(@DDP: Eww.. 5 minutes? In that case, after the a minute of running he'll let the Orc go, if only to avoid leaving his brothers alone for too long with potentially other Orcs in hiding in the cave.)

When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
As Vondal runs out of the cave in pursuit, Nif curses his miss, but decides to let the younger dwarf do the running. He turns to inspecting the bodies of the orcs and ogre. Each is wearing filthy hide armor fit only for orcs and ogres. 4 of the orcs have 2 javelins on them. 3 have 1 javelin on them. All seven orcs (including the guard outside) have a greataxe. The ogre's weapon is really just a huge bit of a tree, not really a weapon. None of them have any other items of interest. The cave is probably a different story ...
Vondal comes back two minutes later, a bit winded, but none the worse for wear.
OOC: Everyone earns another 230 XP. Adrom, you still need to level up to level 3. Go ahead. You've long rested since you should have done it. The four veterans should have 1850 xp, while Adrom has 1220 xp.
Nif approaches the NW chest first. "Time to try a new trick.' he says to anyone who followed. He then summons a spectral hand and focuses on it. It then slowly fades invisible. Then, he uses the hand to approach the chest and unlock it.
9
If he successfully opens it, he will approach and search.
The lid to the chest pops open as if by magic ... oh, wait. That's exactly what happened. Nif, you look inside and find ... the chest is mostly full of coins (750 cp, 180 sp, 62 ep, and 30 gp once counted), and three vials of perfume.
(So close, and yet so far from that delicious 4th level and Wizadry for Vondal. T.T Though in anycase, let me know DDP when Vondal actual arrives on the scene.)

(@All: My bad everyone. It genuinely took me hours to come back and realize I f'd up there. XD)
(Also, if you would split and divide the coin among yourselves before Vondal gets back, that's fine. No OOC complaints here, in any case. Same if Nif pinches some off the top while people aren't necessarily looking)
Winded, Vondal comes tromping in looking more agitated than the brothers have ever seen the gold dwarf. "You'll have to forgive me, my Brothers. Uncle. Though I could of perhaps run that last one down eventually, I grew worried of there being more hiding here! Possibly waiting for ambush you all."Vondal huffs and roughly brushes his hair back into place along his scalp. Ignoring the few stubborn bangs to fall back into place, the gold dwarf eyes whatever coin happens to be visible with a look of surprise. "It seems the Orcs have done fairly well for themselves, all things considered. Not sure why they would have perfumes of all things put away, but could go for pretty price back in town... Or even-..." He shudders. "Used in deal with Banshee later, if desperate enough. Not quite a mirror, but at least something alike to capture interest enough to answer query... But anyhow! Were there anything else?"He would ask.
If Nif or another mentions the other chest, Vondal would nod and offer to count up the coin while at least some went to find out what might be inside. The perfume he only offers to hold on to for the time being should noone else speak for them.
Divided Coin: 150cp each, 36sp each, 13ep each(Exception: 12 for Vondal), 6gp to all.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(@DDP: Forgot to ask this before, but what time of day/night it is by the time we killed off the Orcs & Ogre?)
As Nif sets to work on the next chest, Vondal turns to the others and say, "We should take this chance to catch air 'fore we go anywhere. It is a long trip back to Phandalin, and it is best we be in best health leaving."The gold dwarf then gets out some spare bandages and starts binding up his wounds. The same is offered for the others if they should need it.
Short Rest Die(if able): 17. (spending 2 die).

Nif, your spectral hand is able to unlock the small chest. You open the lid to find a single bronze ring inside. Along the outside, runes are etched into the band.
Vondal, during your short run, you found the shadows very long in the setting sun.
Sorry I thought I responded! Uni has been insane this last week.

Nif routinely inspects and searches each of the bodies whilst vondal gives chase.

Not finding anything on the orcs, Nif turns to investigating the cave.
investigation: 17
Nif, you find two chests. One is in the northwest and one is central (see the map).
Nif approaches the NW chest first. "Time to try a new trick.' he says to anyone who followed. He then summons a spectral hand and focuses on it. It then slowly fades invisible. Then, he uses the hand to approach the chest and unlock it.

"Perfume?" asks Adrom "What do those beast would want perfume for?"
( Lvl 3 it is! nice! rolling HP: 5 or do we play fixed? )
PbP Character: A few ;)
You can do either — just be consistent.

I guess we'll assume Nif mentions the second chest. It's locked.
He does head over to it.
He uses the same trick, and attempts to unlock it.

Vondal, during your short run, you found the shadows very long in the setting sun.
Nif collects the ring and takes it to Adrom. "Do you know what these runes mean?" He asks.
Adrom, you take a look, but they runes don't seem to have any meaning for you.
Both Nif and Adrom can feel a kind of energy from the ring. It is certainly special.
