Theo shakes his head to clear the cobwebs. He checks to see if any of his limbs are broken, the dull pain tells him he is only bruised. He looks around to see how his companions fared. He hoped no one was hurt. He moves as quietly as he can, no telling if there is anyone else down here.
Zakon wakes with a groan, his head pounding as though tiny dwarves were mining inside it. As he lays there, taking stock of any possible injuries, he opens his eyes slowly, looking at the area around him. He sees Theo moving and asks as quietly as he can, "Are you hurt, Theo?" Zakon also looks around to see if Saryn or Wasayraare injured.
Coming to Saryn rolls over and looks for her ax. Once its in hand looks around quietly to take stock of their situation and see if there are any immediate threats.
I give a poorly stifled laugh then say with a coyly "You could say its the pits." Then start laughing gleefully. After a few to many moment the laughter dies down. "Should we try to climb out or see where that leads?" Pointing toward the door.
After ensuring everyone is relatively unharmed, a few brave souls begin observing your new, unusual surroundings. It is Wysayra who hears it first, a voice seeming to come from the other side of the upturned wagon. "Help me! Help me!" a raspy, low-pitched voice calls out. "I have been trapped here for days. My leg is pinned under my wagon. Please, hurry before they come to collect me like the others."

With a mighty heave, Saryn and Theo lift the wagon up just enough for the man underneath to scoot out into the open. He is a thin, bedraggled-looking man, though that is probably not how he started before ending up down here. He sits up, his leg still sore from being pinned under the wagon. "Thank you!" he says with a sigh of relief. "I don't know what would have happened had you not come along. I suppose I could have hoped they would never find me, but thank the gods you're here." He looks up at the great hole in the ceiling of the cavern. "Though, I suppose trapped is still trapped," he adds.

Zakon is looking the man over carefully, but is then distracted by Saryn trying to open the door. "No, Saryn - wait," he says in warning. He rushes over as she reaches for the door, attempting to keep her from opening it. "Maybe I can look it over first - we may not be the only trapped thing down here, aye?"he asks.

Zakon manages to stop Saryn before she opens the door. "I'm not saying we can't open it, mind ye," he says, gently removing Saryn's hand from the door. "Just that maybe I can check to make sure it isn't trapped before we do?"
The man's eyes widen as Saryn begins to reach for the door. He's about to protest, but Zakon gets there before her and stops her from attempting to open the door. Just as her hands had touched the knob, Saryn realizes it would have been a wasted effort. The door was already locked. The man is thankful and finally acknowledges Theo's questions.
"I am Olly, Olly Coppersmith,"he answers. "Just like you, we fell through that hole. I assume it must be some sort of trap just for catching travelers unaware. We were on our way to Horvert [a town a tad north of Golorere]. We were supposed to reach the market there about a day ago. We fell through here and have been trapped for the past two days. There were too few of my associates to help get the wagon off of me." His face becomes downcast. "Since then, these hooded figures have been coming through that door and taking my friends. So far, they had spared me. They said something about me being 'damaged goods.' Not sure what that means, but I wasn't intent on finding out."

Theo sees that Zakon seems to be in one piece. Which is more than can be said for the wagon.
"I guess this wasn't the best path to take."
Saryn

Zakon hurries over to the wagon as Saryn and Theo begin to lift, aiming to either pull out the injured party or to warn the others if this is a trap.

"We won't stay trapped for long." Saryn walks towards the door and tries to open it.
Theo watches Saryn try to open the door.
"Tell me traveller, what is your name and how did you get down here? Who has been taking people away?"
Zakon is looking the man over carefully, but is then distracted by Saryn trying to open the door. "No, Saryn - wait," he says in warning.

”Well yur safe now Olly. We’ll take care of these hooded cowards and all be on our way. D’ya see any traps Zakon?”
I heft my axe waiting for a chance to “pick” the lock.
