C.A.R.P.S.

Around 3 AM, a very loud CRASH sounds from the main room of the Inn.

*A tired looking Guthrie comes out of a side room and looks around*

*Yawn*

"Whats all da hub-ub, an loud type noises?"

Mary pokes her head out from under a blanket...

"uuuhhh....? Sylas, did you do that?"

*Pokes his head out the door with hammer and shield in hand*

"Don't you people ever sleep around here. I knew that I should have found a less populated place to sleep. Too many people just attracts trouble. What is it now?"

Where the floor of the main room used to be, there is now a very large hole. Torches in the room glint off the surface of fallen Shield Golems down below.

*Looks at the hole, looks up at Lochlain, looks back at the hole, looks back up at Lochlain, smiles and then just jumps in*

"Toooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvvvaaaaaaaaacccccccccccchhhhhhh"

"I don't like the way he kept looking at me. Almost like he expected me to follow him. Oh well, can't let him go alone I guess. He did give me this awfully nice hammer. I've never seen a golem like that before. I hope it's friendly."

*Follows Vaellar, just a little less exuberantly.*

Looks like the tunnle has been dug out again since the PCs last filled it in. But other than Vaellar, Locklainn and the Shield Golems who have now regained their feet, the immediate vicinity is empty. The tunnel extends into darkness both east and west.

Meanwhile, Silverthorn soldiers burst into the Inn above. "What's all this racket, then!?! Blimey! Lookit that hole!!!"

"Worse, Sir." A second soldier says. "That be a cave!"

"Don't much like caves, Sir." Comments a third.

"Shut your yaps!" scolds the Sergeant. "We need to get this place evacuated! EVERYONE UP AND OUT!! THIS WHOLE PLACE COULD CAVE IN AT ANY MOMENT!!!"

"

*walks out of the cell mostly asleep and yawning*

"Whats all the noise.."
*falls right in the hole*

"Augh!!!"
*thump*

"Ouch"

Now awake and up, Nicodemas begins to pack up the little bit of personal effects he has, looking to his men as they no doubt begin to do the same. Nicodemas, once packed, approaches the hole and looks down. "Vaellar?" he smirks. "Do you need a rope or do you have magical methods to get out of that hole?" He smiles again looking down it and looking over at the silverthorn guards.

*in a crumpled heap from the feet of one of the Golems*

"No. Were good."

*looking around sleepily for Vaellar*

*Vaellar comes running back from down the tunnel*

"Oh wow....you guys have got to check this out, there is a tunnel here that leads into a cave complex. We should really check this out and see who opened up this tunnel, I mean it could be like a ploy by the red tear to attack us from behind, or the molemen, or earth elementals...or...or....or...Gustav, he is an earth elemental you know, and he might be after me now *Vaellar glares at Sylas* no thanks to certain people."

"Oh...what was all that commotion I heard from up above...are we under attack??"

"No, noone is attacking us...yet. It's just the local soldiery investigating all of the noise coming from here. It sounds like they are wanting us all out of this hole. I think they may have a good idea. I don't feel like being trapped down here."

Lochlainn climbs out of the hole. Once out, he points to the shield golems and asks:

"And where did those things come from?"

*standing up dusting himself off stretching out some of the pains*

"They came from up there. *points up and out of the hole* They made the hole. When the .. whatever it was that dug this.. weakened the floor it colapased under their weight."

*watching Lochlan climb out*
"See if you can find Torvach and set up some housing with the locals. Wouldnt hurt to get one of the Army Engineers over here to see how safe this place really is."

*turning to Vaellar*
"Ok my fearsome and heroic protector. Lead the way."

"I'll see what I can do. How hard can it be to find Torvach? He's huge. But, all the same, anybody know where I should check first?"

*Heads off to gather his things and search for Torvach and/or an Army Engineer*
