On arriving at the bar Alisand will quietly watch the others and not draw attention to herself.
After a few minutes she orders a round of drinks for the heros of sandpoint from the bar and after the barkeep passes them out she will introduce herself friends my name is Alisand and I hear this town owes you a debt of thanks for helping it. I am a follower of Desna a pilgrim on her road and I wish a blessing on all of you for saving her people on her holy day. To you! she will toast the group. I only wish I had been there myself to help in some small way, but unfortunately the roads are not always predictable and I was waylaid by a...by something that had to be dealt with. she flashes a small smile.
Alisand will then ask if she can have a seat with the heros and ask if any would be willing to recount the previous days events for her in more detail.

Noro, busy in the kitchen, actually never noticed nor heard the woman crying but her attention was arroused when she was able to overhear the toast to the heros.
She comes out of the kitchen and stands by the door wiping her bloody hands with a rag. great, another girl, filled with hero worship to fawn all over Darius she mutters to herself.
Noro grabs a drink from the bar and raises her glass more out of courtesy than anything else and takes a drink.
well now lets just see how this plays out
Before Zella can go in detail about the events of the past day with the newcomer, the crying woman rushes up to them.
"Ma'am, just try to calm down and stay right here at the Dragon while we go check out your house." One little goblin? Or is the boy just seeing things? And I'm expecting that guard here later....Oh, well, I should be back before then unless another goblin raid is about to happen.
Zella turn to Darius and Alisand. "Be right back, grabbing my bow and sword from upstairs then shall we go and check it out?" Assuming the answer will be yes, Zella dashed up the stairs and grabs her weapons outa her room without even bothering to take the time to put on her armor.
Olly smiles brightly at the newcomer and raises a glass in response to her toast. "Thank you, a blessing is always welcome!"
As the woman describes the situation, Olly thinks, What is it with goblins in closets! But if they've got holes into people's houses, that's really not good. "Ma'am, did your husband actually go into the hole after the goblin? Or is he waiting for help to come?"
Olly will also dash upstairs for weapons before we go anywhere.

guess i better go scope things out before those two get into more trouble Noro thinks to herself.
noro heads out the back door telling Ameiko she will be back shortly she has some business to take care of.
Noro will head over to house taht was indicated. taking advantage of her knowledge of the town and what she learned watching the Hellknights to avoid any patrols.
As the others grab their weapons Alisand slowly takes one more sip of her drink. She stands, adjusting her poncho.
When the others rush back into the common area from upstsirs she says.
"I hope you don't mind I've had some experience dealing with things like this, would you mind if I tagged along."
You head towards the house, and as you enter, one thing quickly becomes apparent, its utterly silent. You look around the house and nothing seems out of the ordinary.
As you draw to what you assume is the bedroom of Artie, you see a bed with the blankets thrown wide, as well as the corpse of a dog, lying beside the bed. You see the lower half of a man sticking out of a hole in the closet, like he was in a mad dash to climb inside and got himself stuck.
Zella peers over Noro and Darius's shoulders. "Is he ok? Do you guys see a goblin in there anywhere?"
See the house fill up Alisand will take a quick tour around the outside of the house looking for any points of entry or exit into the home. If she finds one she'll peer inside with cross bow readied.
perception check
If not she will head inside and take up a position in the house with a view of the body on the floor but she will wait for the others to act with her crossbow readied to attack anything that comes out of the hole inside.
From your vintage point, you can tell that he hasn't moved since coming in, and didn't respond to your "hello"
You don't notice any other points of entry and you don't notice anything out of the ordinary.
He looks quite still and he doesn't appear to be breathing. Nothing jumps out at you
Before they leave, Olly says to Alisand, "If you think you can help, come along! These goblins are nasty, and they're more organized than most."
In Artie's room, Olly squeezes up next to Zella and Darius to get a look at the hole, trying to figure out where it might go.
Olly steps back, a puzzled expression on her face. "That hole is just going to go under the house. Unless the goblins have dug something out underneath, there's no way out from under there except the hole. What are they up to?!"
She steps back out of the way of Noro's pulling. "If he's too stuck, say so and I'll grease the edge of the hole."
"Maybe you should just go ahead and grease the edge anyway. If he's just unconscious we don't want to cause him further harm by roughly yanking him out of the hole if he is caught on something." Zella's trying to be optimistic about the situation, thinking of the man's wife and children waiting for word about him.
"As for what the goblins might be up to, who knows? Most aren't anywhere near as intelligent as Flit, they might not have any idea what they are doing."
"Except that we've already seen that these goblins are doing things we don't expect goblins to do. They seem ... I don't know, more organized?"
If Noro doesn't object, Olly will cast Grease on the edge of the hole.
Combined with the grease, Noro easily pulls up the man. As you pull him up, you can see that not only is he dead, but the flesh and meat from his face and upper torso are gone.

