Mikey smiles as Behemoth shares his food with Glom and lets out a relieved sigh. He then looks to Aunna as she addresses him. "Indeed, here let me take care of the meal tonight." Mikey waves down an attendant indicating they will soon be ready to depart. He pulls out his coin pouch ready to pay for the meals.

While putting her pouch away, she attempts to look like she's arguing, "Are you sure?"

Mikey smiles as he gives a dismissive wave to Aunna's coin pouch. "My treat!"
Once they arrive to Mikey's room in the yawning portal Mikey will identify Aunna magical ashes. He will then cast speak with dead to speak with tiefling skeleton.

Grinning, she simply sayas, "Thanks!"
Aunna would follow Mikey to his room. As he takes the time to identify the contents of the pouch, she would head downstairs to make sure she fills up the barrels with fresh water, paying whatever it may cost to do so. Heading back up, she would take the pouch and head back to her room, resting for an early start for the next day and all that will come with it!

Aunna,Behemoth,Mikey With meals and discussions finally finished, Mikey offers to take the full bill of the meals that cost 4 gold total. You all stand to leave and once outside of the eatery, Aunna, Mikey, and Glom split off from Behemoth to head back to the Yawning Portal, while Behemoth heads off to find some company for the evening.
Aunna,Mikey The walk back through the city is semi-quiet as people continue about their business for the remainder of the evening. It takes half an hour before you get back to the Yawning Portal where Aunna pays another 5 silver for another nights stay and thencmanabes to fill the water barrel back up for free. You both then head up to Mikey's room with Glom. Glom immediately rushes to the bed, claiming it, while you both sit at the small desk in the room and lay he velvet pouch on the table. Mikey then waves his fingers a little, and his eyes flash as he finishes his spell.
Mikey Dust of Dissapearance: When you use an action to throw the dust into the air, you and each creature and object within 10-feet of you become invisible for a certain amount of minutes. The duration is the same for all subjects, and the dust is consumed when its magic takes effect. If a creature affected by the dust attacks or casts a spell, the invisibility ends for that creature.
Aunna,Mikey Mikey reveals the specifications of the pouches dust to Aunna as he starts taking the tiefling skeleton out of the portable hole. Placing the skeleton atop the desk carefully, Mikey takes a few moments to pay respects before casting another spell. Once Mikey finishes the components needed for the spell, the tiefling's skull rotates towards Mikey slowly, the empty sockets gazing towards him, waiting.

Mikey looks at Aunna slight embarrassment on his face as he draws from the necromantic powers provided to him by gond. "I hope you don't find this uncomfortable Aunna, feel free to step out if you do." Mikey looks at the skull admiring it's structure brought on. By infernal lineage. "I am sorry to wake you friend but my curiosity overwhelmed me, I am going to ask you questions and I hope you will provide me answers." Mikey pauses for a moment thinking about what to ask. "Who are you my friend?" Mikey's follow up questions are ""Why was your corpse layed across the stone alter?" And "What are some of the secrets of the Undermountain?"

Relieved knowing that the ashes weren’t those of a deceased loved one, she becomes quite interested in this dust that causes disappearance. This may just come in handy down below. After putting it away, her attention is drawn.
As Mikey begins to remove skeletal remains and place them on a table, she watches, curious. When he speaks to her, she shakes her head, quietly stating that she wants to remain. Taking a step back, she allows Mikey space to accomplish whatever it was he was trying to accomplish.

Aunna,Mikey As Mikey finishes his first question to the skeleton, there is a faint suction noise that comes from within the mouth of the tiefling skull. "Savir." The jaw opens very slightly as it gives its name, its voice faint and raspy as it crackles through the room. Mikey then asks his second question and the skull responds instantly. "My life, snuffed by the cloaker in this very room." The words are dragged out, as if floating on a far wind. Mikey then asks a third question, to which the skeleton responds instantly. "An eleven tomb near here that contains a secret door. We could not figure out how to open it." The jaw moves slowly with each word again and finishes as it continues to stare at Mikey, awaiting the final questions.

