezzer, and you've been tasked to rid the mine of bandits and orcs, but under who's authority have you come and what is their original purpose? In what world is the Forge of Spells now? How has Mormesk become undead? What information are you lacking about Nezzer that you feel I should know? Answer quickly before I lose patience."
