Upon seeing this, Yuuka lets out a small “eep!” and scampers over to Esmeralda to tug on the half-drow's pant leg. “Um, Essie!” She says in a rather audible whisper-voice, “There's things, over there in the forest! Gobbielyns!” She waves her arms around frantically, obviously in a tizzy. “They had stabby sticks! Or something...” Yuuka held her quarterstaff to her chest, looking out into the forest where she saw them heading.

[MonstrousMan]

The goblins continue to the edge of the forest and then appear to jump into a rock and disappear. The rock is just across the road from the saw mill and is surrounded by upturned dirt and pebbles. One after the other they jump onto this rock, and seem to fall into a hole. Just like that they are all gone, and a few seconds afterward, a hand reaches up and pulls the rock in after them.

@Aphelion

Sol prefers action to sitting around and talking of such news.
"Goblins, that's unusual... We have to head to town immediately, make sure everyone says safe!"
Sol rushes over to the Bridge Tower full speed to inform the guards
"We have spotted goblins, warn everyone in town to be on guard!"

[MonstrousMan]

{successful sprint, successful guard find} @UnlosingRanger

Taking around 3 minutes to reach the tower, Sol reaches the towers door and bashes hard against it. Opening slowly a guard asks his business and so he tells him of the goblins.

With a startled look he disappears a moment, and reappears with two other guards, all three run into the village to spread out and patrol.

With a quick thank you, the guard is gone before he can notice he left the tower door wide open.

"I'm walking in, I wish to help."
The young man announces before walking through the tower door with his horse and closes it behind him, he doesn't want to let the guards think they are invading or anything.
"There is a chance, that goblins plan to hit the tower after the guards are distracted..."
Sol looks for a guard in the tower with some haste in case the goblin's attack making sure his presence is known from a distance and says this if he finds one.
"Sir! I know I'm young but, I wish to help in patrols. One of the guards left the door open after I warned them of goblin activity. I walked in and closed it behind me. I'll make my way back out if you don't want the help."

{ roll failure, no guard found on lower level }

Sol's helpful nature seems to be all for nought as there is no one to hear him on the lower level. But there are footsteps upstairs, a mumbled speech.

@MonstrousMan

Sol makes his way towards the mumbles and knocks on the door that no doubts leads to that area.

[MonstrousMan]

@UnlosingRanger

{Environment chance roll - 3}

As Sol knocks on the, it creaks open slowly to the upper level, an area much like the first level, circular with boxes and weapons racks, but this time a few leather sleep bags and a bed are present, the mumbling is coming from the top of the tower though the hatch in the centre of the ceiling, the hatch is open and a wooden ladder is standing on the floor propped up against the stone of the ceiling - a way up.

"Excuse me, I'm coming up."

Esmeralda sees the Goblins crouching down behind the bushes. She pulls out her blade to try to stealth up onto the goblins to kill them silently if possible. She waits for the right moment to pounce.

(Would you like me to roll and what dice?)

[MonstrousMan]

As Esmeralda approaches the place the goblins were, she pulls back the bush to stab out, to find nothing there but leaves and dirt - as well as a medium sized hole that looks to have been dug not to long ago. Maybe this is where they disappeared to?@themadhatter420

[themadhatter420]

@UnlosingRanger@Aphelion@Blackmist16

Esmeralda looked down the hole using her night vision to see how far the tunnel went down as she called out. "They escaped in this tunnel from how it seems." She said as she looked back at everyone else.

[MonstrousMan]

@themadhatter420 Ez see's that the hole goes down at a slight slope, around 5 metres deep. The path however past that point is blocked by a stone that is wedged into the dirt.

[Logeoway124]

Dulfuhil used his staff to help him get up and walk over to where Esmeralda was standing
"we could try to move the rock and go after them, stop them before they can do any damage"
He said looking down the hole, trying to think of how they could do it.

[Dark Cloud]

@Logeoway124

"That is a very likely possibility and can we traverse this safely though?"

Various inquired as he was catching his breath from all the action that just transpired.

[Logeoway124]

@Blackmist16
"it seems safe enough however we do not know how many more of them are down there"
Dulfuhil said standing up from crouching over the hole.

[themadhatter420]

@Logeoway124@Blackmist16

Ez looked at the rock trying to see if her hand could move the rock not seeing much room to budge. "Well we also don't know what else is down here...It might be too risky all to kill some goblins." She said looking around them to see if anything else is coming.

(perception check)

[MonstrousMan]

@themadhatter420

{Perception check success - noted}

As Ez looked around she notices a faint glow from a torch being lit in the sawmill, small menacing shadows paint the walls as the light flickers and the shadows move around.

Ezmeralda saw the light at the mill and instantly went silent. She pointed to the mill holding out her hand to show the group people where over there. "Shhh..." She said softly holding a finger over her mouth.
