On the road

The group gets the oxen and the cart settled and hid interrogate the goblin and prepare themselves to go to this "eating cave".

everyone gets a short rest during this time.

Then the goblin begins to lead you down the trail.

The forest around you is bright and fresh with the spring. The goblin ambles along on its heart leg every now and then tripping and stumbling to the side, but you make good time. You have walked approximately 10 minutes from the tribo.Trail when the goblins stumbles yet again. Falling to the side of the trail then hurriedly righting himself before rushing forward to make up the time. "Going on, going on." He grumbles to himself and glares at Alex's daggers.

More like this after the goblin fell and got back up.

Tatiana frowns, looking at the trail to see if anything might have tripped the goblin, then to Alex in case the nobleman had something to do with it.

Tatiana you see nothing that could have tripped the goblin.

But as the group moves forward...

Alex and Surge make dexterity saving throws please.

Surge is able to step to the side in time, but Alex is not.

A snare no one saw triggers, in a moment of spinning Alex is suspended upside down 10 feet above the ground and is restrained.

The goblin dashed into the undergrowth the instant he heard the trap snap. Moving as fast as his bindings would alow.

Tatiana steps to the side, looking for any angle to see the hiding goblin.

Raven hears the snare go off and suddenly Alex is upside down. It takes the farmer a moment to realize what has happened, looking back to see where the goblin is located.

Roll an athletics. Check to see how well you accomplish your task.

Perception checks to try and see where he went

Surge has no idea where the Goblin went. He follows the snare's rope to see where it goes so, he can release it. "I will see if I can lower you down."

@MaJunior,@SHMKehoe what are Ammos and Decklan doing? Looking for the goblin or something else?

Can Ammos examine the trap in the trees and try to determine if there's a way to safely lower Alex from here?

Before Surge or Ammos can try and help Alex get down he uses all his strength to pull his self up and swipe a dagger across the rope. Alex had hopes of holding on and then jumping down, but his grip slips and he falls to the ground unable to catch himself. Alex receives 2 bludgeoning damage. When he hits the ground. He is now prone but free.

The goblin disappears into the undergrowth despite his bound state.
