"Kenari,"she grunted out another introduction. More people. Time would tell if they were useful. The little gnome wanted something in exchange, but she decided to wait and watch him for now. Some things did not have a price, after all. The other half-orc had a good ear; that the cave was unstable was bad. They have to be careful and quick, lest they would be buried alive.
"Ser de Rolo sent us here to meet him."The half-orc stated to the point. "That problem you have with the cave and missing people."Pausing for a breath, she added. "We hope to speak too, to the guard Leore. Ser de Rolo mentioned he barely got out, but he is alive and is a witness." The Blood Hunter was not the friendliest of people, but she hope stating things plain and without insults got her results.

The guard backs away a bit. "Sir North sent you?" The younger guard asks.
The older guard narrows his eyes for a moment. "The kid is in the barracks that way." He points you down to the right. You can see a small building off to the side of the castle, with people scattered around outside it.
No sooner than the old guard points down the hill, Dark Sight scampers towards the barracks in search of Shawn Leore, completely forgetting that North DeRolo had told him to wait at the gate in his excitement to speak with and examine someone who had experienced these horrors first hand.

"Sir North did sent us,"she nodded. The young one did mindlessly repeat things. The older one did answer their question, but Kenari felt a frisson of doubt. "Our thanks," she slowly drawled, trying to see what got the guard on his ...guard. The gnome shot off in an instant towards the barracks. She sighed, rubbing her forehead. "I'm not made for herding gnomes."
OOC:On the older guard, and Kenari wants to know his motives, whether he is misdirecting them or not: Insight: 21

He isn't misdirecting, he just isn't sure of your motives. He's wary of the group. Two half-orcs, a deep gnome, a human and an elf travelling together is strange to him.
After a bit of searching and asking around, you're pointed to a skinny young man in leather armor, pale and wide-eyed.
Dark Sight cautiously approaches the young man in leather armor, believing him to be Shawn, but wanting to confirm this and introduce himself. "Hello there mister. They call me Dark Sight. I heard you've been inside that cave nearby, is that true, are you Shawn?" After introducing himself, he waits for Shawn to respond, watching for any odd reaction and or mannerism intently, looking for anything that might be "off" about him beyond his pale face. 18 (Perception)

He looks skittish and scared, somewhat scared of you. "Y-yeah... I'm Shawn." The young man says quietly.

Gus moves to follow his new gnome companion. With his long strides it takes only moments to reach the barracks and duck through the entryway. He positions himself back left (Dark Sight 7 o'clock) facing the door and does his best to appear intimidating. While only casually listening to their conversation, Gus scans the barracks and keeps a close eye on who is coming going.

without knowing about the investigations going on, but knowing about the cave from overhearing conversations, i go over to the cave and see what i can find without going in. perception check: 19
Noticing the younger guard seems a bit shaken over the situation, Calder assist him by picking up the dropped sword. He hands it back to him, "It'll be okay. I'm sure it's not much to worry about. That's why we're here." The cleric places a hand on his should and casts guidance, "Avandra will guide us," hoping to bolster the guard somewhat - at lease temporarily... He turns to the older gurard. "So are we to just wait here for de Rolo?"

With a nod to Calder and the rest of them left behind, Kenari follows behind the gnome and the half-orc. While the other keep watch, she came towards Dark Sight's side. The Blood Hunter assumed that it was the same guard that they had asked to see. "Sir North de Rolo sent us," she told the skittish young man. "We are investigating the cave for him." Shaking her head, she added,"We don't want to go in blind, but be prepared. Tell us, please, what you have seen inside."
If the young man spoke, she would watch him closely.

Before you can leave the town to go to the cave, you're stopped at the gate. "No-one goes to the cave without express, shown permission from Lady Vex'ahlia, Percival deRolo, or North deRolo." The guard tells you.

OOC: The spell is just a little rp flair.
"Thanks." He mutters as you give him the sword back. "I figure you should be waiting for Sir North."

Shawn rubs his forearm. "W-well, I think I saw these weird tentacles, and glowing crystals... I couldn't see well until I reached the cave with the gems... There was this tall, demonic figure..." He speaks quickly, his eyes flicking between Kenari and Dark Sight. "The section of the cave I was in started to collapse, and I ran... I have this..." He slowly, carefully produces a small, glowing blue uncut gem. His hand shakes as he shows Kenari and Dark Sight the crystal. "I-I don't know what it does."
Shawn seems genuine. Too scared to be lying, visibly traumatized.
Under his breath once more the gnome utters "I hope we're not too late" and picks up his pace.
OOC: Continuing on now.
You walk to a grand castle, before being stopped by two guards.
"What's your business 'ere?" One of them, an older man, asks.
"Kenari," she grunted out another introduction. More people. Time would tell if they were useful. The little gnome wanted something in exchange, but she decided to wait and watch him for now.

To the younger guard Calder tries to make a bit of small talk, "So, what do you think about all these people disappearing in the cave?"
