[Oop, thanks Sol. I missed that.]

Garroth clears his nostrils again with a final snort and moves away from the filth. Heading north and east he takes cover behind a column. Another chamber opens up with a path continuing northward. Katten and Dran are close behind.

Linar peeks through the narrow openings to the southwest, only to be greeted by the disgusting odor of a privy from each. He has never known goblins to be so considerate in where they leave their filth... perhaps the pallets in the northeast corner belonged to captives...

Elden shrugs off the offer of a knife, I have a few i made, balanced just right. I'll stick with them for now. The pair return to the rest of the group, Vanidur shuttering the light most of the way so only a small illumination shows.

Sticking to the wall Katten makes sure Dran is close by, mindful of the others she stays within range of them and keeps Garroth in the corner of her eye.

"Dran, when Nisser come you you stay with me." She suggests quietly.

Having established that the two southwesterly narrow opening do not lead to anywhere*, Linar moves off wordlessly to the north seeking Katten or Grorth, bow and arrow at the ready. The elf continues to skirt the LH cavern wall and will attempt to blend with shadows if & when he catches up to the big guy.

{OOC: *'Dead ends' was, I thought, implied but please correct me if that's an incorrect assumption, including anything revealed by an observant elf being with 10' of something secret or concealed ('door'-wise.)}

Unless something catches Noc's eye, he will continue with hanging back.

Garroth will hunch down low and go-go-go... skilling northward around the column to the north-east and then 25' northward....

(Keeping movement to 30' increments so he can easily reverse his path if he has to and take cover behind the column again.)

[Chris: it certainly seems to be a dead end, though Linar can't see the end without going farther. It does seem unlikely anything would be beyond the poo.]


Garroth dashes into the room, ready to spring back of need be. The northwest area has a few piles of bedding, but nothing moves there. The narrow passage north continues, and widens out. He spots a 5' wide hole; possibly a passage to a lower level...

Katten and Linar continue their ranged support, bows ready. Dran sticks close to his mother. Elden, using the dim light provided by Vanidur's staff, moves forward with the ever-clinking Nocturno. The human is practically bouncing on the balls of his feet, itching for action. He grins excitedly to the elven cleric as he flexes and clenches his fists. Van maintains the rear guatd, providing just enough light for the human to see by.

Nocturno shakes his head... and thinks "This human actually wants to be here..."

He will pass the time checking the walls... mostly out of curiosity. But making sure to keep up.

"Be careful. No shoot prisoners." Katten warns as she moves forward, choosing to move to the northwest and then hug the north wall.

"Aye... No shoot prisoners... again.... " Garroth whispers and advances north pushing through the narrow passage and when he gets out of it, steps to the right of the hole and has a good look around, knives ready.

Linar follows the LH wall to visually check that there are no concealed passageways and then, on reaching it, looks round the larger cavern to the north.

"No shoot prisoners, Ever." She asserts bow at the ready.

Nocturno will advance to 20' South of the hole.

Garroth moves forward, wedging himself into the small passage. While he navigates the narrow passage, Linar and Katten move to the north; Dran following. Nocturno and Elden move up into position as well, Vanidur bringing up the rear.

The instant the Minotaur is clear he takes a step to one side and spots a pair of goblins nearby! Both Garroth and the goblins seem to be expecting trouble. With a shrill warcry they prepare to advance!

[The goblins are not surprised. Garroth is not surprised.]
[Everyone heard the 'warcry']
[Actions and Initiative please!]

(Sorry my post wasnt clear she was walking along the same passage as Garroth but hugging the wall)

Van will move to the NW alcove in the chamber he is n and check for secret doors. Then proceed to the fight!
