[Adventure] The Cannith Caper (Judge: THB)

Standing at the edge of the ledge and looking down, the only slightly athletic swordmage taps into his inner energy, a mental click resounding within his body. The very air around the gith seems to flow like water, and as he takes a step off of the ledge, what should have been a devastating thirty foot drop becomes the gentle descent of a slow-falling feather. When the swordmage gets within five feet of the ground, his mental energy has been depleted and he lands on his feet with only a slight thud. It's as if he had merely jumped off of a short wall or a tall packing crate. Grinning up at the others, he gives them a friendly wave to let them know that he is okay, then he moves forward towards the body.
[sblock=Actions] Vistrathis uses his Telekinetic Leap power, which lets him fly for 5 squares. He uses this to safely descend the rather deadly drop. The power runs out of movement when Vistrathis is 5 feet above ground. Because he has not landed, he falls the 5 feet, but this is not enough to cause injury. [/sblock]

Spotting the body of a goblin behind the waterfall, Vistrathis gently pulled it into the open before inspecting it. Noticing the many abrasions, bruises, and tears in the goblin's flesh, it was evident that the creature had died a violent death about a week ago. Looking around, in, and above the back side of the waterfall, Vistrathis attempted to find out how the body got where it was.
[sblock=Actions] Heal check. of 20 to determine how the goblin died.
Perception check of 16 to try to find out where the body came from. [/sblock]

Varak, pulls out both blades, and moves toward the waterfall. Seeing the swordmage had things handled, the half-orc lets him do the investigating. Varak moves to the only other way out and steps into the shadows near the exit, waiting to see if anyone investigates the rockfall.
[sblock=Actions]nature/perception (1d20+3=20, 1d20+8=18) I'll then move to hide near the other exit in any shadows I can find. stealth (1d20+8=22)[/sblock]

You would surmise that the body was thrown here from the cavern above. You notice that the hobgoblin has a brand on his right shoulder, a white lion.
[sblock=History DC 15]
This is the symbol of the White Company, a ruthless mercenary group that operates in Darguun[/sblock][/sblock]

Harressh aids in the effort to pull Alex out of the rock slide, but when it becomes clear the attempt is futile, he shrugs fatalistically. "Let's press on."

Looking down into the crevasse, Harressh calls, "Vistrathis, any other exits down there? And how were you planning to get back up? Should we lower a rope down to you?"

"No signs of Alex, just this dead hobgoblin. Seems he was stabbed, then thrown down here from the cavern above here. He's got a white lion tatoo, which means that this unfortunate dead guy here was once part of the White Company. A ruthless band of mercenaries that operates out of Darguun. What in the world was he doing all the way out here in the mountains? Perhaps those other hobs that we fought earlier were also part of White Company. If so, that leaves us with the question of who hired them and why they are here. A rope would be great if you wanted to lower it for me."
[sblock=OOC] Vistrathis has a history skill of +14, so he can't fail the DC 15 check. Do you want him to roll a history check to see if he gets any additional information? [/sblock]

Varak stays silent in the shadows near the exit of their current location. He listens downt he hallway for anybody approaching while he absorbs the information provided by his companions.
