Ashes, all [closed]

[Kobold Stew]

Heron leaves the house, and makes a point to close the door.

He checks visually to see if the prisoner is still there, and whether he's struggling (or conscious). If all seems well, he heads to the barn to see if there are animals that have been left unfed.

 

[PierceSG]

Not willing to let Heron roam about alone after the previous fight, Ashurn tags along to the barn.

Bree make sure no one can hear her, then says a soft prayer "Helm, I ask you to watch over these children, protect them, but if they are beyond your reach, may Kelemvor judge them with kindness and mercy."

With that joins the others outside.

On the way out of the house, you pass by the Lizarkin. It is still quite unconscious and appears as though it will be for some time yet.
Outside, it is nearly completely dark now. The stars shine bright in the night sky and a pale crescent moon low on the horizon give a bit of light, but you are definitely glad for the lantern to light the way to the barn.
As you approach close to the large bay doors, you hear a soft rustling, as if hay is being moved.

 

[PierceSG]

Ashurn whispers, "Do you want me to charge and kick open the doors?", as he eyes the barn doors.

OOC: If anyone perception is good enough, maybe they could advice what Ashurn to do, like if the barn door is too thick and sturdy for him to knock open, advise him not to charge.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Heron is still confused about what the group intends to do with the lizard creature, but since it is unconscious, he is for the moment unconcerned.

As he approaches the barn, Heron is unconcerned by the darkness, and in fact barely notices that it's gotten dark. He hears the rustling, and so does not yet put away his sword, but doesn't see the immediate likelihoodof combat.

He turns to Ashurn, and says "Wait a moment." He then calls out in common, "Is there anyone inside there? We are here to help you."

The barn door is a sliding door and is open approximately three feet. The interior is totally dark. At the sound of voices, the rustling stops.

 

[Kaodi]

Lester retrieves a torch from his pack and proceeds to light it, or try to light it, which some poorly controlled magical sparks. After a few moments the pitch catches, and the party has light to see by in the darkness. "Hello?" he says timidly as he approaches the barn door and holds out his torch just inside to provide something to see.

 

[mips42]

With a furoius rustling, a large, grey striped cat rushes out of the barn door, jumps at Lester and, with a dexterity he didn't know he had, Lester manages to catch it in his arms.
The cat then begins to purr loudly and issues a furtive 'mrowr'?
The cat is wearing a leather collar that has the word 'Peasea' carved into it.

 

[Kaodi]

Lester almost drops his torch, which 'Peasea' would not likely have appreciated. At least, Lester has never known a cat to enjoy being lit on fire. Certainly not his old master's familiar, that was for certain...

"Um, mrowr?" the mage imitates, at a loss for words. He awkwardly attempts to snuggle the cat in one arm before passing off the torch so that he does not make such a hack job of it.
