"I detect that the ring contains strong necromatic enchantments, it might be keeping something inside, maybe a soul, but its hard to tell. I would want to know more before anyone put it on."

"How about the box? It was magical too, and I had a tingling sensation when I opened it."
Sunset waits...patiently as the others work at discerning what they can about the box and its mysterious contents.
"Sorry, I missed the magic box. I was still trying to puzzle out the 200 foot jump."
Know Arcana on box
"Durgen, the box reads the same as the ring. With or without soul, that is the question."
"OK, let's carry this box, but closed. I will carry it in case the tingling sensation is something bad, I don't want anyone else to suffer something bad."
Durgen goes over to the drop, "I have some rope if we want to try and scale down"
I also peer down: Dammit, can we go round?
Sunset coughs politely.
"Um...is there perhaps a makers mark any where? An idea where the box or ring were made, or by whom?" She asks, though not slowing people down in their perusal of the drop.
At Vorone's remark she thinks.
"Well...if we head over that way..." She points and indicates a possible route.
And she sighs, "Never easy, but then things might get boring and sky above forbid that..." She mutters to herself as her recollections sum up their options.
"Well..." She sighs, "We can get down, the bad news is that it's either climbing..." And she offers Voronwe a sympathetic smile, "Or we have to trek out wide and down a ravine." She turns and slowly begins to head for the long way down.
"I suggest we take a leisurely stroll with the horse the long way around, camp and rest, and get down there at first light. We can recover our magic arsenal that way."
"There looks like a good enough spot..." Sunset points...
Sunset leads her companions towards a place that seems to be not too far off from the bottom of the cliff.
It's slightly higher ground than the rest, and has little chance of being cold since the cliff and the forest will break any gusts of wind that may happen during the night.
"So? Who's on first?" She asks, even as she begins to set up her bed roll...
"I'll go on watch first so I can get some continuous rest. Then I'll wake Sunset."
Hiro prepares to oil and clean his sword.
"I'll take one of the dark hours to make the most use of my dark sight"
Which puts me last: I prefer dusk or dawn anyway.
so who has the ring and box, is it Durgen?

Durgen
Monster Lore on the skeletal figures
"And who are your masters?"
Durgen yells out,
Sunset sits up and looks about,
"Here we go..." Sunset mutters to herself, even as she checks her gear and takes a moment to make herself more 'presentable'.
"So? Have our pair of possible miscreants come back to pay their respects?" She calls.
Durgen will stall for time for others to wake up and be ready and talk louder than normal, "Would you like back what you are missing?"
Hey, um... what?
perception
Hiro wakes up a little groggy. It is a good thing he doesn't need to get into armor. Hiro snatched his sword and prepares for the worst.
One of the figures says "Give them back and we will leave you alone"
First who are your masters?"
Durgen will try and sneak a peak at the others to see if they are waking up and getting ready for a fight.
I snatch up my sword and shield, leaving my armour behind, and move to flank one of the creatures.
Sunset stands, stretches, gives herself and her gear a final pat down before sauntering towards Durgen's voice and the evening's visitors.
"Here now, lets not be shy. Every one should be introducing themselves, like is proper..." She says calmly and casually.
Hearing some one talking to her 'companion' Sunset slows and drawls in reply,
"Actually...we'd kind of like it if you could enlighten us on that little fact...." She shifts her weight and nonchalantly leans to one side, hand on hip.
"Seems your 'who ever it was', well they plumb forgot to monogram the sucker..." She smiles....but the emotion never lifts to her eyes as their pale gaze watches from beneath the brim of her hat.
"Who do you think made that box there dwarf?" it replies
Durgen readies his grip on his Dorn-Derger,"Honestly I have no idea" Now having a couple allies with him Durgen is ready to attack
"Why don't you just tell me?"
"See, here is the problem. Durgen is a reliable cleric and can be trusted to do what is in the worst interest of lichs everywhere and the best interest of the good guys. His word and reputation are good. You, on the other hand, are impetuous, secretive, unvouched for, and obviously from the same 'category' as lichs. Your ability to leap off 200 foot cliffs does not increase your trust factor."
Hiro points toward both of them.
"Now you can see why we are keeping the items and not you. It is not personal, just bizness."
Sunset steps a tad closer,
"Okay then, since your not looking to do the right thing, names never hurt in an introduction, what say we move along to the part where we go on our merry way.........and you pair just go away..." So saying, she lifts her arm, aims and fires.
And her eyes widen as her weapon does little more than.
"Click..."
"Ahhh.....bugger..."
Hiro steps in front of Sunset with his dangerous katana drawn and readies an attack triggered at the first sign of hostile intent or magic. "You would be leaving while you can."
