Voryn nods.

"What do you see, Swift?"
Voryn follows example, draws his two-hander and charges the other skeleton.
Voryn silently opens the door just enough to peek through.
"It's clear. It's some kind of storage." Voryn whispers. He climbs up, still stealthy, and helps the others up.
"Let me go first. Have a look at what's up there" Voryn whispers and silently climbs up the ladder. He very cautiously pushes the trap door slightly open, just enough so that he can take a peek.
"All we know is that there has been a ghoul attack at a nearby farm and that tracks lead to a certain cave. We suspect the tracks might be of the hooded man you've seen. If it is, he is a murderer, and it falls upon us to stop him, before he kills again."
"Quiet! Look at that. I think it's a baby wyvern. Its mother is likely to be nearby, so we'd better be prepared." He draws his greatsword and crouches.
"What has happened, Mr. Swift? Where are we going?" Voryn looks confused.
"I could sure use a nap as well. I don't think I can wait.. *yawn*.. until Kotla." He gets up in the wagon and puts his hood over his head. "Wake me up if there's any trouble."
Voryn looks himself up and down. "I am unschated. The bat wasn't so lucky, but at least it can still fly. Shall we head back to the healer?"
Voryn puts all his might into his next attack.
Seeing no other way, Voryn attacks the giant bat. As he swings the sword, it feels almost as if the blade directs itself.
Realizing that the loud noise of the rock bouncing off the altar will surely alert the bat to their presence and that it will most likely see them as a threat and try to attack them, Voryn gets in a defensive position. No reason to attack first. Maybe it will just fly away.
Voryn turns to Calistria and the altar. "Can't believe I didn't notice that. Hold on, let me pay my respect to Old Deadeye before we leave." He kneels by the altar and prays.
Voryn crouches by the pool and fills his waterskin with the holy water and helps filling whatever containers in the party's possession that they agree should be filled.
Voryn who is also fatigued attempts to sneak by the bat as well.
Garekk, Voryn and Calistria is one team. Swift, Hailey and Vorel is the other. Who is Sir Rois with?
A hot water tank is heavy! Helped my father change one recently.
Voryn starts heaving with all his might.
Voryn nods. He takes off his breastplate and straps it to his back, before he starts climbing.
Voryn hurries over to Calistria's side. "Are you okay? That was quite a fall..." He offers her a hand to help her on her feet.
"Looks like we're going to have to climb," Voryn says, looking up toward the cave entrance above them. "Or maybe there's another way... Perhaps that is just one entrance, or an old vantage point or something. Perhaps there is another entrance at ground level somewhere... Maybe there's a secret entrance..."
"I am ready as well," Voryn says. "But I wonder why no one is willing to take us there..."
Hrm, a quest... An ancient abandoned temple with a sacred pool of water within... Sounds wondrous! I can't wait to see it... I wonder how our friends are doing in Kotla.. They're probably hunting down the ghoul who bit the priest in the first place.. Voryn snaps out of his thoughts. "Yes, and are there any dangers to the temple that we should be know about, sir? Not that danger is going to keep us away, but any information is helpful, as it'll give us a chance to prepare properly."
Perhaps he needs something done that we can do in exchange
Tired but determined Voryn looks at his comrades: "We must find the chateau as quickly as possible. Perhaps we should awaken a peasant and ask for direction..."
I guess we gave the wolf pelts to you guys so you could turn them in, while the rest of us traveled to the chateau with the sick man
I think we are going to leave in the night, so we have better chances of saving the man's life. Calistria returned to the rest of us per this post.
"We can't spare any time then! We'll have to travel through the night and make haste."
@Hailey Did you get the exact location of where he was bitten by a ghoul?
Voryn looks at his companions. "One of us should go in and ask the man where he was when he was bitten by a ghoul. He's probably feverish and I don't want to scare him, so maybe it's best if it's one of you."
Where are we? In the house of the sick priest or a tavern or somewhere else?
"If he was truly bitten by a ghoul, we should hunt down the creature and slay it, so that no one else falls prey to such a foul disease. It is good information that you have gathered Lady Besh. And I know that your intention wasn't evil when you suggested to put the infected out of his missery, as you saw no better solution, but Lady Calistria is determined to find a way to save the man's life. Perhaps her resolve will bear fruit, but I fear that nothing can be done." He looks to Rois, Swift-Palm and Vorel "It is getting dark, so we should probably wait until tomorrow, but I suggest we hunt down the ghoul responsible for this man's illness. What say you, friends?"
Voryn nods to Rois. "Aye. Let us return to Kotla then."
Voryn holds the knife and examines it for a bit. "It is a fine blade, Sir Rois. Your son must have been quite the craftsman." Voryn then proceeds to make a cut up the lower side of one of the wolves and up its legs, and opens and removes the skin from the animal. He repeats the procedure with the remaining wolf, and cleans the knife with a piece of cloth, before handing it back to Sir Rois. "Shall we hunt for more or return to Kotla?"
"We'll have to skin them. Unfortunetaly I haven't brought my skinning knife. Has anyone got a knife?"
Voryn follows example, drops his bow and draws his greatsword while moving 40 feet forward.
Ok cool
The stealth check from when we found the wolf tracks doesn't apply?
Voryn waits for the others to move into position, and then he lets go of the arrow that he has aimed at one of the wolves.
I will account for those who want to sneak closer in my post, but I'm going to make an attack
