"Oh yeah. Of course. I can creep right across the open, exposed bridge that provides no cover or concealment. No problem. No one will ever see me." replies the young rogue with all the sarcasm of youth.
Jovik does however step onto the bridge, his new dagger in hand. Once he assures himself the bridge will hold his weight, he moves quickly and lightly over the expanse, not worrying about being seen since nothing would prevent that.

Any update on the spellcraft check on the wand?
Yes, sorry about that. I forgot.
IC: The wand has an interesting mechanism. The amber gem at the tip appears to be the activation mechanism. You simply twist the amber head of the wand, the head engages and that appears to activate the functionality.
It is a Wand of Produce Flame. You are unsure of the number of charges.

Jokad casts a sidelong glance at Danth but the young cleric is unsure if it is in anger or concern.
Jovik scrambles out onto the bridge before he can react so he quickly draws his bow and prepares to feather the first thing he sees on the other side. His jaw is set tight and the look in his eye promises violence.

The Rope Bridge
Jovik edges forward towards the edge of the rope bridge. It is long and narrow, and appears to have been made with the same attention to craftsmanship as the rest of the crap that the goblins jerry-rig together. The rope itself is thick enough, if a little hairy and worn, but the planks are so mismatched and haphazard as to make a crossing treacherous.
Jovik puts one hand on the rope at each side and prepares to step onto the bridge. His eyes drift down to the sea. There is a drop of 80 foot into the water. The waves below are breaking hard against the cliff. It does not look like a fun place to visit!
He creeps across. Each step creaks and wobbles, but it holds. It did not, however, feel particularly strong.
Ahead of Jovik is the stockade and the rounded expanse of the small island. The stockade is made of thick wood. You can see, even from here, that most of the wood appears to have been scavenged from ships. A few nameplates remain affixed to some of the timbers, while others look like they might once have been masts.
The island appears empty, but it does not sound silent. You can hear faint noises from the north west, sort of to one side of the stockade and back a bit. It sounds like goblin voices raised in delight, with the odd yapping of goblin dog thrown in for fun. You are not close enough to the stockade to hear any noises within, but you assume it is probably full of the little buggers.
Somewhere within here your nemesis is to be found.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention: the stockade is large, about 90 foot across. The island is only perhaps 110 foot across, so it appears to really eat up most of the space. There are no windows (goblins don't like light over much), but on the left and right side are small watch towers (nothing visible), and straight in front of you, about 20 foot away, is a large wooden double door. The noises are round the left side of the building. The bridge is about 40+ foot long.

OOC: Does Jovik make it across without incident? If so...
IC: The second Jovik is across and hunkered down Jokad bursts into action. He rapidly slings his bow and starts out onto the bridge. He moves as quickly as he dares, testing each step before fully commiting his weight.
OOC: Assuming he makes it across successfully...
IC: Once his feet hit the rock on the other side he immediately draws sword and shield and scans the imposing stockade for any signs of movement or trouble. The sounds of the goblins are evident now that he is on the other side and he hopes the little bastards are distracted enough to get everyone across before being discovered.
Sensing no immediated danger he tersely waves for Danth and Kael to move across.
To Jovik he whispers, "What do you think, through the gates or over the wall?"
