DM: You are Vax Vax'ildan, a half-elf rogue . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, The party enters the tunnel uncovered by opening the hatch. They go down a wooden stairway.
DM: All right, you step under one of the nearby tables and come out, completely invisible. You make your way, stepping through the kitchen, downstairs and find that you currently, right now-- Vax, you are going to unlock the latch, you said?
Player: I'm sorry, I was just thinking of Wendydoodle's art from the comic. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to check that door for traps, is what I'm going to do.
DM: All right, perception check. Wait, you checked earlier, there's no traps. There's just a lock.
Player: Earlier, yeah, I did get a 25 up top, yeah. I thought you were giving me another door. Yeah, 25 up top where the fake bags of rice were.
DM: Right, but it was still locked, you didn't roll to--
Player: To pick it, sure, that's no problem. It is a 23.
DM: 23, it's a little tough, you just manage to get it up and it comes off and the latch-- pretty solid still.
Player: Amateurs.
DM: Okay, you open the (creaks) leads down below and you find yourself looking down into a familiar stairway that leads into darkness.
Player: All right, I know sometimes I can seem like I'm an idiot, but let me do the talking, yeah? And then I start down and lead the way.
DM: All right, so, as you push down the stairway, we're doing marching order here just so we have it. So we have currently, you're at the front, who's behind Vax?
