Listening to the struggle, the monk will pick up her rope and begin binding the hands of one of the bandits at her feet. “This is why I offered rope...” Once she bound her target, she’d pink up the legs of the bandit Xalkas. “On 3, lift with me. 1. 2. 3.” Ebele will lift the legs with Xalkas’ Help

Strength: 13 

Try as you may the leader isnt budging.    

Rehgys can't help but give a good chuckle at the sight of the gnome wizard. "Let me help you with that. You certainly have other strengths, this might not be one." With that, the satyr grabs a hold of one of the bandits, and starts whistling a dwarven worksong to ease the load:

Just whistle while you work
And cheerfully together we
Can tidy up the place
So hum a merry tune
It won't take long when there's a song
To help you set the pace

Strength: 3

Kerric:

Wiping off his sword on the clothes of the dead bandit, Kerric sheathes it and starts moving sleeping bodies.

Athletics:  16

Kerric with a shrug moves the bodies to the cage on the cart

Seeing as she wasn’t any help budging these bodies, she’d step aside to allow Kerric to finish the heavy lifting. Though, Ebele wouldn’t go without ‘looking around’ for her wineskin. The monk would investigate the camp and the bandits once they were caged, curious about what she’d stumble upon.

Investigation: 9 BI: 6 

Kerric:

OOC:  Definitely strip their weapons and anything they could use to try to cut their way out of the cage...

Reghys quickly drops the body they were pulling on, leaving the lifting to Kerric. Seeing that Ebele was looking for her wineskin, Rehgys wanted to test the senses of the blind monk, and tries to grab it as quietly as possible off the floor, using the distraction provided by the rustling and clanking of armour as Kerric moves the bodies to cover the noise of their movements.


Sleight of hand: 14

Xalkas curious about what is in the cave and where it might lead to, stands at the entrance peering inside. Perception 20

once you put the bandits in the cage you notice the lock is broken   it was being held with a metal bar through the hasp  which is now broken

looking in the cave it is  full of stolen food, wine, weapons, and coins.

the food appears to be boxes of rations as well as some game,  the weapons all appear to be an ordinary mixture of swords bows and daggers

three small sacks hold 99 cp, 74 sp, and 13 gp

there are also some skins and assorted leather sheets

It is now late afternoon

the cave is a single chamber

Kerric:

Bending down and picking up Ebele's rope, Kerric wraps it around the closed cage several times and ties it off as best he can, after stripping the bandits (alive and dead) of their useful gear.  Seeing Xalkas sorting through what appears to be the bandit's plunder, he takes in the sight of the wagon and cage, saying, "Xalkas, let's load up the stolen goods in the wagon and wheel it back to town."  No stranger to manual labor, Kerric starts helping with the loading and gets ready to start pulling the wagon.  Seeing its size, he uses his own Elven rope to rig up loops for pulling so everyone can pitch in.

Cart loaded.    Give me strength or athletics checks to see if you can move it.  I mean after the bodies i do have to ask

Xalkas agrees with the elven warrior and helps with the loading as best he can. Leaving the math of loot dividing to T'chal'fronack'zcinicker. As the cart is loaded and ready to be pulled into town, Xalkas walks over, cracks his knuckles “Should he a bit easier now that it’s on wheels” begins pulling on his loop of the rope...

Athletics:9

OOC: Does the bardic inspiration for Kerric still apply? I didn't roll with advantage the first time. If it should apply, then the 13 counts, otherwise I won't be able to go much lower than a 2

Rehgys dislikes manual labour, particularly of the kind that involves them pulling carts. It's a bit too close to the animal side of the satyr's nature for their liking, but seeing that the entire group will be pitching in, Reghys grabs one of the back slings. Before starting to pull or sing though, they tap Ebele on the arm: "I can safekeep this for you if you want, but I think it's better if you carry it, else you might find I drunk all." With that, they hand Ebele the wineskin, satisfied that the monk was either a very good performer, or indeed visually impaired.

As the others get ready to help, Rehgys makes sure they can pull with their shoulders, keeping the hands free for their pan flute. Slowly and steadily building, they are blowing another tune, before belting out:

Rehgys hopes very much that the others will join in the singing, since they believe this to be a well-known tune.

Athletics (try not to laugh): 13 

Performance: 18

Kerric:

     Working on one side of the wagon, Kerric suggests Ebele leads the other side of the wagon.  (Hopefully the rope and others helping will give us each advantage.)  "Next time we bring at least a mule," says Kerric, pulling hard at the wagon.

Athletics:  17

Kerric:

OOC:  If Rehgys can hit at least a 15 on the Perform check, Kerric will join in, humming along without even realizing it.  If he is below 5, the elven warrior will scrunch up his nose in disdain and make some specious comment about non-elven music discordance...

ok  after about 30 minutes the cart is back on the road   with easir going on the road you reach the outskirts of town as the sun is setting

Kerric:

”Does anyone want to run ahead and see where the Constable is?  Where he might want us to deliver this miscreants for questioning?” asks Kerric, sweating lightly after the exertion of pulling this cart for the last several hours.

Xalkas manages to say, between gasping breaths “I’ll check the butcher shop” and heads off in that direction.
