Droja will give it try.
Droja was able to identify the bandages like item, and the Mace.
Bodywrap of Mighty Strikes +1 (3000gp) This long cloth is wrapped around the chest multiple times like a bandage. Once per round, the wearer may add an enhancement bonus of +1 on one attack and damage roll for an unarmed strike or natural attack (for one specific attack, not all attacks made with an unarmed strike that round). The wearer may use this item an additional time per round when his BAB reaches +6, +11, and +16.
Heavy Mace (Medium) (+2 Frost weapon) (18,312 gp) In Dwarvish, "Angradd's Fist." Haskyll and Ragnir will immediately know this is Torag's brother. +2 to hit and damage, + 1d6 of Frost damage when activated by calling upon Torag's brother.
@Leira - You will know that the scroll contains an Arcane spell. A complex and likely powerful arcane spell.
Leira expresses all kind of wows and jumps from item to item as the group starts to identify them "Can you imagine? Whom might have created these items? How each of them ended here? What a story!"
"I do agree, perhaps we should rest here for the night" Leira will help Kaos to secure the place, but she is overly too excited to be of help.
"I can also create a dimensional pouch in the air for us to sleep even more secure" the girl will cast rope trick after spending a point to ready the spell.
Once ready for resting, she will extend the scroll in the floor and show it to Anga "Look master, I sense a powerful aura on this one. It must be something very special, but I can not understand it myself"

Droja looks over the bones and cadavers. Listening to Leira, the Half-Orc Oracle shrugs, "Hmmm. Well, let's." She will find and approach the skull of the the skeleton that wore a gold feather-shaped ring.
"How nice. If you understand me, how did you end up in this cave?" Droja questions the skeleton.
The skull animates and speaks in the Common Tongue, but with a very distinct Dwarf accent from Janderhoff, "I am in the cave? The last thing I remember I was being eaten by a dragon outside the cave. I was hired by a group from Janderhoff to explore a cave rumored to contain a vast amount of treasure. Then we were beset by a pair of dragons. Two of them!" The skull shutters then looks around, "Ooh! A vast amount of treasure.".
"Yes, there is a lot of treasure. How long ago did you die?" The Dwarf Skeleton conveys some dates. Droja will convey that this Dwarf died about 60 years ago.
"How many were in your party?" Droja asks her final question.
"There was a dozen of us. But many were simple miners and not warriors. We were no match for the dragons. I don't know how many others died or survived. I think I was the first as I lead the party.
Thanks for at least letting me see what we seeked," the Dwarf Skeleton goes silent.
Haskyll looks around, before anyone goes anywhere.
Well, how about I take a quick look at things after I be healing you.
By Torag's beard.
Haskyll looks at the pile of coins and gear all over the place.
Well, let me look at those items there, while we try to figure out how to carry the rest of the coins.
Haskyll shrugs off his pack, and brings the mule in closer to the pile of coins and stuff.
Now as for the rest of these, it is going to take time ?
Haskyll drags two big sacks out of his pack, dumps the climbing gear from one into the other, and starts to fill it with coins, by grabbing them at random.
Haskyll discovers that the robes give him the creeps. Robe of Bones
Haskyll does not know the Wand or the spell on the scroll. None of the magic items would be considered an artifact.
copper coins, but there is silver, gold, and platinum visible to anyone looking carefully at the mound. An intricately fashioned Brass and Cloth Choker, a Silver Pin with a floral design, and a pair of leather boots with silver buckles are on the lower portion of a mostly decayed cadaver. The top portion of the cadaver is separated from the lower portion. It wears a Silk Vest. You will see among the bones a large femur that has been fashioned into a scroll case. A stick with tiny runes can be seen. There is a humanoid hand wearinga gold looking ring. There is ashirt. There arewraps like bandages. Adark foreboding Robeis seen partially buried in the mound of coins. There is a carefully craftedHeavy Macelying to one side of the mound. And then at the center top of the mound is an egg, a big egg
As it will take time, I suggest a watch or by one of us, the rest stuff coins, and then stow, once we got the a lot, then we should be good to rest up, or push on.
He then looks at the egg, while scooping coins.
Hey, I wonder how close the baby was to becoming hatched.
Kaos, can you look it over to figure it out? or How about watching over Anga, if she wants to?
Ulfgard will check out the egg.
"Some eggs are realyl valuable if sold. And I mean really valuable!"
It is a Rift Drake Egg. It is fertilized and well along in its cycle.
Rift drake egg? Should be worth a bit. Carrin' it will be a problem
"We can take the most valuable items and coins and leave the rest until we have the time for" comments Leira "There is mounts of silver and copper we can just leave with a concealed entrance"
Once the taking of the most valuables, Leira will swap spells and cast rope trick in a hidden corner of the cave "We can make guard, but at least here inside is more comfy" The girl starts climbing up the rope.
Outside the Rift Drake cave a pale moon struggles to peek through the heavy clouds that have gathered over the jagged peaks that hem the secluded valley. The temperature quickly begins to drop, as the party gathers what they have found.
Ragnir will set to helping separate and count coins. T'mace belonged ta a follower o'Torag's brother. 'E's t'hothead o' the family. Prefers solid offense t'defense.
Hey, stop what we are doing, Where is Kaos??
Haskyll stands up and quickly looks out the cave entrance, grabbing his gear.
Leira, can you see where he has gone by using that locket that you are wearing ?
Where has Kaos got to.
Anga looks around for him
Ulfgard looks at the mace and just does a baa sound. "I have my precious."
"Let me see Haskyll!" Leira places his hand in the locket and tries to see where Kaos goes.
The girl points out where Kaos is going and attempts to stop him by touching and shaking him "Eh Kaos! Where are you going! We are supposed to count coins and rest. Do not go away without telling us where, we are in giant's land. Dangerous place to go alone!"
Ragnir follows Leira, and if Kaos doesn't respond, he'll kick the Barbarian in the shins.
Before
Anga is able to decipher the arcane scroll. It has a single spell on it, Teleport.
She was also able to determine that the Wand is a Wand of Cat's Grace with 15 charges remaining on it.
Later
When members of the party notice Kaos leaving the cave, and follow to see what is up, they hear something like, "Come out, and follow me," in a soothing and peaceful voice.
Leira barely resists the attempt to break her will.
"W-what is this?" the girl looks confused while looking at the source of the voice.
Observing the strange behavior of Kaos and after listening the voice, Leira hands for her spellbook and quick studies protection from evil, in a guess that might help block whatever is affecting the man.
Haskyll tosses Ragnir the Mace
You should be able to make good use of this, now lets go see about getting our wayward Laddie back.
Haskyll walks out, looking around for Kaos, and gripping his spear.
Kaos, where in the Gods are you Laddie
When he spots the creature, he calls upon the assistance of Torag.
Ulfgard moves toward the ugly thing at double speed.
"Keep your soothing voice, you won´t charm a dwarf!"
+2 if a spell or spell like effect
Anga closes on the beast
touch
touch
Oh, oh well ignore the attack, I failed
:(
Ragnir catches the mace and starts to trudge out after Kaos, Aye, let's go get the young'n.
He hears the voice and starts to wander.
"A Leucrota?" asks Leira "Oh no, this is trouble" the knowledge confirms the girl his actions can save the group, and so, she quickly prepares the protection from evil spell from his spellbook so she can cast it next round.
"I see it! Do I?"
What are you doing, and what are those ?
Haskyll inquires as he watches yet Ragnir walk by.
Better yet, how can we stop them from leaving?
Haskyll questions, while quickly pointing at those that failed their saves.

