Thinking for a brief moment Cole weighs the options. "I will follow your lead Drake." Cole limbers up and stows the blade he had hidden in his hand. "Miggt as well figure out what the smoke means, no?" Cole readies himself to follow drake whichever way he decides.

Drake nods to Cole and continues to scout ahead, careful to remain hidden but making sure he can get a good view of the area as he goes.

Cole,Drake With Drake leading the way, you both start to stealthily move through the boulders to see if you can see if the smoke is coming from down here. Crouched down and sticking close to the boulder, you are able to peek around the corner and spot a small campfire that is currently burning. Above the fire on a spit, there are what seems to be four prairie hens very close to finishing being cooked. Sat near the fire, four humans sit, dressed in similar cultists robes, and seem to be lightly squabbling. Their weapons and shields are stacked against a smaller boulder, about 20-feet away. You also notice a small group of about eight kobolds about 30-feet away from the group of cultists. Some of them seem to be staring intently at the campfire, as if waiting for the hens to finish being cooked. No-one notices the pair of you currently hidden near the boulder.

Drake watches the group briefly before looking to Cole, "You think we should eavesdrop for a while?" He whispers as he backs up enough to be fully covered by a boulder and wholly out of sight.

Cole is thoughtful for a moment as he considers Drakes plan. He then leans in close to Drake to whisper, "one of us should go let our friends know what we have found, no?" Cole looks back the way he came and then back to Drake, "It would be bad if our friends were impatient and alerted the camp by accident."

"Sounds good to me. I'll wait here for a while, see if I can't overhear something useful. Be careful on the way back," Drake then waits and listens to what the group are doing, taking occasion peeks round.

"try not to alert them, and if you somehow alert them just scream really loud and we may come save you." Cole smiles at Drake and gives him a wink before double backing towards the party.
As Cole reaches the party he places his index finger over his lips to indicate they must be quiet.
Cole begins to describe the scene ahead in hushed tones. " The smoke is indeed members of the cult, we counted four cultists sitting around the fire and 8 kobolds sitting about thirtt feet away from it." Cole smile widens, currently they are for the most part unarmed and unaware of the danger they face, whilst Drake is taking time to eaves drop any conversation."

"If they are unarmed, we should try and surprise them, keep one for interrogation. It might know if there is danger ahead for us. We could even learn how their camp works, since we're trying to infiltrate it" as Wilhelm gets worked up for combat he'll ask Cole "What about Drake? Are we regrouping with him up ahead? What's the plan?"

"Drakes plan was just to listen in, I thought it best one of us came back to let you know what lay ahead before you accidentally alerted them to out presence." Cole gives Wilhelm a smirk. "Any ideas?"

"Well, if there is cover for us to get in range for an ambush, which I assume there is if Drake is listening to them, I say we get up there and give them a taste of their own medicine." Turning to his allies "What do you say?" and he'll reach in his pocket for his Arcane Focus, a small orb made of semi transluscant glasslike material. As he raises it toward the sky, a spectral frost quickly covers Wilhelm arms and head then his entire body down to his feet before vanishing under the illusion of his previous spell.

"Wait a minute...who are you and where is Wilhelm." Cole looks around with a confused nervous smile for a second.

"Oh, Cole, never change" and Wilhelm starts heading toward where he thinks Drake is.

Cole watches as Wilhelm begins to trek over towards where he left Drake. A confused smile crosses his face as he looks towards the rest of the party while pointing at the new face. "Wilhelm, Right?"

“Now that is a plan that gets straight to the point.” Kavalan says with a low chuckle gripping his warhammer and shield ”I agree let’s go.”
Kavalan will follow Wilhelm in the general direction of Drake

Eko looks down towards his feet and begins turning them from side to side. "I am not quiet softskins but I will try my best." -Nahusca- Then the bird man crouches down and holds himself close to the wall as if to show he is going to be as sneaky as possible. Once everyone is ready, Eko will follow his companions making sure to move slowly and watch his steps. Noticing everyone stop ahead of him, the sneaky kenku will stay about 10 feet back as to not startle any foes ahead of him.

"I agree,we need to stick together and I think an ambush is also a good option, how ever I don't think we would do it as good as my old clan" Haru says in a disheartened tone.

Cole wears a stunned smile as no one truly answers his question. "Right..." Cole shakes himself out of the stupor and moves to everyone. "Stay low and quiet." He quickly tries to move ahead of the rest of the group to Drake's position.

As Cole gets past him, Wilhelm look at him "Oh sorry, you're right... stealth" and he does a hushing gesture with his finger over his mouth and slows down a bit to be stealthier (stealth +2)

Drake As Cole walks away, you crouch closer to the boulder and focus on any conversation going on from around the corner. "... makes sense." "But it does Kov. The faster it goes, the quicker it is done." "Are you serious? You actually think that is how it works?!" "Yes. And if you don't like it, then next time, I'm going to make my own fire." "Alright. Piss off and join the red-skins over there." The group all laugh together at the last suggestion. You peek around the corner as you notice two of the kobolds currently moving towards the cultists. The men look at them with disdain as they approach. One of them sighs as he stand s and picks up the spit from above the fire and pushes two of the prairie hens off of it and on the floor near the kobolds. They quickly snatch up the hens from the dusty floor and tip and growl towards the men before scurrying away and back to the main group of kobolds. The kobolds start to yip excitedly as their meal arrives, causing too much noise for any more conversation to be heard.
After another minute of trying to listen and failing to hear over the kobolds, you turn to see the group behind you, all crouched and slowly approaching your position.
Cole,Eko Eco,Haru,Kavalan,Wilhelm You all relay some ideas to Cole and discuss what you could do with the group up ahead, before all getting low and creeping towards Drake. You all now see a few tall boulders that seemed to have tumbled down from the plateau's above and come to rest in the small valley. Thee are multiple passages between the boulders and you can all see Drake crouched close to one of the passages. As you get closer, the sound of kobolds yipping and creating commotion fills the valley, almost echoing off the steep sides of the valley.

Eko follows the others over towards the hiding rock, making sure to channel his inner giant cat and its sneaking grace. As the group slows and the yipping Kobolds are starting to be heard, Eko begins to think of the little lizards from last night. A scowl takes his face as he waits for Drake or Coles instructions on what to do next.