Damn, well would eshplain the lack of resposhe Nor comments to herself
Noro stands wiping her hands on her pants, dirtied from the blood of the body. She looks about the room a moment then heads out
The kid is all she manages to saw as she leaves.
Noro leaves the room to see if the rest of the family is nearby or not. she will try and stop them from coming in if they are there.
Though she knew the man might be dead, Zella didn't expect him to be half-eaten and she screams at the sight of the fleshless face and hides behind Darius so she doesn't have to look at it.
When she gets the chance Alisand steps forward and examines the body.
Heal check
She'll then crouch five feet away and use her keen eyesite in the dark to look into the hole with her crossbow readied after Noro moves away. Common you little bastard...where are you..
If she doesnt see anything, she'll think about ways to get this thing out of the hole and see if she can recall.
Olly turns away in disgust, trying not to throw up. Desperate for something else to look at, she realizes, Whatever did that must still be down there. She peers down into the hole.
Olly is surprised as a large wicked looking blade comes slicing at her face as the wildest and craziest looking goblin comes up from the hole.
Olly gets slashed across the face as the goblin screams out "TASTY FLESH!!!"
Olly shrieks in pain and stumbles backwards . With blood dripping down her face, she flings a bit of wool at the goblin, hoping to distract and daze it.
The goblin slaps away the wool and looks as murderous as ever, "Tasty Gnome! Gresgurt eat you up!!!"

Noro comes out to intercept the familybefore they can enter the house.
Pleashe, Don't go in. Noro begs of them with s serious look of concern for the well being of Artie and the family.
soon she hears some comotion inside. Pleashe, shtay here I think the gobli has shown iself. I'll let you know when it ish shafe
as she turns to head back in Noro, glances back to give a look to the mother indicating by her look that her worst fears are true its best to let the mother tell her son than someone like me
Noro hears the noise of the goblin yelling inside. She turns back to go inside to size up the situation.
with only one goblin to deal with things got a bit easier.
Fear for her partner overcoming her disgust, Zella steps forward to stab at the goblin with her sword. "Olly!"
Readied light Crossbow Dmg
On her turn she will cast Doom Dc 15 on the goblin and try to Take a five foot step away and then reload her crossbow.
Darius couldn't help but smirk at Zella taking cover behind him. He stands ready with his weapon assembled as Noro pulls the man out of the whole. When Olly fell back from the whole, and he saw the goblin, He moved next to the dancer and struck out at the goblin.
The bolt and the sword strike from Zelladania goes wide, but Darius strikes the goblin true. The goblin screams out in bloody rage at Darius and launches himself at him.
But Darius easily avoids the blow of the large, nasty looking rusted weapon.
"Oh no, you're not allowed to attack him either!" Zella stabs at the goblin again with her sword.
Olly spits some blood out of her mouth and starts drumming, her anger and disgust at the goblin coming through in the fast pace and thumping rhythm.
Wanting to slow the creature down from it's crazed attack and outraged at the death of the poor man Alisand pronounces a judgement on the creature.
This judgment spurs the inquisitor to seek justice, granting a +1 sacred bonus on all attack rolls. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses.
"Vile creature you have caused wanton destruction and justice will be served!"
Alisand reloads a quarrel into her crossbow with a curse and a scowl.
Hearing Noro's suggestion, Darius drops his weapon and takes a swing at the goblin.
As his punch connects, he says, "Good idea."
Zelladania's slash connects on the goblin's shoulder, and red is shown from under his leather. Noro runs to grapple the Goblin, but trips on some furniture and is knocked prone. Darius sucessfully punches him in his rather large nose as Alisand's crossbow bolt thuds into the floor beside him.
The goblin hisses at Darius "Gresgurt eat black elf!!"
The rusted sword bites into Darius side, and the sight of the blood causes Gresgurt to go into a frenzy.
"Gresgurt stuck elf like pig! Elf Bleed!!!"
He slashes at Darius again, intending to stab him in the stomach.
But his attack clings on Darius' armor