Mikey smiles up at Aunna before returning his focus to the bones prepared to ask his final two questions. "Can you please describe the area for which the Elven tomb was located?" After hearing the answer Mikey asks his final questions. "Any final requests, people you wish to to let know of your passing, rights od burial or cremation things such as this?"

Aunna,Mikey "Broken sarcophagi that sits amongst the elves in the seasonal forest." The skeleton answers in the same raspiness that it has. With the fourth answer given, Mikey finally asks the skeleton his final question. Instead of answering straight away like all the previous questions, the skeleton pauses for a brief moment as its empty sockets stare directly at Mikey. "Just bury meeeee." The voice of the skeleton holds onto the last word and let's it hang in the air as the jaw goes slack and the skeleton now remains fully motionless, leaving the room in complete silence now. Turning around, you see Glom sat on the bed, wide-eyed and slightly shaking.

Mikey looks concerned at Glom for a moment before giving a slight chuckle. "Do not be afraid glom, Savir here is long past and their voice and answers are merely a echo of their existence." Mikey gently fathers the bones, hiding his disappointment as he stows the skull once more. "I am going to arrange burial for our friend here." Miney looks to Glom and Aunna. "Do either of you care to join me?" Mikey moves to the prepared to leave once more.
For funeral rights, Mikey makes arrangements to have a simple plot and funeral rights provided by a respectable service.

Aunna’s eyes were probably as big as Glom’s, but she collected herself as Mikey looked to them. Nodding, as she looks from the bones to Mikey, “Sure. I’d be honored for to join.”
There were many questions running through her head, but it did not feel like the time to ask. Instead, she would follow and help Mikey where she could, wanting to help out the bones to rest.
She did keep in mind what she heard, wanting to keep a mental note. There were even more questions she wanted to ask, but again... now was not the time. Also, it would probably be best to ask in front of the others.
Her face was warped in obvious thought as all the unanswered questions flowed through her mind.

Aunna,Mikey "Glom will stay here." The goblin exclaims quickly as she settles into the bed. Packing away the tie fling skeleton into the portable hole, you both leave the room and make way into the night to give the skeleton of Savir a proper burial. It takes a little moment of travel before you arrive at the City of the Dead, a large walled cemetery that is used as a public park during the day. You manage to find an undertaker who agrees to give Savir a burial at the price of 5 silver pieces.
He guides you over to a pre-prepared grave and you remove Savir's bones from the portable hole and gently lower them into the ground. You both stand in attendance for the next half hour while the undertaker fills the hole with earth, and with a few final words towards Savir's memory, you are both satisfied with the funeral rites given and take a solemn walk back towards the Yawning portal. Once back at the tavern, you both take to your own rooms before settling down for a nights rest.
Behemoth Once you leave Aunna, Mikey, and Glom, you instantly start making your way to the brothel where you are semi-well known. You are welcomed like every other visit, and after paying the 5 gold pieces of cost, you are shown the line-up of the evenings entertainment. Picking your choice from the line-up, you are met with a smile and a gentle hand as you are lead towards a comfortable room and a delightful nights rest.
Alfie As you lift your quill from the pages of your spellbook for the last time this evening, you breathe a heavy sigh of relief as you close your book. Turning around, you start hysterically laughing as you remember the prank you pulled on Reggie, his face and fur now smeared with meringue. Stifling a yawn and preparing for bed, as soon as your head hits the pillow, sleep takes ahold of you.
All finish a long rest. Alfie: Lose 1 point of exhaustion. Everyone You all wake in your respective beds and rooms, feeling ready for the days activities. You can hear rain tapping against the window panes as a light drizzle makes its way into Waterdeeps streets and gutters.

Waking refreshed and satisfied Behemoth leaves the brothel and makes his way to Yawning Portal, there he orders himself a hearty breakfast and an ale to wash it down as he waits for the others, or joins the others.
"So, about Glom should we visit my friends so she can decide for herself if she'd prefer a life there than in Undermountain?"

