Elizabeth sighed in relief to hear that the vampire is dead so it shouldn't be a problem for them. She heard Feth, agreeing with him about wanting to know more about the land and it's history. She listened as Audett told them that a emerald gem is owned by a dragon of the forest and a pearl that comes from a monstrous clam, surprised by all the different gems that they will have to get. Then Audett started to talk about the sheep as she suddenly trailed off, confused. "M-Maybe what?" she had said back to her, wondering what she was going to say next.
Audett is hesitant. "W-well, maybe it's not a vampire, but the vampire's minions? Surely they weren't all destroyed."
"...anyway, it's getting late, if we don't hurry we won't reach the city before nightfall, so we must bid you all adieu. Please stay safe, all of you!"
With that, she and her ox continue down the dirt path towards the capital.
We should hurry too! The cave's not far, maybe half an hour's walk at most!
After an hours march Garner is exhausted. The march has aggravated old injuries...a dull aching pain radiates from his hip down his leg. It's takes everything he has not to collapse onto the ground and sleep.
He lowers his body onto the rocks, sits and looks to Kaida, "If we're to go in there..." he points to the cave mouth, black as night. "Should we transform? Are we even able to transform without the runes?"
Garner awaits Kaida's reply.
He then turns his head and focuses his attention on the Gemcaptors, "Can anyone sneak to the mouth of the cave and peer inside? It seems ill advised to wander into holes without some scouting first."
Excited at the prospect of transforming again whispers to himself “Traust Gýgr Fegrð Veðr Steinn” The pink light surrounds him once more leaving Windy Diamond in his place. "Onward fiends! Let us show these villains who we are."
Elizabeth had heard as Audett said that it might be the vampire's minions as they couldn't have been all destroyed, now nervous. Soon Audett said goodbye and left them before they all continued to head to the cave, agreeing with Garner. Eventually they made it to the mouth of a cave as Kaida said that this was it. She heard as Garner asked if they should transform now and if anyone can sneak to the mouth of the cave and peer inside, wanting to scout first before going inside. She thought about that as Kaida told them that this would be the time to return to their heroic form, Wilfan transforming and Feth saying that he could scout but would need a rest after their journey. "I-I can scout then, I'm used to observing and having to notice little things..." Elizabeth had said back, nodding. She knew that she should transform first but didn't think that Roselia could be helpful as a scout, believing that as long as she is quick with it, then she should be fine. So she carefully and quietly went to the mouth of the cave, looking inside closely and listening with intent as well since it might be too dark for her to really see anything. Once she sees/hears all that she can, especially anything suspicious or dangerous she will quickly make her way back to the others and report her findings.
(OCC: Does Elizabeth see and/or hear anything with 20 Passive Perception?)
Elizabeth goes some way down the cave mouth, finding that just as she reaches the point where she can barely see the light of the sun, a new light appears, that of torchlight. She discovers a cavern, with torches on the cave wall, wooden barrels on the floor, and a bedroll, empty. She doesn't notice anything living here, but feels that that may not mean that nothing is watching.
(The cave mouth is on the left side of the image.)
Not wanting her to go alone Windy follows Elizabeth in to the cave. Staying a bit back to let the smaller girl sneak better but not letting her out of sight either. Then following her back to the others as well.
By the time Elizabeth and Windy are back, Feth is done resting and stands up, shouting (not too loudly) ”Abracadabra!” (I misspelled it last time), undergoing the same transformation as before, ”Anything interesting?” Black Magic says to the newly returned scouting party
Elizabeth was surprised as she saw the torchlight, looking into the cave mouth. She goes through it and to the cavern before soon seeing more torches, wooden barrels, and an empty bedroll. No one seems to be here, but that doesn't mean something or someone couldn't be watching somehow, especially with the bedroll there. Then she headed back along with Windy to the others. "There is a cavern in there lit with torches, and the only things in there are wooden barrels and an empty bedroll. We should still be very careful going through since something or someone could still be watching." Elizabeth had said to the others about what she had found.
Coldspears axe moves from his shoulder to above his head, he looks like a Y. He begins moving his body from left to right, twisting and grunting.
”Enough delay, let’s get to it...come now, everyone limber up...we need to retrieve the gem and Kaida has information it lies within this cave. Limber up, pray to your gods...we do not know what perils await us.”
Jean's concern is visible on his face as he hears Elizabeth speak. He frowns as he thinks, before speaking: "Kaida, are you aware of anyone seeking the gems besides our evil adversaries, or is this them?"
Seeing Coldspear, Jean hardens his resolve. "Beauty, Strength, Grace- The virtues of Lady Firehair."Jean's transformation casts a red tint over the cave entrance as he is covered in a rosy flame. Gallant Rose steps into the cave, joining Coldspear at the front, before calling to the rest of his companions. "Let us be off."
Blazing eyes search the room for threats. Wary of the emptiness of the room and mind recalling the tale of the vampire, Gallant Rose chooses to use his divine sense to search for threats.
”Yes, we should head in now” Black Magic says, nodding in agreement with what the previous people said, before adding ”I will also be at the back, I don't think I could take too many blows”. While they are heading in, he uses Prestidigitation to light his torch, then is immediately surprised at himself that he cast a spell, quietly saying confusedly ”Huh...” while slowly blinking, trying to process what just happened, inside, he is both very confused, and very excited.

“A vampire...you don't have to tell me twice. I think we best find some shelter from the night. Goodbye Audett, thank you for the information."
Garner follows Kaida.
We should make it there well before nightfall!
After about an hour, you come to the mouth of a cave in sandstone. This is it!
Garner
After an hours march Garner is exhausted. The march has aggravated old injuries...a dull aching pain radiates from his hip down his leg. It's takes everything he has not to collapse onto the ground and sleep.

Yes, now would be a great time to return to your heroic forms; things are about to get dangerous!
”Okay, I can scout, but I may need a small rest first, I am quite tired from the journey.” (Just a few minutes, not an actual short rest)

Seeing his companions enter the cave he picks himself off the ground
“I HAVE THE POWERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!” He yells as a cloud of ravens appears...Coldspear emerges.
As Windy Diamond and Elizabeth approach, Coldspear rests his axe over his shoulder, “And...what was seen?”
Elizabeth was surprised as she saw the torchlight, looking into the cave mouth. She goes through it and to the cavern before soon seeing more torches, wooden barrels, and an empty bedroll. No one seems to be here, but that doesn't mean something or someone couldn't be watching somehow, especially with the bedroll there. Then she headed back along with Windy to the others.

”I see”, he says replying to Elizabeth’s report.
Coldspears axe moves from his shoulder to above his head, he looks like a Y. He begins moving his body from left to right, twisting and grunting.
”Enough delay, let’s get to it...come now, everyone limber up...we need to retrieve the gem and Kaida has information it lies within this cave. Limber up, pray to your gods...we do not know what perils await us.”
Coldspear turns and walks toward the cave mouth.

Windy Diamond
”I shall act as rear guard.” Waiting till all the others enter Windy follows behind stopping to look and listen to path behind them.
You move into the cave, through the cavern with the barrels and bedroll, and into a large, dirt-filled square room.
Wooden outcroppings like the roots of a massive tree grow from the floor in several places.
Blazing eyes search the room for threats. Wary of the emptiness of the room and mind recalling the tale of the vampire, Gallant Rose chooses to use his divine sense to search for threats.
