No-one seems to have noticed your presence despite your conversations. You feel comfortable making open conversation because of the noise of the stream. A silver, warm glow sometimes flickers from the top of the rubble passage as you look at at.

Arashi makes it 15ft up the chimney, only just disappearing from sight. Movith gets stuck on the rubble, falling prone and only making it 5ft up the slope. It's evident to Arashi that there is another 15ft to climb - it is a steep, tight climb but with good footholds.

"BRUUGH TOK, RIPPER?" Barks a commanding voice, probably in the goblin tongue. You hear paws, low barks, pattering feet and quiet panting coming from the very top.

More footsteps, and then the same voice, but much louder: "TIIRCh BAKA TRI KRA FONN!". After a pause, you hear footsteps, which get quieter as the figure walks away. You still hear the muzzling creature investigating the chimney.


Also, the warm silvery glow flickers brighter. There may be a campfire in the cave above.

Arashi gains no ground, but dislodges some of the rubble onto Movith as he climbs up behind him. Movith cannot pass Arashi because of the tight passage. The two of you are now 15 and 20ft respectively from the top of the chimney. It doesn't look too far now and there is no commotion up top other than an angry conversation between goblinoids - and there are more than one, but one appears to be dominant and perhaps is barking orders at the others.

Bracing one of his swords, secure in its lacquered wood scabbard, against the walls of the chimney for leverage, Arashi tries to make headway upward.

Arashi slips, but quietly catches himself on his sword and scabbard, scarring both the laquer and grip on both ends of the sword but not falling on his companions.
