Nixco, faltering for a moment as her eyes widen, remembering scenes from her past, regains her composure, losing the smile everyone had gotten used to seeing. As she speaks, a stern expression in her eyes, the two elves break out laughing - if it could even be called that. The laughs are maniacal, bordering insane, as the elves' faces twist in corrupted delight, stuttering over their own words in their crazed frenzy. "You! You you, you were that stupid human woman who thought she could be a part of our, our militia." Their laughs stop, and an eerie silence fills the room. The female dwarf edges back nervously, as the elves' faces twist in rage, and their eyes nearly glow with insane hatred. "You, you goddamn ******* whore, you had us kicked out of our, our, OUR company, those friends of yours, they, they had US removed from our, OUR company."
With that, the elves rush at you, Nixco, ignoring the others, dashing at an inhumane speed, crazed in their hatred, and before you can react, they reach you and swing their swords at you... As your eyes go wide, you hear a thwang from beside you, as Kane looses his arrow into the face of one of the elves. From behind you, blood-red light, tinged with swirls of green flashes by your head, and explodes against the roof of the cavern. Before the elves are able to hit you, two stalactites fall from the ceiling and impale the elves, instantly killing them, and dashing their blood against the cavern's floor. You realize that Kane and Flyn, well, they just saved your life.
Cade frown, keeping an eye on the dwarf. Into her head he says...
"Is this how you greet those who would aid you and others who have caught this sickness?" Cade speaks directly into the dwarf's mind. "We are here to help anyone who has blue veins... Two people have already died from it..."
Thurrak watches this and looks at the two before awkwardly giving them a thumbs up before turning back to the other dwarf with a fierce look in his eyes. "Tell us what we want to know or else that will be you next..."
Nix looks to each of her party members with awe and gratitude. Her smile returns. "Ilmater has his way. I knew I was right to trust this group. Thank you"
She steps forward towards the dwarf, "Stop this madness, we are here on a mission of mercy and we want to help, but people keep attacking us. Talk to us and you might live, otherwise Ilmater, and more immediately my companions, will have other plans for you."
She takes another step forward, "Are you Hulil? Are you sick? Do you want help?"
The dwarven woman looks at you, Nixco, with blazing eyes, but is wary of you all, and doesn't attempt to move closer to you. She jumps as Cade speaks to her in her head, then growls out, "I haven't done anything. You're the ones who've come in here and killed two of Hulil's men - and I'm not Hulil." She eyes Thurrak and Kane, before speaking again. "What do you want with Hulil? You know about the blue veins, but who are you?"
"All you need to know is that we are here looking for clues about what is causin the blue veins in the first place. This is simply the latest place we were told to look through for more information." Thurakk says as he gives her a similar look right back, his foot slowly tapping on the ground to let her know that he was quickly losing patience with talking.
"Everyone who has come into contact with whatever your boss has from her relative, has made people sick." Cade chimes in. "We need to know what was taken from the pawn shop, and given to your boss."

Make either persuasion or intimidation checks, please. Alternatively, one of you can roll with advantage.
(I'll just give advantage through the help action.)
Cade is not going to intimidate or persuade anyone, so better just roll it with his giving the help action. If you are in the same boat, then I can roll, but Cade has negative to both checks. (-2 to be exact...)
(My mistake. I forgot half-elves have darkvision. You shouldn't have needed to roll, but that's alright.) You immediately notice that there is a break in the wall to the left of you, a bit in front, and also one about 20 feet down the cavern, closer to the pool and the cavern wall, but they both lead in the same direction and seem to join up.
Cade walks up to join the others, drawing forth his Scimitar as he does so. He remains quiet.

Flyn looks down at his hands and then to the roof. "That was supposed to be a warning shot." He whispers.

Kane
Kane will nock another arrow and aim it at the dwarf.

Speaking out loud now...

Kane
Kane will peer into the area behind the dwarf. Is there any indication that there is a path going back to the other side? Or dwellings of some type?
Make a perception check, please.
