Subject Flooring

The floor is not well built at all. There was a lot of squeaking and noises made when the men were in the room. The hole was only about 5-6" across, but it was located in a place where he had a good view of the room. He might be able to pry up a board or two, but it would likely make alot of noise.

He has everything on his list that he would obviously take. He might take a little water and a little food, but that is unlikely.

Subject Rescue?

Much as Surin would love to attempt a rescue, he decides that enlarging the hole would make too much noise to have much chance of going undetected. As quietly as possible he makes his way out from under the building, sneaks back through the camp, and scales the wall, intending to return to the party and relate what he saw and heard. It would seem that they have a little time, but that it is likely that in a few days time whoever hired the goblins to capture Rochelle will be here to pick her up, and will probably come intending to take her rather than pay for her, given the half orc's actions.

Subject Rescue?

OOC: My compliments on your decision. Tempting as it must have been to try it, I doubt that Rochelle is going to be in any condition to sneak out.

Oh well, looks like we get to bust the doors down :-).

Actually, I still think sneaking in the back (but maybe without the Hippogriff) will be the way to go. We have Salix open a hole for us, we make a mad dash for the hut, take out the 1/2 orc, and then boogey our way out the back. 30-40 goblins do not worry me much - remember, 15 guardsmen took out 75-100 of them when they ambushed Rochelles caravan. We will have surprise on our side, and we do not have to kill them all, just get in, kill the 1/2 orc (can I, can I, please), and then get our of dodge. They goblins will not be much problem without the big guy leading them. Of course, he might be a challenge.

Well done.

Subject Meanwhile, back at the camp

As the party waits for Surin to return, the try and keep alert. They are really too far to hear much from the encampment. They set loose perimeter and hobble the horses a little distance away. Occasionally one of the birds swoops down and makes a quick sound and heads back out. The full moon glints through the trees, casting shadows everywhere. Only Alatyr is bothered by the dark. Harp is not bothered at all by the dark. The four fighter types take up positions around the camp, while Fal and Salix settle down in the middle of the clearing where they have made this temporary camp. Ran makes the rounds of the people on watch, making sure that they are alert.

Surin has been gone about an hour. No one is really worried yet since he had told them it would likely take 3-4 hours to get the job done right. Cai is propped up against a tree and keeping an eye out to the west. As Ran approaches, she perks up, not turning to look at him. As he approaches her he thinks he sees something move in the bushes about 40 yards out. He whispers to her ?Did you see that??(Spot roll, DC21, 19+4=23, success) She nods(Spot roll, DC21, 19+10=29, success) and slowly slips her bow from her shoulder as Ran quietly draws his sword. Whatever it is, the thing is very big. Just then the moon glints off Ran's sword and the creature a large wolf like creature standing 10 feet tall, gives a loud roar and rushes the party.

OODM:Right now only Cai and Ran know something is out there. What do you two want to do?

I have attached a map of the clearing and everyones postion. The creature is about 120 feet to the west.
