They graciously accept the metal (coins) you have offered and thank you as well for the information regarding the location of the gems at the mouth of the cave. They are friendly to you. If you want to ask anything of them, you can try a persuasion check otherwise they just want to find a way home.
The xorn shrug. They tell you they found some food but mostly the way is blocked by water. They tried to go over it but encountered giant mindless predators and heard the sounds of violent conflict further still. They indicate this was to the east.
BTW, Did you guys take the boat?
It's a ten-foot-long wooden boat is tied to a ledge near the water. Intricate, flowing knotwork carving adorns the sides of the craft, which tapers to a point at both ends. Two oars lie inside.
Koselig listens to the translations but doesn't have much to offer by way of getting the Xorn back to their home plane.
"I wish there was more we could do for them. If we find a portal we should let them know just in case they can use it."

"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."

It's a deal. They'll follow along using earth stride and on your signal they'll pop up and help you. In exchange, send them home or banish them, back to their home. Done.
You spend ten minutes searching the crystal cavern. Most of the crystal formations are inexpensive minerals but you do find 500 gp worth of uncut gems behind a large crystal formation in the northwest corner of the room the xorn stashed away for a meal.
(Yah that’s why I was using rudimentary sign language style above kek)
”let’s try to leave some piles and back up a few feet and see… maybe they will let us pass?”

"Please ask them what they can tell us of the caverns they have searched." Sparhawk suggests.
“fine Terran, might there we anything of interest in these caves you have seen? As well we seek the rip between realms that is source of the trouble…”

Ooc I thought I took boat but that’s when I assume it was in the box form and could fit in backpack
(Yes I believe you told us it was a foldable boat, and CalaQuindi PC posted we took it.)

Yeah, I was under that impression. I'm subtly trying to get you to look closely at it so I can call for an investigation check.
Does anyone know banishment?
(Once the creatures head out, we take a close look at the boat, trying to determine if it has any interesting properties!)
If we had a cleric a long rest would give it to them
If you tell them that they might agree to tag along u til you can get one, maybe even help out with a threat if you like.
Roll investigation
Would love for them to help out.

Do we want to search cavern ? Anything of value. Likely not but never know.

Do we go for a boat ride?
