A 5e D&D campaign starting at 1st level in and around the city of Waterdeep in the Forgotten Realms.

Waterdeep: City of Splendours, seat of many thousand plots. Are they opportunities for success, or for an untimely demise?
Will the adventurers sit safely in their comfort zones? Or will they risk their all to carve out a slice of Realms history with their names on it? Puppet or puppeteer?

The sand goes down for a depth of at least three inches.
The sand is a little damp but nothing obviously worryingly so.

Alecia moves virtually soundlessly across the sand. However, the Light she carries, the sole Light in the party, would make her presence obvious to any with direct line of sight that didn't have their own source of illumination. The Light might also be obvious to any sighted creature if the Light comes within 40' of a corner to which the creature has line of sight.

As Alecia is doing some scouting Sue looks up waiting for Jim and the stranger.

Let me explain better, sorry trying to work as well.

Alecia moves silently towards the open archway, darting her head out quickly to observe the otherside before moving back behind the arch, her exposure is limited but she'll try and get a glance.

Nix grunts slightly. It's as if the walls are layered with abjuration magics... magic that blocks or protects... likely this chamber keeps the things below from making their way into the tavern... interesting...

Sue grunts at the magic remark.

He starts to wonder where the bucket with the last 2 is.

The bucket with whoever climbed into it comes into view from below.

Any bucket occupants - Your choice of STR or DEX saving throw, please. (DC10 as Jim wanted a fast descent. You're expecting it so you can have advantage. )

Turning back Alecia nods at Nix's suggestion. "Magic to keep the things down? I guess that explains why these Stirge things havent started invading the Inn." Shaking her head she walks again on the sand curious as to why its there. "There is another passage heading away, I didnt dare get too close."

Once the bucket is down, Sue turns to the group.

"Someone who can.. ummm see in the dark should go ahead." Alecia suggests pulling back against Nix.

Dex Save with Advantage
DexSave: [1d20 + 6] = 13+6 = 19
DexSave: [1d20 + 6] = 4+6 = 10

Jim hops lightly from the bucket to the sandy floor looking about eagerly "Seems you all have everything well in hand here"
Perception: [1d20+5] = 12+5 = 17

Catching Sue's comment on stealth or force, Jim pipes up "I would suggest some stealthy scouting in advance to any shows of force. If you wish I can be of some assistance in the former"
If no one objects he moves to the arch and attempts to sneak down the passageway
Stealth: [1d20+6] = 2+6 = 8
OOC - at least he thinks he is being stealthy
