"That's a rather loose lead to go on, lady." Ramiel said, raising an eyebrow at Sylana. With his headache gone, the half-elf was back to his spry, cheerful self. "But sure, we'll keep an eye out for any signs of her. The world is a big place though, I don't know what the chances of her being in this particular place is."
Aug 12, 2016 9:59 pm
While Ramiel talks to Miss Vallejo, Béke politely excuses herself from the group, "I'll just be a moment" she mutters under her breath, slowly walking away. It couldn't be she tells herself, her eyes carefully examining the woman who just entered the tavern, It just couldn't be!

"We never properly thanked you for all that you did for us" she says quietly, approaching Silene from the side.

"I know it's not much of a lead, I know, but I have been searching ever since I learned of her disappearance. Her mission, whatever it was, was located in this area. I've searched everywhere I could find, you found a place I haven't found yet...so while it is a long shot like I said, I can't give up hope. Worse case scenario, you find nothing of her and we go our separate ways. Best case scenario, you find something of her, no matter how big or small, and you get paid." she smiles, her face radiating hopefulness.

At first, Silene doesn't appear to register Béke's words, but it is evident that she heard them. She tilts her head and seems to lazily turn in place until she faces the wood elf.

"Oh hey girl," Silene says in a lazy and relaxed tone flavored with casual amusement. "Like, it's not a biggie, y'know?" She shrugs and scratches the scalp under her matted hair that looks like it has naturally dreadlocked itself.

"You're out pretty far from home, yeah? Like, whatcha got goin' on?" Silene's head slowly tilts to the other side, a genuine and gentle smile turning the corners of her lips.

Izen nods to the girl. Aye, we'll hava look for ya.
Aug 13, 2016 1:29 am
Her face lights up "Oh thank you! I'll let you be on your way then." she returns to her table and continues to finish her meal. You see Béke chatting with a rather dirty woman.
Aug 13, 2016 2:19 am
Silene certainly looks dirty, but seems to emanate a perfume of rich, damp earth and abundant moss.

"You have such an odd way of speaking, my friend" Béke responds, returning Silene's smile with one of her own. Leaning against the wall near the signs she lets out a sigh, "I'm afraid I'm a bit out of my element in this place. I was merely traveling, found what I thought was an abandoned camp, and... well... somehow ended up in a cellar fighting giant rats and other... rat-like creatures. Very odd rat-like creatures at that."

"While in the cellar we also came across an odd book" she says, pushing herself away from the wall and extracting the item from her pack. She moves in close to Silene as she flips through the pages and in a quiet voice asks, "Have you ever heard of such a thing as a 'rat-bear-pig'?"
Aug 13, 2016 7:07 am
"Whoa, that sounds... pretty bad," says Silene, almost serene in light of the description. "Like, it's a rat, but a bear, and a pig? No. Way." She leans over to look at the mad scrawlings, though whether or not she fully understands the writing is not readily apparent.

"Maybe this is what they were talking about..." Silene says to herself, wistfully.
Aug 13, 2016 7:19 am
"Well, we should get going while the night is still young." Ramiel suggested, stepping over to Béke and Silene. "Rats are more active at night. Maybe we'll run into more of them."
Aug 13, 2016 12:40 pm
Still speaking quietly, Béke continues her conversation with Silene. "We've already run into some sort of odd rat-spider hybrid in the cellar" shes says, trailing off a bit as she notices Silene intently studying the sign. "Is that something you would be interested in helping us with?" she asks, tapping the sign with her finger.
Aug 13, 2016 4:55 pm
"Hm?" says Silene, momentarily distracted from her musings. "Oh, totally. Like, they said there were some weird things happening out here, but sometimes they can't say why. But the stones and the bones, they said there's some bad going on."

She turns her head a bit at Ramiel's approach. When it is apparent that the half-elf is with Béke, she lazily tips her head upward in acknowledgement and greeting. "Heya."
Aug 13, 2016 7:51 pm
Izen heads for the bar and orders another mug before joining the group. Who's this? Sorry, where be me manners... I'm Izen. He extends a thick hand towards Silene.
Aug 13, 2016 11:57 pm
Ramiel resists the urge to clean Silene's hair with magic, even though he doesn't even know if it would work anyway. Well, she doesn't smell bad, so I suppose that's a plus.

"And I am Ramiel." The half-elf said with a smile.
Aug 14, 2016 12:56 am
Gala nods at Silene and says "I shall try and keep myself between you and harm"
Aug 14, 2016 1:24 am
"Hey," Silene says, touching her hand against Izen's. Her grasp is as light as the breeze with almost no strength behind it, and her tone of voice matches in its light and calm. "Wow, you're all friends with Béke? That's good, then."
Aug 14, 2016 3:40 am
"Now that the introductions are complete, shall we continue our journey?" Ramiel said, impatient with excitement. The noblemen seemed to have forgotten all about his close brush with death just hours ago.
Aug 14, 2016 3:50 am
You guys finishes introducing while Izen finishes his ale and you make your way outside. Stars stretch across the night sky, the landscape dimly lit by the full moon. You guys make your way behind the bar, unlocking the cellar doors and descend into the cavern. You point out to Silene where the first battle happened, telling her to be on her toes down here. You follow the main tunnel before it expands into a large chamber that divides into three more tunnels heading southwest, south, and north. A subterranean stream spills into the chamber through the northeast and continues down the southern tunnel. The stream that winds its way through the complex is shallow, no more the 1/2 to 2 feet deep. The floor beneath the stream is coated with slick layers of moss and algae.

Béke, Gala, Ramiel, and Silene you all spot a satchel hidden inside a small cavity in the cave ceiling about 30 feet up.

OOC:
Going forward how would you like me to post the pictures here, by link or the image option? I will still post it by link in the maps thread just to keep it condensed down and neater looking.

OOC:
I like it this way so I don't have to click back and forth.
"How did that get up there?" Ramiel asked curiously, eyeing the satchel. "You think I can shoot it down?"
Aug 14, 2016 6:27 am
After they enter through the secret door and into the dark caverns, Silene looks up and lifts her hand as if to touch an imaginary mote of dust. She breathes a strange word and her raised hand illuminates in a ball of fire. The druid stares at her own makeshift torch with a smile, almost lost in the dancing flames before she continues on and follows the group.
OOC:
Casting Produce Flame.

I prefer actually seeing the image in-thread, but I am okay with either option.
