Spoiler:
Hunter's instinct taking over Vraelyn moves to continue following her quarry. Carefully she moves the dirt enough to squeeze through and continue onwards.

I just want to scream at the silly elf right now!


Male Halfling Rogue/3

"Skillata, can I trust you not to cause me or my companions any grief? I'd be of more use to them without having to keep eyes and my blade on you."

Talam looks down the stairs, "Either way, we have to get moving"

Spoiler:
Sense Motive on her reply, 1d20-1=4 Wow, now that sucked!

Spoiler:
You have no problems getting through the fresh dirt. You are now on the other side and its completly dark. The dirt and some other rocks fall behind you and close off the way you just came. You can see the other cave in from the other side you noticed earlier where Coppertop and Blackleaf fought the goblins just moments ago. You see a passage off to your right that leads off into the dark....

** spoiler omitted **

You sense that she is ok with whatever you decide. The look in her eyes says it all, she wants you and will do whatever it takes to keep you.

Vraelyn

Spoiler:
What you thought was a new passage turns out to be a dead end with two doors in front of you, looking at the dust on the floor you see most of the traffic is to the right door but there are also tracks to the left one......


Female Elf Druid 2

DM:

Spoiler:
Vraelyn casts light upon her dagger to help her see where she's going. Carefully she puts an ear to the right door first and listens at it, before attempting to open it (with added caution if she hears,anything0

Listen (1d20+6=10)

Liberty's Edge

Etienne, Talacyst and Talam catch up to Coppertop and Blackleaf at the end of the hallway leaving Skillata behind who is heading back up the stairs. You all hear cursing and muttering coming from the door that they are standing by. Blackleaf is checking out the the cave in noticing dirt and rocks moving, he figures that is the way Vraelyn has gone since both doors are locked and is kinda miffed that she's having all the fun right now. The door looks solid to Coppertop by his own estimation who has been checking to door frantically thinking Ameiko is the one behind the door and her brother might be in there doing hurtful things to her.......

Etienne

Spoiler:
Your skin trembles as you stand there, you sense a small presence of evil behind the cave in. It feels old, your not sure if its just a left over from a forgotten time or its something new.....


Male Human Cleric 1

Coppertop says, “We need to get this door open quick!”


Male Halfling Rogue/3

"Let me have a look"

Spoiler:
Search 1d20+2=19; If there's a lock, Open Lock 1d20+8=21


Male Elf (Crying Leaf) Transmuter 1

Talacyst frowns as he crouches a short ways away from the door, listening intently.

I'm listening to see if I can identify the speaker, the language they're speaking, any phrases... that sort of thing.
Listen check. (1d20 3=4) Doh!

Liberty's Edge

While the sneak works on the lock the elf bends down and listens at the door. He can hear a female in the room, muttering and struggling, most likely from her bonds. Talam has no problem with the lock, you can hear a loud click as the tumbler shifts to the unlock position....


Male Human Cleric 1

Coppertop hesitates for a moment. His desire to rush thru the door and save Ameiko warring with his respect for Etienne Nevar’s battle leadership.


Male Elf (Crying Leaf) Transmuter 1

Straightening, Talacyst says softly, "There's a woman in there, and it sounds like she's struggling against something." He gives Coppertop a sideways glance, wondering what the young man will do.


Male Halfling Rogue/3

"Well that's all the encouragement I need", reacting to Talacyst's words he draws his blade and pushes the door open.

Liberty's Edge

Talam opens the door to a small room that looks to be used as a storage room. Laying on her side you see Amieko, bound at the wrists and ankles with rope, blindfolded and a gag in her mouth but she has worked it half off allowing you to hear her earlier. She stops struggling when she hears the door swing open.....

"Ameiko", Talam rushes in taking off the blindfold and gag.

"Ameiko are you alright", he takes his dagger and cuts loose the ropes


Male Human Cleric 1

Spurred into action by Talam, Coppertop bolts into the room. He whirls about in an attempt to see any threat that might be in the room.

Liberty's Edge

Once the blindfold is taken off Ameiko smiles and says Oh thank you so much, my evil brother is doing all this bad stuff to the town and I couldn't stop him.....and he killed my father....
At that she breaks down crying sitting on the floor with Talam next to her and Copperpot looking around the storage room. He sees no one to cause anymore damage to this already painful day. Talacyst, at the doorway sees Blackleaf eyeing the cave in which is still moving from someone digging through...

Spoiler:
You hear a movement in the room and cursing, something to the effect of, "this is going all wrong, I need to warn Nualia... and it trails off after that so you can hear anything anymore from the room. You hear crying coming from the other side of the cave in though....Sorry I missed your post until now, I just noticed it.!

Before Talam leaves Search cheack on the room. Do you perfer to roll those checks or us? If the latter 1d20-1=11

Curiosity overwhelming her Vraelyn moves steadily forward, keeping as quiet as possible as she tries to follow the voice, trying to get as much information as possible before moving to strike or to talk.

Spoiler:
All that you see around the storage room is more stuff for making glassware. I like it when you guys make the rolls!!

For Talam, Coppertop, Taalcyst and Blackleaf

Spoiler:
Ameiko see the small guy checking around the room as you go to make your exit,I saw that my brother had somekind of journal on him at all times, I did not see much of it but I did notice a map half sticking out of it one time.....

