Lia sighs and looks around too… She thinks she saw one of the goblins drop their bow?

Chasing the goblins didn’t seem wise, but she would step aside in case others wanted to.

If no one takes up the chase, she will try and help everyone loot the fallen goblins… Un-tasteful as it might be, she would strip them of absolutely everything they have. Even their stinky armour might fit the little ones. And she would scour the place for arrows, bolts and javelins etc.

She would use prestidigitation to help clean anything they find and want to keep.

"AH CRIPES!" Thom yells as he rushes up to the others after realizing he shot Galingal. As he gets closer he notices that his armor protected him. Thom says "uhhhhhhh sorry mate. Terrible shot. It won't happen again."

Thom thinks that they got enough of them to forget about the ones who are fleeing. 

"Maybe they'll think twice next time, yeah?"

and Thom assists with the looting of the goblins.

"Still wanna split the arrows, Stena?"

Galingal raises an eyebrow for a moment at Thom's apology, not sure what he's talking about, until he turns around and sees the arrow lying on the ground where it had deflected off of him.

He reaches out and lightly grips Thom's shoulder and nods. While the others strip the goblins over their equipment and armor, Galingal moves a few steps in the direction the goblins went to keep watch. He wants to make sure nothing else sneaks up on them while everyone is busy.

"Naked goblins might show drow we were here," Galingal finally says. "Stick under moss?"

Stena moves to where the others are, checking briefly with Eldeth on the way.

She does a quick count.

"This isn't eight. The rest got away?"

She ponders the implications of the goblins escaping.

((They coming back with help?))

Not sure the roll: 12

It's certainly possible that they went to get help, but this is the first indication you've seen of any parties of goblins down here. If there were two or more parties moving about separate, it might be hard for them to find one another to come back for you, but if there is some sort of goblin outpost of village... who knows. You've a few more hours of sleep needed to get your rest, however.

Eldeth nods at Stena from where she's working on looting the goblin boss.

The Prince assists in moving the bodies, and Sarith mutters and clicks his fingers, conjuring up four lavender flames that float along and provide illumination as you search the bodies.

Stena looks at the gemstones and says,

"That solves the paying for the boats. Split the arrows with you Thom?"

She pokes around a bit and sees if she can make some shoes using the leather armor saying while she works,

"Probably should take the weapons, if only to sell."

Otherwise she isn't interested in the goblins' things.

((Any chance of recovery of fired arrows? Both ours and the goblins'? Sarith has four in him!))

If no one grabs them, Galingal will make sure to take one of the crude packs, and put the tinderbox, whetstone, and the rope & grappling hook into it, all of which they will need soon. He'll grab one of the javelins as well to use as a combination walking stick, probe and weapon.

While the others finish, Galingal will rest. Not the full mediation, but will focus on his body and the injuries it sustained from the goblin's attack and push the pain out of his mind.

(Short Rest if allowed).

Lia is pretty easy about the loot and gear. She doesn’t really need much herself. If Topsy is happy with this, she’ll try and trade one of the bows for her hand-crossbow and bolts back. Is that something she can use just as well?

Lia would love to have the musical pipes too, if no one else needs them?!

((Let me know if that works out?))

And like Stena, Lia would probably suggest they all take as much of the rest as they can reasonably and comfortably carry between them or stuff in the packs.

Lia looks around for Topsy, but doesn't see her... or her brother.

The fact that the fleeing goblins may tell other goblins or even worse drow about us didn't cross Thom's mind until just now. 

"Drat. That's a good point, mate." Thom says back to Galingal.

He's very glad that Galingal didn't feel the arrow that Thom shot him with!

Thom looks and responds to Stena, almost like he thinks it's his fault "Yes ma'am. A bunch got away. Yes let's split the arrows if you don't mind, yeah?" Thom takes 16 and hands the other 16 to the dwarf.

Thom would also want a small crude backpack, and @Spider, would you allow Thom to try and craft some type of larger kilt from the goblin clothes to wear vs. the extremely small loincloths he currently has on? It is very uncomfortable under his armor.

Oh, can Thom make a check to determine if the 10 days of rations are edible?

He doesn't care about anything else, including the gems, book, pipe, etc. Maybe in a different time he'd grab those things. But all he's thinking about is getting out of here. 

He says to Lia "you good, mate?"

He would also check in with Sarith and the Prince to make sure they are alright. Especially Sarith. "Mate, did we lose you there for a second?"

Lastly, Thom says "Yeah mates we best be hiding if we're gonna stay here the rest of the "night", yeah?" he makes quote marks with his hands when he says night. "They might be coming back for us, you think?"

Thom doesn't notice that Topsy and Turvy are gone!

OH! Thom also says to Lia "Mate i don't think it's meant for playing!" and he laughs. (talking about the pipes. he assumes it is a smoking device.)

“Topsy.. I’ve got a… Topsy?!… …. Thom? Galingal? Have you seen Topsy? Or Turvy?!…”.

“Topsyyyy!!?… TOPSY?!!….”. Loud and clear!…

She’ll spend a few moments calling for and looking for Topsy. And asking everyone if they’ve seen them. Are they the only ones missing? She’ll do a mental headcount.

Everyone will be well aware she’s looking for them…

Now Thom notices.

"Oh snap, no mate I haven't." 

He joins Lia "Yeah mates. It's ok, they're gone, come on out now!!!"

((Give me a Perception check too, Lia?))

If it makes a difference, Lia will also pay particular attention to any small dark footprints in the glowing moss…

Perception check: 13

Lia picks them up heading in the opposite direction to where the goblin fight was... And also notices the waterorbs are gone too. The foot steps lead off the moss down the tunnel that you came up earlier in the evening... and even now the darkened moss is beginning to glow again. 

“Who can speak to Topsy?! Stena? Someone? Follow me!…”.

Lia casts light on her lyre and holds it in front of her, lighting the way. She calls gently to the twins in a calming voice as she heads in that direction…

”Ask them to wait! To come back!…”, she urges whoever comes with her and can translate…

She will play some quiet calming music…

Lia, you you come to a fork in the tunnel, and at something glowing up ahead to the left. Approaching, you see it's bits of plucked moss that has started to glow again, arranged in a pattern that doesn't make sense to you.

((OOC: Has Lia lost sight of the twins (nat 20)? Can Stena or whoever came with her read the symbols? Are the twins stationary or continuing to head away? Faster or slower? She would know if they can hear her. How far away are/were they? Did she see which way the twins went? Is she still in the tunnel they had travelled before? How far has she travelled from the others? She made a scene of heading off. What have the others done? Is anyone with her? Did anyone follow?))

Galingal opens his eyes, realizing rest will have to wait.

His first thought is to tell them to let the twins go. If they want to wander down here, that's two fewer mouths to look after. But they've taken the water orbs with them and those are valuable.

As he unfolds his legs and stands up, he looks around the group to see if Stool is still here. Or Buppido. Or the big warrior, Lex.

"Maybe the derro took them, or they him, finish things," Galingal says as he follows after Lia. "Calling out attract attention. Attention we don't want."

He secures the pack on his shoulder, and takes off with Lia.
