Willow would look to Moralesh, "Unless companion say otherwise, we help you all. He already vomit acid today, and I change shape too. We are only minorly fit for battle. But with more, we have more numbers. Be careful of leader, Bugbear nasty. Do little orcs know you come at all? Maybe use speech to lure one at time to death if able later, thin numbers. I speak to them."
Until the group decides to move, she would be crouched down giving a fallen wolf the once over with the scimitar she had taken. Somewhere between skinning, somewhere between cutting bits of meat she shoves under her mask. She would offer some to Moralesh, "Hungry?"
Sylharice hears the suggestion,he thinks a bit and says " Nah I don't think they do at all.. hmmm its a plan luring them one by one but..what if they ll come all of them instead?"
After shaking Graemes hand Moralesh went back to the stream to drink some water. “Home? Home is with Master. He’s a Paladin and traveling was very common for us. The only other home I had was destroyed when I was young. Like Willow says trees make a good home since I left the company of Master.” Seeing Willow return with a weapon he gets up and moves to the entrance. “You killed some guards out here I see.” Picking through the dead bodies he pulls a battered scimitar from under one and a small shield from where it laid forgotten in the attack.
“Oh, Thank you Willow. I believe I will have a little.” Moralesh takes a bit of the raw meat from her and starts chewing. “Y’know Willows right about us not being at our best. But with the right plan we could bring them down here. The thing about that path going is only wide enough for 1at a time so they come down 1 at a time. Even harder for the big guy.”
Willow looks up and down the path, yawning. "Won't send everyone. Would send more scouts. Scouts die, maybe hold up. Be ready with ambush, might be hard to win. Unless they have pebbles for brains, charge down path into arms. Boss stay safe, betting."
"I have maybe one spell left in me after being tied up here for few days. Would like to use it to heal someone but I could possibly make it much harder for our enemies to get to us. Maybe make that sloping path a choke point? Entangle the whole slope and down into our attack zone." Moralesh stops, thinking about what Willow had said earlier. "You heard a bugbear up there? No wonder they dragged us here so easily. I think that making them come to us is safest as we know the terrain here and can better prepare. But if someone was to go up the path we may see that it is not necessary. We also have better vision here as a whole."
Looking over the others Moralesh gauges their abilities. "Looking at the 5 of us I would say having Graeme and Willow near the path and the rest of us behind for support would be good. Willow can speak their language so maybe call down some help. Maybe say the wolves aren't behaving."
Willow nibbles on a few small cuts of meat, and snickers at what Moralesh said; "Misbehaved animals. One ran away. Say we need hunters to get them back. Waylay when they come look in cave. Or anything else."
Sylharice returns after scouting aheand and reports '' well it seems that in about 20 ft or so there is a side passage leads to the west and straight ahead there is a bridge that leads to another path about 20 ft above..' which means our only option is to go through the west passage'
After a lengthy strategy deliberation, the team decides that it's best to try and pull enemies from the west path in small groups. Graeme volunteers to make the first run.
As Graeme moves from the chamber Moralesh moves to the east side on the path preparing to cast Entangle when he sees the enemy following Graeme. “Miss Willow could you stand on the opposite side so we can surprise them?”
As Graeme begins to make his way up the passage, a low rumbling noise catches the groups attention. The passage is suddenly filled with a mighty roar, as a huge surge of rushing water pours down from above! Moralesh, close to the wolf chamber throws himself out the way with impressive ease. Sylharice and Graeme are not so lucky and they both react too slowly, the water rushing over them and washing them away before they can react. They tumble along helplessly in the flow of the water. Norwin is caught in the water as well, unable to get out the way, but somehow he manages to reach out a hand and grab onto something, holding on for dear life until the rush has passed. Inside the wolf chamber, Willow Rain escapes the worst of it as she skins one of the wolves. A little water laps over the steps and into the chamber.
Almost as quickly as it came, the water calms again, and Sylharice and Graeme both find themselves 30ft away from the cave mouth, having been dragged there by the water. (3 bludgeoning damage each)
Graeme eventually regains his footing and lifts himself out of the water. A small trickle of blood drips into the river from the top of his head. As he walks back toward the cave entrance, Graeme feels around on top of his head until he feels the gash left by... what he can only guess was one of the many rocks he smashed against on his way out of the cave.
As the water slows and moves past Moralesh stares in unbelief "Hey you guys all okay? It's didn't do that while we were here" He looks back up the slope. "I wonder if we triggered something? Miss Willow do you remember it doing that before?"
Willow would shake her head to Moralesh, "No, but the anger was heard. Little river maybe not natural, keeping beast or spell man who make it alive!" She would be particularly wary, looking out to the party. "Not thinking that is nature. Am happy was not washed downstream like you two, see blood trickle. Blunt force worst wounds."
"Hmm That is what I remember too." Walking back up to the entrance Moralesh peers into the darkness. "Wonder if we could see what caused it if we had more light? Also if that is a magical being maybe it's best to leave it alone? After all they did have us imprisoned here, not wanting to go through that again."
“Well, if you two have been here for a couple of days, I think they would have seen Gundren come through here. But I don’t know...” Graeme would like to look around the mouth of the cave to see if he can see any drag marks leading into the cave.
Sylharice manages to catch a breath after being flushed out from the cave.He turns to Graeme " Ouch my back hurts its like the cave itself doesn't want us in! On the bright side its not a magical effect that caused it.."
The water calms and then flows away, leaving the path inside the cave covered in puddles. The flood happened not long after Sylharice returned from his short scouting mission, and it takes a bit of time for you to regroup and regather your wits. Ahead of you, the track still stretches off, climbing steadily into the dark of the cave.

Sylharice suggests " I can see at the dark quite well as if is a day..I can try and scout the path upstream if u want .."

"Aye tha' sounds good to me. Lure them down an whack 'em in smaller numbers."

Graeme heads down the west path.
As Graeme moves from the chamber Moralesh moves to the east side on the path preparing to cast Entangle when he sees the enemy following Graeme. “Miss Willow could you stand on the opposite side so we can surprise them?”

Sylharice stays behind 5 feet of Moralesh having his ray of frost ready on the first enemy that ll appear.

”Sylharice, you alright, lad?”
As the water slows and moves past Moralesh stares in unbelief "Hey you guys all okay? It's didn't do that while we were here" He looks back up the slope. "I wonder if we triggered something? Miss Willow do you remember it doing that before?"
