// With the threat of death it'd be more Intimidation, but that roll will suffice all the same. //
The goblin nods hastily, "Okay, okay, yes boss, you're the boss! Beedo's treasure is there. And we can split Vark's treasure too? Since he's not going to use it."
Beedo opened the sacks and began lining up the "loot"—incense, silver a holy symbol shaped like a unicorn's head, and plenty of personal effects that obviously belonged to the priest or priestess here. Vark's sack, likewise, contained stolen items, including three emptied holy water vials and an unlocked wooden "poor box" that had a handful of copper and silver pieces in it, given as alms for the poor.

"My name is Solace," Solace replies. "We can find your brother but first I need to find the rest of my party," she explains. "You can come with me or stay hidden. I think they might have run into a little trouble but so far that died goblin and hte one I killed are the only ones I've seen! We put some worgs down when we arrived but I haven't seen a single giant either," she explains. "Did you get a look at them? Do you know what kind they are," she asks looking Kella over and seeing if there is anything she can do for her injury. Medicine 8

"I think we should keep most of this and give it back when we find it's rightful owners guys. As for you Beedo, you shall hence forth be Beedo Bookbane, my loyal assistant! If you behave we will treat you very nicely. Best not to think about what happens if you don't eh? Now, what can you tell us about what happened here... Flint you can stop with the bell now!"

I think they might have run into a little trouble but so far that died goblin and hte one I killed are the only ones I've seen! We put some worgs down when we arrived but I haven't seen a single giant either," she explains.
"You killed the worgs? I'm...impressed. That must be what I heard outside in the town square, the yelping and growling."
"Did you get a look at them? Do you know what kind they are," she asks looking Kella over and seeing if there is anything she can do for her injury. Medicine 9
"I'm fine," Kella says, wincing and drawing back at Solace's touch. "I could use some food and water, though. I feel like I haven't eaten in days. As for the giants, I didn't get a good look, but we all saw the castle float over the village on a cloud...so, I'm guessing, cloud giants? And...that's when the rocks started falling like oversized hailstones. It was mayhem, everyone panicked and rushed for the drawbridge. Then the next thing I knew, I woke up here next to that fallen rock, and that damned bell was ringing. Like I said, I feel pretty lucky, all things considered."
Kella will follow Solace as she goes to look for the others, and the bell in the temple steeple once again begins to gong and resound. Kella moans, "Ugh, not again! That infernal bell!"
"I think we should keep most of this and give it back when we find it's rightful owners guys. As for you Beedo, you shall hence forth be Beedo Bookbane, my loyal assistant! If you behave we will treat you very nicely. Best not to think about what happens if you don't eh? Now, what can you tell us about what happened here... Flint you can stop with the bell now!"
"You got it, boss!" Beedo said, grabbing the incense and empty vials, stuffing them into his sack, before recounting his tale.
"Hark told everybody to go here and said to take everything because no one would be here. Uh...we came in through the gate, because it was open. And then no one was here! Just like Hark said! Well there was that dog, but the worgs got him. Then we explored some houses...and towers...and Beedo and Vark looked out the towers and saw that big bell. So then we came in here and there was treasure! And a rope for the bell! So we danced and rang the bell, and then you came in and killed Vark and let Beedo have some treasure."
"What the infernal talk," Solace jokes with a toothy grin glancing up at her horns with a smirk. "Here," she'll hand Kella some rations and her waterskin. "Are you staying here or are you coming with me," she then asks again.

"Sorry," Kella smiles, embarrassed. She accepts to food and begins to wolf down the rations. "Ffanks," she says with her mouth full. "I'll come wiff you."
"I think we should keep most of this and give it back when we find it's rightful owners guys.....Flint you can stop with the bell now!"
"Think lad. I stop ringin' me bell an every goblin here'll stop an think "why'd that bell stop?" Then they'll come lookin' ta find out. I'm up fer a fight but Solace is out there somewhere by 'erself. Ain't gonna bring the whole tribe down on 'er. Naw, I'll ring this bell till we're all together an ready fer a fight.
"As fer them sacred items, they ain't fallin' in no goblin hands! Now someone get me shield."
"hmm, where is "Hark" at now? I have some questions for him, my new friend."
Beedo smiles at the words, then sinks again in contemplation. "Hark is at home. Umm...in the cave. But I don't think Hark would like to talk to you, boss."
Seviari looks at Rip and asks "Can you see if Beedo knows how many other goblins there are in town? We may need to forget about the bell and try to get out of here while we still can." He then shrugs and looks at the rest of the group. "Or we can scrounge around town and see if we can find anything valuable that got left behind. I know that personally my coin pouch is a little light."
