Speaking very quietly... "We shouldn't enter here... Much less in the dark. Let's go back to the trail."

Speaking in a whisper as well, Wemmick says "It is your party and I'm just tagging along for safety in numbers at this moment. But fighting an enemy because he attacks us is one thing. If any of those parties are hostile we are choosing to kill others if we go there. However if you are looking for something what you seek is often found where others are looking for it too.
I will follow your lead here as either direction gives me a good story to tell." Wemmick gently taps his lute. "And that puts food in my belly and a warm bed to sleep in. Well at least a barn and some bread on my travels."

The smaller light soure moves towards the midle of the caveern before turning to head in your direction while as far as you can tell the figures near the larger flames are staying put.

OOC:
Your party is being joined by a pair of fellow adventurers from the River Deep.in addition I will take this weekend to check for character advancement. At this point any who is still a Rookie, has not advanced since the beginning of their story, should review the progression below and plan what they want to gain as a Novice. Rookies may also advance to Veteran, and veterans will gain XP. If you have questions about yoru advancement post them on your player & character thread.
Characters advance after the introductory session to become a "Novice" gaining weapon mastery or a trait. After another short time they will advance to "Veterans" and gain whichever of mastery or trait they did not pick.
As Veterans begin gaining experience points that can be used to enhance their character as follows.
| Exp Cost | |
| 6 | +1 permanent HP |
| 8 | +1 Proficient or Mastered Weapon. |
| 10 | +1 Trait |
Experience is generally awarded for the group as a whole as follows:
+1 for good roleplay.
+1 for defeating enemies (encounters, not per enemy).
+1 for overcoming challenges
+1 for advancing the plot and their goals.
Advanced Rules for Veterans
Critical Success :
Any time two or more 6's are roll rolled on any test the results exceed basic results. Damage is increased or another beneficial effect will be added by the GM.
Holding :
If a character wants to wait and respond to changes in the situation they may declare this at the beginning of their turn. Holding takes one action allowing them to use their other action at any point afterwards.
Rolls

Looks like they're people at least, Gutelos says to his companion as they near this other group. Don't mean they aren't lookin' ter do us 'arm, but yer fishy friend there said it'd be safer 'ere.
He stands warily at a slight distance from this other group, and calls over oi, you lot, you friends or foes? I'm still Gutelos by the looks o' it, an' this is me mate Glidbem. We're lookin' fer a way out o' this place an' back ter civilisation if there is one around 'ere. You lot lost or doin' somethin' worth joinin' in on?
Gutelos is a goblin-looking duende with a smile that covers at least half his face, and with lots of small sharp teeth of view. He has a miner's helmet atop his head, a flickering flame from an enclosed lamp affixed to it, and carries a pickaxe over his shoulder nonchalantly. He's a bit grimy and his clothes have seen better days, sturdy cloth with a few stitches holding them together in places, the workmanship a little on the shoddy side.

Blornvid reveals himself. "Depends on how you feel about dwarves."Nov 8, 2024 9:12 pm
Blornvid chuckles at the goblin's joke, but then he catches sight of movement. His axe springs to his hand and his smile disappears. "Who's your friend lurking in the shadows?"
Nov 8, 2024 10:03 pm
That's Glidbem. I did say. Gutelos ushers the gnome forward. Don't worry, she couldn't even manage 'alf a dwarf.

Van also chuckles at the joke.
"Greetings Gutelos and Glidbem. I'm Sylvandur and there is civilization close by. We expect to return back there in a few days, so I guess you could join us. If that's ok with rest rest."

Glidbem takes the moment to speak up and say Hello, and apologies if I startled you, I've been rather nervous about being here myself.
The gnome standing before you is dressed in scholars attire, it's former proper appearance now looking much less so after recent travels. Her dark hair, which usually would be kept tied back in some form, has now been left to hang loosely just below her shoulders. Her complexion is on the paler side and her expression seems to be one of constant worry, though not about anything in particular. As she moves she seems to make an effort to stay near to any shadows or objects that could be used as cover.
If it's civilization you're going towards then I would very much be interested in joining you. I do quite look forward to finally seeing the sky again.

Blornvid relaxes when the gnome reveals herself. "Aye, you're welcome to join us. We have some explorin' to do around here first." He looks over to Elsye. "By the by, would you happen to know who's over there at that other fire?"
Nov 12, 2024 1:38 pm
Greetings says a petite goblin. I'm Elyse of the Solstice clan. Glad to make your acquaintance. We just descended form a crevasse above, we can retreat there and set up a camp for the night. If you got here from another direction, did you see any gemstone veins Gutelos? That's what we are looking for. If you didn't see any that will save us exploring this cavern further and we can make a plan for searching the valley. That is if you don't mind working with us while we wait for our ride back to the Manor. They should be here in another six days.
Nov 12, 2024 1:51 pm
The other fire? The big 'un? Nah, we only just arrived 'ere from wherever we were. Not even sure where that was, never mind this place. 'Aven't seen much other than bein' magicked about from one place to another. I wouldn't mind gettin' ter the city - I was escortin' a woman who is supposed ter save the place or somethin' an' I wouldn't mind findin' out if she made it after I came a cropper on the raft an' then in the fishy realm before poofing up 'ere with Glidbem.

Giant Speech says:
What do you all in cave ours?Nov 13, 2024 6:50 pm
Blornvid motions for the others to move towards the exit. "We were just leaving. Sorry to intrude."
Nov 13, 2024 7:37 pm
Gutelos looks at Glidbem with incredulity on his face. I thought yer fishy friend said we'd be goin' somewhere safer?
He starts to move towards the exit as Blornvid suggests, but with his pick firmly in his grasp just in case.

As you look at the ettin you hear a soothing melody from the darkness and a figure walks into the light.

Last newcomer to the group. Welcome @beefbrain / Poppy from here

A young woman, dressed in rustic tribal clothing and decorated with elements of nature, emerges. She continues to play her pan flute as she approaches, slowly at first, and then in a zig zag pattern which turns into a kind of dance, back and forth.
