Elhon rolled his eyes and struck out at the man with the pommel of his daggers. He figured if this guy were unconscious, it wouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
{OOC: Striking for nonlethal damage here, naturally, called shot to the head}

(OOC: Wow you almost missed.) The man dropped straight to the floor, his head bouncing off the stone as he did. From his new position in the room Elhon could see a 3ft by 3ft hole filling most of the right side the room, with a ladder poking out of the nearest side, It's depth was impossible to determine as the light of the room only illuminated the first 20ft.

Elhon relit the lantern he had stolen before and made to climb down the hole.

The ladder continued down for about 30ft, stopping at a platform built into the side of the hole, another ladder was attached below the platform. The hole continued down in the same manner, with numerous platforms, Elhon had lost track of how long he'd been climbing when he reached the bottom. The hole dropped into a large cavern filled with Chests, pots, and a few other storage containers, the chests were all open. The only entrance to the cavern was a tunnel at one end with torches either side of it.

Elhon checked to see if there was anything interesting in the containers, while trying to his bearings and work out which direction the tunnel was facing, though he was down far enough it was seeming less likely to be an attempt to tunnel into another building. He was really hoping his earlier lie about the Deep Roads wasn't inadvertently the truth. Especially as it might have meant he had just killed a Warden. If he had killed a Warden, he was going to have to flee the country. Again. And he didn't especially want to go to the Free Marches.

The tunnel lead in the direction of the old man's house Elhon had been to previously, The containers were almost entirely empty, this room seemed to have been picked clean of valuables as well as almost anything Elhon could think of a conceivable use for.

Elhon started to head down the tunnel, wanting to see just how far it went.

The tunnel extended roughly 100 yards and then turned left. As Elhon approached the corner raised voices could be heard. "Come on lets get out of here!" "We need to make sure they find it, if you're scared run away, if you don't mind blacklisting your little band." "They'll find it eventually, surely we want to use the time that takes to get well out of the way." "You know those weren't the instructions, now shut up or get out."

Elhon froze, for a moment, as it sounded like his job of investigating was about to draw to a close, and that there was something rather unpleasant ahead. He decided to press on down the tunnel, not seeing much he could do if he turned back now. Maybe if if he found out what this was all about, he could stop whatever bad thing was going to happen before it happened and get some sort of cash reward.

As Elhon rounded the corner he could see the two speakers a good 30ft down the tunnel, they had their backs to him, one had armour similar to that of the men upstairs, he was fidgeting clearly nervous, the other had armour like the woman's. They seemed to be looking out into a larger chamber, but this one looked like a natural cavern, unlike the previous parts he'd seen which had at least some work done to them, if they weren't entirely dug out. upon closer inspection, the opening they were stood in had a metal outline with dwarven looking markings and a stone block built into the wall just before it. "If we're pulling one of the ladders up with us, how are they going to get out?" said the nervous man. "They're not completely animalisistic, they make weapons for themselves they can certainly work out some way to make it up a few feet." replied the other.

Elhon pulled out his bow and took careful aim at the woman.

(OOC: they're both men but I assume you mean the one with similar armour to the woman.) The arrow soared through the air an hit the man's shoulder, he cried out and turned to look behind him. "**** get to cover." Both men moved to the sides of the tunnel using the opening as cover. "Who the **** are you?!" The other man shouted.

(OOC: Oops, my bad)
Elhon took cover behind the corner of the tunnel and readied another shot, looking to see if the men had left any part of themselves exposed.

(OOC: Combat order, Nervous guy, Wounded guy, Elhon.) "Go on get him, what did we pay you for." shouted the injured man, there was a crack as he snapped the shaft of the arrow off. The other man took the hint and charged down the tunnel two handed sword ready.

Elhon loosed an arrow at the nervous recruit's legs as the recruit charged through the tunnel.

(OOC: I'm assuming you mean nervous man, wounded man is on the other side of the room, at least a turn away.) One dagger was knocked aside by the man's greatsword, the other got past his gaurd, only to glance harmlessly off his leather armour. The man pressed his advantage and swung blindly at Elhon, the blade knocked Elhon back stunning him. The wounded man seemed to have gotten himself to his feet, he drew his bow and fired, his aim was clearly off though, his arrow lodged itself in his partners leg, the man let out a cry and fell to his knee. (OOC: Ok you just got the to most contrasting halves of a round I ever seen in terms of luck. Both you and nervous guy are shaken and he's taken a wound. Combat order Elhon Joker, nervous guy, wounded guy. spirit roll passed with a raise.)

Elhon let out an impressive stream of Orlesian cursing as he got back to his feet, swinging the flats of his blades at his opponent.
