Heroics around Hommlet [IC]

"If there are others waiting in the woods to 'pop' out, as you say, I am not aware of it. And I am definitely not associated with your new friends. I am from around here. My parents have both passed away some time ago and now that I'm a bit older and able to care for myself, I've decided to see more of the world." He smiles charmingly. [Bluff +0, if necessary]

Raven

"Greetings, Toriah," says Raven in elvish, then again in common, "Greetings, Toriah." She winks at Damien. "Yes, tell us about yourself. Where are you from? We are going to a mine to check it out, and collect some goblin ears if they present themselves. One more elf is always welcome, I reckon."
 

Toriah is surprised at hearing the Elven, but covers by smiling at Raven. "Long time since I heard the tongue," he replies in Elven, then continues in Common. "I'm from Verbobonc, myself. Born and raised. I'm skilled at, ahem, getting into and out of delicate situations. I assume that would be useful in a dangerous mine, hm?" He turns back toward Damien slightly to assess his reaction.
 

Damien arches an eyebrow at Toriah's response, and a slight smile crosses his lips. "Yes, I see..." After a moment of quiet contemplating he strides foward and extends a hand towards Toriah. "I believe we could make use of someone that possesses such skill. You may accompany us. Just.. do remember my generosity in allowing you into our company." As he says this Damien tightens his purse strings in plain view of the newest member of their group, believing this will subtlely get his point across.
 

Toriah frowns slightly and speaks softly. "Good sir, I wouldn't deign to take from those in my party. Only those who deserve it." He takes Damien's hand and shakes it firmly. More loudly, he says, "Good to be aboard. Shall we off?"
 


Astatis finishes her trance and whilst on final watch takes time out to prepare her spells and ready herself and Sashla for the day.

"Greetings, all," he says, sweeping a low bow. "I am called Toriah." He keeps his eyes on Damien, having marked him as the leader of the group.

<And may the all Mother help us>

Astatia takes time out from adjusting Sashla's tack to wonder who was keeping an eye out - then realized that no one had been detailed.

"I believe we could make use of someone that possesses such skill. You may accompany us. Just.. do remember my generosity in allowing you into our company." As he says this Damien tightens his purse strings in plain view of the newest member of their group, believing this will subtlely get his point across.

<Who died and left him king? No wait, don't even ask that>

"Greetings and well met. I am called Astatia, this," she strokes Sashla's muzzle, "is Sashla. But as you already seem to know who we are and what we are doing I'm sure you already know that."
 

Toriah flashes a smile. "No, my lady, and it is a great honor to meet you and Sashla." He sketches a bow before glancing around the camp in preparation to leave.
 

As the group breaks up camp and emerges from the bushes, the clouds disperse and reveal the shining sun. You move down the road the woman directed for a few hours without interruptions, only hearing various animals in the woodlands around you and birds flying and chilping through the air. You about an hour to dusk, you notice the terrain rising slightly, and after you pass the next bend, you can see the mine in the distance.

A small canyon starting at ground level moves down into the ground where it ends in a hole. Just behind the entrance stands a large building, looking somewhat like a warehouse. The double door is open, but windows are scarce, making it too dark inside to see clearly from this distance. A track of rails leads from down the canyon into the warehouse. A smaller cabin is next to the road, in front of the mine. It looks like a small house, but the door and windows are shut.

No sound or activity can be detected around the mines. You are about 1500 feet away. (OOC: Can I have a marching order, just in case?)
