Reclaiming Paphos

OK, here is the recap:

We have escaped the Remnant with everything but three of the amethysts. We have all of the magic items and the chest and now even have an invitation to the goblin Remnant! (I was prepared to "spend" the dagger or darts to pay off the goblins, but that wasn't necessary.)

On our way back we ran into both a hobgoblin patrol and a lizardman patrol. The hobgoblins and the lizardmen got it on and the hobgoblin patrol didn't make it. Unfortunately, there are apparently two more groups of lizardmen running around and our group is current surrounded! We don't know the disposition of the lizardmen, but we can assume that, since they are trying to take over the area, they will not look at other interlopers favorably. Add in that we're carrying a fancy magic chest and staff, and I imagine their opportunism will kick in. So, we're probably best off trying to just get away.

Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to describe how we manage to successfully get out of this situation. You don't need to roll for anything, and you can control the entire group. But, it needs to make for a cool story when we get back and tell everyone what happened! And, since everyone seems to have had a turn, and since Psybermagi should be back sometime this week, feel free to have us end up back at the Base.

And ... go!

To be more precise, it is the same original group of lizardmen but they split into 3 smaller groups.
We might not have realized it though.

As an aside, please don't feel too much like we're putting you on the spot. If this isn't how you normally want to play, that's cool and someone else can wrap it up instead. I just thought it would be cool for everyone to have the chance to contribute.

A couple of 'uncommon' advantages: Arc and Skeeve can communicate telepathically with their crystals, and Arc can fly. Feel free to use them if you want.

And Skeeve has Magic!

alright, here goes:

sorry. The escape seemed a little lack luster so someone else has to bring it home, with hopefully some more creativity than me.

Also, sorry it took so long.

Not a problem!

We apparently have the whole week to finish it up. Anyone else wanna take a shot of resolving it, or at least moving it forward?

I'm not sure I'll finish it off, but I can move it forward a bit more ..

You turn!

Just to be clear, we are now back in player mode, correct?

Then I guess I should have tried to wrap it up last night!

Is there a city matrix node in the church's basement?

I writing this in 2 different post to allow for any interaction in between :)
