"This isn't the entrance." Belanor states plainly. "Maybe this was the fastest way out?"

"We could bury them up to their neck and come back for them later." Gerbo offers.

Kerisha dumps the Drow ungraciously down on the rocks with a thud. She takes a deep breath in of fresh(er) air and stares at the water. In her head she tries to backtrack through the cave and recall the way back to town.
[ +- ] Wanderer
You have an excellent memory for maps and geography, and you can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.

Karma feels like the Spider may not remain friendly for much longer, "Thank you spider dude, you are free to go back to your cave." Karma gives a friendly smile to the spider, before turning to Kerisha. "Sounds like the best plan we have, maybe Macska can help you right?"

"Unless we grab a shovel and pick from the entrance, I'm not sure that would work. I for one wouldn't want to trek back though there alone."
Belanor sheaths his sword hoping he doesn't have to pull it out again.
He looks back into the cavern, "With that do you think theres more in there to discover?" Scratching his head not looking at the others he leans against the wall away from the cliff face.

I wanna say there's some basic digging gear at the front but i don't recall the description other than dwarf bones and 2 sleeping rolls. Jan 24, 2023 6:49 pm
Gerbo responds by trying to dig a hole with his Mage Hand, scraping at the ground in the nearest convenient spot.

With her uncanny mental mapping ability, Kerisha is fairly certain she can lead the group to the front entrance without a problem.
"I will do my best to scout ahead to help you leave this place. With the removal of the Drow and most of the undead, the dwarves that lie here may finally get to rest." Macska says while licking his front paw, watching as a spectral hand struggles to scratch away at the bedrock along the shore.
"You'll need more powerful magic if you wish to dig into the rock. Even after being exposed to the waves for millennia, the shore line appears to have been barely worn."
And there were mining supplies at the front of the cave, including pick axes and the like.

Between Kerisha and Macska, it would be easy enough to find the quickest path out of the cave. If that's the way you all would like to proceed I'll have all of you roll stealth (assuming you're not looking for conflict) and we'll be on the way.And there were mining supplies at the front of the cave, including pick axes and the like.

Watching the group looking around like they had all just done communion with nature Karma looks to Macska, "Well Cat dude with Kerisha’s hand full carrying Mr Negativity over there," flicks a thumb at the Drow, "It’s up to you to lead the way out please."
Feb 6, 2023 5:53 pm
Macska turns to look at the Drow Kerisha has unceremoniously draped over her shoulder.
"While one evil has been removed from this place, I fear the undead threat still remains, so I suggest we proceed with caution. I will scout ahead periodically and let you know when it is safe to continue."
With that, the large black cat moves forward, seemingly swallowed up by the shadows, only for him to reappear a short time later to urge the group ahead.
This process repeats several times until Macska stops the group just before entering the large cavern where you had discovered the body of Karma's uncle, Tharden.
"There is a lone dwarf in the room ahead, burying the corpse of another." Macska says quietly, looking for guidance on how to proceed.

Gerbo looks at Karma expectantly, thinking to himself Seems like something a dwarf should handle.
Feb 8, 2023 6:56 am
Karma looks Macska as they communicate what is in the next room, his eyes widen and he stumbles at a few un-intangible words before racing off into the cavern.

Karma's quick entrance into the cavern causes the shovel wielding dwarf to take a step back and prepare himself for a conflict, but when Gundren sees that the intruder is his nephew, he lowers his guard.
"Tell me you've found the scoundrel responsible for killing me brothers."

Karma stops just short of his Uncle, "Uncle, we found this super negative Drow dude." Karma points back towards the cave entrance without looking. "He seems to be the cause of all troubles around here."
Feb 9, 2023 1:13 pm
Kerisha strides forwards into the room and dumps the Drow in front of Karma. Grateful to have the great lump off her shoulder, she stretches out to get the blood flowing back to her arm again.
Feb 9, 2023 7:48 pm
Gundren watches as Kerisha casually dumps the Drow onto the ground. The dwarf's face reddens with anger as his grip tightens around the handle of the shovel. He takes a step forward, raising the tool into the air ready to strike, but before bringing it down in force on the tied up prisoner he stops.
"A quick death is too good for this bastard!! Take him back to Phandalin and let Sildar at 'im - the damned Drow will be begging for death by the time he's through."
The old dwarf nods and returns to the solemn business of burying his brother.
"When we open this cave up for business, we'll turn this into a proper shrine for Tharden and the others of our kind who have died here."
Oh, and I love Kerisha's reaction to the whole thing, just dumping the Drow on the ground. Perfect!

ngl, I didn't think we were at the entrance, I thought we were somewhere else in the cave/mine.I'm cool with a time warp. I heard it was just a jump to the left.
