"But I am afraid we became the victims of some tomfoolery during the night, which left me in a pit and my new comrade absent."

He eyes the mountain climbing effort, "I see you have kept yourselves busy", he observes with a raised brow, "though at least you managed to remain clean" he adds, looking down at his soiled clothing with a frown, "Say, I dont suppose you have a handkerchief do you?"

Meanwhile, up on the cat-walk, Dieter and Ulric spy no sign of further activity, near or far...

Highbough appears lost in thought for a moment, then he too scrambles up the rope to join Ulric and Dieter on the wall. Perhaps his keen Elf senses will detect something...

"No, and I don't think your new friend was a friend, either." Olaf says, "Probably, some sort of magic using villain that put a spell on you, robbed and abandoned you. You're lucky he didn't slit your throat or turn you into a pig...you sure do smell like he started to do that very thing!"

EDIT: Oops, I forgot that Desmond has a dog whistle...Olaf couldn't hear it, so cancel the following.

Olaf jumps when Desmond starts blowing his whistle, "What the...!"

"Well, if we had any sort of surprise before, we sure don't now!"

OOC: Yeah, I was thinking if there WERE people hiding in wait behind closed doors and maybe they had dogs with them that it would at least tell us something.
