LANDMOP will take mental note of this

Erix makes sure to get the body of the gnome out of the water.

"Let's bring it back to it's people for a proper burial" he says.

Zoveldra assists, though Erix hardly needs help lifting the small body.

And the pool with the tentacles coming out of it? Leave it or get a little closer?

"Let's stay away from any more creepy underwater monsters, if possible," Elero suggests. "We've cleared out the trolls, and also found something that could help us gain favor with the gnomes.  Plus, it feels like we could all use a rest."

"Agreed, I think the monster will be satisfied with its garbage for now. We should be able to rest safely nearby, or go to the gnomes. Question: is anyone else suspicious that the corpse we found is the real gnome and there is some imposter in place in the city?"

LANDMOP asks out of curiosity

Elero's jaw drops. "I hadn't considered that.  It could be a compatriot of his, or it could be something more sinister." He'll turn to the character who saw the body. "Was it another gnome in similar robes, or did it look like the exact same gnome?"

It’s not the same gnome (good idea though!)

Ok, so if everyone’s cool. That’s the Troll Caves cleared out! Hopefully this gives you some sway when you meet with the leader of the Deep Gnomes in Xanririte

Werz will be happy to be heading out of here, and tags along with you all. I’ll get a d20 from someone for a random encounter back to the path to Xanxirite.

((Do we rest first or when we are at the gnome city?))

My vote is rest at gnome city, but if others are in bad shape, we can rest here.  There may be the possibility of an encounter while resting here, though.
