Othrod

Othrod will climb down and try to hide so he can't be seen, if he doesn't think that will work he will try sneaking away.

Kermut

The gnoll checks the body, looking to see if there is a wound to match the bloodstain or if the blood appears to have belonged to someone else.

Thamansa hisses at Horsefly, "Quit yer lollygaggin'!" And points down towards the interior of the tower.

Ondrake slowly moves out of the way of the light with a look of embarrassment on his distorted face - if there is such a thing for a hill giant.

Horny Carl decides to not ascend the cliff, not wanting to alert any guards to the party's presence. He heads back to the rendezvous point near the cave and tells the others that he didn't find anything useful.

Horsefly

Horsefly takes a moment to bite his thumb at Thamansa. Then he looks carefully at the balcony. Is there a way for him to drop to the floor and be hidden by the railing? IF so, he will.

Early Evening, Dark, Clear, Quiet

Othrod and Ondrake move away from the light once they realize that they could be spotted, squatting low at the base of the keep wall. The ledge they stand on runs out to the front wall and possibly beyond.

Horsefly sneers back at the female bugbear above him, still looking at the blue light emanating from the doorway of the balcony below. The goblin is quite sure that his or any other presence upon the balcony will block the shining light and cast a shadow that would be fairly obvious to see if anyone was looking.

Horny Carl decides against moving any further around the perimeter of the keep, instead moving slowly back to the teleport area. Once he returns, he finds that all of the others are off doing something else now.

Shozbot continues staring up at the closed hatch at the top of the ladder while Kermut tries to lift the dead woman's gown to check if there is a wound to match the blood. As soon as he touches the body, it suddenly grows noticeably colder in the tunnel and the unmoving form of the woman instantly disappears from sight.

Othrod

Othrod heads back to the teleport spot as sneaky as possible.

Horsefly

Lollygag dis! he hisses, then carefully climbs back up to the roof.

Can't look inna doorway without I shows I'm dere.

The goblin then grins and begins poking at the roof. Is it tiles that he might be able to move aside?

Kermut

When the dead body disappears, Kermut looks at Shozbot and asks, in Orcish,

Carl sits tight at the rendezvous spot. He begins to doubt the intelligence of the bugbear that sent him here. Considering his size, the isn't much he can offer the group on a reconnaissance mission.

Shozbot

Shozbot moves from the ladder and takes on a battle ready stance. Could be a trap or an alarm he whispers harshly in Orcish. Get behind me and keeps eyes open. he says while moving back towards the tunnel they came in from.

Ondrake examines the trench near him. If there is a smell, it doesn't seem to bother him. Is it big enough to enter the keep?

Kermut

Kermut will follow Shozbot.

Ondrake watches as Othrod passes him on the ledge, heading back to the teleport area. The giant examines the small trench of human filth at his feet, certain that none of them are small enough to access the tower through it. Back at the tunnel entrance, the bugbear and minotaur feel a slight coolness escaping from the small tunnel housing the gnoll and orc.

Horsefly climbs back up, away from the dull blue light and onto the slate roof again where Thamansa is still waiting for him. He starts poking away at the slate tiles, wondering how hard they would be to remove. He can peel a few of them up with his hands, revealing a thin wooden deck below them.

Inside of the narrow tunnel, Kermut and Shozbot don't seem too alarmed by the sudden change in temperature or the disappearing body. They move away from the shit covered ladder, back towards the opening into the cliff wall outside. They begin to hear a soft whispering in their minds that doesn't seem to be coming from any particular direction. Can I get a save vs. Spells from the two of you with your next action posts, please?

Horsefly

Horsefly pulls out his dagger and uses the point to begin drilling a small hole in the wood. His intent is to make a large enough hole to peek through, and view the room below.

Kermut

Someone talking to me. Maybe dead lady not dead. The gnoll heads toward the ladder. I check where ladder go. Find dead lady, maybe. Scouting for stupid bugbears, he finishes, continuing to speak in Orcish.

Thamansa is getting antsy and frustrated, and starting to eye the other other towers, when she sees Horsefly's drill work. "Oh! Sneaky little weasel! Go on! Go on!"

Horny Carl tenses as the bugbear settles in next to him. He speaks bluntly, pointing to where he searched, Nothing on cliff edge, and it too narrow to go next to Keep. Not work risking getting caught to keep going, me thinks. What finded you? Can tower wall get smashed in? Maybe Ondrake could get us on top of wall, then take tower down. Big distraction for us and others if tower falling in.

He sniffs the air from the tunnel nervously. Was that so cold before? Colder than a cave, right?

Orthod

Whispering "I found a weak section of wall. All sorts of cracks but nothing big enough for any of us to get through, maybe we can break it down though. I also found a drainage trench, to small for anybody but a kobold but maybe the shaman will think of something."
