Gerty is so grateful to Mikel she is stunned for a second, but then proceeds to get him unbound and out of the pie. While William rushes to embrace and comfort the poor boy, Gerty tries and figures out what they can do next. "Luke, Rikaria - thank goodness you're alright, Sasha see if you can close and bar the pantry door, I'll see if I can find where that last goblin disappeared to."
If someone disagrees she doesn't argue, she just starts feeling along the wall in the NE corner that she last saw the goblin.
“Gerty if you are ok, I can come with you. I do not need to take a minute to recover. Unless everyone thinks it wise to stay put until we as a group are ok to move?”
"Um, alright, a hand perhaps?"Sasha says quickly as she moves to block off the door to the pantry, possibly by turning over a shelf or something in the in there.
Feeling along the NE corner of the wall, Gerty can see there is a faint gap running from floor to roof, indicating the edge of a hidden door of some kind
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rikaria jumps to her feet. Somehow she feels as healthy and energetic as she ever has! All her pain is gone and she's ready to get moving! That said, she's not entirely clear on what's happening. Why is Gerty feeling along the wall? She'll follow along for now. The others have more information than she. But she can help Mikel.
She rushes over to Mikel after William. Once William has loosened his embrace of the boy, she says "Mikel! I'm SO happy to see you! Are you hurt anywhere?"
She looks the young boy up and down for wounds to patch up, broken bones to set, etc... And if she spots any, and if he lets her, she'll do what she can to treat them.
Searching the room, William finds a ceramic jar with a lid. Inside the jar he finds a bunch of coins, and a piece of parchment paper rolled up and secured with a a piece of red material.
the coins are- 25gp, 100sp, 500cp. At the bottom you also find a decent sized emerald.
Rikaria looks over Mikel, cleaning off bits of gravel and vegetables. He doesn’t seem to be injured more than some scratches and scrapes, likely from his fall in the well. He has only one boot on. He is very happy you found him and explains how the goblins told him he was invited to their friends born-day party, and how they stuffed him into the pie pan as a surprise.
Hearing Mikel's story, Rikaria is ready to berate the boy about stranger danger, but decides now is not the time. Mikel is probably scared enough and he'll likely get plenty of that when he gets home to his mother. Instead she says "You just sit tight, okay buddy? We're gonna get you home."
She notices for the first time as she begins to dust Mikel off that she herself is filthy. Her skin and clothes are caked in mud, stew, goblin blood, her own blood... She momentarily laments the loss of her best clothes and futilely rubs at a stain on her sleeve and... The stain disappears! Gawking, she brushes her hand over the rest of her sleeve and finds it as clean as when she put it on that morning! She runs her hand from her head to her feet and in about thirty seconds, both she and her clothes are good as new!
"Well THAT'S convenient!"she says appreciatively to herself.
She does the same with Mikel and his clothes and wonders what else she could do. She looks down at the goblin she killed and that funny twitch of intuition tickles her again, telling her that if she chose to, she could transform herself into that goblin. It's a macabre thought, killing a creature and then wearing its face... But if it will help them get out of there, she'll happily do it. She tells the group as much.
"If we can't go back through the well the way we came... If we need to move further into the dungeon, I can do it as a goblin. Don't ask me how, but I could. I can scout ahead for us, or try and lure the other goblins away while you all make your escape... I don't know if that's our best option. Honestly, I don't know what our best option is... But I wanted to put it on the table."
Luke takes his share from Will “Damn Will….Not bad for our first real adventure…err granted we aren’t out of the clear yet eh…” Luke walks over to the pantry door and listens for noises on the other side but not before saying to Rikaria “Maybe let’s wait here together and learn a lesson from all this. You’ve Uhh experienced near death once already…” Luke says sheepishly
As the pantry door is blocked off Sasha hurries over and hugs the now miraculously clean Mikel. "We were so worried for you Mikel." She says, giving the boy another hug.
"You can turn into a goblin?" Sasha says, looking at Rik with a confused expression. A lot of strange things had happened since they all went down that well. She felt she herself had been granted powers she didn't even had explored yet. The hex and that green beam from her wand had come instinctively as she tried to save Rik. "You're very brave Rik but it sounds dangerous." She says, looking at the others. "Perhaps we should just catch our breath here for a while before we try to get out?"
"Should we take those for ourselves? Perhaps the goblins stole them from one of the farmers?" Sasha says, heitating as Will offers her some of the coins he found. "Keep those I think, I'm just here to save Mikel." She says with a quick smile.
