Misprize Thou Not These Shadows That Belong: Lost Mines of Phandelver

(Similar with insight will be 16 cause I have 0)

Krull has a thought looking at the frozen corpses there is a white Dragon about.

"Eh that's not good sign.A dragon killed them!White as cold death!The one I saw back at the manor!?"  he turns his gaze to the sky and says to the others"We need to move!" urging them to leave at once

Raskin says, “Looks like a white dragon saved us from some trouble, mates. The mine is only five miles from here.”

Calithor nods then examines the bodies more closely, gathering up any items of interest or value (weapons, coins, jewels).

"I wonder what they were doing here...and if there are more," he says. "And where they went," he adds ominously, looking ahead to the mine.

"Well yes, let's hope that dragon has moved on from here for the moment," Rabbit says. "I mean, a dragon isn't going to just hide behind a tree.  Right?" She doesn't sound completely sure.  "Let's get those last five miles taken care of."  She urges the group to move on. 

It doesn't take long to get to the mine, night has fallen. "Well make camp here. I don't fancy waking the mates up at the moment." Raskin pickets the horses and makes a fire.

(The scene is painted on roll 20) 

Calithor looks amazed, "We know there's a dragon in the area killing orcs, and you are afraid of waking up your friends?"

He looks around at his companions, "We should at least shelter in the cave entrance, do you not agree?"

"with the fact there's a dragon about, i think fearing to wake up the others is a problem. a problem is if they don't wake up." she scratches her head "well, i will take the first watch, then." she looks at calithor "i agree. the dragon must be too big to fit in the entrance. if things go too bad, we at least have an escape route."

"I was also thinking we should avoid sticking out like the proverbial..."

He turns to the others again. "Getting under cover so we...you know... don't look like an inviting meal to anything overhead?"

With that, he moves under cover anf half shrugs at his companions, then scans the sky.

Raskin "So what do you suggest, mates? We just can't abandon the beasts, supplies and cart to their own. Usually my dwarf friend Arfka my second, is on the lookout for me. He hasn't came out to see if I'm back. Anyways, I told him to keep the place locked at night. Maybe one of you should scout the entrance. "

If you look at the R20 map you'll note the passageway, entrance to the mine, is only 5ft wide. A horse would have problems fitting or at least turning around.

"So, what do they normally do with the horses?" Rabbit asks, mostly out of curiosity.  "I can sneak in there and scout out the entrance. Anyone with me?"  

He pets his donkey a much smaller animal "I usually only bring my donkey. We could dig a fire pit." 

Calithor nods to Rabbit, "I'm with you."

Turning at Raskins suggestion, Calithor sighs. "And announce our presence for miles around to anything that flies."

Krull shrugs "The man is a fool!A fool that pays though..Eh..I ll stay with him and if the dragon appears we run and feed the donkey to it" Turning to him says "Look no fire tonight..You are paying us to help and this is what we do"

Calithor moves a few feet into the entrance, "Looks like it widends out. Should take the horses, but not the cart. We should rest unload and rest here, in front of...the doors?" He says the last slowly, peering into the gloom, not sure exactly what he is looking at, but unwilling to move further forward.

I've set it where you can move the horses, cart the way you want so..

Raskin looks at the group "Well, show me the way you want to spend the night."

Calithor looks between the tunnel and the group, "Perhaps make camp inside with a small fire and picket the horses at the entrance?"

"well, the smoke could suffocate us. . . but there's no other choice, i guess? if we want to put a fire inside the cave we need to make sure the smoke won't accumulate inside."

"Aye," says Calithor. ""The smoke should leave the tunnel, it's not blocked. Hot air rises, after all."
