Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (This is the Game Thread)

Desolate and abandoned, the evil alchemist’s mansion stands alone on the cliff, looking out towards the sea. Mysterious lights and ghostly hauntings have kept away the people of Saltmarsh, despite rumours of a fabulous forgotten treasure. What is its sinister secret?

Brax and Kim's voices reach Gunter's ears at the same time and he quickly makes his way down the steps and sprints towards the wine cellar, sword and shield at the ready.

"Well 'ello there... whats all this then?"

Echo/Searos/Vee

Searos notes (Appraisal: 1d20=8 Pass) that the clothes are fine silk, something not locally available, and can only be gained from the east. They have to be worth at least 500gp

Kim/Echo/Amon/Gunter
Amon Reacts quickly, weapon at the ready he prepares to defend himself in the darkness.
An arm reaches for him suddenly, grasping him tightly from behind, Amon attempts to fight back but is thwarted.
(1d20=17 Hit)
"Don't move sonny." a male voice mutters quietly.

Feeling the loss of their Elven sight the two Half Elves react slower, Kim first, the shout filling the room, arms grasp for the mage but fail to grapple tight enough.
(1d20=7 Miss)

Echo Reaches for her darts, reacting slowly she too is grappled from behind, strong arms pulling her close, "Missy, don't you dare, I don't wanna hurt you." A course voice announces, his breath on her neck.
(1d20=18 Hit)

Gunther arrives a little later, climbing down the steps he is suddenly surrounded by darkness.

Goosebumps run down Echo's spine as she struggles against the person that is holding her in place. The fact that someone is holding her close enough that they can breathe on her neck makes her uncomfortable. Someone touching her in general makes her uncomfortable. "Let me go," she mutters hatefully to the person behind her. Without her hands, she can't really cast. That helpless feeling wasn't exactly fun.

Kim changes the grip on the dagger so it points backwards, and, half-turning, pushes it where the body of the grappling person must be.

1d20-4=16, 1d4=3 wow, a natural 20, critical hit! That man's going to regret his move...

Surrounded by darkness, Gunter can hear the sounds of his companions struggling.

(Can I use my blind-fighting in this case?)

Kim slips from the grasp of her attacker, dagger in hand she slides it hard into his chest. She feels it connect hard, catching something, he screams in pain. "Damn!"

Amon tries to struggle, but feels the grip tighten, "Stay, the boss wants to talk to you." The voice says, something hard hits him round the head, and it all goes black.

The man appears to enjoy Echo's struggles as he places a soft cloth to her lips, her mind slips into black.

Stepping into the darkness Gunter can sense the three mages, he hears a thud, the scream of pain is quite loud. (Actions?)

Gunter closes his eyes and concentrates, listening to every movement in the room.

Kim steps forward and to the left a little, to be out of reach of the attacker, but sure not to stumble about anything, the dagger still ready, listening.

"You know, this stuff doesn't really look illegal to me... I don't understand why you would smuggle it."

Is there anything about this stockpile o' stuff that would suggest why it would need to be smuggled?

As far as he can tell its perfectly legal, just some very new clothes that have been left there.
