Whilst he waits for her answer he turns to address the rest of the group, "Shall we continue on then?"

Which way to you want to continue? Back to the water cave where most of the group entered? Or the other exit where Laira came from and Sanem left though?

Which way is closest to the lighthouse to return the mirror?

Not sure if you seen my post about Zynthis being able to speak goblin. I just wanted to avoid future confusion.

Doran is kind of struck incredulous by this turn of events. But, as Gabe takes over and seems to know what he's doing, Doran just shrugs and moves out of the Sart's line of sight so as not to distract her from the Tiefling.

Doran's attempt to not be distracted proves to have the opposite effect as Sart carefully watches where Doran is going.

Ah, my hide check wasn't good enough?

Unknown. The group Laira arrived with did not even realize that they were getting close to a town. Counting the boat that the Goblins used, there should be at least 4 boats in the water cave.

Yes, I saw it. Nice to know so many can talk to your new hire...

It wasn't a question of your hid check being good enough, she was specifically watching for Doran, the person who had offered a chance to surrender, and her master as far as she was concerned. When he got out of sight, she started looking for him. Since Gabe made his offer, she's no longer searching for Doran.

[Ogremind]

Well, that was the idea.

[cyco]

Gabe considers both options for a moment then turns to Sart, <What is the fastest way back to the lighthouse? We want to go there first and then to the town.>

<Not know lighthouse. Sart not leave caves.>

Can you give us a map of the cave complex? Between all of us, we should have covered all the entrance/exits. Also, is there a map of the area between the caves and Moonhaven?

In character Bharash would suggest going back the way he came. It should be safe and will let them pass the ship some of the party are worried about.

However if some players wish to go the other way. Because it is unknown and may be more interesting. Fair enough

I am not sure on how much local knowledge Thursagan has, so he will follow the leader.
Would a dungeoneer roll provide any information on the potential exit or locations?

Sorry, I don't have an overall map, just a general idea of the layout in my head and borrowed maps to fill in specific regions. The layout goes as follows:Entrance -> Guard area (and rat cage) -> Store room (and Necromancer entrance) -> Main room (and alternate exit) -> Elder room -> Old temple.

Likewise I don't have an area Map of Moonhaven, but I got the impression that the cave wasn't all that far away from shore, maybe a 1/2 hour to an hour of rowing at most.

The tunnels connecting the chambers weren't very long, you'd guess that you weren't all that far from where you entered the cave, though from what Laira reports, the cave entrance is out of sight of town.

Thursagan arrived on the scene by foot, so he'd have at least some local knowledge. He would also have a good idea how far they traveled underground, Assuming the tunnels in the alternate exit aren't much longer than what they've seen so far, Thrusagan believes that the alternate exit can't be more than 1/4 mile from the water cave entrance, though it is likely on the other side of a ridge from town.

Hi guys.

Wow, I see things are still going. I'll have to go back and read what happened thus far. I'm glad its taken off.

I hope I didn't distort the story too much from what you had planned...

[bluntaxe]

your game now, so no worries

[harknail]

Since we seem stalled...

Since the original goal was to get more boats, and since there must be at least 4 boats in the cave by now, Harknail lead the way back the way they came (carry one end of Howy's stretcher as he did so). There are no problems until they reach the long damp sloping tunnel that should lead back to the boat cave. The tunnel was flooded! That explained why that tunnel was so damp and filled with puddles.

Harknail looked like he was ready to continue, but someone convinced him that if the tunnel was flooded, the cave entrance would be too, and that there would be no way to get a boat out from there.

Assuming the group doesn't want to wait for the tide to go out again (it's still coming in as shown by the slow creep of the water towards them)...

Making their way back to the Goblins main chamber, they try the other exit, this time with Laira leading the way...
