Leona poises, readying herself for any potential attack. Not seeing anything come running at the sounds of battle, she relaxes.. only slightly. Her head cocks to the side, confused. A handful of bandits, that's it? There has to be more.

Moravec kept his sling out, but some of the tension drained out of him after no one came at them. Stretching slightly, he took a position behind a crate stack that offered a good view of the doorway.

After a rather long wait, Eldrago approaches the party again.
"Well, that didn't seem to work. Maybe we should try a different approach?"
Eldrago fiddles around with the official documents lying everywhere. Absentmindedly stacking them neatly, before placing them all tidily in a small box.
"You guys checked out the contents of these crates yet? None labelled "Noble, keep upright, reward paid to finder? "

Leona snickered, then tsk'd Eldrago for joking about such a serious matter. She sent a bone chilling glare his way, but it didn't take much to see right through its facade. Pfft. He was funny, could she help that? A bit unappropriate; something needed to lighten the mood. Heaving a sigh the shifted moved from her position, weapon still out just in case - she too began to look at the odds and ends spewed about. "So.. now what? Shall we just pick a course and follow it, see what we may happen upon?" Referring to the tunnel that continues forth into the mountain.

Moravec grinned, absently trying to open the nearest crate. "Not that I've seen so far."
That's as good an idea as any, unless one of us finds a map to this place."

The documents inspected by the party bear the Griffon insignia of House Vadalis and appear to be mostly comprised of various animals (Horses, Beasts of Burden, parrots and other exotic pets) being transported or else ready for export at the villiage of Shavalant. On one document, marked "FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION", are marked "2 LARGE WOLVES - ELDEEN REACHES - handle with care."
OOC: Sorry for missing your earlier post, def. And I apologize for the late post everyone. I'll post a more extensive update tommorow of your assumed advance deeper into this awesome mine.

Once the party proceeds further down the mine, the torches along the hewn walls of the shaft become less frequent, the downward incline more steep. The air is thick with particles, overwhelming whatever memory of the smells of blood from the two earlier battles.
After a few minutes, the incline stops and the tunnel takes an abrupt vertical, downard plummet. Over the shaft, a wooden platform dangles precariously from four lengths of chain fixed at its points. The chain lengths combine into a single length about 7 feet above the platform and is looped around a rusted gear. A lever is attached to the side of the gear.

Massif takes a look at the contraption, especially where the rusted gear attaches to the stone. Hopefully the gear is still load-bearing. [Use Stonecunning racial ability] Assuming that things appear all right, he takes a step out and onto the platform, trying his best not to make it shake or wobble too much.
"Ladies and gentlemen... our carriage awaits. I think we can safely say that we won't be having the element of surprise as we decend... cause I doubt this is a very quiet elevator. We may want to get out our bows and such and be prepared for a firefight when we break through into whatever tunnel or chamber is town there."
If/when the group gets on and is ready to decend, Massif throws the lever and then arms himself with his bow and nocks an arrow.
