3 The Goblin Cave

Tatiana quickly mulls over the encumbrance of the treasure chest and decides on a short list of priority.

Decklan oversees as his group leaves with the rescued hostages.

Very well; let’s go, Sildar, Alex says as he helps Sildar out of the cave. With everyone leaving he is not going to challenge the goblins on his own. Lady Wizard, he calls out, don’t forget our findings!

When Alexander yells out about their "findings," Decklan immediately shoots him a withering look. If it could kill...

Regardless, Decklan makes sure everyone else has left the cavern with the rescued hostages before looking to Yeemik. "Pleasure doin' business." With that, he heads out himself.

Raven follows Alex or Tatiana out of the gave (which ever is slower) and will help with Sildar if needed.

Ammos helps Tatiana with the treasure. Together they are able to get all of what was in Klargs chest out of the cave.

As you all pass back through the cave you're on edge, but you all make it back out into the now starlit night. Sildar goes straight to Gundren upon exiting the cave. The dwarf turning to him with unseeing eyes.

"You're alright my friend. We've been saved, and we'll find a way to fix it."

"Ammos, please see to Gundren," says Tatiana, wanting her brother to help Sildar with the dwarf and provide any medical assistance. Gundren's condition is of obvious concern.

To Raven, she asks, "Can you get us to the wagon? I don't wish to remain so close to these goblin churls with so many wounded. We ought to leave as quickly as we can for Phandalin."

Turning to the rest of the group, Tatiana says, "Thank you all for your help. I wish we could rest, but I'm certain you would all agree that we must get as far from here as possible. Perhaps one day we can return and reclaim those stolen supplies. In the meantime, let us be mindful of traps as we travel towards safety."

Raven thought for a moment, "The trail here was fairly straight forward to follow, but in the dark, I'm not sure. With Decklan's help, I think we can manage. I agree, we should not linger near this cave."

You leave them stolen. They keep robbing merchants. Torture people. Trakomak points at dwarf.
I go take supplies. Not help hem prosper.

Trakomak is going to retrieve supplies. If goblins bother him, he will kill them (at least try to).

"Whatever prosperity they enjoy will be temporary," says Tatiana. She cannot pursue the half-orc physically, so her voice attempts to follow. "You are a formidable warrior, Trakomak, and night has fallen; lend us your skills to protect our friends as we escort them to safety. We will return to deal with these goblins."

She waits briefly by the cave entrance. If Trakomak chooses to continue for the supplies, Tatiana regrettably turns to follow the rest of her companions to the wagon.

Halforc stops, turns around and with a dull OK returns ready to carry dwarf to the wagon.

Ammos crouches down next to Gundren, casting dancing lights about them, so he might examine his friend. Gundren is beaten but no wounds are fatal. "What happened to your eyes?" Ammos asks him softly.

"The Bugbear, he made me drink something. It… it took my sight."

"We will find a cure, whatever it is there must be a cure." Sildar squeezes Gundren’s shoulder and turns back to the rest of the group. "I heard them talking, they said they took our things to somewhere called Cragmaw castle. We need to find Gundren’s map when we can, but first I think he needs a healer. Surely a cleric can heal his sight."

Tatiana nods. "The wagon is nearby. We will head for Phandalin immediately. Is there a cleric at Phandalin?"

"Damn well better be," Decklan says, arms crossed as he looks over the group. They were certainly the worse for wear, but they were all still pushing air past their teeth -- that was always a good sign.

"Me an' th' kid can lead the way back to the wagon. We move slowly but decisively. I agree with Princess... we put distance between us and these caves. I don't think they want to fight us, seeing as how we'd killed the guy they were afraid of... but if they think we're easy marks they might roll the dice. Let's not risk findin' out."
