The Goblin Cave

Raven sits in the protected hunting blind, arms wrapped around his knees, a chill running up his spin as a breeze reminds him that he is soaked to the bone. A fire would be nice, but that would defeat the protected nature of their resting spot. The farmer pulls some dried meat from his bag, chewing on it absently as he rests, watching over Alex who has collapsed, and keeping an eye out for anything which might disturb their rest. They had not achieved much in rescuing their employer, but it was nice that they were able to free the wolves.

Decklan you march through the familiar turnes of the tunnel. Pausing for a few moments at the junction where the wooden bridge still passes over you see nothing moving but the slight sway of the bridge its self. You then pass beneath, there the path curves and you see light a head for a brief moment before a second thunderous rush of water roars down upon you.

Trakomak you have just begun to trek farther up the tunnel when a rolling wave comes crashing down at you.

Strength Save from both of you please, plus a Perception for Trakomak

"Sonnova-!!"

Both Decklan and Trakomak are forced down the tunnel and washed out of the cave. Taking 2 dmg.

Those outside of the cave hear the rush of the water as it pours out of the cave mouth, your two missing friends floating along with it.

Raven hears the rushing of the water and glances through the shrubs of their hiding place, "he is a persistent fellow..." he said quietly, not moving from where he sat with Alex.

Water knows when you go Trakomak make the obvious conclusion. Maybe look for way around?

He recalls the poor state of the rest of the party and note that this should only be done after everyone feel rested.
Trakomak would guard the cave entrance/exit meanwhile

"Thank you," Tatiana says to Trakomak as he and Decklan wash up at the cave entrance. She had asked that someone fetch the scarred one, and in her eyes that task was performed suitably. She directs the two to where the rest of the team is resting. "In here."

Tatiana removes her outer layer of wet garments to begin the process of drying them out. She uses her Prestidigitation cantrip to first remove lingering mud, then applies a comforting warmth before putting the item back on.

As she launders her equipment, she says, "There was a tunnel the led away from the stream. We could try there."

"Noticed a flash of light before the water rushed again," Decklan says, picking himself up from the mouth of the cave. He turns, as if to charge back in, fast enough that it would make someone wonder if it's reflexive.

He stops mid-step, his scarred face not hiding his anger in the least as he seems to contemplate his choice of actions. Punching the stone at the entrance hard enough that some of it chips off, he growls, "I hate this. Never dreamed I'd be this weak again..." The internal struggle playing tug of war with visible indicators of shifting impulses, with reason eventually winning out as Decklan stalks over to the blind and sits with his back against a tree, scowling at everything and everyone.

"A flash of light?" Tatiana asks as a means to confirm. "Like an explosion?" She tries to recall if she was able to feel or hear any sound comparable to such before the first deluge of water. She doesn't believe there was, considering how surprised everyone was.

"Or a signal?"

"Signal maybe... or maybe it was just light I only caught a glimpse of before we triggered something to spring a trap. Not sure how they have that much water set up ready to go though," Decklan replies.

Tatiana continues cleaning what she can of her clothing and equipment, before moving to Ammos and taking care of his gear. "I remember hearing a waterfall further in. Perhaps there is a dam," she offers as an explanation. "If that is the case, do we believe the goblins have emptied the reservoir, or is there still enough for a third flood?"

The wizard continues, "I also remember a bridge. If there was a signal, perhaps a goblin was up there? I don't recall seeing anyone, but I didn't have enough time to look. The presence of the bridge, however, does indicate an upper level of this cave. Maybe a ledge or higher tunnel. If we can climb up there, we might bypass further flooding."

Raven absently watched Tatiana cast here cleaning spell, similar to the one the stable hand had been using he guessed.

"There were no tracks at that side passage, but this much water flooding out would wash away any signs. I would definitely suggest we try that, perhaps he curls up to that bridge we spotted. Definitely worth a look to avoid another flood."
