[OOC: I didn't mean you had to keep throwing! If it was your intent to do him harm, you would eventually. One hp of damage wakes him up. Are you doing that too anyone else?]

"I am sorry, Eldeth.  You must wake up.  We have to go." (in dwarvish)

Tanis slaps Eldeth with all his strength if she isn't awake already.  (Strength 10, so 1 damage).

Also, do you want everyone awakened?

 Buppido, Eldeth, Sarith, Petmailer and Vrah were out.

You've woken Vrah up and Eldeth

Once he realizes that there are some allies that need help, he goes swimming to Petmailer.  Shoowaa will gently bonk Petmailer on the coconut with his stick.  

if I need to roll damage: 0

Umm... When you're trying just to wake someone up, you usually don't use your weapons. Petmailer had already taken damage and you just took half of his remaining hit points. Why don't you redo that as an unarmed strike. 

Phodoxia sets her pack down and rummages through it, putting her clothes and armor on, and strapping her daggers to her belt. Once she's geared, she closes and shoulders her pack again.

Seeing the unconscious fellows respond to significant pain, she pulls out a dagger and heads for Buppido.

(Leaving time if anyone wants to stop her from waking him)

Tanis struggles internally as he watches Phodoxia approach the unconscious Buppido.  Nothing good will come from leaving that derro alive... except for avoiding the stain on our souls... perhaps that is all we have.

Tanis subsides and does not intervene, feeling resigned, but more determined than ever.  He helps Eldeth (assuming she is awake now) to her feet and straps on his studded leather if he has time - many others have done so.

Assuming someone wakes up Sarith (Tanis will not do so himself), he starts trying to rally the group to head west as soon as possible.

Perception check using 60' darkvision on any other nearby threats:  9

"We have to get as much distance between us and this place as we can before they realize we are gone."

You do not see any other nearby threats in the cavern. I think the consensus was to use the western passage as the exit. The crew who worked down here the other day saw that there are also passages at the north and south ends of the cavern. 

Eldeth, Vrah and Petmailer are awakened (I'm retconning that Petmailer only took 1 additional point of damage). Some of you are getting a little dinged up. Shoowaa still has the injury from the drow's crossbow bolt. No one has woken up Buppido and Sarith. Apart from slapping them awake, they could also be carried. Vrah and Derendil could each easily carry one of them.

In this moment, Stool sets off its spores again to allow you all to commune and communicate with each other regardless of the languages you speak. 

The party members who fell unconscious experienced horrible dreams or visions in the short time they were out. They all saw the same thing, which was an image of these caverns as part of a massive dead body, rotting and festering. It was crawling with hundreds of these fly creatures, eating its flesh and spawning out of its wounds like maggots. 

Petmailer comes to with Shoowa tapping him on the skull.  He reaches up and grabs the stick and says "I'm awake.  What the hell happened?  That buzzing noise.... then it all got fuzzy."  He lets go of the stick and shakes his head, clearing the cobwebs.

He hears Tanis and stands up shakily, "Yes, we need to move.  Now!"  He looks over to everyone who was affected, location, status of the situation.  "We may want to leave the Derro and the Murderer.  Up to you.  I pledge to help all of the rest of you to freedom.  Let's go!"

“Sorry thought you were still sleeping. I’ll make it up to you.”

Shoowaa conjures 10 goodberries and gives Petmailer 2 of them. 
<oooh! Can we use them as bait for monsters? Maybe we can give spiders some nice snacks and befriend them!  But anyways yes lets leave this place behind, I don’t think those big fly guys are friendly or animals.>
While walking with the group, if he ocasionally snacks on a goodberry (up to 4 of them if possible, then he would have 4 left)

(Ah yea I didn’t see he was awakened already, he’d go for a slap instead)

Petmailer gobbles down the goodberries appreciatively, saying "Thank you, that feels a good bit better, and fills my stomach too!  Thank you for doing that.  I'll protect you with my sword arm and my bow whenever I can.  Now, let us go, our freedom awaits us!"

Phodoxia eyes the derro, dagger in hand. She has not forgotten its threats, nor failed to notice that no one else has made a move to wake Buppido or Sarith. As the cloud of spores covers her again, she thinks to the others, <He is going to hunt us down if we leave him here.>

She looks incredulously back at Shoowaa as he starts handing out berries. Where did he get those berries? Her mouth waters, remembering she's had nothing in two days except a bowl of mushroom broth last night. But she shakes her head. They have to leave right now. Picking up the unconscious Buppido with a oof of effort, she staggers her way after the others.

