After 8 minutes have passed and Jaylen has not returned "Query: Has anyone noticed what happened to Jaylen?"D.O.R.K. says to the Party. Nobody responds and D.O.R.K. turns to her Goblin troops and says "We must find her. Beedo. Recover your bow, but ready your shield. Same to you Vark. Then on me." With that, D.O.R.K begins making her way toward the building to the northeast – the Broken Arrow Inn. As D.O.R.K. goes to enter the building, Devin says "Yes that is the building Jaylen went into." Devin then steps away from Torunn and approaching the building Jaylen entered he heads for the front door, opens it and looks in without entering.
The Goblins (and others) emerge from the Broken Arrow Inn
Torunn decides go into the Broken Arrow Inn to look for D.O.R.K, Devin Jaylen and the others.
Just as Toruun is about to step inside the Inn realising that Jaylen has been gone for about 20 minutes, and Devin and D.O.R.K. for about 10 minutes, he hears curses in Goblin and bumping and crashing as if something is being carried downstairs. Shortly thereafter Beedo and Vark emerge from the Inn carrying an iron chest between them which they place at Toruun’s feet. Beedo says “the Boss Lady, she say’d we orta give dis to ya”he says kicking the chest “cos ya might be able to open it like!”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Torunn raises an eyebrow, which looks absolutely ridiculous as they barely exist anymore. "I am sure I can work something out." He says as he rummages through his bag. He gets out a few things, eyeballs some measurements and mutters a quick prayer to Gond. He then puts a tiny little package with a string hanging out into the lock. He then looks at Beedo and Vark, "You might want to take a few steps back and put your fingers in your ears." He says with a grin, the using his tinderbox, lights the string and takes a few steps back doing the same as he instructed the two goblins.

He says with a grin, the using his tinderbox, lights the string and takes a few steps back doing the same as he instructed the two goblins.
BANG!!! The chest leaps about five feet in the air and comes slamming back down on the ground on its side. Beedo turns to Vark and says “I like this guy's approach to problems'” He wanders over to the chest and says “uh Little Boss man, I think you opened it but…!” As Toruun goes over to check out the impact of his experiment, he sees that the explosion has opened the chest and inside the box are a suit of chainmail, a dwarven style helm and and leather bag which appears to be leaking something.
Torunn inspects the leaking bag, to determine what exactly is leaking.
As Toruun opens the bag he discovers inside a Potion bottle which has cracked and is now leaking. There are also two gemstones, one a piece of Amber that has cracked across what was obviously a flaw line/ area of weakness and a red garnet that appears to be undamaged.
Seeing the cracked amber, "Luckily that can be fixed." he says as he casts mending on the amber, then turning to the broken potion bottle, "That, unfortunately not so much. Maybe use a little less powder next time."
It is around the time Torunn mentioned using less powder that D.O.R.K makes her exit from the Inn, Heartbreaker and Shield in hand. She says nothing to any, choosing instead to surveil the now tipped over and cracked chest. After a moment's pause, the gem's embedded in her head flash with minute light, and an audible click goes off from inside. "Ohhhh…. That is what was forgotten." She says, lowering her arms.
She clicks something behind her faceplate again, and starts rubbing the back of her head. "Whoops!" She emits before letting out a very child-like giggle. One she abruptly stops to turn red glowing eyes on her brother. "Caution. Do not do that again, or I will be obligated to issue punishment number seven." She walks up and leans over Torunn. "And I won't remember the safety word this time."

Jaylen walks out of the inn with Kella close behind. She motions to and introduces the others one at a time. "Kella, please tell them what you told me earlier."
Jaylen walks out of the inn with Kella close behind. She motions to and introduces the others one at a time and then says "Kella, please tell them what you told me earlier."
In response to Jaylen’s request, Kella says “as Jaylen has already told you, my name is Kella and I am from the Monastery of the Yellow Rose, a temple dedicated to ‘He Who Endures’ located in the Earthspur mountains on the edge of the Sea of Fallen Stars. Two nights ago, I arrived in this village and booked a room for the night. The next morning I work up to the sounds of what sounded like somebody was besieged the village and castle with catapult launched boulders. But before I could get out of bed, something – I can only assume was a boulder – came crashing through the roof. When I came to”she asks the party what day it is and being told it is Day 3, First Ten-day, Month of Eleasis (High Sun) continues says “I found myself lying in the wreckage of my room and must have been knocked out for at least a day. I then decided that somewhere else, anywhere else for that matter, was safer. However, just as I packed up and was starting to leave, two ridden by Goblins and a several Goblins on foot came running across the Square. One of the Worg riders dismounted and came into the Inn and I shot him. I then hid in my room until Jaylen found me just a few minutes ago.”
Torunn turns to D.O.R.K and gives a big grin, "Red, you couldn't have expected anything less when you sent your minions to me with the chest." He then turns to Jaylen and Kella, "By my count, we have 5 goblins and two worgs accounted for. Kella, do you think there was more than 5 goblins?"

D.O.R.K just shakes her head at Torunn before going to retrieve her javelin. "Clarification. Acolytes. And I stand by my warning, Brother."Despite the dryly delivered statement, Torunn would know full well the amusement buried behind it.... Just as he'd also know she was serious about the punishment.
Jaylen nods and walks to and enters the northeast building.
Throughout much of the earlier discussion, D.O.R.K had been keeping a close eye on Jaylen. Or more accurately analyzing the woman. Torunn she understood in her own way, and had honestly expected no less. But the woman hadn't so much as thrown a dagger, or beseeched for a boon in the last fight. Then, she slipped away without word or thought of concern for her personal safety.
It took Beedo speaking up on it for D.O.R.K to notice her axe hand had started to shake in her grip. She covers it with her shield arm and says, "... This operative is fine. Prepare yourself." She looks Torunn. "Query: Would alright if Vark makes use of the mail, and Beedo the helmet?"Once she had her answer and that of her acolytes on the idea, she'd either wait outside with them while they donned their new gear, or follow after Jaylen with the two in tow.
As D heads to the building to the NE he calls out to her.
"If you are looking for Jaylen she went into this building here. "
He points to the building that Jaylen went into.
Devin then steps away from Torunn and approaching the building Jaylen entered he heads for the front door, opens it and looks in without entering.

Meiva walks to the building, but stays outside. She stands guard with shortsword drawn.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Kella replies "I saw more than 10 goblins run across the Village Square and into various buildings!"

"Are you fit to defend yourself if it comes to that?" Jaylen asks the newcomer.
Kella hefts the Light Crossbow and says "I believe so."

Devin watches as Jaylen, once again, just walks away from the group without a word. He shrugs and turns away.
Walking up to Vark and Beedo he asks them a question.
"So boys, where did all of the people go? Were they here when you and your goblin buddies showed up?"
"Nah udda Boss Man, dere was nobody 'ere but tother Goblins' ere when we arrived?" Beedo replies to Devin's question
