OOC The only guards still standing at the start of the turn are the two new ones.
IC Lukas moves forward and has his sword attack bounce off one of the guards armor. Quin follows up with a crossbow bolt to the chest of the man, while Davril finishes him off with his eldritch blast. The second guard is done in by a combination of Balthazar's firebolt, Quillers crossbow bolt, and Lorgar's sacred flame.
All appears to be quiet in front of the cave, with four dead bodies scattered around the mouth of the cave.
"Search them. Any insignias on them? They probably have some coin - whose? Any markings that might help shed light on who paid them? Any maps or letters they might have on them?" Lorgar does not wait idly by as he attempts to direct the group, but instead goes on to searchover the nearest corpse himself.
"Lukas, please take point and keep an eye out for more of them." *Lorgar noticed the mans serious approach to life, and has more faith in him than some other members of the group to not succumb to the maddening lust for gold.*
With a glutinous gleam in his eyes, Quiller will ‘assist’ in looting the corpses of the guards; keeping an eye out for any interesting bits of ‘intelligence’ that might fall out of pockets, were tucked up a sleeve and so forth.

“Don’t seem t’ be much of interest on this lot,” he grinned. “Maybe the next meatbags’ll have the decency t’ succumb with a load of jewels,” he said, drawing out the word jewels teasingly.
"Hey Lorgar, How about I take a little peek inside the cave? I move a lot quieter than the rest of you, some exceptions of course." says Quin with a nod to Quiller. "Lukas can back me up from a short distance back and relay messages. Maybe I can find them in case they've set up an ambush. I won't go far but a short scout might be a benefit not to mention I can disarm any traps they might have set. What do you think?" says Quin as he eyes the cave opening.
In searching the bodies, neither Quiller nor Lorgar find anything on the bodies, no coins, no gems, no papers. Nothing to indicate why they are here, and no indication that anyone hired them to be there.
When Lukas and Davril move to the entrance to the cave, they notice that there is a 20 foot long passage, which then appears to open up into a large cavern. From where they are standing, torches appear to be lit in that cavern.
Quin is able to creep up to the edge of the larger cavern. Without moving out into the light, it appears that this area serves as a campsite for a number of individuals. Several bedrolls can be seen around the edges of the cavern. The rogue is able to see a passage exiting the cavern on the wall opposite from the side where Quin is hiding. In the portions of the cavern that Quin can see while hiding in the shadows, there is no one visible. He does not hear any sounds coming from the cavern.
Quin returns to tell the group what he saw. When informed that nothing was found he says, "Hmm, should probably try to keep one of the next ones alive. Though I doubt it's a coincidence they're here at the same time as us we might want to confirm some intentions with the next lot. Speaking of which we should probably get after them just in case their is another way out." He heads back to the edge of the cavern.
"How can four armed men have not even a single coin between them?? I don't like this, but Quin is right - time.might be of the essence. After we have searched the place we can take the camp apart looking for clues." *Lorgar simply follows Quinn after he is done with his rambling, carefull to stay far enough away from the rogue to not give away his position with the clanking of scale armour.*
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Quin cautiously crosses the cavern to the other entrance. He listens intently to see if he can hear any noises down the tunnel. As the others search he stands as sentry.
Davril will continue forward, sending another blast of energy at one of the new guards.
Eldritch Blast Attack: 15 Damage: 9
Balthazar summons another mote of fire and launches it at the second new guard!
Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Lorgar casts Sacred Flame again on the nearest guard that is alive and awake. Moves forward id needed to be in range.

Quiller will move forward swiftly and shoot the guard with his hand-crossbow when the range drops to about 30 feet.
Attack: 17 Damage: 7

OOC What skill to search the corpses? Perception?

"understood. taking position."
Lukas sheathes his sword, puts his shield on his back and readies his crossbow, wary eye looking.
(Overwatch. Aye-aye.)
Davril moves up to the caves entrance to lend his magically enhanced vision to help keep watch inside. (Devil's Sight invocation.)

"Take care and don't go too far out alone. And pocket this pebble if you end up needing light." Lorgar casts Light yet again on a small stone.
lukas follows, but keeps distance with regards to quin.
Davril stays at the entrance, ready to move in or fall back, depending on what they find.
