Shade agreed that Stealth was preferable and joined Bruce in sneaking to the cave. Without the heavy traveling cloak,one may have thought Shade was going to war. Two daggers slipped from scabbards and three more waited in various locations. Bandoldiers of lighter throwing weapons were strapped to various body parts as well - thigh, torso, forearm - so that Shade could launch razor assaults like a manticore.

Taman joined his companions, moving as silently as he could.

But he tried to dodge the sudden move of Shade's cape, losing his feet. He tries to regain balanca moving his arms in circles but the moist rock he was stepping wsan't enough, he fall to the ground with a "TUD." The impact nearly gave him without breath and when the rest turned to him he can only smile as an apology.
Having spent most of the time after the conversation with the Barkeeper in silence, Tarlin follows his companions during the track from the town to the Lance Stone, not waving to the kids playing but he joined Taman in sharing one of his rations with the stray dog.
Arriving at the Lance Stone, Tarlin agrees that stealth is the only option. Drawing his shortbow and notching an arrow in it he moves slowly, with care practice. 24Stealth.
You enter the cave, theres a sign at the entrance that reads.
Come no closer lest you catch the disfiguring plague that afflicts me! -The Lord of Lance Rock-
The cave mouth opens into darkness from which a breezes blows, carrying the faint odor of death. Inside is a natural cave, its floor and ceiling uneven. The passage leads to the west, narrowing as it proceeds.Those who have dark vision can see in the ground, the corpse of two human males sprawled here on their back, wearing only leather breeches.
"It seems that there's a place of someone ill. Do we have any means to heal this disfiguiring plague? " ask the monk, not worried to have lost his dignity.
OOC: Just to confirm there was mention of a faint light from the cave before when we were on the road, and darkness now. Has the light gone out, or is it just not enough to see? If its not then I will strike up a torch and carry it.

You examine the arrow there's a piece of parchment attached to it. The arrow has a black tip, and is cold to the touch, as soon as you take it the skull turns into dust.
the parchment is tainted brown and has a leathery texture, but its not leather and in bright red letters it reads:

"Unfortunately, we don't have a cleric or healer with us, Taman. It seems there must be someone still alive inside, however, perhaps they would know of a medicine or a way to help them. Or perhaps these corpses may hold some clue." Bumble proceeds carefully over to examine the dead bodies.
Lighting one of his torches, tarlin bends over the corpse to examine how they met their demise. Without touching the bodies atarlin try to find any cuts or bruises indicating weapon delt wounds or if their deth was caused by undetectable means.
Decus's eyes adjust with Tarlin's torch, he sees the bodies and watches as Tarlin begins to examine them. "It might be wise for one of us to move further up into the cave and keep a scouting position." he whispers to the group.
Shade nods and moves to the mouth of the cave, "I agree, but I'm ill-equipped for dark caves. I'll keep watch to the outside in case of ambush."

Bumble is looking for any sign of disease, disfigurement, or injury. Anything that would indicate whether their cause of death was due to this "plague" or some other reason, and if there are any strange markings or disfigurements that would indicate what happened to them before they died.
Tarlin: without touching the corpse you can't see much, you only get that they are "fresh".
Bumble: Even with the dim light of the torch, you can see a rip in their leather bests, where the heart would be, no blood on the back but a pool of blood on the floor. You start looking at their face looking and searching for some kind of disease, or plague as warned in the sign.
CHOMP!
Suddenly the corpse open his eyes, and launches a bite at you, with your time training in the academy you are prepared to react in time and and jump backwards to see the two corpses slowly standing up and turning towards you, with their empty eyes fixed at your tasty flesh.

Bruce looks into the cave but can not see anything in the darkness beyond the light of the torch.
"I can't see down the cave." Bruce decides to stand guard over Bumble and Tarlin while they inspect the bodies.
