Star Metal Marauders- Highway Harvest

Frangipani scampered over and examined the rocks and tracks.

Survival: 11

Frangipani cant determine exactly the type.of tracks as there are so many different ones. But she does see hole in the embankment behind the boulders, it seems only about 2' but upon closer look it seems to get larger after about 12"s inside. Too dark inside to see how far or how large the space is. The dirt around the entry seems to be softish

Frangipani grins with excitement and is about to start squeezing through when she remembers Sorshas words and pauses.

" Uh...permission to investigate, Captain?"

Sparhawk looks for Sorsha, then realizes Frangapani is talking to him. He smiles at her. "Permission granted. can you fit in there or would your cat form serve you well? Don't go in too far, I'm worried about traps and creatures."

Frangipani attempts to wiggle through in her genasi form

Bjorn, cursing and wrestling with Ironass to get through the foliage, takes up the rear. "Better not be any more bugbears in this cave. Though, looking at it now, I'd be surprised if they could get in. Baby bugbears, maybe. Or eggs."

"Or a large rodent or reptile. Watch for dropping and tracks Frangipani. Let us know what you see and smell." As usual, Sparhawk is on alert and is concerned for his friends safety. He evaluates if he is strong enough to move some of the rocks and make the hole bigger if needed.
(Strength 18) He also evaluates if moving a rock would cause any problems or rock slides (Investigation: 14)

 You could roll strength check to move the Boulder. Your investigation tells you it should move whiteout causing any other rocks to slide and seems like maybe it has been moved before a long time in the past

Sparhawk will wait a moment to see what Frangipani sees and hears. He will be ready to move the Boulder if needed for a quick entry or exit.  

Eberk takes his place at the boulder to help move it.

Vars inspects the bone quietly, then throws it into the bushes without saying anything. When they reach the shore, he scans the area to see what kinds of tracks are around the bolder. 

Survival: 7

Investigation(if applicable): 24

Vars nods in approval as Frangipani slips into the cave. He stands back, figuring he'd let his stronger companions deal with the bolder if necessary. Meanwhile, he stands ready with one short sword drawn in case something chases her out. 

Sparhawk wonders if goblin lairs look like this, or if it’s more just a hidden cave or animal lair

After a bit of struggle, Frangipani squirms her way through the opening and finds herself in a skillfully constructed tunnel. The floor is made from the same cobblestone brick that was at the beginning of the trail, but in much better preserved condition. The tunnel is a full 5’ wide is 7-8’ in height and seems to go back at least 50’. It is to dark in here to see details, even with night vision.

"Frangipani? What do you see?" Sparhawk asks, still ready to move a rock to make the opening larger.

( Sorry, Work was a little busier than expected)

Frangipani looked around in the dark but decided not to try and forge on by herself, she wriggled back out.

" Dark, big tunnel, paved.  Need light."

Sparhawk motions to Eberk, "Lets open this up a bit, my stout friend."

(Sparhawk and Eberk will move a few rocks to make the opening a bit easier to get into and out of.)
(Strength w/ advantage since help?) 22

"Eberk, this is harder than it looks, lets give it another try" (GEEZ)

"Maybe there's another entrance? Or maybe we should come back here with some pickaxes, and some miners to swing 'em."

"You're a funny guy.." Sparhawk catches Bjorn's sarcasm as he's sure Bjorn was unimpressed by Sparhawks lack of strength. "I'm hoping there is another entrance, or at least exit. I'm not a big fan of caves with only one way in and out." Sparhawk smiles, "Hey Bjorn, as I recall, you are pretty good with a pickaxe/ crowbar.  Wanna give it a crack?" He winks at Vars, remembering the seagull incident at the wizards tower.
