Following the others Smoke will remain silent a moment as the others ask their questions.
Smoke will casually stroll towards the fire as if he feels completely at home. Even through he wears gloves to hide his fur he streches his arms to warm himself on the fire. As he sits down he moves his bag next to himself making sure as he turns around that he has access to his rapier should he need it.
As he eats he mumbles more to himself than anyone else... I knew we should of taken that shortcut.. .. but no we had to take the long road..
Smoke will wait for the group to reply to Rogram and Yevele's questions.
The man within the small group scowls as Rogram speaks, and grumbles only a short answer, "Yes. And no." The woman next to him merely points toward the large cave opening at the back of the camp when Yevele mentions joining up with Tiamat's army, barely looking up to acknowledge her.
The other pair of women at the fire visibly bristle when Smoke takes a seat near them. They glare uncomfortably at him, but continue to string their bows.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thia Perception: 12
For Thia:
The large cave in the rear of the upper level of camp is shrouded in the dim, fading light, but you can see a human form standing around 30 feet into the cave opening, wearing a distinct and familiar black leather outfit that includes a mask of five talons, like a dragon's claw.
Impatience grows on the man's face as he shrugs and offers only, "Find out."
Rogram furrows his brow. "Are you playing a game with us?" he asks, anger coloring his tone. "We are serious." He's itching to grab his blade and show them he is in no mood to be tossed around, but so far, he's resisted the urge.
Smoke tries to ignore and avoid the gazes from the woman staying in character as best he can.
As the discussion heats up a bit he gets up again We might not be to late. he says out loud.
Hold his gloved palm ups up a moment Forgive my friend here, we have had a difficult journey and his patience is shorter than mine hehe adding a fake chuckle to lighten the mood a bit.
He walks towards Rogram Trying to stand between him and the man to break any confrontation. Lets go see who's in the cave, maybe we will find someone in charge that can help us. Thats why we are here remember.
Smoke tilts his head towards the cave entrance to try and avoid a fight here. Maybe we will meet up with someone we know yea?
OOC: Apologies, Yevele's target was a little vague, I misinterpreted who she was speaking to.
Without even bothering to look up again, the man responds evenly to Rogram, "Nope." Aside from a dramatic sigh from one of the women at the fire, none of the humans respond any further as the party moves toward the cave.
Yevele, a little further ahead of the rest of the party, notices that the figure she had spotted is no longer standing in the opening.
The entrance to the cave is broad and tall, but the ceiling quickly lowers to a height of 15 feet. Dim light from the night sky shows that the entrance continues much deeper into the cave.
Yevele will start to move further into the cavern. When she can no longer see clearly, the monk will pull a torch out and light it before heading into the cavern. The redhead will keep an eye out for the hooded figure that she originally saw at the entrance.
As Smoke walks with Rogram towards the cave he whispers Pfew that was close. They still think we are on the same side.
I doubt they expected us to come back here. If we keep our heads down we can still look around a bit, you know that reminds me of.. Smoke pauses before starting a story as he watches the entrance to the cave.
.. This is what Leosin called 'The nursery'. Would they really have dragon eggs? We need to find them.Smoke falls silent after that, not even mentioning that the plunder that was kept in the cave according to Leosin.
He gently lets his fingers run across the handle of his rapier, making sure its ready to get pulled out as they move forward.
Rogram silently listens to Smoke as his ire slowly dissipates. At the mention of dragon eggs, the half-dwarf swallows against the lump that suddenly fills his throat. "I sure hope we don't run into any dragons. Young or not." He really wants to draw his sword just to be safe, but decides that wouldn't look friendly. "Do we just walk in?" he asks, following Yevele.
With Yevele's torchlight leading the way, you move further into the cavern, passing by a pair of natural columns. Further ahead, you can see a broad set of steps descending into the darkness, but a shout snaps your attention to two human men that leap out from behind the columns toward you. Scimitars drawn, each man wears black leather armor and a distinctive mask with five points, like a dragon's claw. Their murderous intent is clear.
Yevele will draw her sword, but, not actually attack. She will say to the men, 'We're here to join up with Tiamat's army. Do you belong to that force?"

The men do not hesitate, falling upon Yevele as quickly as she offers peace. "We know exactly who you are!" one shouts with an accompanying horizontal swing of his scimitar. The pair work well in tandem, coordinating their assault on Yevele together, but the monk is swift on her feet, expecting the attack, and dodges each swing of the sword.
Round 2 Order: Players <===== Dragonclaws
Placement: Yevele is engaged in melee combat with both enemies.

"Wait," Rogram says, looking around. "What?" He steps forward and tries to grapple one of the attackers. "What do you mean you know exactly who we are?"
Athletics check: 27
If the grapple succeeds, and if I have anymore movement available, I'll drag the attacker away from Yevele.

Rogram looks at the cave and back. "Some are in there? Or all? Who's in there?" he finally asks.
Thia surveys the deserted camp just making sure no one is sneaking up on the group.

OOC I thought Yevele was already in the cavern with the figure. The question she posed was directed at that figure.
OOC I will delay my next move depending on clarification of Yevele’s position…

Rogram's scowl relaxes a bit as he looks into the tabaxi's eyes. He finally gives a quick nod and turns to walk toward the cave.
