04 - Ruin in the Moor

Rhegaer the Red

"Why use one of these quick-strikes when we have an open flame? Save these for when we need to light a fire in a hurry..."

[mgtremaine]

After some debate Rhegaer grabs a few long strands of grass, sticks them in the fireplace to ignite them and returns to Phadian. Some liquid is poured out and touched with the flame... szzzzz. Nothing, far to high water content to ignite. It must be as it smells very sour wine.

Alrik packs the fire-sticks away and hands the extra torches to Rik.

"We need to rest, and I would like to study my spellbook. Is this room defensible enough?"

HAGWEN

"Might be better to rest outside: Cleaner air. An' I don' like the idea of poor Rik bein' left alone wi' them gobs that long."

[CursedDice]

Coln

"Well, if we go outside when we come back whoever is down here might find out and then the place could be crawling with more goblins. We should at least find out a little more about what is down here before we go."

Rhegaer the Red

"Now that Hagwen is with us, I think we could explore a bit more. But when we're done exploring, I vote for camping above ground, as well."

OOC: according to most game mechanics, staying underground overnight significantly increases the number of random encounter rolls, so it is always advisable to stay above ground when possible.

[mgtremaine]

Overview: Phadian, who is injuried, and Alrik who is out of spells would like to rest. Hagwen warns there are more enemies, Rhegaer and Coln would like to explore more and rest outside.

The party discusses their options, it seems agreed that they should move on. Rhegaer sketches out the map he has in his head. Where do you go and what is the marching order?

Phadian

"If we do look around a bit more I will just be carrying the lantern, no fighting for me."

[doctorx]

Hagwen

The Hag will take the front line, bow in hand.

"Gives me a chance ta make up fer lost time, eh?"

[mgtremaine]

The party gathers themselves up for a bit more exploring. Hagwen in the lead followed by Rhegaer, Coln & Aurora, Phidian with the Lantern, and Alrik in his position at the back.

Hagwen trudges back to the last 3 way corridor.

Do you turn West (left) or to you continue to backtrack?

PS - Did anyone take the PIckled Goblin Head?
