Grumbling, stomping, and scratching randomly, Flint bounds down the stairs looking for a tankard of ale. "Where'd that lad get off to? Said 'e was off findin' breakfast..."
Seeing Jorji, Flint produces the bag of gems. "I unnerstan' yer leavin' us today. Fer as I can count, one o' these gems is yers, ta claim as ye like. I'm guessin' we'll be talking soon about how ta handle t'other 4."
Marav sighs, "Just got here during the fight last night, come eat with us, you can fill us in on everything."
When you see Ink, you see a sun elf that seems to not want bring attention to himself. He wears rather plain clothes, keeps his black hair cut short and just... well, nothing really stands out about him - except for small patches of bluish-black stains on his sleeves. His black eyes though, are seeming always darting - as if they were trying to absorb everything.
"Thank you for the invitation, however, you still have not told me what you or your compatriots are doing here in Nightstone. I would like to understand you and your friends better before we break bread - I hope you understand. And, I'd take it easy on the guards - you may have been dealing with some bandits, from what I've been able to surmise... they were dealing with something substantially larger."
Ink is straining to see if there's anything on this hooded half-orc that would denote him as a friendly, besides the tone of his voice. {Perception 17}
Regarding the gap between them, he responds, "No reason to push a tree, I'm sure we can stake a rope to either side and just hand-over-hand across."
//OOC I forgot about Quill!! He scouts above relaying what he sees, as well! {Perception 18}//
//Their any trees I might be able to cut down or is there another way across?//
There a few conifer trees dotting the landscape just outside the village, about as tall as the palisade (15 feet). In theory you might be able to bridge the gap with something that long.
Rip was wondering about after his watch munching on some hard tac tack? ration from his pack and sees Marav chatting to some people and heads over, getting within hearing range as Ink is talking about why we are here and such. He dashes over as non-threateningly as possible and shouts "Hello there! we are from the Lords Alliance, and were tasked with aiding you with a goblin problem. Seems your problems have escalated since then.... would you like something to read?" Rip pulls out a couple of his graphic novels "the first issue is free!"
Solace doesn't immediately join the others feeling a little ashamed of having cause such a dust up the night before. She keeps to herself but seeing Flint say his goodbyes to Jorji she does the same before heading towards the group remaining in the background for the introductions.

Jorji asks Solace, "Would you mind lowering the drawbridge for me? I've got a long way to go, and I don't want to have to get my shoes wet by swimming across..."
Seeing everyone start to head outside, and seeing the exchange across the broken bridge, Flint starts to look for any broken timbers from the demolished buildings which might be able to span the gap.
// For the newcomers, Flint is a tall stocky dwarf with a shaved head and a full brown beard. He's got a tankard of ale in one hand as he's kicking through debris trying to find some planks long enough to get across the bridge. //
Jorji waves his hand at the offer. "I'm alright getting by with what I have. It'll just weigh me down, and I think you'll need it more than me."
Flint, being a dwarf, intrinsically understood each gemstone's value. He valued each at 100 gp—jet, transparent red tourmaline, crimson coral, and 2 amethysts. Weighing much less than the gold they were valued at, they would be handy to barter with.

Flint, being a strapping dwarf, can tell right away that he'd be able to jump the gap in the bridge easily, as long as he'd got a running start.
// Go ahead and make a Perception or Investigation check, to determine if you succeed in finding usable timber, and also how long it takes. //
// In case anyone is interested or feeling lucky, you may attempt a running leap up and across the gap in the bridge by making an Athletics check; or, if you're jumping down from the Keep side, an Acrobatics check.
Sev will come over and see what all the ruckus is. He sees the two across the bridge and looks at Flint. "We could try the jump and just go see for ourselves. That was our job after all."

"I can," Solace replies to Jorji walking with him towards the bridge before raising it behind him and returning to the group.

When Flint gets close enough, he asks those across the bridge "How fares Lady Velrosa?"
