(Thrak, you already made it across the courtyard. I rolled your check in an earlier post. Darren, I need an acrobatics check from you as you cross the courtyard please.)
Darren inspects the Goblin and sees that it died from being trapped in the pit with the rat, a combination of falling and being bitten. He does not find any loot on the Goblin, the only things he can see are the Scimitar and the Shield. Xavnan walks over to join the party, almost falling as some of the courtyard crumbles under his feet. He holds up the Scimitar and Shield to see if any one in the party can use them.

Darren also just barely makes it across, watching as some of the marble slabs crumble and fall beneath his feet. However, whether by sheer luck, or just a little bit of skill, he avoids falling into the debris lined trenches that open as the slabs crumble down.

Cade hesitates, but after looking to see if any other might accept the gear, he holds outs hands for them. "Been while since I used one these things. Got kind of used to not finding one that'd fit right. At least not without being, well, that." He gestures over to whatever Ekk had for a shield. It was a jest. Mostly. One he promptly raised his hands up in surrender if Ekk looked upset over it.
"So that's the way then. That ledge? Mind if I step in first this time?" Cinching the last strap in place, the goblin sets to work crossing along the ledge and into the building proper for a looking around the first level.

Darren takes a look at the ledge and the distance to the other side (about how far is that? Also if he wanted to make a harness with rop and his backpack, what should i roll for that?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ekk looks at his makeshift shield. The cast iron pot lid he had acquired in one of the taverns nearby the library. “No thanks, I’ve got mine! You can still cook on it too when you turn it upside down.... comes in handy, I don’t think you can cook on that one.” Anyone taking a closer look can now see an old thin layer of grease and old food stuff on the inside of Ekk’s Shield.
Acrobatics to get across - 12 (one would ask if really needed seeing he is barely 25 pounds)
(The ledge goes around the western side to the door, the pit itself is 10 feet wide. To make a harness with your rope and backpack would require a Survival check. Ekk does not need to jump over the pit as he can walk around the ledge to get to the door, unless he really wants to.)
Cade is the first to breach the door, followed closely by Rivon, who is moving as quiet as a shadow.
When you enter the room you see that this circular area is cobbled with cracked granite, upon which sprawl the bodies of four goblins, apparently slain in combat. One corpse stands with its back against the western wall, the spear that killed it still skewering it and holding it upright. Three wooden doors lead from this area. A hollow tower of loose masonry reaches thirty feet into the air, but the intervening floors and stairs are gone, except for a couple of crumbled ledges.

The hobgoblin would follow behind. Once inside, Thrak would look snap his fingers, summoning his shadowy raven familiar with a small puff of smoke and feathers. With a quick nod, He would send the raven up into the air to help him look for threats and to investigate the top of the tower , while the hobgoblin looked around and examined the goblin corpses. After looking over the bodies, he would look to the others. "If you give me a few minutes, I can cast a spell to detect magic and check to see if there is anything magical in the room...." Thrak would say with a nod.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(OOC - @Bierp: It's typically investigation when you're looking for something specific over a limited space, vs noticing something is there in general(namely in regards to something actively hiding)).
Whether aware or not of Rivon's own activities, Cade had taken to looking over the bodies as well, though with intent to confirm method of death; such as by perhaps adventure hand, or something far worse. "By all means, Sir Thrak. We can't be too carefully. And Darren? While we waiting for him do his whole magiking thing... were saying something about something not helping save someone?"He asks uncertainly. "Aside from maybe Ekk here, if you're trying to make something on the fly, I... could give it a try. With some help of course."
"I will start casting the spell right away" Thrak would say with a nod to Cade. After searching the bodies and the raven finishes flying about, Thrak will sit down and begin casting detect magic while the others investigate the space and decide the next move. The hobgoblin would take the tip of his staff and mutter in goblin as he traces runes across the floor while completing the ritual.
(When serching for things on bodies or for traps, etc., it's Investigation.)
Thrak, Cade and Rivon search the bodies, and Thrak's raven searches the top of the tower, or at least what's left of it. The four Goblin bodies have been dead for quite a while, and rats have gnawed at them. The bodies have already been looted, and you find nothing of interest on their bodies. Cade determines that the Goblins were in a fight and killed.The raven only sees the crumbling walls of the remaining parts of the tower, and barely passable ledges that were left from the crumbling floors.
Thrak casts Detect Magic, nothing in the room is showing as magical in the area of the spell.

Darren trys to craft a harness for a bit of safety, survival 14

Darren makes his way across the ledge, nice and slow

Rivon nods to Thrak, then realizes that the hobgoblin can't see him at all.
