Feeling confident there's no immenent threat of goblins, Grim keeps an eye out for other dangers.

Just to switch up his activities, Chigaru puts some of his survival skills to the test, checking for tracks, droppings, or other signs of passage to give them insight into the way forward.

You reach an area where the briars and thistles that grow so rampantly in Nettlewood are even more dense and tangled. You must be close to the see though, as it is not quite dense enough to block the sound of waves crashing on the unseen beaches to the west, the undergrowth is
certainly thick enough to block sight and access to the coast.
Few trees grow this close to the edge of the sea, but the briars often reach heights to rival them. Here, the patch is nearly twenty feet high.
"The tracks dissappear inside the nettles here," Shalelu whispers.
Chigaru is able to carefully pull a piece of the patch aside, revealing a tunnel of thistles within. Looking inside, you see the tunnels split into three directions.
OOC:
An amazing round, netting you 11 tokens.The tunnel is small enough that size 0 and 1 creatures can only wiggle through by stooping over and hunkering down, effectively squeezing to move. They treat the area as Difficult Ground and subtract 1 from their Parry and any rolls that require the use of their arms or body.

Grim starts bopping his finger at the three trails while quietly singing something, "...catch a goblin by the throat, enee, minee, miney, mo." his finger stopping at the left trail. Replacing his maul with a hand axe, "I vote left."

"Could be a tight fit, even for us mate" Wess says. More concerned with how well then can ravel in a tight space, than which way they go.

Chigaru, the largest of the group, looks at the tunnels with skepticism. "I never thought my monk training would be useful for squeezing in goblin tunnels. I agree with going left. I hear the ocean that way and it will give us a great view even if it doesn't lead to our destination."

Khel was not that much of a tracker, so he followed the instinct and training of his fellow party members. He nodded at the directions and continued to follow the group.

You head to the west and it soon turns towards the north. Just a few yards the tunnel once again splits, but this time in two directions. East and West. You can hear and barely see some goblins to the north behind some thistles.
It's hard to make out how many, but by the sound you'd guess at around a dozen goblins. They are making too much noise to notice you so far, but you think it would hard to pass any closer without them noticing.

Whispering to the others, "Do we engage, or try and parlay? If they even know what that means. I'd hate to do nothing and have them surround us later."

"We ambush them, tie them up. No unnecessary killing. They might have information on where their lair is and what might be waiting for us," Chigaru says with a low grumble.

OOC:
If you want to ambush them, we can deal with is as a Dangerous Quick Encounter. That is you each roll one appropriate skill Stealth, Fighting, Shooting, Spellcasting, etc. Failure means you take a Wound (1d4 Wounds on a crit failure) but it can be soaked as usual. Success means you escape with Bumps & Bruises (one level of fatigue), while a raise means you escape unscathed.
If half of you or more fail, I'll narrate that one of the goblins escape or is able to raise an alarm.

Wess, showing remarkable restraint, doesn't go in swinging, although he is still very confident. Maybe overly so "Alright boys, drop your weapons, we aren't here to fight today, so don't make me change my mind!" he says.

"Oh woe is me," one of the goblins complains. "We have failed again. Ripnugget will toss us down the Howling Hole."

Wess ask the goblin; "What's the 'howling hole'? Ya know what, nevermind, I' get the idea. How about instead you give us some useful information?"
