Kerisha is unable to move the huge Bugbear in her current state.

Karma looks at his companions assessing the injuries amongst them quickly, "Dude and Dudette’s we all look a little rough around the edges." He then moves about them aiding where he could.
OOC:
Gives 2 healing potions to Kerisha (2d4+2)
Gives 2 healing potions to Gerbo (2d4+2)
(Leaves 4 healing potions left)
Medicine check on Gundren, will give him healing potion if required.

Gerbo waves Karma off, gesturing to the potions he found in the bag. He will drink them, sitting on the satchel, collecting his thoughts for a bit, after which he will go retrieve his crossbow and one of the bolts he can remove from the wolf. He finally notices the dwarf. "Oh, well, we found him. That's good! Are we supposed to clear the place or just find the dwarf?"

"Do I look like a clear the place kind of merchant," Belanor says is a semi sarcastic manner.
"He was missing and we got him that's what I've got. UNLESS you think this is the palace the druid squirrel was talking about with the dragon. Then we should definitely scuffle on out.

Weak, but conscious, Gundren's eyes light up when he sees a familiar face.

"If it isn't the pride of the Barksmoker clan." he says. And even though he struggles getting the words out, his stress of the word 'pride' does not go unnoticed.

"Good to see ya, lad, we'll make a proper Dwarf of you yet, but we've got other matters to attend to. The Bugbear King stole my map, we need to find it, and then see if we can rescue Sildar from the grimy goblins that ambushed us."

He rolls slowly onto his side and works himself up to a seated position where he catches his first glimpse of the carnage around him.

"So much for the King." he chuckles, pointing to the Bugbear. "Smelly bastard!"

He then looks at each member of the party in turn and the looks to Karma.

"Friends of yours?"

Gerbo's ears prick up when the map is mentioned. He gets up and walks over, still a little tender as the healing potion does its work. "A map? Liiiiiiiiike," He rustles around in his pack, "this one?" He pulls out the map he found in the satchel, holding it up for the dwarf to look at.

Rubbing his eyes and squinting at the map Gundren studies it for a few seconds before nodding affirmatively.

"Aye... that's the map."

He shakes his head back and forth, to try and clear his thoughts, and works his way to his feet where he takes a second look over the party.

"Ah, the crew I sent to Phandelver. Must have taken a few too many knocks to me head there, didn't recognize you at first. Can't thank you enough for the rescue, but doesn't mean I won't be rewarding you. First order of business though is to see if we can find Sildar."

Kerisha chugs the healing potions and rolls her shoulder around. The ache dulls and she is ready to swing her sword again. She gets to her feet and stands guard over the sleeping hobgoblins.

What's the plan? Gundren is asking to reduce Sildar (he doesn't know any better) and he is now in possession of a map to a place called Wave Echo Cave.

From the PLACES GUIDE post...

Wave Echo Cave: More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver's Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge (called the Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin (pronounced fan-duh-lin) prospered as well. But then disaster struck when orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path.

"Hey, we already got Sildar, bud. He's back in town. Do you want us to bring you back there? What is the map for?"

The Dwarf's face lights up when he learns that Sildar is safe.

"Safe in town, he is? We just might succeed at this thing yet!"

Gundren goes on to explain his intention is to reopen the mines within the cave to help reastablish Phandalin's long lost prosperity.

"And make some coin for the clan while we're at it of course!"

Gerbo starts fiddling with his hand crossbow a little as he continues, "I think staying here is probably not the best plan, so we should get moving. I suppose making sure our employer is safe is our first job, so I think you need to go back to town. Anyone else have an opinion? We need to leave before someone shows up here and we have to fight some more baddies off. Can you walk, Gundren?"

"yes to town you go." Belanor says before the idea of him having to face not monsterous enemies arises again.
Jan 20, 2022 12:00 pm
Still feeling a little hurt by Gundren's words Karma just nods and simply says, "We should ensure my Uncle's safety first."

Feeling fresher after a swift drink, Kerisha is ready to move on, but first checks over the bugbear for any trophy of her conquest. She finds little on the bugbear except for a simple looking needle. She is about to discard it, but if feels surprisingly strong and unwilling to bend. Kerisha tucks it away safely, somewhere is wont stick into her.

Not wanting to carve chunks out of every enemy, I hope you don't mind me using the random trinket table?

Detecting a change in Karma's tone, the roughed up dwarf tries his best to smooth things over.

"You Barksmokers are good clan, Lad. Wouldn't have let me sister marry into it if I didn't think so - not that I could stopped yer mother if a tried, mind ya. You did good coming out here and rescuing me, and if you help me get that mine up and running we'll cut you into the operation fair an' square. Smashing rocks, son! That's what we're meant to be doing!"

Trinket table for the find was a nice touch, @QuantumRiot. Going to "borrow" that at some point in the future.

Fade to black to Phandalin then? Nothing else you want to do at the castle?