Rikaria listens to Luke and Sasha, then replies "If one of these goblins escaped like you say, then he might come back with friends. If they were preparin' this much food, there must be enough goblins down here to eat it all. If we wait too long, we'll find ourselves besieged on both sides. We know there's already something waiting for us behind that pantry door, but we don't know yet what's ahead through the secret door. I understand it's dangerous, but our options are limited. It's either face whatever's back the way we came head on, or try to make a break for it through the secret door. Or wait here and hope we can hold out long enough for help to come, but I wouldn't count on that. I'm all for catching our breath, but we need a plan, and we need to make a move soon, before we're boxed in."
She looks at Sasha and William and says "It seems all three of us have had some kinda awakening since comin' down here. We should start by takin' an inventory of that. As for me, I seem to be able to give y'all a hand with things if I concentrate on it. Make things more likely to go your way. And I already mentioned being able to change my appearance. A few other little things like lightin' torches and cleanin' things. And... I think I could hurt someone if I really wanted to. Like... REALLY hurt someone..." She goes quiet a moment, looking at the body of the goblin she killed.
Then she asks the two of them "What do y'all think you could do, if it came down to it?"
Luke shrugs "Do as you please Riki. Just be careful and don't go getting yourself knocked out again. Gert here needs a rest and Will looks a little tired too. Sasha and I can hold things together until you come back, if you choose to scout ahead"
"Um, not sure Rik, I feel kind of spent right now."Sasha says, looking at her fey wand. "I think I would be able to shoot more of those green beams though, and perhaps some other nifty tricks." She adds, waving her wand, making another pie appear on the floor between them. (Minor Illusion)
Gerty slowly sits down with her back against the wall. Now that the adrenaline has subsided, she realizes how hurt she really is. She gives Luke a smile and looks at the mess that is all over her, her parents are going to be so upset. She has a tendency to, well not be neat, and she told them she'd try her best today and this has to be the worst she's ever managed! It takes all her energy not to cry. The fact they found the poor boy is the only saving grace.
"Rik, be careful if you go ahead, I don't know if that's the best idea, what if... what if something happens?"
Luke turns to go to the door and sees Gerty collapse to the ground. Luke goes over and bends down next to her. "How are you Gert? That was pretty intense for some kid farmers eh?"He brushes some dirt off her shoulder and offers her his rag to wipe her face
Rikaria sees Gerty collapse to the ground. She sees how everyone is beat up and bleeding. She wants to cry, but instead she says to Gerty "Gerthiel... You're hurt because of me. If I hadn't lost control... You were talking to them. We might have been able to negotiate if it weren't for me... If I can do something to make it up to you and get everyone out of here safe, I'll do it. Whatever it is. Clearly y'all need a rest but Will just patched me up good as new. I feel fresh! I could go on ahead in disguise while y'all rest. Get a sense of the path ahead, maybe even convince the other goblins that we've all ran off somewhere else so they don't come here lookin' for us."
She looks around to the others and says "Y'all fought for me when my own stupidity nearly got me killed. Now I can do this for you. But I won't do it if any of us can come up with a better plan."
William shows the emerald to Luke. Wait... how about this one? Do you think it's worth something?
As he hands out the coins, he replies to Sasha: Yeah, you are a farmer. So am I. They stole it from us andnow we're taking it back. If you want to I can keep your share, but who knows when you might need it?
To Rikaria: It seems Oghma has granted me the power of music! I can heal a bit, but I feel I can inspire others even in such a way that they are stronger! I can tell real good jokes and my insult are so good they could actually hurt you. Oh and I could do the same trick as Sasha, but better! A 5ft tall dwarven Paladin in full plate with mean looking axe appears right next to her.
Gerty smiles up at Rikaria, "Do not think this fight was your fault. I figured this would have turned into a fight anyways, and you got the drop on them! Please, do not fret any longer, and I think it might be best to wait till we are all healed, and then if you wanted to move ahead a bit to scout, just so that we aren't too far back, that would be good." she chuckles a bit, "would be fun seeing you as a goblin."

William will search the kitchen for anything useful (like goodberries, not weapons).

Once the door to pantry is blocked with shelving , you feel safe enough to rest, patch yourselves up and prepare.

William gives his friends their share of his findings. He hangs on to the emerald for now.
Is the red material wax? Do I know the seal if it is?
