While the others are searching around Ishzu tries to see if the pink slime is sentient at all."These goblins need to be dealt with one way or another."

OOC:
The pink slime is not sentient at all. Think of it as dangerous algae. :-)

OOC:
Try licking it :P

With a big toothy smile, Grin yells: Leeeeet’s goooo! Grin punches the air and readjusts the rubber boots, gloves and mask.
Mar 8, 2024 11:48 pm
Oliver decides to stop thinking and let himself flow with the sentiment.

"Alright! Goblin hideout it is! Time to save Ishzu's cousin!"

And he proceeded to stow away the most delicate parts of his gear before getting into the slime and heading towards the goblin gap.

"We need to find a way for all of us to cross the slime"
OOC:
Using mimic to create temporary shoes is an ingenious option. But I wonder if we will need to flee, what if we use oil and then burn the slime near the wall closest to the goblin entrance, creating a path where we can walk freely

Good point! Well, the slime is only a couple inches deep around the edge of the cavern. I have some rope That might help? Oh, I have pitons I could place around the perimeter of the cave for us to run the rope through and then we’ll have a handhold.
OOC:
Will that take too long?

Ander readies his gear and strides towards the goblin hangout. Time for knightly action!

Ishzu grabs his rope and walks across to the other side of the cave. " Stick to the edges and skirt around. The slime is lower there."
Mar 9, 2024 3:26 pm
"I tried that before, it was possible to cross near the edge but not easy and i don t want to lose my shoes!"
Mar 9, 2024 3:51 pm
"Instead of making shoes with the mimic, use it as stepping stones."
Mar 9, 2024 4:15 pm
Grin drags the mimic through the slime for Brewner to use as a stepping stone in particularly deep areas as they move to the Goblins’ tunnel.

"Let us cross now, and worry about the cleaning afterwards."

With some work, Grin and Ishzu work to move the mimic's body around to serve as an impromptu walkway along the edge of the slime. Taking care, the group is able to get to the goblin's entrance with a couple scares, but no issues. Once they fully make it, Ishzu pushes the mimic's body a little deeper into the pink slime so it is fully submerged.
OOC:
While it would have been hilarious to make Ander, Oliver, and Brewner make some rolls, I'm not. We've spent enough time with the pink slime. For now.
With just one path to follow the group works their way through the passage. In the middle of the passage, there is a widening that has fungal growths in it, but the center section is barren with a sharp border around it. It appears the initial goblins using this passage had had an encounter, but it has obviously been cleared a while ago. After a long 30 minutes, the group finds themselves in another cavern system.

The cavern you have appeared in is large (at least 100 feet to the far side) and extremely dark. You have entered from what Grin believes to be the southern side of the new cavern. Close to where you come out of the passage, you can see a small area that Grin can tell has been used multiple times as a staging area with the remnants of a fire pit. While there are no embers, it has been recently used. Most likely by the warband that attacked your campsite in the other caverns. As you get ready to make your next move, you hear movement to the east, and when you look you see the dim flickers of torchlight beginning to be evident.

A voice calls out, "Fizzer! Dlank! Is that you?
OOC:
What do you do?
Mar 9, 2024 7:50 pm
OOC:
How far away is the light? How long do we have approximately until this person sees us?
Grin whispers to his companions - maybe Oliver and I should set up just to the West of the South entrance we came in from. The others can hide just inside the South entrance and make some noise to attract this Goblin. When it gets close enough to the entrance, we can all attack at once and take it down quickly. What do you think?
OOC:
So basically Oliver and I hide in the shadows with our ranged weapons and then when the goblin gets close to the entrance we came in from, Brewner, Ander and Ishzu can rush out and attack and Oliver and I can shoot it too.

Oliver nodded and started heading to hide, but then stopped for a second and whispered,

"Grin, you're wearing the goblin gear. You could pretend you're one of those two that fell asleep in the pit while on duty. Just lay there and snore. Then we ambush when the goblin draws near."
Mar 9, 2024 9:30 pm
Yes, that’s a better idea. Okay, I’ll lay down by the fire pit while you all hide nearby. He wills his cloak, Veilstitch to look similar in fabric color and texture to the Goblins’ clothing. He moves to the cold fire pit and places his torch into the fire pit with the hope it will keep burning and maybe start a little fire. He lays down and pulls his cloak over himself to better hide his features and gear, but lets the goblin rubber boots and gloves poke out the sides of the cloak.

Grin needs to give me a roll ...

OOC:
Fingers crossed
OOC:
Post-roll: booo, I look so goblin-like with my fancy boots.

"I would like to try and communicate with them before we attack. We might get some useful information. If I fail do what you must."
