Giving Ronkur a raised eyebrow, Wakka added afterwards, "We're sorry for your losses and the troubles you've had and we'll do what we can to help you and the missing fisherman. When was the last raid? Did they continue after the fishers left or since you've decided to stay inside?"
Perkas listens Intently and quirks her lips thinking about the cave system. After everyone has said what they needed to and has gotten the answers they need she offers up a plan.
"might be a good idea to stick around here for the night. Make sure no unwanted trespassers come a callin'. Maybe post up by the tracks ya saw? Or we could head straight for the caves, but I wouldn't wanna get stuck in 'em overnight. When the tides come in, does the caves you all talkin' bout flood? We don't wan' ta be intruding on what little these folks have left. Maybe it would be best ta get heading that way sooner than later. Do you all have a way ta defend yourselves?"
"No, I'm not holding anything back!" he says indignantly - and you can tell that he's being open and honest with you. He's just a scared fisherman in over his head (man... =) "I heard the monsters prowling about two days ago - I heard a scream come from the direction of the supply hut." He points towards the wooden building by itself to the north. "They'll probably be coming again soon! You've got to help us - we're just simple folk!"
'Easy there Ronkur.' Manfred says, flashing a brief smile as he interposes himself between Ronkur and the fisherman.
Speaking to the fisherman, 'We came as soon as we could, and we'll deal with the threat now that we are.'he lays a reassuring hand on the fisherman's arm'but you need to keep yourself safe while we do. We'll go and check out the hut now, and then we'll deal with any other threats. It's almost over now...'
He turns to look at the others 'Shall we check out by the supply hut, then clear out the caves?'
Fishing Supply Hut: Nets, hooks, chains, rope, and other fishing supplies lay destroyed on the floor of this hut near the corpse of an old woman lying face down in a pool of dried blood. Manda Gutterpunch ran this shop that serviced the fishers in the village.

Genren finds the tip of a blade made of bone in Manda’s stomach... DC 18 History check:
The bone spear tip is of sahuagin make. Coastal settlers refer to sahuagin as “sea devils,” for sahuagin have no compassion in them, slaughtering the crews of ships and decimating coastal villages.
"Sit tight. We'll investigate and let you know when it's safe to come out again." Wakka shared with Marciano as he gave the man a reassuring pat on the back before following the others towards the hut.
After finding the woman dead in her store, Wakka knelt down next to the Genren, he asked the elf, "Can you tell anything the might help us?"
He takes out the bone blade from the women's wounds, showing it to the group. "Can't say much, but this is what killed her... sea people that use bone? Any ideas?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ronkur looks at his comrades as they pat him on his shoulder and try to placate him 'Just wanted to make sure he was safe in there - you.canna never be too careful ya know. Slippery sea devils they are....could be anywhere.' his voice falls off to a mumble as he walks off and follows the rest of the party.
Seeing the bone blade, he slides a complex looking tool out of a slot on his left arm, opening it and using it to examine the blade carefully
History: 18
Edit: No idea what triggered the warning - roll as a 10.
'Shall we try the hidden cave entrance you found, Genren? Seems like that might be significant...'
While waiting for an answer Manfred closes his eyes for a moment, making a few strange gestures and mumbles what sounds like a question. The sharp eyed will note that he is surrounded by a slight shimmer for a moment, leaving him coated in a light, persistent hoar frost...
Perkas stays neat the back of the group, outside watching for anything that might do them harm. She picks her nails with a a bolt tip. When the others filter out of the hut she nods her head up with raised eyebrows, having heard what was said.
"Dead body, nasty bone blade? Let's get those caves cleared out. These people seem to have danger floating all around them. Should we take the body back to the others or wait till all is said and done?"
Rankor leaps to the air, hovering just a few inches off the ground and leads the way towards the hidden cave entrance, head on a swivel looking for any signs of trouble or any remains from the assailants.
“The body ain’t going no where so we can leave it for now, I’m guessing more corpses will need to be buried once we’re done”Genren nods as he stands up and takes his bow in his hand. “Ay I’ll lead the way. Anyone else taking point with me? We going in stealthily or raising hell berserker style? ” He grins, locking his jaw eyes intense. (I’ll be leading the group to the cave entrance.)

"I agree, We'll come back for them when everything is settled." Wakka began before pulling out and strapping a large glittering shield to his arm. "And I'll take the rear in case the attackers want to try and be clever."
(Wakka - nope - you've checked 2 buildings. There are 2 others you could investigate - the rest are small homes that are locked up tight.) For the group, I have Genren in lead and Wakka in the rear. Let me know where everyone else is in the marching order and any other actions you take prior to entering the first hidden cave entrance (marked with an arrow on the map.)

Genren examines the hut further and kneels next to the corpse. (Survival to see how long she’s been dead or if I can identify the wounds: 21 )

Manfred shakes his head sadly as he sees the dead woman, and then again at the bone tip. 'Sorry, I don't recognise it.'

Tallow stuck closely to the group following wherever they went. He was slightly trembling.