Surprise Round
Kaos is mysteriously called out from the cave.
Round One
Kaos continues to approach a freakish looking beast.
As Anga walks toward the cave mouth, she becomes entranced by a soothing voice. She heads toward the voice.
Ulfgard hears the voice, but resists its soothing affect. He moves toward the freakish beast.
Droja hears the soothing voice and heads toward it.
Leira resists the affects of the voice. She sees not only the freakish beast in front and in the open, but three others in the woods. A chill runs through her spine as she recognizes the beast as the Leucrotta. Created from Hyenas by a Demon Lord eons ago, they have bred in the wild, and in the underworld in numbers. They are intelligent malevolent creatures that will show no mercy.
They are evil through and through. With that, Leira changes up one of her spells to Protection from Evil.
Haskyll hears the voice, but pays it no mind. He instead asks for Blessings from above.
Ragnir hears the soothing voice and follows Ulfgard toward the pleasing sound.
A second Leucrotta emerges from the woods and calls out in a soothing voice, "Come. Sit. Let me tell you a story."
Now that its prey is near, the first Leucrotta will see what it taste like. It bites and attacks Kaos with its stag-like hooves.
With the attack, the Lure of the first Leucrotta no longer affects Kaos. The attack also breaks the enchantment against Anga, Droja, and Haskyll.
A third Leucrotta emerges from the woods and attacks Anga as she is coming out of the affects of the voice.
A fourth Leucrotta attacks from the woods to the left. It goes after Droja.
Round Two
If mage armour is down, Anga steps back 5 feet, and recasts it, muttering at herself for forgetting.
If mage armour is up, Anga steps back 5 feet and cast scorching ray at the one that tried to hit her
touch
touch
"They are Leucrotta, chaotic evil magical beasts, and the effect luring our friends is a charm Haskyll! Hit them with anything able to block or suppress charms and we will be good!" Leira shouts in response to Haskyll.
Leira is not prepared for the appearance of the second Leucrotta, her mind is blown up and she walks to it and peacefully sits in front.
Block the enchantments, lets see how we might be doing that.
Haskyll taps Leira on the shoulder as she tries to walk by.
He then readies a spear for anything that might be coming his and her way.
The stubborn dwarf easily resists the lure of the second beast. He quickly puts some mud in his ears. To muffle the sound

Round Two
Kaos immediately snaps out of the Leucrotta's Lure when he comes under attack. The big lizard-looking human strikes back with a powerful slice that hacks into the hyena-like creature.
Anga takes a step back to cast Scorching Ray at the third Leucrotta. However, there is no good place for the Mage to step without being in the bite radius of another Leucrotta.
The fourth Leucrotta bites at the Dwarven Mage. But the attack was unable to penetrate Anga's Mage Armor.
Anga was able to get off her Scorching Ray searing the third freakish beast.
Ulfgard resist the affects of the second one's lure, he reaches down and finds a little mud. He stuffs the moist ground into his ears.
Droja too comes around after being bit. She takes a step back toward Ulfgard. And gives herself a bit of additional life.
Leira follows the Lure of the second Leucrotta, she moves toward the freakish beast. But as she moves by Haskyll, he gives her a touch of Resistance. Leira was able to resist the affect, and does not further follow the instructions of the second Leucrotta.
The affect of the first Leucrotta's Lure ends. Ragnir can react to the freakish beast.
The first Leucrotta continues to attack Kaos.
The second Leucrotta continues its attempt to Lure the party.
The third one takes a step and does a full round of attacks against Leira as she comes out of the affects of the second Leucrotta's Lure. But the nimble Rogue Arcanist was able to dodge all the strikes.
The fourth Leucrotta carefully moves around Droja to get to Ulfgard. It bites at the Ranger Barbarian.
