Gorim Grimmson

"I will wait outside. Call me if your no weapon tactic doesn't work."
Gorim nods and stays outside the barn, but near to the entrance to quickly interfere with an escape attempt.

Hans lead the way, followed by Aaryn, Garold and Kildrak. Gorim waits outside, by the front of the barn.

Inside, the barn is quiet. A wagon with a broken wheel stands just behind the door to the left, and the rest of the barn is filled with rusting farming equipment and junk. Afternoon light filters through the high windows, and through a door up in the hayloft.

In short, the red-bearded man is not there. Up in the hayloft there is a doorway that opens out onto a winch mechanism, used for raising and lowering goods up to the loft, but evidently also used by the red-bearded man for escape. From this vantage point, you can see nothing suspicious.

Out front, Gorim scans the streets. There are a few humans, and dwarves, about, mostly heading to the taverns at the end of the day. No-one seems to be paying him any attention.
 

"Well," Hans says. "Our choice now is either to go inside and try to follow the red-bearded man in his obvious escape route or give up on this exercise and go back to the barge."

Hans looks inside the barn, specifically at the winch mechanism. "If it were me and I had the idea that someone might be following me, I'd set up a trap. I'm not sure following him is a good idea."
 

"Not to mention that he could make it appear as if he went and instead hid somewhere inside. Or is now waiting for us to follow with that crossbow of his. Let's head back."

OOC: Kildrak will be on Total Defense going out, prepared for a bolt from somewhere.
 


Hans can't see any evidence of tampering and traps from where he is, but he'd need a closer inspection to be sure.

Garold and Kildrak back out of the barn carefully, finding only Gorim waiting for them outside; no sudden crossbow bolts.
 

Gorim Grimmson

"Back so soon? Found anything?"
Gorim asks.

"No," Aaryn says. "I dislike being followed."

Aaryn carefully inspects the barn (Perception), despite his poor perceptive ability. He intends to root the red-bearded man out if he is hiding within. He also seems particularly determined not to give up chase of the man if he cannot be found. If his search of the barn turns up nothing, he advances up to the loft and moves out to where the man may be, moving quietly as he does so (Stealth).
Edit: The Perception should be an 11. My modifier is +2 not +1.
