Aoife yanks on the crank to stop the music playing.
She wipes her face. "They aren't much fun. How many of them have you seen around here?"
Valrieth says, "Well, it's hard to tell. They all look alike to me! There are ten little houses here for them, so let's guess that there are 10 of them."
Val quickly counts off on her fingers. "We just destroyed 4 of them here, and the other 2 seem to have gotten away. I think that there were 2 outside the weaving room where Ilifir tricked the boggles into letting us take Yevelda, Callybon, and Pogo. And we saw 2 more run into the gardens from outside the children's dormitory when Will and his gang triggered the scarecrows. That would be 10. The two outside the weaving room are probably trapped there since the stairs to that room collapsed. Hopefully the two who went into the garden are still there or returned to the dormitory stairs. And that still leaves the last two from this troop. Maybe they're hiding in their little houses here? Or..." Here, Val steps to the door that leads to the workshop (L4) to listen whether she hears anything that would indicate the tin soldiers went through there. (Is that door open or closed?)
Val is pleased that their plan to fight the tin soldiers at the door into L9 worked so well, but she's getting increasingly anxious to get out of Loomlurch. If there's nothing preventing them from getting into the workshop, they could just have Elkhorn bring the other children down the stairs, gather the rest of the kids from the workshop, and head for the exit! But Val has a premonition that it's not going to be so easy.
"i'm more worried about the house than the remaining soldiers" ilifir points out "when it collapses i dont want to be anywhere near in case bits go flying, and i think we could take down another two in short order. although, those flames were the last i've got until i can take some time to reconnect to the stone, i've spent entirely too much time in the air" with that he drops heavily to the ground

This Mug immediately shared with me a transcendental tale of an Infinite Mug that anchors the Universe and keeps it from folding in on itself. I filed this report under "illogical nonsense" and asked why its sign is in Times New Roman font, when it is basic knowledge that Arial Black is a far superior font. I wondered: How did this mug even get past the assembly line with its theistic beliefs and poor font choices?

Valrieth nods in agreement about getting out before Loomlurch collapses. They're so close now to getting all of the children out! Just one more room.
In response to Ilifir, Val says, "Understood. And thank you for all of the flying you've been doing: it's been a great help. The Stars must have guided your hand in your choice of candies in the Goblin Market!" Val gives him a long, curious look with her head cocked a little to the side. She's not sure what he meant about connecting to the stone, but she realizes that there's no time to ask just now. She gives her head a little shake and hops to the door to listen...
Val steps to the door that leads to the workshop (L4) to listen whether she hears anything that would indicate the tin soldiers went through there. (Is that door open or closed?)
Valrieth says, "I can the children giggling in the workshop, so I don't think that the tin soldiers could be in here. I'll get Elkhorn and the other children. Aoife, could you check whether the door to the workshop is locked, and, if so, whether your keys unlock it?"
Val hops up the stairs to the door of L9 and waves to the children. "This way. Quick and quietly, everyone. We're almost out. Elkhorn, pull the door to the balcony shut and bring up the rear. Make sure that all of the children make it into the workshop." Then she leads the children down the stairs and waits for Aoife and/or Finley to open the door to L4.
The door opens and you see three young children are gathered around a wooden worktable. The eldest, a drow boy, prances on the tabletop with a bar of soap in one hand, while a halfling girl and a human girl giggle at his audacity.
A loud splintering can be heard in the ceiling of L4. Parts of the ceiling begin falling and soon this room will collapse completely crushing anyone in it.

Valrieth's summoned beast races into the room after Finley, and Valrieth hops into the room after it. She moves forward ~25' to the first table in the middle of the room to make room for everyone, including Elkhorn and the children, to come through the door and into the workshop. She takes a moment to look around to make sure that there aren't any guards here.
"Alright kids, we're getting out of here" ilifir informs them, stepping into the room "this way to the exit! i think" he jerks a thumb back out the door "if there's anything you want to bring, be quick about it"

Valrieth clears her throat loudly and says, "Um, Ilifir...?" She points toward the door at the south end of the workshop and says, "That way."
"this is why i'm not the one who reads the map" he informs the kids with a wink "that way then!" he walks ahead, and opens the door, spike having returned to his shoulder

(Correct the only way out is either the garden or south exit)
L4 is cluttered with dolls and other horrid toys. Their heads turn wherever the party goes.
Val and Aoife notices that behind the dolls are more boggles. 3 more to be precise. They also sense the destruction of Loomlurch and are moving to the exits.
(OOC: Are you counting the Boggles left-to-right or right-to-left? Are we waiting on Boggle 1 or has it already acted this round, moving toward the exit?)
Seeing the Boggles, Valrieth remembers that they're supposed to get "slippery boggle oil" to trade Squirt for guidance to Yon (when they're ready to travel to Yon). She points at the exit to the south and says, "Finley, quick! Block the door!"
Val says, "Ilifir, can you explain to these Boggles that they'll have to bargain with us if they want to leave before Loomlurch collapses ?"
In Sylvan, Val directs her summoned green fox to block the door that leads back to L7 with instructions to bite any Boggles who try to pass it. She uses her telekinesis to pull the door to L7 shut after Elkhorn and all of the children have made it into the workshop.
Val starts walking toward the southern door and says, "Come on, everyone! We're leaving Loomlurch for good!" To emphasize that she means the Boggles, too, she telekinetically yanks the one who was closest to her toward the south as she walks.
Movement: 30' toward the southern door. Action: Cast a spell Mage Hand (with an invisible hand) and pull shut the door to L7. Bonus Action: (after she has moved) telekinetically pull Boggle L2. Target must succeed on a STR 15 save or be moved 5 ft south (toward from Val). Free Action: Talking. Directing the bestial spirit.
Immediately after Val's turn, the glittering fox (summoned beast) acts.
The bestial spirit moves back to the door to L7 to block any boggles from getting to the door. It stands ready to bite the first boggle that gets within its range.
Movement: Move back to block the door to L7. Action: If needed, Dash to move into position to block the door. If not, Ready an attack, trigger: only if a boggle gets within 5 ft.
Valrieth says, "Well, it's hard to tell. They all look alike to me! There are ten little houses here for them, so let's guess that there are 10 of them."

Aoife perks up. "One more room to rescue the kiddies from? I'm sure we can do that before this place is down around our ears!"
She checks the bodies of the soldiers for any interesting loot. (investigation 16)

The door to L4 is closed.
Val hears the sound of 2 children giggling.
The Tin Soldiers have no loot as they are constructs
Valrieth says, "I can the children giggling in the workshop, so I don't think that the tin soldiers could be in here. I'll get Elkhorn and the other children. Aoife, could you check whether the door to the workshop is locked, and, if so, whether your keys unlock it?"

"Aye, ah'll try th' door." Finley says and he goes to open it up.

The door opens and you see three young children are gathered around a wooden worktable. The eldest, a drow boy, prances on the tabletop with a bar of soap in one hand, while a halfling girl and a human girl giggle at his audacity.

The only exits are the door to the garden (to the west) and the door that leads to L3 in the south of the room?

(OOC: Are you counting the Boggles left-to-right or right-to-left? Are we waiting on Boggle 1 or has it already acted this round, moving toward the exit?)
Left to right and Boggle 1 in the image is its starting point. It has already dashed towards the south exit.
Valrieth: Round 1
Seeing the Boggles, Valrieth remembers that they're supposed to get "slippery boggle oil" to trade Squirt for guidance to Yon (when they're ready to travel to Yon). She points at the exit to the south and says, "Finley, quick! Block the door!"
