Clutching it's pouch possessively it pauses thinking Perhaps . . . If you help much I give small thing
OOC:
FYI though this is a high fantasy seeing persistent magic items are rare and expensive. Potions and small charms with 1 to 3 minor uses are more common. Roll a Test to persuade them now or later after proving your worth. Your efforts and their results will affect how the roll is interpreted and you can only do it once for this.

"Yes, I will help you. Can you give me some info? Like is this thief animal or humanoid? Maybe a general direction they come from?"

I am unsure. My things are gone and the area is disturbed?
May 17, 2024 8:59 pm
"May I go in and check around your cavern to look for clues?"

Looking at the cave mouth reluctantly before patting their pouch reassuringly they nod
OOC:
As players and GM do not always have time/opportunity to back and forth like we have today you can compress most of these posts into a single one with expressed intent and I/GM will let you know when the situation diverges too much from your desires/expectations

You are welcome to break it down if you wish to role play it all but I have seen this draw out conversations over weeks

I will enter the cave and have a look around for clues.
OOC:
There are more then one? I got you about the posts.

Before entering you scan the dirt around the cave entrance but other than the feystag prints you see nothing. The cavern is low and you almost have to crawl as it winds more than 15 feet back before opening up. Just before you lose the ability to see you hear a muttered word and a small glowing orb flies over your shoulder to illuminate the are ahead of you. Standing up you see that the cavern has a mix of stone and packed earth with roots for walls and floor with the ceiling being almost entirely roots that criss cross each other.

The feystag steps up beside you and with a flick of its wand sends the glowing orb into a side chamber. In there I keep things Moving in you see that this room is very organized with roots and flat stones making many alcoves of various sizes.

Give me a roll and let me know what things you are looking for

"Thank you for the light it will be most helpful. Do you have a name?"

I will be looking for and different tracks, digging in the dirt, any kind of openings.

Calygraunts

Yes. Call me Calygraunts . You get the impression that is not its name

As you look around you find several places that look odd. One spot looks to have been dug at(?) repeatedly with claws though not deeply and there are patches of a sticky substance. The scratches are on the top of an alcove and the sticky trail, now littered with dust and bits of grass and leaves blown into the cavern, meanders along the walls. Following it you do find a partial print in the packed earth that does not match that of the feystag. the print is vaguely humanoid but has claws and is the size of small childs foot.

"Well nice to meet you Calygraunts, do you have any idea as to what this foot print might be? Be careful not to disturb it. Any idea what this slime is?"

I will search around everywhere for more of these prints inside and out. Are these possibly prints from the one trying to stay on the rocks earlier? I will also break off a stick or part of root and get some of the slime on the end of it look at it and smell it.

Calygraunts

Demon or Unseelie? it replies with a look of trepidation. You track? Help get my things. Make thief stop. it is obviously anxious about this but you can also tell is is uncomfortable with you in its den as it keep edging around you to be between you and just about everything but the exit.

As you look around you find traces of another print, on a section of the sticky slime trail on the wall. Thinking back you recall seeing the Calygraunts larger tracks but as you were not in the gorge you may have missed something/
May 18, 2024 3:58 pm
"I will track, no worries."

I will go back out scout around the area for the new print and track from there. If no track found I will backtrack my trail here looking for said print and track from there.

No other tracks are found inside but you are able to have the slime to just outside the cave mouth. There the trail dies. Expanding the search in the grotto and beyond you find a faint and small path leading to the edge of the grotto across from the cave. The trail is odd in that anytime there is a clear area you lose it but find it a bit further on.

rolla standard test, 2d6, to see how well you are able to track