After sleeping the sleep of kings, Alfie awakens to Reggie smearing his meringue cover face all over Alfie's. "You're an asshole. You know that right." Reggie stands, puts his paw over his chest, makes a wounded face, and falls over onto the bed to play dead.
With a big sigh and even bigger stretch, Alfie gets out of bed. He takes a hot bath, his first since before the group entered the dungeon. Reggie cannon balls into the tub.
Cleaned, spells learned & prepared, and all packed up, Alfie pays for the additional laundry service and leaves Blackstaff Tower heading towards the Yawning Portal. He hoped he'd find the group there eventually. "Come on Reggie. We're gonna go meet some friends.... and Behemoth."
***
Alfie entered the Yawning Portal and orders breakfast. Taking a minute to find the group, he takes his food and joins the party for the first time in two days. "Hello all! Hope you enjoyed our respite from down below. Glom good to see you again. You look healthier already! What this about your friends now Behemoth?"

"Had you not retreated to your room you'd know," he grins before letting out a loud and jovial laugh. "I spoke to my old friends in the fighting pits, they'd be prepared to take Glom on in the kitchens. She'd be safe, fed, paid and have a place to sleep."

Alfie smiles at Behemoths comment. "Yes. Well that sounds nice. Thank you for arranging that Behemoth." Alfie takes another bite of breakfast before adding, "Aunna, is this your first trip to Waterdeep? Did you enjoy your stay?"

Mikey sleeps like a log, as the time to wake comes, lazily drags himself from bed. Eyes half shut Mikey begins donning his armour knowing the day ahead of them. "Gond, this path I have chosen has brought much for me. Sparks of creativity, ideas that go beyond simple utility. But, I find no time in a real forge, only within yours." Mikey connects the straps of his left guantlet as he having this conversation out loud to himself. "I pray you have patience and I promise to offer my work to a proper forge once I have completed this journey." Mikey picks up his forge hammer and shield, staring into both for a moment. "May my strikes to the metal be true and may the steal not become brittle." Mikey completes donning his armor, grabs his equipment and walks from his room helm under his arm as he looks for his companions.
Sitting at their table Mikey says good morning and signs to the Barman for a water and breakfast for him and Glom. "Good morning everyone!" Mikey says with a smile.

Aunna awoke the next morning more refreshed than she had been in quite some time. After a nice stretch and yawn, she turned her attention and looked towards the window. A soft smile plays on her lips as she listens to the potter patter of the rain.
Were she staying outside in the woods, she would have taken advantage of this rain. A nice rain shower would be nice. Absentmindedly she wonders whether the temperature today was cool or warm... A warm day with cool rain sounded like just the thing.
She sighed sadly, unable to partake in such a beautiful dream. Instead, she began to wash and ready for the next excursion. Silently, she wondered whether this rain would affect the dungeons below.
Before leaving the room, she ran her hands across her body, doing an equipment check. Nimble fingers touched her pouch, the short sword at the small of her back, her quiver of arrows that held 10 silver arrows and 10 regular arrows, her pack, her bow, and the portable hole.
“Alright. Looks like I’m ready.” She says aloud to no one at all. With one last look in the mirror, she made sure she looked ‘normal’. Then, she left her room and headed downstairs.
After giving her key back and ordering some breakfast, she headed towards a table and waited for the others. First came Behemoth, followed by Alfie with Reggie, then Mikey and Glom. She greeted them all with a wave and a smile as she continued to eat. By the time Behemoth asked his question, she was finished with her meal, washing it down with a mug full of water.
Looking at Behemoth, she nods, “I’d love to meet your friend.” She smirks as Behemoth pokes fun of Alfie for being locked up in his room. Adding her own two coppers, she says, “You were quite missed at dinner. Especially since Mikey paid.” Her eyes glinted playfully, but you could also see sincerity.
When Alfie addresses her, she nods, “My stay was quite pleasant, although I did miss sleeping outdoors.” It was quite uneventful, and she very much enjoyed that. It was a weight off her chest that no one seemed to have identified her or sought her out... Continuing her statement, she says, “I was able to get extra food for us and made sure the water barrels were filled.”
Pulling the portable hole from her pocket, she holds it out to the group. “And who am I giving this to?”

Behemoth smirks at Aunna as she adds her 2 copper jab.
"That's two for meeting my friends, though," he looks to Glom, "It's largely down to you," he smiles
As Aunna pulls his portable hole from her pocket, "Ah! I wondered where that had gone," he takes its from her
