Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

((OOC: Sorry I missed the opening at introductions. Since we're past the interview phase, I'm going to assume they know our names by now. :) ))

"It's as Celythia says. Given that they seemed willing to root around in the goodwife's cellar without ever having accosted her, we didn't consider that others wouldn't be afforded the same, I'm afraid, and we didn't want to be popping our head into some innocent citizen's home looking like burglars ourselves.

"Now, if we do question the hobgoblins, I do have a little trick that might make them more willing to share what they know. We just have to be sure not to threaten them physically, or the minor arcanum involved won't hold."
 

"All right, we'll do it your way" the watch man tells Barek. "You question them, I'll listen. I guess the hobgoblins or kobolds must have come up here. The blood looks fresh to me, probably spilt this morning. Seemed a bit of a coincidence that they did it just before you got here. But coincidences happen."

One of the other watch men takes a close look at the bloodstains. "Look at this" he says. "Not all of this is blood. I see drops of some kind of brown liquid. Any ideas?"
 

[sblock=OOC]
Apologies for the silence. Trying to get the most out of my WoW gamecard before it expires so I don't waste the money(since I don't know when I'll get another), in addition to the other reasons I've mentioned elsewhere.[/sblock]

Kynar remained quiet, simply unbinding his elven curve blade and leading the way into the cellar as much as possible, looking about for any signs of hobgoblins or illegal activity.
 

As Kynar moves off, Caridoc prepares to take up his usual position as rear guard. In deference to the watchmen who are with them he says "I usually act as rear guard. Are you alright with this or does one of you want to take the rear?"

Depending on the response, Caridoc will take up the appropriate place while at the same time unbinding his weapon. At the same time he gives the watchmen a querying look.
 

Celythia leans closer to take a look at the brownish fluid indicated by the watchman. "Hmm..."

"Keep your weapons bound" the watchman says. "You can take rear watch, if you still want to with that restriction."

[sblock=Rhun]Celythia can't tell what the liquid is, but she notices something about the bloodstains nearby. There is a small section where the stain seems to have been rubbed away. Something may have been written there. It is hard to tell but the letters could be BAD. . . , BAO. , ., RAD. . ., RAO. . . ? The message is obviously incomplete.[/sblock]
 

At the watchman's words, Caridoc mutters quietly to himself "******* lawfuls!", draws his dagger and takes his position at the rear.

"There was something written here," says Celythia, indicating a spot where the blood has been rubbed away. "I can't make it out...BAD? BAO? RAD? RAO? Does any of that make any sense to anyone?"
