'Maybe someone salvaged it before we got here," Zaratina ponders.

Hallimir notices that the soil along one slope of the hill (X marks the spot) is looser than it should be, as if a recent rockslide had covered it. It only takes a few minutes of digging to uncover a solid metal surface buried below. The pod is ovoid, just over 10 feet in length and 5 feet in diameter at its widest point. The metal itself is strange and unfamiliar, but with a successful
Strange metal - Knowledge (nature) DC 20:
It as an alloy of iron and the sky metal adamantine.
The entire wreck appears to be relatively undamaged. Its surface is scratched and dented but unbroken, and a 3-by-5-foot section of the side appears as though it could be opened on a strange recessed hinge assembly.

Zaratina looks around for anything that might serve as a lever--that isn't a weapon--and with or without such a tool, attempts to pry open the casket.
She spits in her hand and rubs them together. "Let me try."

Arathorn is going to keep an eye out with an arrow knocked Feel like that isn't spelled right sadly. while Hallimir and Zaratina attempt to open the object.

The inside of the wreck is cramped. A single chair made out of the same strange metal faces the hatch, dozens of straps hang inside the device, and an array of levers and buttons lines the interior on one side. Several dozen palm-sized metallic discs and an unadorned silvery bracer lie scattered across the interior.

Metallic discs? - Appraise, Knowledge (engineering, or local) DC 15:
The discs are Numerian "silverdisks". They are used as a form of currency in Numeria (though select others outside the land will accept them). There are a total of 35 and each is worth 10 gp to the right person.
Silver bracelet? - Knowledge (engineering) DC 18:
The item can be activated with a touch while active the sounds coming in from around you sound muffled like you are underwater and faint purple nimbus forms a couple of inches all around your body. With a few quick tests you note that items that approach you (like a silver disc flipped in the air at you or even originating from your own hand) seem to slow down as they draw near the nimbus.

"Well then....i guess that's that"
Hallimir has a quick glance around pod from the hatch before climbing into the strange metallic chair.
"Alright....lets see what we have here" he says inspecting the disks
Knowledge (local):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 no idea :-)
Blane kinda glances over at the strange metallic thing. "i have no clue what that is or where it could have come from."
Blane climbs down off the back of surper awesome sparkle cake.
As hallimir picks up the metal discs and look at them.
"hallimir hand me that bracer looking thingy there. blane will atempt to put it on.
i will guess its for a med but he will try to put it on anyways

While Arathorn takes a look inside the compartment and picks up one of the discs; he doesnt see a need to try to climb in and will continue to keep watch while the rest of the group investigates.
Appraise:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Nope...sorry got nothing for this completely out of my knowledge base both for the object and everything inside of it.

Anyone can try the Appraise check.
As Blane wraps the silver band about his wrist, a faint nimbus of purple light suddenly appears about an inch away from his body, and all the sound around him seems slightly muted, like he had just stuck his head underwater (though not actually quite that bad).

Hallimir continues to examine the disks
Without much avail.
appraise:1d20 ⇒ 12
He shrugs just as he looks up a Blanes comment then tosses the disks on the ground as he quickly climbs out of the pod , his interest in this new development clearly peaked

Interesting Blane see the aura but dunno what it is...Hmm probably should cast Detect Magic to make sure that we aren't missing anything...Also Hallimir does the journal specify what we should bring back from this wreck...Doubt we can move the whole thing but probably should bring back anything that we can.

"The disks are Numerian currancy," Zaratina informs the others. She gathers the disks and prepares to head back to civilization.

Hallimir pulls out the journal and scans it for indicaiton of what Ulisha mihgt be after,
"Ulisha makes no reference to anything specific, but I imagine any small items would fetch a hefty price. We should also inform the Society of this pod's location so that a full survey team can be dispatched to recover it any any oter artefacts for study."
He then notes down the location on his map.
"we should probably bury the pod again so that none of the locals destroy it before it can be returned to the Society"

The journal supposes that the site is one that has been overlooked and that only Ulisha's luck and tenacity allowed her to put the clues together that discovered it. So she didn't really know what you would find--in this case 35 silver discs, and the personal [i]self-immolator[/s]. I mean the bracelet.