Spoiler:
After more listening you can tell he is still there but not much other than that. He seems to be packing stuff if you had to guess.


Female Elf Druid 2

DM:

Spoiler:
An arrow notched in her bow Vraelyn takes a deep breath and makes her way into the room. "I'm not here to fight but I will shoot if you force me to"


Male Human Cleric 1

Coppertop asks Ameiko, “Where is your brother now?”


Male Elf Ranger { Skirmisher} 1

Blackleaf sees that the lady is safe, and goes though the cave.

Vraelyn

Spoiler:
You open the door and slide into the room as quietly as possible. As you move in you see an half elf standing there with a bow pointed right at you. You say "I'm not here to fight but I will shoot if you force me to". He smiles at you and sways a bit. You notice the room reeks of booze, and can see many empty bottles laying around. He says in a somewhat slurred voice, You are the one who is going to force me to shoot if you do not leave now....

I do not know Coppertop, He left me here all tied up and I was blindfolded the whole time we were down here. She takes your arm for support and gives you a weak smile of thanks....

The cave in has settled a bit as you had stood there investigating it. It takes a few moments to burrow you way though. You reach the other side and hear two voices talking. Your eyes are covered in dirt so its hard for you to see.


Male Elf Ranger { Skirmisher} 1

Blackleaf lays silent trying to make out what is being said.

listen check 19

Blackleaf

Spoiler:
You have trouble hearing at first with all the dirt that got into your ears but after you clean them out a bit you can hear Vraelyn and some man exchanging words. It sounds like a confrontation, neither one backing down. ....

Liberty's Edge

Talam

Spoiler:
As you stand there in the hallway with Coppertop, Ameiko and Talcyst, your halfling curiousity starts to raise the hairs on your neck as you remember the locked door you passed up earlier. You can see the door where you stand just calling your name......


Male Halfling Rogue/3

"Hmm...", Talam slips away from the others as he remembers the door he passed earlier. "Let's just see what's in there"

Spoiler:
Search 1d20-1=17 and Open Lock 1d20+8=18


Female Elf Druid 2

DM:

Spoiler:
"I'm not going anywhere, or lowering this weapon. But really, do you want to shoot me? A person who has a chance of understanding you and your motivations in all of this? I think differently to the others in Sandpoint, would you talk to me about what you're doing here?"

Also, considering Vraelyn's age and how long she's been in the area does she remember the name Nualia?


Male Elf Ranger { Skirmisher} 1

Blackleaf bursts from the cave bringing his ax up as he moves from the hole.

Liberty's Edge

Talam

Spoiler:

You easily open the lock on the door and push it open to see into the room which turns out to be a another storage room. A quick search of the room finds mostly products used in making glasswear. You do see a slip of paper on the floor.....


Male Halfling Rogue/3

Spoiler:
"What's this..." Talam reaches down and picks up the paper

Well it seems we are at an inpass, I am going to leave because I have important work to get done....He cocks his head to one side..You seem familiar to me, have we met before? Your from around here aren't you, thats why your here trying to play the hero, oh got to save the good folk of Sandpoint, well honey this town is going to burn to the ground and there is not one thing you can do about it even if you kill me....

You jump up off the ground but are still sorta blinded by the dirt and grime covering your eyes, you can still hear the voices somewhere in front of you. give me a dex check roll


Female Elf Druid 2

DM:

Spoiler:
Vraelyn looks closely at the man and nods "I'm fairly certain we were the strange children of the academy together. I tried to talk to you once but you weren't interested" she replies simply "Even if Sandpoint burns, it will still be Sandpoint. I was here before it was settled and will continue to be if it burns or if it doesn't."

"But really, what good will destroying the town truly do?"

Talam

Spoiler:
The paper is torn on one of its sides, most of it is smudged from dirt and a little dampness so its hard to read. You can make out a small part it though, "The raid went about as planned. Few Thistletop goblins perished, and we were able to secure Tobyn's casket with ease while the rubes were distracted by the rest. I can't wait until the real raid. This town deserves a burning, that's for sure".
You have heard that name before but are not sure where, Coppertop might know since he lives here...

Liberty's Edge

Ameiko smiles up at Coppertop as she holds his arm for support, she then smiles over at Talacyst and says...Thank you for your help Talacyst, I know this dungeon air must not be good for you to breath, it was kind of you and Coppertop to save me from my evil brother.......she gives Coppertop's arm a squeeze and another warm smile.....

Liberty's Edge

He stares at you with a look of trying to remember, he shakes his head and says..[b]The place just needs to burn and the reasons are none of you business, now get out of my way or you will die now....

Male Halfling Rogue/3

Talam walks from the room making a bee line to Coppertop. "Hey Coppertop you may want to have a look at this", the young halfling hands him the paper he recently found.


Female Elf Druid 2

Spoiler:
"But what if I could understand? And possibly help?" Vraelyn questions, determined to get as much information as possible out of him before engaging in any form of combat.

Talacyst moves to the cave in and begins to climb through, Blackleaf made it easier for you to get through as he pushed alot of the dirt to the side, you get to the other side and are covered in dirt, you can see a little but you do have dirt in your eyes making it difficult. You see Blackleaf stumbling around trying to move to the open door but he runs into the wall instead...Talam is showing Coppertop and Etienne the paper he found....
