Pocketing the coins but holding up the key and the pouch of pemmican, Brannik nods for Gemma to step over. "Boss?" she asks, quietly.
"Toss this meat in and check the lock with this key. I'll stand guard," the Bull commands her.
"On it." She takes them and steps over, taking out the strips of meat and gently sliding them under the grates. "Nice doggies," Gemma says in a sweet tone, trying for a moment at the lock, seeing if the key works, but not actually opening the grate door.
With the bandit dead, Kass proceeds forward with the others, shocked to see caged wolves at the end of the branch. As Gemma begins to unlock the grate, Kass says, "Are you sure about that? They don't seem too friendly."
"Just narrowing down what this key does," Gemma replies to Kass as she works. "Don't worry, I'm not letting them out."
"We're not leaving them here, though," Brannik makes known. "If we clear these idiot Whisperers out, then the wolves starve. The dogs may not be friendly, but they don't deserve that end."
"I agree," Adrian says, not wanting to see such innocent (if deadly) animals left to die in such a place. Stepping over the corpse of the recently-slain man, he tries to open the chest that his victim had been messing with.
As Gemma tries the key, the lock clicks, unlocking the grate. The wolves, however, pay no notice. Distracted by the new source of food provided by Gemma, their growls quickly subsiding.
Meanwhile Adrian finds the chest unlocked. Searching the chest he finds a couple more bags of pemmican, along with a large pile of rags and a few other miscellaneous mundane items.
Go: Wes, Brannik, Chloe
"Well, looks like we've got a job to do before we leave this place, hm?" Brannik mentions as he notices the lock disengage at Gemma's trying of the key. "Let's get to finding the rest of these Whispering Cowards." Moving back to the central part of the cavern, the dwarf begins to investigate the paths more thoroughly.
With nothing more of interest apparent in this branch, Wes follows the dwarf back to the main path. Here's hoping there aren't any more surprises like this, he thinks, glancing back towards the wolf cage.
Seeing the wolves calmed and no further paths in this direction, Chloë follows after Wes and Brannik back towards the entrance, keeping a safe distance behind them. Adrian continues to dig through the chest for a moment, deciding whether or not any of the contents are worth taking.
As Brannik, Wes and Chloe head back into the tunnels, away from the wolf cage, the wolves finish wolfing down the last of the pemmican Gemma had tossed into their enclosure. All of them now look to Gemma and a couple let out a soft whine.
Go: Kass, Adrian, Gemma
Adrian grabs the rest of the pemmican and tosses it in his pack, along with the two cleanest rags. He picks the apple up and takes a bit from it before making his way back down the tunnel. He moves past Chloë and Wes, stepping up next to Brannik. "You take left, I will go forward," he whispers to the dwarf, before stepping past him a little further into the cave.
OOC: If Adrian doesn't see any enemies at the end of his movement he will inspect the barrels.
Trusting that Gemma has the wolf situation under control, Kass begins her return down the tunnel towards the others.
"We'll come back for them," Gemma explains regarding the wolves as she steps back toward the main path.
Continuing down the tunnel, Wes notices yet another side branch, and steps towards it to investigate. I guess it wouldn't make sense for a cave to only have one tunnel, but this is still really too much.
Stepping alongside Adrian, the dwarf checks one of the other passages.
Chloë follows after Adrian and Brannik, keeping a safe distance in case anyone were to attack. She watches as Wes ventures alone down another path. It is unwise to split apart in this place.
As Brannik turns the corner to make his way down the pasage, he finds it to simply be an alcove previously obscured in the darkness. As Wes looks down the another of the tunnels he can see the stacks of fire wood that Gemma saw, along with a stool and a bucket on the ground further into the tunnel.
Go: Everyone (or this will take forever)
Adrian and Chloë continue down the path as Brannik's torch reveals the dead end. As always, Chloë keeps a safe distance behind her lover, not one for close range combat.