After listening to Hallimir.
Good idea lets take a little time to remove our presence so the guild can send a specialist to take a look at it.
Arathorn with use a couple of 10s and 20s for survival to hide most of the trace of the group and hopefully to help hide the disturbance of digging for the object after the rest of the group covers it some.

Arathorn moves quickly forward to Hallimir.
Not sure if taking 10 for stealth would work here giving me a value of 17 but figured would try that while moving up.
WhispersWe got company coming up the trail...Counted 3...Do you think we should fall back and fight them at the trailhead if they are hostile.
Could I tell if they are tracking us or just moving up the trail when I spotted them, and just out of curiosity should I be putting these in spoilers or since I was sharing with the group anyways it doesn't matter.

A look of caution and urgency flashes across Hallimir's face,
Whispering" We have the tactical advantage up here....we should let them come into this narrow path so we have control until we establish their motives. If they atack, then we can easily contain them"
With that Hallimir moves quietly back towards the summit and peers between the rocks to observe the oncomming travellers.
stealth:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
"we have armed men heading this way....I am going to keep an eye on them until they are in this bottle neck" he wispers as he passes Blane and Zaratina.

Zaratina falls back around the corner and readies her trident and shield.
Blane not sure whats going on see's his friends moving back tp the top of the hill leads. His pony back to the top where he just stands there looking confused. i dont know when eceryone came back up here and there lips are moving but cant hear what there saying why is that......oh ya this weird metal thing.
Blane will take off the metal piece and put it his saddle bag on the super awesome sparkle cake.
Speaking up"whats going on guys when did everyone come back up here?"

Hallimir shoots Blane an urgent look (something akin to WTF...shut the hell up :-)) and holds his finger to his lips then gestures over the cliff that 3 people are approaching.

dice:
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 1d20 ⇒ 10 1d20 ⇒ 16
The three slow their advance, draw weapons, and look up to the summit

While miming punching Blane; Arathorn quickly takes a peek over the edge and seeing weapons drawn. He approaches the edge with his bow half drawn though not picking out a target yet.
Hold right there!
Attempting to determine if they were tracking us to be on the trail along with any hostility.
Sense motive:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
[ooc]Welp that failed though think we are going sans plan beyond holding the high ground since Blane played the bracelet correctly.
“Hold,” demands a large Kellid man hefting a massive blade. “You’re are not from here, and those things that you are undoubtedly taking are not yours. Give us the silverdisks, all the gold you have, and anything else you found there. Then you may live. I will give you until the count of three to come down.”
He nods grimly and with that the three dash for cover along the slope. They are coming for you.

From behind the rock he is using to hide, Hallimir calls out to the Kellids
"My good man, this site is not worth your time. There is precious little here. Come up and inspect the site for yourself if you wish. But our few posessions are our own."

"Common bandits," Zaratina says. She moves across the hill to engage any who might try to climb the cliff.
Laying flat agianst the hillside the men are hard to get a bead on (read: cover) and what follows is a standoff broken moments later by the big Kellid.
"Tell you what, if you imagine us to be dishonerable men send the person you like least among your party down with the treasure. That way if we kill them at least you are not out much."

Hallimir contemplates for a moment before calling back, "A fine offer, but I habe I have a better one.....leave now and we may yet 'forget' to mention to the Black Sovereign that you threatened and interfered with this expedition.
After All, It was he that hired us to explore this area in search of new artifacts to help further his dominance."

"No not the guild.....mercenaries, who simply wish to get paid for their work. But that being said, interfering with this expedition may attract the attention of the guild....are you really willing to risk that?"
Hallimir looks over at the rest of the party anxiously whilst silently drawing his curve blade.

Arathorn looks briefly at Hallimir and motions keep going but is unwilling to provide speak further considering the barbarians just ignored him. Before going back to watching around the rock for any of them to step into view.

Just curious how much time will have passed from when I cast Gravity Bow it is 1 min duration. Also, assuming the orange doesn't have any concealment from Arathorn if so will move the target to whichever one he can see with the least amount of cover.
Seeing them rush Arathorn draw back and takes a shot at the one most visible.

It takes at minimum a minute to try and bluff someone into believing a lie--so a minute will have passed. Now that they are up and moving, the Kellids don't have cover.