"Just leave him." Vethna thinks to the others, nodding to Buppido. "Better to be coming after us, as the drow likely will be, than in our midst. We have to protect against outside threats already, having an inside threat is simply foolish." She leaves it at that though, heading to their agreed-upon exit.

Kisiki attempts to translate some Lizardfolk wisdom into common; it loses some of its poetry: "When an alligator is chasing you, any tree will suffice." He quotes this sagely, and expects that his lesson makes sense, though he can't see anyone's faces. "A murderer is useful for murdering enemies. Others will watch them during rest." He then pokes Sarith in the sternum with one of his sharpened claws, just enough to draw blood and provide enough pain to wake him up.

The shaman then puts his hand on either Tanis or Sarith's shoulder so they can lead him through the darkness.

Phodoxia ponders for a moment, then sets the derro down. She is visibly seething, teeth gritted. <If it were up to me,> she thinks, <I would cut his throat right now.> It doesn't seem like she is trying to communicate with the group, more like this is a thought she's having to herself that the others are overhearing.

Taking the dagger, she cuts him just slightly across the wrist, enough to do the minimum damage to waken him. If he awakens, she will gesture for him to follow the group, and then take off after them.

Buppido jumps upon awakening, then turns around, snarling for a moment before he comes back to his senses. He checks his pack and equipment, pats himself down, then follows quickly after the group.  

Tanis would have Kisiki put a hand on his shoulder as they head out, not Sarith's, not trusting Sarith to lead Kisiki properly.  It's not as bad as with Buppido (who had threatened to kill people in their sleep), but Sarith, had attempted to slip away on his own rather than being a team player during the fight with the ooze.  And he's apparently a murderer (?), though he could be falsely accused.

The party, including all escaped prisoners, heads out the passage to the north west (correct me if I'm wrong). 

Sarith says (through Stool's mind meld) "I know these tunnels, but they are very confusing and difficult to follow if you are not familiar with them. Where is it we want to go? The Dark Lake? That is where Sloobludop is, Shuushar's home."

Shuushar chimes in (mentally) "I would very much like to return home to my people. If you can get us there, I can probably procure boats for you all to continue on wherever your paths lead you by way of the Dark Lake. The waters will lift your spirits and carry your bodies with them."

Buppido enters the conversation "We should be going to Gracklstugh. The shortest way there is through the south passage. But I can get us there from the Darklake. We could get supplies and weapons there and come back and wipe these Drow scum out." He looks to Sarith and Petmailer "No offense."

Sarith says "None taken, derro." and looks at him with disdain. "If we reach the Dark Lake, I would want to head west from there, traveling by boat as far as possible. They cannot track us across water. If some of you want to go to Gracklstugh, you can go there. I intend to help Stool get back to the Neverlight Grove. They need to be reunited with their people and the myconids can offer us sanctuary. I know you don't trust me. You don't have to. But I know these tunnels. You need me and we are all better off together. If I know Ilvara, she will want to hunt us down with whatever forces she has left after that attack."

At the mention of the Neverlight Grove, you all feel intense feelings of both delight and longing coming from Stool and you see visions of a beautiful iridescent garden of fungus and moss.

Jimjar enters the conversation at this point. "Personally, I think we should be headed to Blingdenstone. But I don't object to the Dark Lake. There are routes from there to any number of places, including Blingdenstone. And Sarith is right, they can't track us across water."

 Eldeth has been quiet. "Dammit. I hate not knowing where I am. I want to get to Gauntlgrym and reunite with my people, but that is a great distance away. It is farther west than even the Neverlight Grove. I vote for the lake, because that gets us started heading west. Blingdenstone would get us to the surface sooner and away from these blasted Drow" She looks to Sarith and Petmailer "Sorry. Present company not included."

"I think the grove should be our destination." Vethna speaks up, patting Sprout's head. "Sprout here has helped us greatly and it feels right to head there, especially as it leads us closer to Eldath's homeland. I do not trust most of those other options and I definitely have no desire to return and try fighting the drow we escaped from. Get away, stay away, and live the rest of our lives away, that is my plan."

Shoowaa listens to the plans and thinks for a bit, much longer than he has thought before. <So many choices!  Many go to the lake so… I think….we should go to the dark lake and get rid of our trail and make it hade for them and then head to Sprout’s little village first.  And then maybe decide from there?  I would like to go back to the surface as soon as possible. I really really really want to go back to the feylands.>
