The Dwarf trudged through the caves, muttering under his breath. "Fine time ta get separated, Barrin. Good thing that Dragon donna seem ta like Dwarven meat, or ye'd be dinner likely." He shook his head and looked around, stopping as he though he smelled unwashed humans. "Eh? Bandits be about?" He slowed and drew his bow, knocking an arrow and tried to walk as quietly as a Dwarf laden in heavy armor could, which wasn't very quiet. He finally came upon the party behind the rather large group of men and women in front of them. He looked around and saw Grumni hefting his mace. He tried to catch the other Dwarf's eye to let him know he was there and ready to fight if needed.

Rand keeps his back to his companions as more 'vagabonds' enter the room.
"Listen, I'm tired of talking to some ruffian who thought twice about taking my gold. If your in charge here, then say it so none can deny it."
*looks at the well dressed man who recently arrived*

The man smiles.

The hob does his best to make himself small and imperceptible -- slowly making his way into the closest shadows, all the while keeping his eyes and ears open for the first sign of trouble.

Grumni spotted the return of Barrin and grinned, the bandit scum were going to get more than they bargained for. He watched the smiling man with distrust, whatever he had to say the dwarf doubted it would be sincere. No matter, he'd made himself the prime target for Grumni's mace. That would wipe the smile from his face. The others seemed intent on seeing this game of cat and mouse through to the end so he held his tongue and tried to see what else was going on behind the potential bandit's spokesman.

"Well, for starters we're looking for a mage that goes by the name of Tarlech. We have unfinished business with him and would prefer if we don't have to ask twice about him."
*crosses his arms on his chest, looking very serious about not wanting to go into details*
// by the way, does anyone in this room look like the Tarlech we seen in the other cave?

At the mention of Tarlech's name, some of the bandits noticeably tense. None of the those present resemble the necromancer.
Tarlech? Um, we know of'em. What sorta business you have with him exactly?

"We borrowed his books not too long ago, and want to return them to him.
Seen him around lately?"

Books, eh? Welp, you may have to hang on to them for awhile; haven't seen him around for a week or more now - wouldn't you say?
Turns and looks around to some of the others, who nod in assent.
But I thought you wanted to hire some diggers?
puzzled look

Grumni raised an eyebrow at their admission to knowing Tarlech. Surely they would be walking dead by now if they had crossed paths with that one. This situation stank worse than a goblin's armpit and the dwarf would be damned if he was going to spend much longer sniffing it.

Barrin watched the humans tense at the necromancer's name. Och. I be thinkin these raggedy 'umans be more than what they be saying they be, he thought to himself. Judging the distance between him an the nearest human, he sheathed his bow and unslung his ax, watching Grumni to see if the later was preparing to attack.

The party of joyful adventures was now in a cave or shall we say yet another cave talking to a group of people about "things" so to speak.
Little Pumpkin had to move slightly to the left (anticipating what could be serious trouble) under the protection of the mini wolf pack. He also had under his coat a small bag of gnomish sand the type that could presumably be used to put anyone to sleep would things turn ugly shall we say.
He was thinking that he should take the time to complete a bestiary of the area that perhaps could be sold. For instance under the letter "B" he should add Bugbears right after Bulette and so on. Also he was thinking about how difficult his life was sometimes. The "biz-ness" (gnomish slang for occupation) of keeping everything well balance was not an easy task. Trying to convince a group of monks that trees should not be planted in perfect lines but instead things should grow by themselves at their own pace was a near impossible task...

Hearing weapons banging around behind him, Rand gets the feeling this conversation is going South. And quick.
"Listen, I don't want no diggers from the likes of you. I don't think any of ye can dig your way out of a mud hole."

The priest listen the conversation, not too sure about the idea of hiring men to do the digging, not because he wants to do it, he doesn’t, but because he doesn’t trust these buggers, they not only smell bad, they do look bad. However, if that is the decision of the group he will go along… of course, at the minor suspicious gladly will stab one or two of them, in the end they could all fight.
Raising his eyebrow glances towards Rand as he speak about that mage, until now the priest is unsure of what is this group business with such man, even more, who is this man. No matter, he is ready to aid them, assuming it is a good deed. What doesn’t see like a good deed is this bunch of tugs, which apparently tensed with the mere name of Tarlec. Was that the name? In any case, as mirror to the thugs his hand grips the hilt of his scimitar, ready to what ever might come, the same time that noticing that the missing dwarf is back. Oh yes, now they are all there.

So that’s it, the end of the conversation. No matter where it takes, he readies to fight, glancing around to count the numbers of the thugs, but still with his weapon sheathed.

At this point, there are well over two dozen folks in assorted armor and with various weapons deployed in a half crescent before the party. A number of archers are spread out in the rear with those armed with melee weapons deployed protectively ahead of them. At least a couple of men wear some sorta holy symbols rather prominently displayed.

Noting the prominent display of the religious symbols, the hob tries to determine which deity these "wanderers" are paying homage to.

The hobbit does not recognize the symbols, but the designs don't look too benign.

Grumni spat. It didn't take much to guess the holy symbols were going to mean trouble. The archers were the final straw, this was going to end in a scrap alright. The dwarf whispered a prayer to Moradin and prepared to attack.

Eli uttered some words of warning.
"Beware of strangers bearing gifts and that applies to them as well as us."

*chuckles aloud before addressing the 'fancy' man*
"If you think we brought gifts, then you must be a smith.
'Cause all I brought
