"Do we try to be sneaky? I think the dragon probably found out everything already. I think our best bet would be to walk in, and then talk and act all servant like and we will do your bidding...until we get healed, a plan, and talk to our allies. That is, if she is even by the tomb."
((Would it have been worth our while to try hiding our track, or is it so painfully obvious that dozens of folks have been going in and out of the tomb, despite the whole goal having been to hide them away from their enemies?))

The party find themselves approaching the location of the tomb a sweaty half hour later. Once they crest the hilltop ahead they will be able to put eyes on the destination.
Everyone also notices that the bugbear that was on watch at the top of the hill is no longer there.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I think I should try to sneak closer and see what I can, ok? If I get in bad trouble come help, I can try to fly away if I get into lesser trouble, unless the trouble is the dragon."

"Unless dragon kill all now. She not dumb."
Thir doesn't seem optimistic of the plan but doesn't object.
((Also, which hobgoblins do you mean? There are a few with the bugbear that got to tomb, where those the ones?
Also, @Spider could I get a persuasion roll from Ealu.))

(( Cladmir decision is basically Kroshav's decision at this point. ))
(Hah, yep, it should have been bugbears) ((BUGBEAR. What an odd made up word.)
((This got lost in the bugbear talk but from last week:
Anything special on the way there?
Otherwise, what are you doing as you approach the tomb? Sneaking? Heading in hot? Anything tricky?))

Thir agrees, and growls,
"Kill many, take some."
((And moving it along))

If everyone is ok with that, he will do so.
Sneakiness: 23
Kroshav will nod at his elven friend, and find a place with a bit of cover to wait, ready to rush forward.

Cladmir also agrees with this plan and pulls out his bow in preparation.
"Best of luck."
