Zoveldra casts a curious glance at her hands as well, equally disappointed by missing her last attacks missing. She gives a chuckle, looking around the chamber for any sign of other unpleasant creatures.
There are no other unpleasant creatures in the cave, nor are there any secret exits. However, what Mome does find in the veins of one of the crab petals is a loose outcropping if Garlstone. With a bit of work you might be able to pry enough stone from the rock to sell for some gold later.
(Would y'all like that short rest? I don't want to make the same mistake twice and I'd love to have that second level slot back, but if Aid is going to last a while maybe we just move on)
Alright well you all take an hour for a Short Rest. You are surrounded by the outcroppings of crab petals and the silence of the Garlstone Mine… for a while. Eventually, you hear a loud grating noise and low guttural voices arguing, from somewhere back down the corridor to the fork leading to where you fought Shilek and her crew.
Mome and Zoveldra lead the way as you head back down the path, into the chamber with the ear recess, and to the path you know leads into the room you fought Shilek before. Zoveldra can hear the voices completely, but they are not speaking Common. Can Zoveldra speak Orcish, or anyone for that matter?
And if not, what is the plan going into this next chamber? Sneaking or all going in as one?
((No, but Zo can use Mind Link once she is within 40 ft:
You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances.
As an action, when you’re speaking telepathically to a creature, you can give that creature the ability to speak telepathically with you for the next hour.))
So maybe she goes in first? Or we all go together.))
As you walk into the cavern, the voices stop. You walk out into the cavern to see 6 Orcs standing there, axes drawn. You also notice that a tunnel has appeared that you had not seen before at the far end. The cave wall has opened up like a door, and now sits to the side of a tunnel that leads down. The lead Orc says something in Orcish, then moves closer menacingly, just within 40ft.
Mome mimics the menace. (Ooc fun sentence to write ) She likely has the least experience of anyone in the group since orcs are rarely on the northern seas, so she is predisposed to believe the various wild and negative things usually said about them.
Zoveldra reaches out to the lead Orc with Mind Link, also giving him Mind Link Response.
'Hello. We got off on the wrong foot with Shilek, but are interested in getting back a Halfling she abducted named Anric. Are you perhaps the customers she mentioned?'

Survival: 21
LANDMOP seems to take a large inhale as the creature dies. It begins to putrify as she absorbs a little of its essence to empower herself.
"With pleasure" she says with more inflection and glee than you've ever heard her use before

Aid last for 8 hours so a short rest would have little impact on that. I suggest a short rest.

LANDMOP motions with their head toward the sound and then shrugs
Zoveldra rises from the spot she was resting in and moves towards the sounds, trying to make out what they are saying.
Perception: nat 20+3
Mome also moves in the direction of the sounds, trident in one hand and her shield in the other.

(Sounds like a plan)
Mome gives a gentle nudge to Zoveldra to lead the way. "We will be right behind you and will cover you," she assures her.
Zoveldra nods and heads towards the voices, doing her best to appear non-hostile.

LANDMOP mentions to Zoveldra. "Tell them Shilek and I got off on the wrong foot" offering the Help action