Brannik and Gemma, weapons at the ready, step alongside Adrian, listening and watching for any signs of danger.
With the other splitting off into their own tunnel, Wes decides to continue along his own path, with his cousin soon stepping beside him. Together, they stop short of another intersection and peer around the corner for signs of danger.
Wes and Kass spot two bandits as they make their way through the tunnels. One much further down the tunnel, sat on a stool reading a book and the other near to them working in what appears to be a store room. Both are too engrossed in what they are doing to notice the two cousins.
Go: Everyone
With the pair of bandits spotted ahead of them, the duo of cousins decides it's best to take them out. Kass rushes ahead first, drawing her sword and striking at the further bandit. Wes follows suit, but instead focuses on the bandit in the little alcove.
Seeing his two allies take care of the bandits nearby, Brannik motions for Gemma to follow along as he advances forward through the cave.
Seeing little need to explore the room Kass is in, and unable to see the one Wes is in, Adrian pushes on with Brannik and Gemma. Chloë stays close by as well, not wanting to be caught alone.
The target of Kass' charge notices her approach, however it is too late and she is on him before he can even stand. She drives her sword through the man, sending him backwards falling to the ground, noticing his trousers are pulled down. He knocks over one of two buckets, splashing human excrement everywhere, including Kass, clearly this part of the cave is used by the bandits for reliving themselves.
Meanwhile, Wes charges the other bandit who hears him coming and is quicker to react. He manages to quickly draw his sword and block Wes' attack, the clash of steel on steel ringing around the nearby tunnels. However Wes is clearly the superior swordsman and breaks the man's block before cutting him down.
The others continue deeper into the cave.
Go: Everyone
Not hearing anymore commotion in the rooms Wes and Kas rushed into, Adrian assumes all is well and presses onward. He makes his way down the tunnel to what seems to be a split, Chloë following at a distance.
Taking Adrian's initiative, the pair of Hollowguards follow alongside.
Disgusting... Kass thinks as the excrement splatters all over the vicinity, including her. With nothing of interest before her, she returns to the main tunnel to join the rest of the group. Meanwhile, Wes examines the room he's discovered, hoping to find any interesting loot.
"I think it would be wise to turn back for the moment," Adrian whispers to the others, once the bridge comes into view. "Best to check up top first, rather than be caught below with enemies above us."
"Many battles can be won vertically," Brannik reasons, agreeing with the Gleiosian. Gemma gives the dwarf a nod and follows after him, returning to where the mouth of the stone bridge was seen.
Adrian nods and follows after the other two, prepared to cross the small precipice after them.
Spotting the treasure before him, Wes pockets the coin and jewelry. Returning back to the group, he says, "There's a couple nice rugs back there if anyone wants them after we take care of these scoundrels." As Kass approaches, the arcane knight holds his nose, saying, "What happened to you?" Not wishing to talk about it, Kass just rolls her eyes.
The group continues through the cave system. A short ways further into the tunnel you see light and hear the sounds of talking and laughing. Your round a corner and find yourselves standing in the entrance to a large cavern. The cavern is filled with beds, tables and campfires, along with other stockpiles of resources and plundered treasure. The cavern is also occupied by a large group of men, as a few of them notice you, their conversation dies down.
"Artin! Looks like we have some visitors," one of first men to spot you says, standing to his feet from the table he had been sat at.
"Well boys, let's show them our hospitality," another man replies, also standing up before drawing two axes from his belt. The others follow suit, drawing their own weapons. "Kill them," he orders. "Farryn, you better fucking help this time. We kept you alive for a reason," he adds pointing to an elf dressed in fine clothes.

