“I say we make this the Argent Alliance’s first night time reconnaissance outing.” Xalkas says. To Regyhs “Hand me your pan flute for a moment.” light “This should help you see in the dark. It only lasts an hour, so I can do that again if I need to. Also if you would like next time, I can make it any color you would like.”

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker puts his hand out to block the light. His fingers twitch a bit. Then he sighs heavily and shrugs.  "Very inconspicuous, much better than a lantern.  Alright, let's go take a look around the rock place." 

He stands up and walks out the exit, his scrunched up wings brushing the edge of the doorway on the way out. 

Kerric:

”Agreed,” says Kerric simply, getting up from his meal and preparing to head out into the night

Xalkas gets up and collects his belongings from the room and waits for the others outside the swinging sword preferring to either be last or second to last on the way to the rock. 

OOC:  Quarry recon tonight then sleeping in beds at the inn: Lance Rock tomorrow after selling loot and dividing coinage, right?  Don’t want to confused on pile of rocks versus big rock...

Reghys feels uneasy. The night was there to sleep off any deserved hangovers, or to frolick with pretty many and women about town. It wasn't meant for exploration or sleuthing. Then again, if T was willing to change his ways, they wouldn't be more stubborn. Reluctantly, the satyr follows, keeping close to Ebele. For some reason, they think that the blind monk is the one with the most advantages in this situation.

Ebele would show a hint of a smile on her face to Kerric, “There may be a weapon or two I’m willing to use.” With a nod she’d continue. “I aim to train at least once a day. Though, I’d like to average twice, morning and evening. If there are full days I can dedicate, I do.” She’d add simply

The monk’s head would tip towards Reghys when she’d speak up. She’d lean towards them with a confident nod. “It’d be a pleasure to share knowledge and techniques with you as well.” Ebele believed in building each other up. They are definitely stronger together, and training together could allow for better synchronized battle.

Ebele’s ears would perk at Kerric’s questions. Although he may have been teasing, it still made her hopeful and happy. “There’s always time for berries and cider!”

She’d also be guilty of smiling when Kerric would use the personal example encourage Reghys to step out of their comfort zone and to try their outing during the night. The monk would do her best to muster up her most confident grin for them.

T initiated the hop too, so she did. Ebele would get to get feet and follow the others footsteps around the establishment to the exit. Sensing Reghys’ uneasiness, she’d reach out to gently rest a hand on their shoulder to give them a reassuring squeeze.

Ebele was ready to follow the group to the quarry for investigation.

So in the darkening hour you all exit the Inn and turn left heading for Mellikho Stoneworks and Quarry

Reghys is very glad for the support they feel from Ebele. Having a competent friend was a great way to make sure to not only have adventures, but to live to tell the tale. They were almost launching into a jaunty tune, when Reghys remembered the purpose of their trip, and stayed silent instead. It made them all antsy inside, not being able to give air to the bubbling sentiments inside, and, with a sudden realisation, Reghys starts to feel slightly bad for T, who must have felt similarly, when they cajoled him into shutting up about contracts. Thinking about contracts and what they implied though, the feeling quickly passed, and Reghys was once more focussed on what lay before them.

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker does his best to tread quietly. He has a hand on his blade's handle and his crossbow is hanging on a strap ready for him to grab as they wander in the darkness. 

Ebele would put one foot in front of the other, wondering their way to the quarry. She’d try her best to be quiet. 

occasional people pass you by in both directions hardly sparing any of you a glance

soon you come upon A sign set on two posts in a scrap of weedy lawn out front of a small house reads “Mellikho Stoneworks.” The quarry pit begins just behind the house

Perception: 9 

Ebele would tilt her head to listen, but everyone was so quiet, she wasn’t sure if they just stopped talking, or actually stopped walking. If no one watched out for the monk, she’d walk into the sign. 

Kerric:

"We're here, Ebele," says Kerric, holding out a hand to make sure Ebele did not bull rush any signage.  "Shall we explore the quarry and see if there are any clues about the unusual activity here, or maybe we should find a good place to hide and watch for people in stone masks to arrive," he suggests, asking "What do you think is best?" to his companions.

“Let us walk around the quarry first and look for tracks or reasons for folk in stone masks to be standing around.” T'chal'fronack'zcinicker goes for a stroll around the outside boundary of the quarry. 

“Oop!” Would escape her lips as Kerric would stop her mid march, saving her from a sign she wasn’t entirely aware was there. At least they made it. She was thankful for some discussion to break the silence. Ebele would want to wait for others to chime in to Kerric’s suggestions. She wasn’t entirely convinced last time tactics would work as well the second time. The monk’s learnt not to press her luck. Though, a separate thought would pass her mind when the elf would mention watch for people in stone masks to arrive. Should no one suggest it, she’d throw an idea in the hat. “Any benefit to trying to blend in?” The monk would ask pointing to the bandages on her face as if indicating the thought of a mask.

Ok strolling around the outskirts
