Brick made a light grunt "got it. Rebe once he's clear you go, then Violet and then Jin and me." "Okay." Rebe agreed "Fine..." Violet muttered With a little time, the group made it down to the ledge. Area 1 - Ledge A sandy ledge overlooks a subterranean gulf of darkness to the west. The ledge is wide but rough. Sand, rocky debris, and the bones of small animals cover it. A rough-hewn stairwell zigs and zags down the side of the ledge, descending into darkness. ~~~ Brick makes it down with a grunt from the rope. "everyone okay." Violet hummed "I am fine." Rebe made a noise of agreement Jin hummed "so where to next." (don't mind the dice roll, forgot to drop the lowest) Brick hummed "I'm guessing the stairs that lead down into the darkness." Jin made a noise and went for the stairs "alright last one down is a..." Out of the nearby rubble a giant rat comes out with a loud ambushing squeal and headed right towards Jin and latch onto him with it's teeth Jin made a yelp of pain (15/18) as the rat bit him Violet made a disgusted noise "ugh, giant rat." Jin flung the oversized rodent off of him "Giant Rat wasn't what I was going for but I'll take it." The one that attacked Jin hissed at him then ran back into the nearby rubble. Violet became aware of something "Rebe watch out!" She flung a firebolt spell towards Rebe Rebe yelped as she dodged and the firebolt just missed another giant rat that had popped out to attack Rebe The rat would scurry away back into the rubble Two more Rats jumped out and attack Yopine and Zorian. The one attacking Yopine (unless she has a way to nullify the advantage it has on her, by having a 20 or higher perception roll) would bite her for 6 damage while the one attacking Zorian would miss outright bouncing off his armor Brick took up a protective stance of the girl and growled "A rat nest? Great guess we got our first encounter."

So it's seems Blackfinch has ghosted for the time being, (hasn't been on since November 9th) So I'll have his character watch the wagon for this round while the others go into the citadel.

An eyebrow goes up. Rachael could be right about it being a contract of some kind. The contents clearly hinted at it. It could be a cult, but whatever it was, the letter was straight forward and very detailed. The other eyebrow goes up. She looks up at Baron Ravenwood while she tilts her head slightly to one side. "This letter is very detailed and full of accusations. Whoever this unknown third party is, it seems to know a lot about you. Are the things in this letter true?

Yopine replied. She was in the act of stowing the hand crossbow that had just been loaded. At least she could fire it while still holding on to the rope if needed. Reloading would be tricky, but she only had the one bolt she'd been practicing with anyway. It'd be fine. "I don't get a lot of practice at climbing ropes, but I do know how to drop in unexpectedly. I'll let you know if anything kills me before I get all the way down there." The gnome didn't wait for agreement on that and moved to the rope.

Violet would examine the parchment, "hmm... judging by this writing on it, it might be, I'll keep on hand." Jin hummed "well if it is, that might prove that Sharwyn Hucrele was here at some point which should make it that we're on the right path. Now the question is how do we get down there." He hummed as he looked over the edge. "Might be able to use Feather Fall..." "I would prefer you not using that Jin." Violet muttered "last time you did, I swear you made the wind blow upward on purpose." "that wasn't me!" Jin muttered "we just caught a gust of wind on our fall and..." "and I said at that time that we are never doing that again!" Violet snapped "oh come on Violet, how else are we supposed to get down there." "Why not try a rope." Rebecca suggested "looks like that's what someone else did." Jin hummed in confusion "what do you mean Rebe." Rebecca pointed at one of the pillars and wrapped around the pillar was a sturdy knotted rope that was trailing down the side of the ravine. Brick went over and gave the rope a tug and it held quite well, "Looks like it will hold quite a bit." He stated then followed it to where it went into the ravine "and it will take us to that ledge down there which if my eyes don't trick me has some stairs that lead into the citadel." He hummed "there also appears to be some roughly made handholds in the nearby wall that suggest someone climbed up and down from that ledge to the road." Jin whistled "that sounds like an entry point to me. So who's going first?"

"Aye that it should," The coach agreed "Hrolleif! Hrolleif!" An excited male voice called out as a young man came running into the field. The expression on his face shown concern The coach looked at the young man "what is it Tor," "we just got a horn for aid, according to the sound it's one of the young hunting parties under Lord Eric, Hrolleif gained a frown "a mug of ale says they provoked a bear and it chased them up a tree." He grumbled "I'll put two mugs to that, it's Hakon's horn that's sounding." A cross look flashed across the old warrior's face "why does that whelp insist on getting into trouble." He grumbled "Go tell the chief, I'll be taking a few recruits and going out to aid his son, we should make it back by nightfall but if we don't, don't bother sending more out for us, we'll be back by noon high tomorrow" "Yes Sir."

The interesting part in all of this is the free willingness, that eager need of consent of Melaine is what sends me for an interesting loop.

