OOC: Sorry I didn't mention it before, but you would notice that Jaylen isn't wielding her shield any longer (it's strapped to her back again), but she is wielding her crossbow.

Exploring the Livery Stable
Jaylen nods and walks to and enters the northeast building.
As Jaylen opens the doors and walks into the building she can see that this building is obviously the Village’s Livery Stable. On the ground directly in front of her is a large boulder which has obviously crashed through the roof. On either side of the boulder are a series of horse stalls – eight to the north (left) and five to the south (right). In the eight stalls on the north side are five draft horses and in the stalls to the south are five riding horses. Hanging on the walls next to the stalls are bits, bridles, and leather saddles, collars, blinkers, etc. Immediately to her left and right are two wooden ladders heading up to what is obviously the hay loft. Suddenly out of the darkness she hears the twang of a bow string being released and from up high towards the back of the hay loft an arrow comes flying towards her (22 Damage: 5) and pierces her shoulder.
"Acolytes!"D.O.R.K asks, giving only the slightest turn back to the duo. With almost gleeful expressions, the say in unison "Right!" And go rushing in past both D.O.R.K and Jaylen. If they spot the perpetrator in the dark, they'll rush up(Dash) the ladders with their swords sheathed, and shields held above them for at least some cover along the way. Meanwhile, D.O.R.K strides in and loosely interposes herself between Jaylen and the perpetrator. "Remind me to include you in morning drills later."She calmly states as she drops her axe, and sends a javelin flying into the hay loft.
Torunn agrees to allowing the goblins to where the armour and then collects the other items and puts them in his bag to add to rest of the groups shared stuff with the elephant later. He then heads into the stable to see what the commotion is.
Jaylen's eyes follow the goblin as it falls from the loft. She then silently looks at Dork for a couple seconds before bending down and gathering up her spilled bolts.
D.O.R.K met Jaylen's look with a silent one of her own. Once Jaylen looks away, the Forged One puffs out her chest a little and nods to herself. Meanwhile, Beedo and Vark -- having just made it to the top before seeing goblin fall -- start to make their down. "Hold on two. Double Check and make sure no one else is rooting around in there. And if they wish to surrender, have them come down." D.O.R.K requests of her Acolyte.
Vark groans, and is about to voice his complaint when Beedo says, "You 'eard 'er. Weeze gotta be clear 'n true 'bout it."Vark narrows his eyes suspiciously at Beedo. "... What?"Vark rolls his eyes, leaving Beedo to stare up in confusion. But after adjusting his new helmet he continues on up. At scimitar point, the duo check the hay before climbing down to look over the stalls and loot their former comrade. D.O.R.K had retrieved her Javelin long before then, and had wandered over to assist Jaylen in collecting her bolts.

Beedo and Vark search out the rest of the loft and then come back down as they pass the Goblin's body, Beedo spits in its general direction and says "dat be one less Boss 'Ark 'as got in is mob now!"Beedo shows a box to D.O.R.K. which opens with a flourish - inside are 10 silvered darts - as he says"BossLady we also found this up in the hay loft!"Upon closer examination, D.O.R.K. realises that the box is engraved with the same symbol as is hanging on the large building in the southeast corner of the Village Square.
Devin approaches the others and calls out to them as he gets near.
"Hey everyone! Get out here." he calls as he arrives.
He'll lay a tied up and unconscious goblin down where the group is gathered outside the barn.
"I caught this goblin in a tower on the wall. She had plundered some goods and was hiding there. I'm hoping it can answer questions of what's going on in this village and where the people have gone."
Having taken the box to examine the symbol, D.O.R.K passes it back to Beedo. "These will be more useful in your hands than mines or there's. So keep them... But try not waste them." She looks at Vark's disheveled appearance. "And help your brother get his armor properly sorted before joining us outside." D.O.R.K takes her leave, finally answering Devin's summons. After kneeling down to examine the condition of the goblin, and if conscious addresses her with, "Greetings. I am a Dedicated Operative of the Red Knight. You may call D.O.R.K., for now. We have questions. You may have answers. Answer truthfully and succinctly and you will not shown further harm, if harm has thus far been done. Additional compensation is open for negotiation." She pauses, awaiting an answer. "As we have thus far discovered, Nightstone has been abandoned following an attack by a sky castle. Elaborate on what you know of this event... Before that, however, Query: Are you Dorothy? Additional Query: Or was it Dora?" She asks, pantomiming tugging at a short beard.
D.O.R.K. kneels down to examine the condition of the goblin.
As D.O.R.K. kneels down to examine the Goblin, she realises that she is still unconscious. However before she has opportunity to initiate Wake-Up Protocol Three Beedo wanders out of the Stable shoving five of the silvered darts into a interim clip he has fashioned on the back of his shield. He takes one look at the unconscious and bound Goblin and say’s “not wurf it BossLady! She’s a gal and dey pretty much useless an’ dunno anytink?”

After collecting her bolts (and reluctantly being helped pick up the last of them), Jaylen steps further into the livery to check the horses for injury.
D.O.R.K. looks once between both goblins before saying, "I would still hear from her and confirm things in this instance for myself. Though, the council is appreciated." She looks over to Torunn, knowing out of everyone, he had the softest appearing hands. So, it shouldn't be too bad of a hit. "However... Query: Gal? Additional Query: Why should she not know anything? Additional Additional Query: Did this Boss 'Ark went out of his way to avoid divulging information to this goblin in particular?"

Probably looking and feeling a bit like an insect in a collection that is just about to be pinned down, Beebo says “No BossLady not dat I know. But everybody knows that gals is pretty useless and dunno anytink!”Meanwhile Vark is looking on with a bit of a grin watching Beedo try and dig his way out of yet another situation which his tendency to open mouth before engaging brain has got him into.
Jaylen looks around for feed, water and dispensing apparatuses.
There is a well in the middle of the Village Square (D6) and there is grain in the large square room at the back of the Stable on the southern side, plus hay upstairs in the loft.
Time Check - you've now been in the Village for about 45 minutes

Jaylen sucks in a breath through clinched teeth, then loads and fires her crossbow.
Crossbow Attack: 5; Damage: 9 piercing damage
Fumble roll: 17
She looks down as her remaining bolts spill all over the floor of the livery.
"Acolytes!" D.O.R.K asks, giving only the slightest turn back to the duo. With almost gleeful expressions, the say in unison "Right!" And go rushing in past both D.O.R.K and Jaylen.

The Fight in the Livery Stable
You hear a groan and a Goblin - transfixed with a Javelin - pitches forward from the hayloft onto the floor of the Livery Stable.

Torunn agrees to allowing the goblins to where the armour and then collects the other items and puts them in his bag to add to rest of the groups shared stuff with the elephant later. He then heads into the stable to see what the commotion is.
Meiva hurries over from her "guard" position to see what's going on.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Devin crosses the square and heads for the building on the SE corner of the square. He'll enter carefully looking around.
Perception 17
(The building at 11G on the combat map. )

Meiva rolls her eyes, but says nothing. She picks at her neck. Where there should be a cut is now only a tiny thin line.
And that's all I have to say about that.
After collecting her bolts (and reluctantly being helped pick up the last of them), Jaylen steps further into the livery to check the horses for injury.
Animal handling: 18
Medicine: 16
D.O.R.K. looks once between both goblins before saying, "I would still hear from her and confirm things in this instance for myself. Though, the council is appreciated."
