Marked off 1 Adventuring Gear.  I'm not going to explore far, so I won't need the light for very long.  This should do the job.  I'll pull out my elven short sword in the other hand in case things turn violent.  As I step down into the tunnel, I'll very carefully descend, paying close attention to the nature of the tunnel and what is revealed by my light-source.[sblock]Discern Realities (Wis)6, 6 + 2 = 14.  3 questions and + 1 forward with each.* What should I be on the lookout for?* What here is useful or valuable to me?* What here is not what it appears to be?[/sblock]I move toward it slowly with my tendertwig out before me.  When I near, I pull my elven blade back beside my ear and thrust forward into the heart of the thing.[sblock]d8 damage.  Rolled 8.  0 armor.[/sblock]I'm going to probe the creature a little bit.  Are there any identifying markers or clothing from which I can confirm that this was one of the town-folk.Alright.  I'm going to run straight back to camp after I scoop up the 1 Adventuring Gear left by the poor traveler.  I'll tell Otthor what I found upon my return.</blockquote>
