"Frost Demon" Seraph answers dryly. Then to Maitake he says, "Care to go ahead and explain yourself to them and also figure out why they're hiding in a cave?"
After Maitake explains the story to the villagers a hunched over elderly woman with a bonnet and a cane who appears to be the group’s leader says “recently the soil went bad and the crops started dying. We tried to farm anyway but nothing would grow. Then one day the group of bandits nearby who moved into that old ruined castle came in and started kidnapping villagers to enslave them. We took all of the supplies we could and tried to flee but we can’t get through the mountains with all of the lizards nearby. And some of the other villagers were kidnapped on the way here and dragged back towards their castle”
Seraph admits, "I stumbled around near the castle but didn't go inside. I got attacked by bandits on the road as well... so this is what's going on. For personal reasons, I was going to go give the castle a visit regardless so this might be good reason to do it sooner rather than later. Are there any fighters among you? Fighting alone is risky but fighting as a group is more practical."
Since no one else seems to come forward, Seraph steps up to the man. Seraph himself is fairly on the shorter side so he has to look up at him. "Any weapons you have that you know how to use?"
"The last time I was here a robot tried to guide me into an obvious trap. While I don't think we have to worry for traps that are that obvious, it does mean this place might be trapped and we should stay on guard."
What paths are around Seraph that might lead inside the fort?
Seraph did not like his chances of getting into a 5 vs 2 battle. He decides to wait for them to leave and then try to sneak through the hole and into the castle proper.
The interior of the tower is made of cracked yellowish bricks and with many torches in sconces one the wall with one staircase upward and two paths out of the tower

One large man steps out of the crowd and says in a gruff voice “hey I’m polypore I can fight my job is usually to protect livestock”
Since no one else seems to come forward, Seraph steps up to the man. Seraph himself is fairly on the shorter side so he has to look up at him. "Any weapons you have that you know how to use?"
He says “I got muh club and that’s all I need”
"if you say so." Seraph then turns to Maitake and asks, "I know you're not much of a fighter. What are you going to do?"
Maitake says “thank you so much for Getting me home but I am not much of a fighter so I will stay with my people”
"I figured as much. Alright then. Time to head back to the fort then and deal with the bandits. Let's see if we can't save the prisoners. "
As the two walk to the fortress at a much greater pace than before they soon find another giant lizard on the path
Seraph stops. He doesn't want to get into a fight before going into the fortress so he opts to try and sneak past it again.
Stealth: 16
He once again sneaks by the lizard and they soon come upon the fortress again
"The last time I was here a robot tried to guide me into an obvious trap. While I don't think we have to worry for traps that are that obvious, it does mean this place might be trapped and we should stay on guard."
What paths are around Seraph that might lead inside the fort?
There is the main path there is the guard entrance and there is a hole in the castle tower that is being repaired
How many people are repairing the hole? Would it be possible to sneak past them and enter the castle?
5 people are repairing the hole and they do leave to go grab more stones periodically
Seraph did not like his chances of getting into a 5 vs 2 battle. He decides to wait for them to leave and then try to sneak through the hole and into the castle proper.
They soon enter the castle and the enter the cramped tower
So... what's the interior of the castle like and what paths and stuff are available?
The interior of the tower is made of cracked yellowish bricks and with many torches in sconces one the wall with one staircase upward and two paths out of the tower
