Nyka steps out of the shadows. He lowers his bow, but doesn't remove the arrow, still being weary of the new comer. So many new people, but Dagoro didn't vouch for this one.
He will send a message to the rest of the group {Don't let him know we can communicate without speaking. Just in case.}
He will address the new person. "Hello Strider. We are busy. Come with if you want, but don't slow us down. And don't trip the wire back there. We don't want the Yiga to know we are coming. Shall we continue?"
"Hey this reminds me, wasn't cloud headed to Death Mountain? We should have asked Dagoro about him. Maybe Cloud and Strider here are somehow connected." Paca then turns to Strider, "Does the name Cloud mean anything to you Strider? Oh and umm, I'm Paca by the way, and this is my fairy companion Lizi. Nice to meet you!"
"Cloud? Cloud Strife?" Strider turns to you Paca, his interest peaked as it seems you have mentioned a individual he is familiar with.
"Aye, I know the lad. Met him on occasion when he passed through Kakariko."His face then turns somber as he reflects on the information provided to him.
"I placed the trap because I woke up in a strange place, with no idea where I am or if I am safe. It was meant to be a deterrent from anything who might think to make a snack of my bones. If this truly is a mine, I think I would rather find my way out and head back to the village. Ye seem like a capable lot, Doubtful you'd need another sword along with you." The griseled individual sheaths his long sword but keeps his dagger in hand.
"Dont know much about that type of magic.....Im sorry......What are you exactly?"Strider gives you an investigating and curious look Quiggley, It's likely he hasnt seen a fairy before.
"Kakariko is about two weeks journey from Hyrule city, Southward across the fields."

"I'm Quiggley and I'm a fairy! I can't tell you much about myself as I don't remember, so if you know me please let me know. I do remember once hearing a tale of a Hero who played an instrument and was suddenly transported many leagues across the land. There's been a recent amount of people taking magics they shouldn't and using them. It's possible you being here is an unfortunate side effect. Anyway exits straight that ways just stay left.", Quiggley will explain and gesture.
"Hey you know Cloud, that's great! We had journeyed with him for a bit before splitting up, said he was headed this way. Kind of a lone wolf type if you ask me but seemed to be quite the fighter. Well if you end up running by him again, tell him Deku-list kids in Hyrule....or was it the Red Lions? Nevermind... tell him we say hi."
Praxius has kept wandering back down the tunnel, heading for the junction. He has no interest in whether Strider is coming or not, or if he knows Cloud, he just wants to catch up with the Yiga.
If he makes it to the other path, he will look and listen while he waits impatiently for the others.
Kadevii nods. “I’ve never heard of them - are they another friend of you guys?” He asks the group. He gives Strider a friendly smile. “Safe travels then, friend! I’m Kadevii, it was nice to meet you.”
"Oh. Yes. Nice kid. Had a dog. Helped us defeat an evil fairy and Nick or Krampus or Nick Krampus? Sort of a demon man who used fire. Another example of people not from around here suddenly being here. But they were evil and Cloud was nice. And he could cook. Cloud that is. Not the evil fairy or Nick.", Quiggley will answer Kadevii to straighten him out but prolly ends up making it even more confusing.
"I will tell him, Whenever our paths cross again."Strider answers Paca while examining Quiggley, still a bit in awe that such a tiny creature exists. "Seem's there is alot more to this world I still do not know, If what you say is true and my being here is a side effect of some sort of magic. I would seek answers, If by chance you ever find yourselves in Kakariko. Ask for me at the Prancing Pony, It's a tavern. If I find any information in my search I will tell you of it."
He sheaths the dagger, feeling more at ease now that he has a general read on all of you. "It is nice to meet you as well Kadevii, Unfortunate that we didnt meet under better circumstances. I apologize for drawing my weapons on you."
Praxius,
Moving down the corridor and pass where the Crossbow trap had been set, you suddenly get a strange sense. A familiar sense. You have spent many years in isolation, you can tell when a set of eyes are on you. Looking over your shoulder, you see your companions still conversing with Strider.
Looking ahead, You get the faintest hint of movement in the dark tunnel ahead of you as a figure dashes down the tunnel that would take you deeper into the mine.

{I see someone, I'm going after them}, Praxius telepathically sends to Nyka.
With that, he starts to run down the tunnel, trying to catch up with the figure, relying on his Greatsword of Warning to alert him of danger, whilst he keeps an eye out for further traps.
Nyka, turns and starts to follow Praxius when he gets the message.
He will say out to the group "Praxius saw someone, they are in pursuit! Let's move!"
Nyka will rush to catch up to Praxius. He pulls up his hood as he moves, and tries to see if there is anyone else about, or if he can catch a glimpse of the person.
Perception 6+8=14 (Passive 18) If it fails, Psi-Bolstered Knack for +6.
("Stop! Tell Praxius to stop! Wait for us! It's a trap to lure 1 or 2 and string us out!"), Quiggley will send Nyka, before following by flying at normal speed.
“Well, looks like my friends and I have to go,” Theo says to Strider. “I hope we can meet up again soon with Cloud!” With that, Theo turns and follows the group leaving. He carefully looks around and tries to see what everyone is clamoring about.
Paca hangs back for just a moment to ask Strider "Were you with anyone else right before you ended up here? Perhaps if you were that person is here as well and we are about to pursue a friend of yours?" Paca inquires and waits for a quick response before running after the rest of the group.
Praxius hears Nyka in his mind, but doesn’t really register what he is saying. He is now totally focussed on catching up to the figure.
As he reaches the area he saw the figure he slows briefly as his eyes again begin to itch, and any magical spells or items within 60 feet of him are exposed.
Action: Magical Awareness
As an action, you can open your awareness to the presence of concentrated magic. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any spell or magic item within 60 feet of you that isn’t behind total cover. When you sense a spell, you learn which school of magic it belongs to.
Strider watches as your companions all bolt off down the tunnel, Clearly alerted as he is not privvy to the Psychic information passed on by Praxius. "No, It was just me......There's someone else down here?"
Meanwhile,
Praxius, You bolt in the direction of the figure while letting your blade warn you of any impending danger. Your heavy footfalls stomp against the ground as with each step you can feel yourself gaining on whoever it is that you had seen, Just as you reach the incline which leads lower into the mine. You feel that same familiar burn etch itself into the whites of your eyes, Peering down you see a clear figure.
This individual is covered in a VERY magical cloak and is staring up at you from the incline with their hand outstretched.
A wave of vibrating, arcane blue energy jettisons out from their out stretched palm and slams into you.
Make a Wisdom Saving Throw.
Everyone else is about forty feet away from Praxius at this point, who is just staring down the incline.

Pacawill say to Strider as he darts on towards the others, yelling back to him as he takes off down the tunnel, "Yes, other evils are down here. Join us if you wish. Something terrible is happening. We could use the extra sword... or swords that is."
Nyka moves quickly to catch up to Praxius. As he gets to close to the decline, he will slow and try to blend with the shadows and peaks down the incline.
Nyka steps out of the shadows. He lowers his bow, but doesn't remove the arrow, still being weary of the new comer. So many new people, but Dagoro didn't vouch for this one.

Nyka slows and sends a message to Praxius {Slow down, they could be setting a trap for us. Wait for the rest of us!}
Nyka will try to catch up with Praxius, at the least. Better to stay in pairs, at the very least.
