Sildar nods at Harbin.  "Nice to see you.  I pray things go better between us this time around."

He looks back to T'laren and the confused Leonin.  "What else of your investigation?  You freed the Townsmaster... does that mean you routed the Redbrands?  What of their leader, the wizard Glasstaff?"

"Not him... yet. We did for nearly all of his men, by the count we had, but found where they were keeping prisoners, the Townmaster here, and a goodwife and her two little ones. Didn't want to turn them loose to make it back to town on their own, with at least a trio of bugbears and a goblin roaming about, along with whatever Redbrands made it through our grasp. Brought 'em back to town to keep them safe, and, it was hoped, to tip you off to the False Harbin, though it seems you found that out the hard way."

"I can wrap a bandage as well as the next woodsman, but Keashirryl, do you have anything you can do for Sildar? How are the rest of you feeling? Do we want to finish with Glasstaff tonight? The longer we give him, the longer he has to plan his next step. I've plenty of arrows left."

"I must admit that I am no longer a cub, but I would like to finish the task at hand before resting. If that is fine for the group of course." Says Droknin standing guard by the door. He quickly peak outside to make sure they don't have any surprising visitors.

Keashirryl fell into silence for a while, letting T'laren wrap up their most recent adventures. As soon as he mentions healing, she refocuses her attention.

"I have no proper supplies" she frowns slightly from annoyance, cursing her lack of foresight. "I can take a look, and if I can't help otherwise, I have a potion to spare. I would rather save my spells for Glasstaff."

With that, she inspects the wounds and tries to stop the bleeding. (Medicine: 16 ) If she can't do so without a healer's kit, she will hand over the potion of healing she found around the cistern.

"I'm ready to go back in there. Eager, even" she answers finally to her companions.

[While they are out of dangerous territory, Keashirryl also would share the gold she found way back in the cistern room (post #442), handing out 10 gp to everyone.] 

"We should find the fake before he gets to far. If he is injured then he should not have gotten far. If we catch him then perhaps we can learn more before we run into fight this Glassstaff." Cassuis says as he crosses his arms, moving to look for a place to sit so he can rest as they discuss their next move.

"How long gone is he?", T'laren asks Sildar.

Keashirryl, you inspect the bandages.  You quickly see that Sildar is not exaggerating.  He has a deep slash wound in his side.  The flesh looks... unhealthy.  The wound is soaked in alcohol and he seems to have tried his best at sewing part of it closed, but you can still see some of his insides.  There is a blue discoloration to the flesh inside the wound, raising some question in your mind as to what sort of weapon could have done this?  You are able to tighten up the bandages as he grunts in pain, but unless you part with the potion of healing there is little practical that you can do to help him.

Droknin, you see a faint glow in the eastern sky but it is not yet sunrise.  Somewhere nearby a teakettle is whistling, but otherwise the town is still quiet before the dawn.

"It's been a couple of hours since he attacked me," Sildar says.  "Unless he went to ground very nearby, he could be anywhere by now."

"We don't know where he is then, but good chance he went to warn Glasstaff. We can't rely on surprise, and with the sun coming, the goblin-kin are likely returned as well as that creature in the crevice. I'm still game to go now, if we want...", T'laren suggests.

"Either way I agree that we should act soon. If we wait to long then there is a good chance they could find reinforcements to take the place of those we have already taken care of." Cassius said as he moves towards the door from the spot he had taken.

"I agree with our big friend here. If we are the hunters, I would suggest that we do not delay. Otherwise, we may end up being the hunted." Droknin is ready to leave with Cassius.

T'laren checks his bow and is ready to go.

If the party plans on returning to the hideout under the ruins of Tresendar Manor, how will they approach?  They entered via the secret tunnel, but emerged from the basement stairs in the ruined building.  Through which path do they re-enter?

((Manor?))

((Manor?))

 (You mean go back through the basement.)

I vote front door

(Yeah, through the manor, rather than through the back cave entrance.)

Keashirryl will leave the potion for Sildar before parting, alongside the others.

[The main entrance sounds good to me, too.] 

"Alright now that we are all agreed we should attempt to come up with some sort of plan. I know we need to avoid the goblins and whatever that creature was." 

Sildar takes the potion of healing and greedily gulps it down.  5

He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and stretches a bit to test his wound.  "Well, every little bit helps.  You lot get back down there and finish off the wizard.  Leave the Townmaster with me and I will look after him."

The five of you return to the manor and all look as you left it, as the eastern sky takes on a ruddy glow with dawn just moments away.  Heading down into the basement, the cistern room is still littered with the corpses of the redbrands you defeated.

"Priority is to finish the wizard, if the goblins or the creature with the eye get in the way of that...", T'laren shrugs and fits arrow to bowstring. He'll start moving forward towards the crevasse.
