Iolgur peers through the darkness of the cave, trying to find Maru. She must've gone without me, he thinks. With that he packs his gear and moves into the tunnel.

Qavez coughs, then lays a hand on Chanler's shoulder. "I didn't want to say anything until I was absolutely sure," he says, hesitantly, "but we may have to accept the fact that Nestor might have perished. Those ogres we killed; they had a little pen with the remains of their leftovers, and... well, I have no hard evidence, but it seemed like their last meal was an older person.
"Now, before you go about punching yourself in grief, remember that there would have been children's bones in there had you not interfered. You did good."
Qavez gives Chanler's shoulder a squeeze.

She nods slowly, "Yep, they ate him. Hark gave most of him to the ogres, but kept some for his rats."

"They ate him when he died? That's terrible! Why don't you have any food here? I have rations if you're hungry... they're not very good, but at least they're not dead people."

"We have food, child. The ogres don't like our food. Didn't like our food. They demanded man-flesh."

Qavez looks over at the approaching party. "Let's get a move on. This Hark is probably not just sitting around doing nothing." Turning back to the free goblin, he says, "Lead us to this secret passage."

"Oh." Chanler replies back to Qavez. He tenses as his shoulder is squeezed, and gives a solemn nod. "Yeah, let's keep going."

The goblin nods and stands from her squat. She leads you down a twisting passageway, pausing often to make sure you can keep up. It is clear that these dark tunnels are her home, for she navigates them with ease. After a few minutes she pauses, and you can see the flicker of firelight illuminating the tunnel about 50 meteres ahead. She softly speaks to Chanler, "That is the cavern where he hides. He is probably expecting you, but not from this direction. Are you ready?"

OOC:
marithyme, do I need any checks to see if I reach the rest of the party? It appears that everybody just moved on :)Mar 24, 2018 4:51 am
"Yeah." Chanler replies. "I'll go." He says as he begins to walk towards the light and halfheartedly holds his hands up.

Qavez tries to pull Chanler back. "I think we could try to set up a surprise attack, first."

Let's assume they went back for you, and that everyone is together. They wouldn't have just gone on without you.Mar 25, 2018 4:26 am
"Mighty brave of you, except you'll be distracting them in the same tunnel the rest of us are using," says Qavez with a smile. "I think in this situation, we'll just have to strike as hard and as fast as possible. Send in the heavy hitters to break any rank, while those with arrows support from a distance."
