[LPF] Kaedyn's Quest

[jackslate45]

When the gnome said that he was tortured, Umthirn gives a nastly scowl, and gives the gnome a quick once over once he was out of the cell.

Once the gnome was free, Umthirn shook his hand with a small smile and says
"Your safe, and thats what's important. Now, what else can ya tell us about the gnoll's leader? We just wanna make sure we dealt with him already. Was he a biggen, with a giant axe? Or did he have a giant sword, and a metal plate covern' his chest?"

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

Ru nods his head at the the thanks.

"Always happy to help a merchant," he says with a charming grin as the gnome shakes his hand. "They're always good for returning the favor, I find."

As Umthirn checks over the gnome, Ru rolls his tools back into their sleeve and picks them up, gesturing toward the corner of the building. "While you help out our new little friend, there's a nice, shiny chest waiting for me to find out what's so important it needs a crashy bang lock on it."

The southerner gives another courteous nod to the gnome then heads back to the room he opened before. Deciding anything worth trapping the door for might be worth trapping the chest, as well, he takes his time studying the box.

[Systole]

Seeing the gnome safely out of his cell and Ru working on something delicate, Rhas positions himself in the center of the camp and watches for an ambush from one of the unsecured buildings or from the sky, possibly both.

~ Day 15, 13:49 - Miles North of Thornbury ~

Taking extensive time, Ru did not find any traps on the strongbox. In fact it was not even locked.

Hrandeth let Umthrin check him over a little bit. The gnome was likely malnourished and dirty. He had some bruising that looked ugly, but was not recent and was slowly mending. The dwarf did not see any abnormal growths on the back of his neck either.

The gnome spice merchant replied, “The leader did have a large sword on his back. You mind if I look at the bodies?”

Without waiting for permission, Hrandeth exited the cell and squinted at the brighter illumination as he started taking in the carnage from the battle. Moving to the gate and seeing the dead gnolls, he pointed to the gnoll commander that was the last to fall, “That would be him, I think.”

Ru frowns, standing and putting his tools away.

"They locked and trapped the door, but the box doesn't even have a lock," he says, drawing one of his blades. "Fellas? I think we might want to all be here when I open this, in case nasty squigglies come out. Actually, Princess? I don't suppose you know the trick where you can lift the lid on this thing from across the room, do you? That might be the option we want to try first."

[sblock=ooc]If Damaris is willing/able to use Mage Hand to open the lid, Ru will draw his second sword, as well, and be ready.[/sblock]

Umthirn scrowled at the body of the gnoll commander that Hrandeth pointed out. "Aye, that bugger was the last one to fall. Took a nasty cut from that guy as well. Well, this should put your spice market safe again. You want us to escort you once we are done searching..."

Before Umthirn finished his sentence, Ru's voice catches his ear. Taking a defensive position to protect Hrandeth, Umthirn's muscles tense up reflexively.

[sblock=OOC]
Was going to re-search the dead gnoll's body for the key, but if that chest contains something nasty, I'll wait on it.

"Sure can do" Damaris will use mage hand on the chest from as far as she can manage to make sure nothing jumps at her.

[sblock]From R22, Damaris uses mage hand on the chest when everyone is ready. She will immediately step back if anything comes out of the chest.[/sblock]

~ Day 15, 13:50 - Miles North of Thornbury ~

Hrandeth nodded gratefully, “Certainly, yes! If you could escort me to at least Thornbury I would appreciate it. If you can get me all the way to Venza, I can even reward you once I get in touch with my Factor, particularly if we can find my spice shipment.” He followed along with Umthirn to see what the fuss was about with the others.

Taking extra precautions proved unnecessary once Damaris opened the lid of the strongbox. Nothing came flying out nor were there any critters inside.

The strongbox was filled with silver and gold coins, enough to take some time to count.

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

Ru relaxes visibly as the lack of attack, then perks up just as quickly as light glints off the coins.

"Now this is what I want to find when I open a chest," he says with a wide grin. "I say we clear the rest of this camp quick as we can, and make a hasty exit. If gold is what the gnoll's master was after, I have to imagine someone's going to be by to collect this before too long. It's best if we're nowhere to be found by then."

Satisfied that the gold isn't going to walk off on its own, Ru gives Damaris a grateful pat on the shoulder for using her skills despite the lack of danger, then gestures that he's moving on to the next building if anyone wants to join him.

Damaris chuckles. "You know... this reminds me when a larger than normal spider made its way into our living room. I swear it was almost the size of a cat. Dad and Gallandra where not at home so, we... my mother, my other 7 screaming sisters and I, had to deal with it. I believe our screams where heard on the other side of the river when the thing started darting through the floor. Heh! The spider went to hide under some old books and when I used this same spell to flip them over, the damn thing was gone. Mom wouldn't accept sleeping in the house for a week until Dad and Gallandra made sure it wasn't around..."

"Good times, good times" she smiles looking at the treasure chest. Damaris will follow Ru to the other building to check it out.

"I'll go with you Ru"
