[hider=Aurora's Investigation Result]Aurora investigates the cage and easily finds the lock. Her thought about picking the lock with thieves' tools being the easier option to get out is correct. Unfortunately, those bandits took them...

She notices that the key she got from Telemy Hill wouldn't work on this cage. But with her Investigation, she does get the sense that while the key wouldn't help with the cages, it does seem like the key does go to [I]something[/I] in that cottage. Call it a hunch...[/hider]

"[color=fff79a]It's nice to meet you, Jub![/color]" Vansel greeted after Jub gave his name. He shrugs at his question and answered his question, "[color=fff79a]I'd say about...ten hours or so?[/color]"

While Brutrumukk gets to work on bending the bars, Vansel gets into the story of how he got captured, 

"[color=fff79a]I was simply bathing in a river, and the bandits took my clothes! I chased after them to get them back, but they caught me with a net and knocked me unconscious. And now...here we are! Right at Bavlorna's Cottage! This will be quite a story when we get out of here![/color]" 

After Vansel finished speaking, the iron bars creak as Brutrumukk successfully bends them to let himself and Aurora out.

However, there are still two more cages: Gabriel and Aurora's Cage, and Jub and Vansel's Cage.
