Brewner wakes up a little confused, but instinctively reaches for his Warhammer. After listening to Grinfletch's explanation, he just nods and quickly packs his equipment.

Knight
The Knight says, "Before you leave, write a note for the Wizard explaining what happened. You don't want to be blamed for the death of the guards and the looting of his camp!"
OOC:
The King, on the other hand, doesn't say any of this because he doesn't have context yet. If he did, he would say the same thing.

@daryen could you explain the Knight for Ricardo? Also, I want to read your explanation again, as I don’t entirely remember.

The Knight is a magical chess piece owned by Ander that offers solicited and unsolicited advice to its him. Humorously, another character has a very similar item.

In both cases, only the owners can "hear" the magical chess piece. But no one wanted me to put the messages in hidden notes, so I just post openly when the piece has something to say. I always keep it short and simple.

I also have a magical chess piece

Ohhh yeah, forgot Brewner had that! Thanks for reminding me about that.

OOC:
Brewner's piece is the King to which I referred. I figured the King does not yet have context to offer that advice yet. However, the Knight has been around and listening the whole time, so it knows Fiznik is not here.

Though the arrow flight causes little noise and the guards were killed so quickly they had not time to react or call out and only Ishzu witnessed their passing. However Ishzu's initial mental call broke the party from their deep sleep but only Grin was brought fully awake. Peering out the tent flap you see them swarming over the camp. Most are under the directions of a couple that look to be spell casters but there are a few around Ishzu. You notice that a couple goblins look towards the tent but stay on their current tasks, for the moment. Their focus appears to be preparing the massive crystal for transport but a few are looting the rest of the camp. It is only a matter of time before they turn to the tent.

The big goblin icons are groups of 4, the little green heads are the spell caster looking things, the green diamond is the crystal, the shell token is the pile of gear.
Everyone in the tent was woken but Ishzu, which would be a new experience to all, but only Grin is fully awake. Each player can react as appropriate for their character. Grin tries to put them to bed, odd and a bit optimistic but still nice.
I love how Ishzu is "sneaking" into the goblin camp, LoL!

Oh dang, they’re going for the big crystal… well, maybe it’ll keep them busy. Is the "D" the tent? And there are 4 people in the tent, right? And Grinfletch just woke them all up quietly.

And that’s cool about the chess pieces.

D is tent, Ishzu is outside, other 4 are inside

OOC:
In "Their focus appears to be preparing the massive crystal for transport", you mean Ishzu himself, right?

Question for the rest of the players.

Is the plan still to remain hidden and follow the goblins with Ishzu?
We can try to open the back of the tent and then remain hiden behind some rocks, if there is rocks to hide, or something similar.

OOC:
Good plan! Begin the action and Oliver will play along. We need to leave the tent

OOC:
agreed, take the lead Mr Hopper!

Also, my interpretation of the map is that the green crystal is the big one from the spider cave and the #4 on the map is Ishzu. They might take both? @Psybermagi , our confusion I think is from the description of the goblins touching Ishzu and then saying they want to take the big crystal which I originally thought meant him. But now I’m guessing is the big one from the spider cave, right? Is my interpretation wrong?

Ander is good with all that, let’s do it. Yeah, I too thought the Big Chunk of Crystal stayed back with Fiz, but I guess this is just the randomly-biggest piece we could bring-with? All good in any case, reads like a pretty cool plan.
@Psybermagi Can you splane again please, re- Items, what are differences between Cheap, Normal and Premium goods? Is that like disadvantage/normal roll/advantage on related tests? Thx. .

OOC:
Those are the prices listed for different locations. For our use, we buy things at Normal prices and sell them at cheap prices. So if I buy a shovel, it costs 2g, but if I sell it back later on, they buy from me at 1g. Did I answer the right question?

Brewner points toward the back of the tent, moving towards it. He unties the knots, opens it and put his head outside.
He tries to see if the coast his clear, when ready he signal his companions to follow him.
He crouches trying to disguise his bulk with the darkness surrounding, moving silently to any big rock or hole that can hide his group and still be able to see what happens in camp.

Alright Veilstitch, make me one with the darkness. Grin’s cloak turns a deep black, non-reflective coloring as he silently follows his companions out from the back of the tent and around the closest stone outcroppings.

Let’s hide here and wait for them to leave. Then we can follow them.
