Latisha slows her stride down to allow the party to catch up, "Ya probably know dhe Fiend Princes better as the 'Five Faces of the Desecrated Darkness'. Dhat be what dhe Othrodox Priests called them, me figure dhat odher sects dhat worship dhe dhe Holy Light and dhe Gods dhat represent it, would call dhem dhe same as well. Alastor, dhe Prince of Pain; Bune, dhe Prince of Deadh; Elisheth, dhe Princess of Excess; Procell, dhe Prince of Chaos; and Valefar, dhe Prince of Lies. Dhe Asherites seem to dhink dhey got a Fiend King dhat directs dhem and goes by dhe name 'Ahriman'. Not gonna find out for meself if dhat's alright widh ya. Regardless, dhe ancestors of dhe Tribe told me dhat dhey be tryin' to kill me soon. Me be guessin' dhat a Caplata, what ya would call a 'Blood Witch', saw me as I traveled here. Ya gotta get a pact widh a Fiend Prince to get dhat power. Ya would know me as a 'Witch Doctor', and me be a juicy target for a Blood Witch. Every Tribe in dhis Western Hemisphere dhat me know of got some kind of Spirit Guardian, we call it Loa. Each type of Loa be like an element of dhe world. Dhe Loa of my people be our wisest ancestors, our Rada as we would say. Dheir power comes from dheir knowledge of life and dhe connection dhey have to dhe Tribe, dhey be like dhe Air. Ya got dhe Guede, dhe be spirits as old as dhe world, what ya would know as 'Angels'. Dheir power comes from dhe primordial essence of de world, dhey be like dhe Water. Ya got dhe Petro, dhe be spirits of emotion and ideology. Dheir power comes from dhe dhought and feelin' of people, dhey be like Fire. Finally, ya got dhe Havala, living creatures infused widh dhe power of dhe land by the Tribe. Dheir power comes from dhe land, dhey can not leave it, dhey be like Earth."

After 8 to 10 minutes of jogging, it becomes obvious that the plateau is also the abandoned mine that the three Dice Players in the Saloon mentioned. You can see a Mine Cart with an unlit Bullseye Lantern handing from a hook attached to it, a well built but aging Mine Entrance, and a pile of refuse rocks off to the side of the entrance. As you begin to ascend a hill before Latisha holds her hand to stop the Party. She puts a finger on her mouth before she squats down, moves silently to position her self behind a group of black sagebrushes, and motions for you to come. You can hear light snoring and soft squeaking sounds among the light wind and ruffling of the sagebrush. You can see the remaining half of a corpse of a male Gunnison Grouse in the sagebrush, it's rotting a little and it smells terrible. The bite marks on it look consistent for group of pack carnivores.

Heck

DM

 Ste Watch your step, fellas, I don’t know about all these fiend princes and what have you, but there’s there’s something or something’s bitey out here, and that’s something i can reckon with. Heck draws his pistol and waits for Latisha’s instructions.

Dobbs nods his head darkly at Latisha's naming of Alastor, and lets her continue. "Thankee fer sharin' yer tale with us, witch doctor. I've heard o' yer types o' healers, I've a mind ter trust yer over this "blood witch"--seems like a warlock I've had trouble with. And this "Guede" I've certainly had dealin's with." Eugene continues onward. Following the witch into the brush, he mutters darkly to himself under his breath at the sight of the Grouse.

Nature on what a Grouse is: 11

Medicine inspecting the wounds: 10

He unslings his rifle, crouching in the brush.

Stealth: 7

Stealth 17

The dead bird in the sagebrush looks very dead with multiple sharp little bites across it and only half of it remaining. What does remain looks vaguely like a turkey, but is obviously not. Latisha points foward and you take a look, you see two Kobolds that seem to be set as guards. The one on the left side of the entrance to the mine is fast asleep and lightly snoring, the one on the right side is awake but doesn't look too attentive. "Me not so great at dhe fightin' so me'll follow ya lead from here on. Are ya able to do it quiet or should we go in blazin'?" Latisha asks.

((If you genuinely don't know what a grouse is, I suggest looking it up. We guys in the West have some interesting things around here and grouses are one of the weirder ones))

((It’s a small game bird, right?))

I can try to take the awake one out quiet like, a rapier to the back usually does the trick... unless you think you could do a little backstabbing, Slick.

((Here's a Gunnison Grouse:

Yeah Grouse are game birds, but you can't hunt a Gunnison. They're Endangered, but obviously Kobolds wouldn't care))

((Kobolds are notoriously inconsiderate of the endangered species list.))

((If Dcattarina isn't around by Sunday, I'm going to have to assume that Vito got knocked out drunk and isn't there))

((He's on vacation, I'll shoot him a text))

"My, that's a purdy lookin' bird. I'm more o' a guns blazin' type, but maybe le's creep up sneak like at first."

((Cool if we use the same stealth rolls?))

((Yep, technically your stealth hadn't come into play yet so you can still use it))

Alright, I’m gonna try to get around behind the one who’s awake and put him to sleep, permanent like. You got anything more quiet than that rifle, Preach?

Dobbs gives Heck a knowing grin. "Only the sacred flame the Holy Light saw fit ter bestow me. Not great fer bird executions, I say we cut it's throat and let Mercy take the rest." He gives a thoughtful look. "Unless yer talkin' 'bout fer fightin' our way into the mine?"

Alright, I’m gonna see if I can sneak up behind the wakey one and send him off to kobold heaven. If the other one starts waking up you put a bullet in em.

Heck draws his Rapier slowly before he begins to make his way silently around, moving up to the right side of the plateau, then quietly and slowly creeping towards the blindside of the awake Kobold. The awake Kobold seems to be bored and unattentive, he doesn't seem to have noticed Heck at all. The sleeping Kobold is still snoring, if Heck did make any noise, he figures that the snoring drowned it out. Heck sees his opportunity when the awake Kobold turns his head towards his sleeping fellow.

Heck will have Advantage on this Attack Roll.

Dobbs unslings his rifle, taking aim at the sleeping kobold and prepared to use his sharpshooter feat to fire after Heck's strike. ((-5 attack, +10 damage, would this be at advantage because he's sleeping?))

((Yes. Any Attack Roll against an unaware target has Advantage. I also give Advantage for going before a Target on the First Round and for the Surprise Round))

Heck brings his arm back for a thrust to the kobold’s neck. Attack: 18 Damage: 7

Heck's strike is quick and accurate, into the center of the neck. The Kobold reflexively reaches for its neck and then falls down. The noise made is small, it doesn't echo at all and the sleeping Kobold doesn't wake up from it.

Is Eugene still going to shoot? If so, please roll.

Heck will look to Eugene and put a finger to his lips. If he doesn’t shoot, Heck will look into the tunnel perception 15 and move over to the sleeping Kobold stealth 19 and attempt another execution.
