Kelsier moves out of the bush to collect his arrow back from the goblin and the inspect the bodies.

Investigation: 6

 "Well," Hexody says. "They may have alerted more. Stay ready, I suppose."

Kelsier finds the bodies have a bit of coin on them, their weapons and armor and little else.  The weapons and armor are useable but poorly maintained.

22 copper and 5 gold, 2 sets chainmail, 2 shields, 2 scimitars, 2 shortbows and 17 arrows.

"I'm not sure that Gundren and Sildar will last until nightfall if the goblins are this aggressive. Let's be careful, but continue into the cave," Hexody says,.

Kelsier grabs the coinage and the arrows, and then moves over to Hexody. He hands her the money and 10 of the arrows before saying, “I would appreciate it if you would hold the party back a bit while I scout ahead. I’ll give a call if I need backup.” With that, he ghosts into the cave entrance, knifes at the ready.

Stealth: 16

Hexody nods and crouches into the bushes, stowing the arrows and coins.

Just inside the cave mouth, a few uneven stone steps lead up to a small, dank chamber on the east side of the passage. The cave narrows to a steep fissure at the far end, and is filled with the stench of animals. Savage snarls and the sounds of rattling chains greet your ears where three wolves are chained up just inside the opening. Each wolf’s chain leads to an iron rod driven into the base of a stalagmite.

Kelsier waves the rest of the party forwards and then moves on, giving the fissure a wide birth. He creeps on to the next junction, peering carefully around the corner.

Hexody elbows Flaysteir and points at Kelsier motioning to them. Then she enters the cave behind Kelsier.

(OOC: Clarification request. It seems like there is only one direction to go in here, which is towards the snarling wolves. Am I reading that right?)

**Im fairly sure there’s a fissure in the wall and the passage continues on with the stairs, but I could be wrong. Feel free to correct my understanding**

The main passage from the cave mouth climbs steeply upward, the stream plunging and splashing down its west side. In the shadows, a side passage leads west across the other side of the stream.

In the shadows of the ceiling to the north, you can just make out the dim shape of a rickety bridge of wood and rope crossing over the passage ahead of you. Another passage intersects this one, twenty feet above the floor.

Kelsier, give me a perception check and a stealth check.

Stealth: 16

Perception: 19

You spy a single goblin on the bridge.  He's kinda just standing there picking his nose and has not reacted to you.

Kelsier moves back slowly, looking at Hexody. He points ahead, then holds up one finger, then mimes pulling back a bow and releasing an arrow. He then waits for a response.

Hexody nods. She moves forwards a few steps to get a good shot, takes aim, and fires.

Attack: 16 Damage: 7

As she comes up to join him, Kelsier pulls out his own bow and prepares to release the shot in sync with the bard. He steps out, sights, and fires on the inattentive sentry as Hexody releases her arrow.

To Hit: 20

Damage: 12 Piercing

The two arrows strike home, and the goblin slumps to the floor of the bridge nearly silent.

I'll need the rest of you to specify your light source if you go any farther.

Hexody casts Light on her shortbow.

Between the light emanating from the bow and his darkvision, Kelsier pulls out his knifes again and moves forward up the slope, continuing to scout ahead. After a quick hesitation, he looks back at Hexody, and casts minor illusion to whisper into her ear. “Can you take care of the body? We don’t want it to be seen.”

Pearson follows the rest of the group.  ((Pearson casts light at the end of his staff if its neeeded))
