Coaroo follows closely behind Tia and just to the right as they leave the city gates. Coaroo breaths slightly heavier then usual as his excitement grows. Tia had been to the cave they were going to before (in 'Rumor'), and this could help bring about some of the answers he longed for. If not, there was always plan B. Gripping his swords tighter, Coaroo turns to Tia. "Where to now?"

Coaroo can see Bramus approach from Tia's left, out of the forest. His hands rest carefully on the grip of his sword and axe, scanning about. He speaks quietly to the group.
"What are we looking for again? Not that I don't mind wandering about, but I like to know what I may be running into, literally..."

Coaroo smiles at Bramus. "We're going to find a great liche-like undead, with any luck, and leave him a message. If our luck fails, we'll at least be able to destroy a few undead on the way out. The thing we're looking for was able to see what's wrong with me, and we intend to find out what that is."

"We're doing something stupid." Coaroo laughs. "You're pretty quick, but I should let you know, we're going to a place with lots of undead and at least one very strong liche. I had told you about it a bit. We're going to try to leave him a message for him. If you really want to come you can, but I suggest you be carefull... Though you may be very useful in watching out backs if we end up entering any into the cave..."

"Very big undead with minions, sneaking in, leaving note, may help my problem, running if anything goes bad, so don't be the slowest, any questions?" Coaroo smiles.

looking around at the comment and a little disgruntled
"Well if thats the case I think Bramas may be the slowest or me. I mean we have elf who are usually fast especially in the forest, then we have fox another one adept at losing things that are chasing them, and a cheetah who is very fast in small bursts."

"As I understand it from Tia, the cave entrance is not guarded, but many are just inside the cave. The plan is to sneak in the entrance, get an accurate number of undead if possible, and see if any show intellect. The intent is to leave a message for them, one way or another. If all goes well, I'll give one with intellect this note." Coaroo pats one of his bags. "If it goes bad, this one." Coaroo adjusts his cape to show a dagger set behind him that has a note stabbed almost up to the hilt.
"As I started to say before this is to help with my problem that I have shown some symptoms of before. The liche in this cave knows what's happening with me, so the message being sent is for him to tell me what he knows. Any more questions?"

Okay, quick skill check then. Bramus and I are capable fighters, Tia is a sword and shield fighter. Hellish and Kale are Celestial casters, right?. So let's take quick account of skills available. The fighters I know, but what is your magic circles?" He asks Kale and Hellish. "Once we have that we'll work out the final plan and be set."

"We are both formal capable in the Celestial school Hellish a lot more so then I, I only have one of the 9th circle but I have a few small pick me ups in Earth and one in Harmonics but not much else, for me anyway."

"Alright, sounds good. Let's gather together for the final planning." As soon as everyone is stopped and are all gathered together, Coaroo lays out the plan.
"Assuming that what has been said is true, and Bramus is the slowest here after armor, then I think he should be on the outside in case something comes from behind. I believe Kale should back him up and act as a go between. If anything goes wrong on either end, he'll be the one to alert the rest."
"Tia will take left flank inside the cave with her shield, since she's most familiar with this cave, and I'll take middle. We'll stay close to the right wall to help keep us concealed and protect our right flank. Hellish will watch for anything unusual and act as our backup."
"Does that sound good to everyone, or does anyone have any other ideas?"

"Before we get started make sure everyone has some kind of healing potion that is properly labled and easy to find. I have no healing potions and I can cast 3 spells that will pick someone up but not for long."

"Kale, as go between you will be first to know who may need help, so it makes sense for you being the only one here with earth magic. I have a few potions I can use if needed, and I'll give one to bramus and Hellish."
Coaroo takes out two potions from his bag. Handing them to Hellish and Bramus, he says, "They're cure serious wounds, so use them well."
Turning to Tia, he concludes, "I have a few pick me ups and a delayed endow just in case for us. Front left pocket if I fall." Coaroo pats the pocket. "Anything else?"

As the group travelled, they approached and quickly began to traverse the mountain range to the southwest of the city. In time they followed the same wide path as Tia once had and found the solitary road that lead to the cave she once had begun to explore.
Outside of the cave were several large spaces of scorched earth, and the ashes of goblins and goblinoids to accompany them. All other signs around the cave in the bright daytime sun would seem to indicate there was nothing and no one else around.

Coaroo Looks over his shoulder as they approach, and reminds all to remain as quiet as possible, and asks again if anyone had any last minuit suggestions, comments, or concerns.

"It sounds like as good a plan as any...'cept, this cave is literally crawling with undead. Imagine maggots feasting on decaying flesh, to the point it almost seems to still be living, and you will understand what I mean."
She pulls her blade out and crouches near him, staying close.
"I suggest that we do this as sneaky as possible, Coaroo. Maybe keep everyone hidden and only you and I go inside. The others will stay safe here and watch. If we get into trouble, we can always run."

Coaroo asks. "Did you see how far in the cave went? Most of the time the undead with intellect stay further back in these kinds of caves, and I wanted to get the message as close to them as I can." Coaroo starts walking forward.
Turning his head back, he addresses the rest of the group. "If you see anything wrong, or hear an excessive amount of noise, come quickly. Same plan applies but Kale and Hellish will both be go betweens if either group has problems. Good?"
