He hears noise and he can smell wood burning. It's impossible to see inside the cave without getting to the bottom of the ditch, though. From a vantage point about 10' away he gets a good look down into the cave, and notes 3 small muscular humanoids clad in familiar looking red caps, ironshod boots and leather kilts. Their mouths are fanged and savage looking. A voice from the far end of the cave indicates a 4th presence. Three are chatting in low voices over a firepit. There are a few empty grog bottles scattered around the cave. These seem a lot less formidable then the Redcap you fought in the potion shop. They seem younger and less bloody. OOC: Arvin moves silently, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=153749" target="_blank">for a total of 27</a>. Thats really good, right?Unfortunately, the redcaps made their listen check!! They rolled a <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=153754" target="_blank">28</a>!Arvin distinctly hears one say "did you hear something?" in Sylvan. Another answers "I'll just go have a look..." Another voice says something like "bah, it's just the wind..."Arvin hides, flattening himself against the wall.  Arvin gets a total of <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=153756" target="_blank">14 for his hide check. </a> The redcap R4 picks up his scythe, and then approaches the cave entrance and looks around. A moment later he <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=153761" target="_blank">spots Arvin!</a>. Their eyes meet. It isn't romantic. The redcap shouts in Sylvan. "**Intruders!**"Down below, you can clearly see the Redcap come to the edge of he cave entrance, and discover Arvin hiding there. He begins shouting away...readying his scythe for battle. OOC: Initiative is rolled. The redcaps are edgy and hostile and were supposed to be on guard, so there won't be much chance for negotiations. It will take one round of full move to negotiate down the ravine ditch for everyone but Arvin (who is already there). You can stay up on top and fire missile weapons, but the angle is such that you can only hit targets as far back in the cave as rows 10 ,11, 12, and 13. The other redcaps will take one round to grab their weapons. Only Arvin and the redcap R4 can act this round.
