OOC: Sorry for the inattention
IC: Nars tenses, but does not move as the cage begins to come into view. If he thinks can slip back to his companions unnoticed, he will and report on the approaching two figures in the cage. If he thinks he would be seen, he holds still and tries to make out more about the figures.

Nars is pretty sure that he is stealthy enough to retreat before the two creatures can spot him. He makes it back up the slope to where the others are waiting back around the corner in the dark.
ooc: is anyone carrying light down here? I'd assume not Nars as he crept forward but I'm going to assume that while he was sneaking ahead whomever had 'light' cast covered that for his sneakiness.

Ridik wait calmly. As Nars manifets himself as being there, Ridik is a bit surprised to not have heard him at all... but at teh same time, it is one great quality of a scout. Barely hearing his whisped report, Ridik tells with a low voice. "Why would they hide? Do they think invaders are coming in or they are escaping people trying to run away from there captor?"
OOC: Ridik is now apporved for level 6th and is on his way to get approved on his 7th level. And he is at 1 XP of his 8th... damned a big battle make a character level fast.

"Two creatures in cages, trying to hide? How weird. Well, nothing for it. We must go on. I'll cast 'light' on a rock, and right before we enter, you throw it at them, Nars, so we'll see them the same time they see us."
Percy will cast light on her crossbow, too, for the rest of the group to see with.

With a plan in place the adventurers stalk forward to the place Nars saw the cage rise out of the blackness beyond. With the help of Percy's spells surprise is sprung on the unsuspecting and all are able to see each other at exactly the same time. Nars and the others are surprised to find two very dirty, quite malnourished, surprised gnomes. They both shriek at the sight of the party and stumble over one another in an attempt to flee backwards towards the looming pit of darkness at the bottom of the railed ramp.

"Er, wait! We're, ah, friends of Gorefoot! Er, ah, um, Fondar!" Nars calls out as the gnomes flee.

OOC: I thought they were in cages. In any case...
IC: "Yes Wait! We've killed the goblins!" Percy is bummed that the light and noise is eliminating any chance of stealth. But the goblins have had a chance to set up their defences in any case. Percy will follow, but behind Rodimus and Nars.

ooc: the cage was a way of describing an contained elevator made of metal bars. Nars didnt get too close so that was the best description of it. Had he stuck around it would've resolved itself as more of a box with bars that opens.
The two frightened gnomes calm a bit and turn to face the adventurers. Trepidation replaces sheer terror, though they do continue moving backwards towards the safety of the apparatus. "Frondar?" one says in a small squeeky voice.