"If you were to see this" Rachael adding pointing the hidden shimmering to both lord Ravenwood and Molly. "Without further investigation, I believe in theory were dealing with someone whom might possibly be part of a cult. Definitely not human in nature, the writing is to pristine and the letter itself to crisp as if needed to be specially made. My theory is that one way or another someone will want you dead and want Melanie to sign some sort of agreement. I think This shimmering could be a hidden and magical contract. Like a warlock making a pact to a fiend/Devil/Demon. This not only to take the one thing you love most but to re-establish dominion over this land to the darker days it once was. Though this is a theory and not yet a conclusion or fact. Also without Detect Magic, Identify or other theory's to reveal this shimmering our enemy is hidden in the shadow still.

A open fireplace, a lit torch in the room, even an open candle (If necessary light up a candle) and by placing it over the top of fire but not to close to burn the paper (Thee theory of placing the one ring over fire to discover elven letters on it) It could be an experimental way to see if the shimmering reveals's Itself.

Baron Ravenwood exhaled slightly "yes I still have the letter." He pulled out the letter and gave it to Rachael The letter would read as follows. ~~~ Baron Ravenwood Years ago, you were nothing but a young human with a desire to fight against the ones that you had said terrorized your home and community. You swore to fight those who put fear into people because of the power they had, you swore to eliminate them and went out to do so. For many years you slew many who you claim were of the darkness and you slew many who rose up against you to put an end to your foolhardy quest and proclaimed that their demise is righteous because they refused to heed your commands to stop their rituals and practices. You have gained much from this, and you have become prosperous and renowned taking what was once ours and now using it for your own purposes but now it is time for retribution, and the house of Ravenwood must pay. The desired payment is the hand and life of your heir Melanie Ravenwood but she must be willing to give herself to them. Failure to do so by All Hallow's Eve will break the restraints placed and they will destroy all. This land will be returned to the dark forces that ruled it before, returning it to a balance that existed before you came along and disrupted it. ~~~ (Critical investigation Check!) Upon looking at the letter, you note the crispness of the writing, suggesting it wasn't done by human hands, the blank part of the letter also seems to have a strange shimmer to it, almost as if something else is written in a hidden way, you wonder if there is a way to make what is hidden appear.

Yeah, kinda figured. Just thought I'd try something that requires some hand eye coordination for future reference. And it seems my coordination was off. *sets down my sword to rub out the pain a little bit* I'm sure it'll get better with some more practice.

Brick hummed "I think some sort of cult built the place at least that's what I heard rumored. As Yopine scouted out the area both Rebecca and Violet came out of the cart Rebecca hummed as she looked over the Ravine "wow..." Violet hummed "You really found us a good one Jin... I'm sensing a lot of magic in this place" Jin grinned "Told ya Violet, bet this place is most likely loaded with magical artifacts." "or traps." Violet countered "watch yourself Jin, or you're liable to get a spell on you or worse." Jin made a dismissive noise Rebecca hummed "this place feels weird," She knelt down and touched the ground "hmm... so strange." ~~~ Yopine as you scout around the area scrutinizing every little section of the pillars, you notice quite a bit, many campfires have been made over by them, you judge by pure natural talent that the last couple of campfires were from about two weeks ago, a closer look shows that while there was attempts to cover up the campsites, your tracking skill has locked onto the exact campsite that seems to have once hosted your targets, how did you figure that out, well you found a half burnt piece of Vellum with some writing on it, possibly a page from a spellbook or other magical tome, you guess. You also detect other stuff, on the pillars you see purposely made markings on the pillars almost like someone marked stuff on the pillar itself like a message but it's not in common. Zorian upon looking at the markings that Yopine points out you recognize that they are warnings written in goblin attempting to ward off trespassers and threaten them with all sorts of violent acts that in pleasant company you do not want to repeat.

Hasseltouch's reputation was well known and often discussed in the underworld. She didn't need to have met the man personally or worked his territory to know how bad it must have been. If there were questions regarding the more obscure aspects of his operation, she was ready to provide clarity. She also had plenty of advice on how to lay low, along with information about what her friends had been doing to help them already. That included the interception and incarceration of two contract killers with their names high up on a list of many. Likely others were prowling around. There was more hope in getting the Guild itself involved. People higher in the organization was already aware of several violations of the Guild's own charter. With the right evidence, as provided directly by her employer, Hassletouch's entire empire should be torn down with a little internal warring. He'd be replaced. She couldn't deny that. But his replacement should at least be more manageable. Yopine was also trying to get a feel for what might be hiding under Violet's makeup. Hopefully it was more for protection from the sun than covering up... Well, they were here, so no point in dwelling on the past. They had a citadel to search. "Sinkhole?" She asked, appearing at the edge of the ravine. Yopine hoped not. They were common enough underground, but pretty boring after you got past the rescue stage. Romantic images swirled around her mind filled with divine might striking the place down, or Demonweb Pits opening and taking it all down to Drider hell. Now that would be interesting.