"Hope you lot didn't start the party without us. I always hate when I'm late to these things," Wes says with a grin as they enter the bandit den. Rushing forwards, eyes set upon his two closest targets, he cleaves around him. His arcane blade glides through the air, the sheer speed and force slicing at his prey. "I'd sit this one out if I were you, Farryn," the knight shouts towards the out-of-place elf.

Wes immediately manages to cut one of the men down and hit the other. One of the more heavily armoured bandits rushes towards Wes and into the fray, however the young knight easily dodges his attack.
Another man makes his way closer to the group clustered by the cavern's entrance, however he pauses and instead of charging in he launches a dagger at Brannik. The throw is weak and the dwarf easily bats the dagger aside with his hammer.

"So we've got you fuckers to thank for the trouble on the Steppe?" Brannik growls, his heavy boots padding along the cavern floor as he engages one of the brigands.
The gravity around the dwarf shifts at his command, and the Whisper before him feels an agonizing compression of his bones and soft organs. "Give up now, and I'll let you walk," Brannik offers. "Or crawl." He smirks, landing a crushing blow from his heavy maul on the man's flank.

Kass' attack is successful in pushing the man into the fire, however manoeuvring into position leaves an opening and he man is able to strike her first, despite Brannik's best efforts at interrupting the attack.
"Don't just stand there and die. Fucking fight!" Artin shouts at the group of bandits, seeing the group of knights dispatch several men within moments.
The closest of the hooded men attacks from the side, positioning himself between Kass and Brannik, unleashing a flurry of quick short slashes and stabs. Kass manages to dodge the attacks but one of the man's daggers catches The Bull in a gap in his armour. The attack causes little more than a flesh wound but Brannik quickly begins to feel a burning sensation in his veins, emanating from the wound.
Seemingly spurred on by their leader's word, two of the other men charge into the fray, wailing on Kass who is quickly becoming surrounded.

"Stand, fight, it won't matter," Adrian says, as he rushes through the battle towards the apparent leader of the group of bandits. "The end result will be the same. Your pillaging ends here!" As he draws near he launches into a series of blows, the first of which staggering the man and allowing the Gleiosian to work the field to his advantage.
After the first, he follows up with a second, more powerful blow, leaving him feeling more powerful and invigorated. He shoves the man to the ground before leaping towards one of his lackeys, landing yet another powerful blow and shoving the brigand towards his gathered allies and their magical auras.

"Does this count as helping," the elf replies to Artin. As he mutters a few words, Brannik feels the air around him return to normal.
At the same time, the bandit pushed back by Adrian charges the Wind Dancer, managing to land a hit.
Artin doesn't reply but jumps to his feet quickly, seeing Adrian reengaged by one of the other bandits he charges into the fray instead taking a swing at the already wounded Kass, although she manages to dodge the blow.

"You lot should know it's improper to gang up on one person," Wes remarks with a grimace as he watches his cousin repeatedly take blows, surrounded on all sides. "It'd be high time someone taught you a lesson in manners, but I doubt you'll be too receptive to word. Maybe my blade can teach you."
As his says this, his arcane sword begins glowing a fiery red. With a smirk, he swipes at the trio in front of him, leaving them vulnerable to more should they take their eyes off him. Meanwhile, he rests his eyes upon Kass, looking for the opportunity to get her out of trouble.
[sblock=Mechanics]Minor: Aegis of Shielding on Brigand 4
Brigand 4 is marked, taking a -3 to attack rolls that don't include me. If these attacks should hit, the damage is reduced by 9

Damage: 2(1d10) +7 = 9
Each target is marked (-3) until EONT. Until it ends, any time they make an attack that doesn't include me as a target, they take 5 force damage. Additionally, I can interrupt and reduce their damage by 4 should the attack land.
Move: Rubicant Blade
Teleport Kass to M26, teleport Brannik to O26, and teleport Wes to O24
Ready Action: Dimensional Vortex
If anyone else (preference towards Kass if it happens) is hit with a melee attack, I interrupt this and teleport the attacker up to 5 squares. The attacker then makes this attack against the target of my choosing[/sblock]

With the enemies all bunched together, giving Gemma quite the beating, Chloë moves to act. Knowing Brannik is best at dealing with many foes at once, she sends a powerful blast of wind at the clustered men in an attempt to push them away. As they move back she steps forward and unleashes yet another powerful gust, aiming to move them in position for Brannik and Adrian to deal the finishing blows.
