Arxius would have frozen just inside the doorway as she took in the room. A slight tremor running through her body. Her breath is shallow, her eyes darting from one thing to another.
I meant to ask earlier and forgot - I wanted to pull the more talkative goblin aside and show him the map.
Can you show me where Balek is? What can you tell me about what's in these rooms?
Once Talien is done with the chain, if he finds one, Alten asks
Everybody ready? I still think it is good practice to clear as we go, no matter how trustworthy or untrustworthy we think our gobblin friend is. I say we clear the southern room first and then work our way north.

The goblin points to the symbol of a large tree on the southern portion of the map and says, "Ek.. Belak usually here... other rooms for him too though... watch out for his pets... theys like to throw needles at us..."
Pointing to the maps to show the team what the goblin told
Do we want to head straight for the grove where Balek probably is? Or do we want to clear as we go? As much as I would like to get this over with, I still think it is safer to clear as we go.
Either head straight for 56 or start with the southmost 49, work northward, clear 52-50 and then work towards 56

As you head east out of this set of chambers you enter a wide set of galleries.
Nodules of luminescent fungus hang from the ceiling and walls and grow in clumps on the flagstone floor. The light illuminates portions of grand base relief carvings on the stone walls that aren’t covered with the fungus. The carvings depict dragons in various stages of raining fire down upon terrified people. Soil and compost cover half the chamber’s floor, which allows a variety of feeble plants to grow. A bench containing simple gardening implements stands along the western wall.
Talien you spot three closed doors. One to straight ahead to the east, one to the north, and one to the south. You also spot a large furry creature laboring just outside this door. The beast does not seem to notice you as she uses a sickle-like glaive to chop away at overgrown vegetation at the base of a statue....
Talien will rush up to the beast and make his threat very clear. Stand down or die. He says, pulling his sword back to chop the beast. (If the beast does not drop the sickle like glaive, he will attack)

You hear the mechanism lock in place and try to turn the iron ringed handle to make sure it doesn't budge... it is locked fast.
Talien will look around for a chain amongst all of the supplies in the room

What kind of chain are you looking for?
Preferably a thick and sturdy chain, that could be used to secure a door.

You find a chain thick enough to do this in the room where the goblins were making wine. It was likely used to hoist small barrels.
The goblin points to the symbol of a large tree on the southern portion of the map and says, "Ek.. Belak usually here... other rooms for him too though... watch out for his pets... theys like to throw needles at us..."
Thank you friend. Hopefully we can conclude our business shortly and come back to release you. If we can't, I'm sure Balek will eventually be by.
Jump back to real time with Talien looking for his chain.

Where to next?
Talien takes the chain, placing it in his pack. He does not secure this door.

Talien, just finishing stowing the chain pulls out his 2 handed sword but says nothing.

Let's head out the eastern door and then plan to head down to the round room at the south end on the map. Alten will take the 2nd position
