Thank you Anevia. Can anyone make sure this food is good to eat? About time we stopped for a meal, and we need to keep our strength up. How is that leg? Do we need to make any more adjustments to make you more comfortable?
Nossac asks with a genuine tone.
"It aches a little. A rest and some food would be nice," replies Anevia to Nossac's concern.
Moving upwards along the tunnel, and using the handholds to assist the movement, Hegron maintains his senses fully alert for what may lie ahead.
Morgrym stumps along, too tired to concentrate. Torag teaches endurance, though, and that is a lesson Morgrym excelled at.
Everyone take a breather, and get something to eat. Hegron looks like he is scouting ahead, let's wait till he gives the all clear and press on.
Nossac makes sure everyone gets some food and keeps an eye out for anything coming up behind them.
The cloak is a cloak of resistance, it would increase your protection against poisons, magical explosions, mind affects and other things. I would take it, but I am sure others would see more use out of it than I. I am unsure on the scrolls though, Aravashnial could you determine their use? And do you know anyhting about potions?
"I am sorry Andlat, I cannot read the scrolls, and I don't know about the potions either I'm afraid"
"Hmph. Magic. Not my area, lad. G'luck"
Without much pondering, Hegron moves forward, speaking in a firm tone - "We'll met strangers! Do you need assistance?"
Morgrym starts and, tiredly, falls into a guard position.
"Do you see something Hegron?" he hisses, peering into the darkness
"It seems someone is in trouble up ahead" - Hegron whispers back - "But they have not responded to my question..."
The elfish looking one turns to face Hegron. When he turns you see that his second half of his face appears like a lizardfolks, with a goat's horn coming off of one side of his head. “If your intentions are ill, we ask you to move on and leave us in peace. If they are good, then perhaps you can help. As you can see, misfortune has befallen us.”
They appear to have dug down so that only one rock remains between them and their friend. Lifting away this rock will require a 25 Strength check, with up to 6 people lifting.
"I'd like to think they're nice people, but we should leave at least some people on guard."
Aveina and Foradass could stand guard while the rest of us try to move that rock. Not sure I'll be a lot of help though.
Nossac gathers the others and moves up to the rest. Seeing the pinned figure, he immediately moves to help but feels that it would be best to make sure these creatures need is genuine.
Please let us help you. Everyone please help me clear the rest of the debris.

"We have no ill intentions, if you do not threaten us" - Hegron nods seriously, motioning for the others to join them - "We will help"
Moving to the boulder and taking a deep breath, Hegron starts pulling - his muscles bulging with effort. However he does not seem to get a good grip on the massive stone, and is unsuccessful in his efforts.
"Torag bless ye Nossac, yer' a good man...er, elf."
Morgrym lowers his shield and tries to assist, but he's been working on reserves for the last day, and there's little left to draw on.
Andlat attempts to assist but he is too weak
I'm sorry, I haven't the strength
Thank you for your help, give the two of us some room to assist you," says the elf/lizard/goat, his boil covered companion gurgling the entire time.
Hegron continues insisting, his arms and back straining with the effort, he goes at it with renewed fury - "I'll be damned if I can't..."
We almost got it. I think we might have loosened it up, let's give it another go.
Nossac focuses all his strength and says a prayer to Erastil.
All together!
The monsters beginning focusing their Strength together to try to lift the rock.
"Alomst there....!" grunts the elfish one.
Just a bit more
Andlat gets a better grip this time.
"Ah, yer a strange lookin' lad, but may Torag smile on ye anyway"
Working together, you manage to move the last rock, revealing a a creature that looks to be a halfing, only taller than your average human. They other two make sure it is okay and the elfish one turns to you "Thank your for your help strangers. My name is Lann. I must invite you back to our villiage with us, so that out chief is able to thank you all personally for what you did here for us. Will you accept?"
Of course, but first we need to get out of here... Unless your village is subterranean? My name is Nossac.
Nossac extends a hand as a kind gesture towards the creature.
"Greeting Nossac," Lann looks at you and touches the elven part of his face, "You and I appear to be as one. Tell me, what are you?"
I am an Elf, and devout paladin of Erastil. It does seem that at one point we did share heritage, do you not know of your lineage?
Nossac says looking inquisitive.
Lann motions to his two friends "We are all descendants of crusaders from one-hundred years ago."
Aravashnial perks up at this "Crusaders?! Your ancestors were crusaders?" he turns to you all, "Friends," he whispers, "What do they looks like?"
They're appearance is of no consequence, one seems to be of my kin. They all actually seem to be hybrids. Nossac responds to Aravashnial.
He turns to the new comers and begins questioning gently.
Can you tell us more about how you got down here and the events that led up to your companion being trapped? Were any of you injured when the demons attacked?
Lann looks confused, "Demons? We have encountered no such thing." The boiled one gargles a bit. "Yes Dyra you are correct, that would explain all the shaking the caves have been doing latly. Crel here was trapped inn an...'aftershock' I believe is what our chief called it. He is more knowledgble about your surrface trems, but he tries to keep us educated in our ansestors ways. We were sent here by our villiage. This is a place where guards from our villiage are posted to watch for intruders. And as for you earlier question, our villiage is in the caves."
"The surface has been attacked by an onslaught of demons" - Hegron blurts out - "We fell down here after they ripped the very earth beneath us and..." - catching himself in midsentence, he stops short - "My apologies - I am Hegron" - then he turns to the one they have just unburied - "How are you feeling?"
I am Andlat, brother to Morgrym here, and this is my partner Foradass. How have you survived down here for so long with no one knowing about you?
Greetings mixed ones. Your appearance is unfamiliar even to me, and I have lived many of your Golarian years, though I suppose my appearance must be strange to you as well.
"Yes, you are all very strange. But if the world above is being attacked y demons, it may explain something happening down here. Perhapes we should leave to our villiage. Our chief will most certainly wish to talk to you"
Friendly faces are always a welcome sight. Would your village also have the means to assist our crippled companion(s)?
