Immotichey nods to Evrik. He then turns and marches up to the goblin. "I don't know what your story is, but for the kindnessyou showed me in the cell I will give you another chance. You may not have been looking to be part of a group, but we're joined to each other for the moment. You're going to need to get over that and at least act in a manner so that we can all get out of this place. Once we're out, be on your way and never look back."The lizardman gives the goblin a long stare. As he waits for an answer to his offer, he notices a few of the others beginning to make their way out.
Cade eyes narrow to dangerous slit. And while a hand falls on the hilt of his weapon, seeing the others out of the corner of his eyes gives him pause enough to let it go with a heavy sigh through nose. He is quiet for too long trying to find the right words. And in being pushed back, he forgets them altogether in favor of recovering his footing.
"... That wasn't kindess. And you don't need me. You folk more than proved that. Now go. I'll... buy time." On that solemn note, Cade sits down, sets aside his tetsubo, and inclines his head as if intending to sink into some meditative state.
After the drow and quaggoth were dealt with, Arthasis took some time to regain his focus. The fight exhausted him but for the first time the warlock felt the power offered by the pact he had struck. “I grow stronger.”, he whispered to himself, exited by the prospect of what was to come, if he did continue to harness the fiend’s gifts. Savoring the moment he noticed everyone else going back upstairs to start a heated debate over actions of the goblin and the quaggoth.
The words from Evrik calling hm to get Taevi finally prompted him to snap out of it. “What is a Taevi?”, Arthasis asked before he observed a spiderling running at him. Not quite sure what to make of it, he suppressed the urge to just stomp it into the ground. “Whatever.”, he sighed incredulous before casting Mage Hand. Following his commands, the spectral hand grabbed the spider and dropped it on Evrik’s shoulder. "Keep this thing away from me in the future."
The warlock then joined the rest upstairs just as Chubby was starting to move out. He was tired of this place as much as of the antics of some of his fellow prisoners, but no matter how much he would like to drain the life out of the quaggoth, he knew there were more important things to consider. New guards would come sooner rather then later and he had no intentions to be around when it happened.
Turning towards the goblin as Arthasis fell in line behind Chubby and Crispy he said, “If you want to die here, by all means be my guest. But judging by your recent valiant behavior you will most probably run after us eventually. So why don’t you refrain from this nonsense and just follow the rest.” He couldn’t care less about what would happen to the goblin but he worried that the creature would lead the drow straight to them, if he fell into their hands alive.
As Arthasis makes his way back up to the crowd with Taevi in tow, Evrik, agreeing with Crispy's sentiment, turns back toward the group and says, "I think we need everyone right now. But regardless, it's time to go..."

Taevi would resist, making every attempt to assault Arthasis, though it also seemed perturbed by Jimjar as well. Hissing at them and attempting to lunge at them violently, fangs bared. Taevi would not relent.
Now as I have no true idea of what you are all intending to do from here for sure. And there's too many variables, I unfortunately need you all to come to a consensus on what you're doing on discord. I'll wake up extra early today and tell you what if any rolls need to be made.
After having the spider dropped on Evrik’s shoulder, it still insisted on going after Arthasis for some mysterious reason. It jumped off the dwarfs shoulder and went straight form him, all the while hissing violently and showing its venom-coated teeth. The warlock hesitated for a moment as he tried to figure out what provoked this kind of aggressive behavior. ‘What did I do to this spider?’, he thought, when suddenly Jimjar crossed in front of the spider and it showed the gnome the same affectionate treatment. ‘There is likely only one thing I have in common with this creature.’, Arthasis remembered while mumbling, “Great minds… Great minds…”. He would have to think about the meaning of all this.
The warlock extended one of his arms and evoked Mage Hand, directing the spectral hand to throw the spider over the side of the bridge. “I told you to keep this thing away from me.”, Arthasis said casually.
Crispy watched the mage hand grab the spider, and toss it over the edge. You could literally hear the whistle sound effect it made as the arachnid careened over the edge and fell into the darkness below.
"That was savage. I hate spiders." She said, snorting in amusement, her eyes following the fall of the spider. "And snakes."
THE PLAN:
So, the plan going forward, whoever wants to come, let's head towards the lift cart, get in, and descend to the bottom and get the Hells out of here.
"Octavian!", Evrik yelled as he saw the spider falling to the depths. "I liked the little fellow. Not sure what got into him though. Thanks Arthasis for at least not killing him outright." He looks toward Crispy, "Now, let's get to that lift!"

"No, why deprive it of a few moments of unbridled terror as it fell to it's death?" Crispy snorted in a quick sarcastic laugh as they headed to the lift.
Chubby just stands there, dumbfounded, unsure as to what the heck was going on with the little spider being tossed over the edge of the chasm. "The lift down to the lake is over here, Chubby points."
I'm not exactly sure where the lift is on the map, but here is the info that Chubby was given back on post #71, describing where he saw the lift:
As chubby would leave the messhall, which was not far from the place where Arthasis was, in fact it was just a twenty yard walk straight ahead. Perhaps it was the adrenaline in the dwarf, if he experienced such things, but his ability to notice things was uncannily high, and before he would walk back to where the prisoners, he would see that the area he was in had a massive floor, while still eventually leading to an edge and a fall, had enough space for all of the prisoners easily. Another stalactite large enough to house an interior was jutting down, only a little farther to the left. A set of doors, led to what he could only assume would be more rooms, and what looked to be a staircase going down, carved into the edge of the wall. Between the two Stalactites, just barely within sight from the angle he would be at, was what looked to be a lift, guarded by atleast Two Quaggoths.
"Well, that spider had it coming.", Arthasis stated dryly but he somehow felt the behavior of the beast would spell trouble for him down the line. "Let's move out of here. I am sick of this place."
You all begin heading towards the Lift that Chubby saw and described. It wasn't very far away from the stalactite you were all in. As you all walk, this platform much better lit than the other, you all manage to barely see the doors in the wall on the far side of the platform, the mess area that chubby was in, also inside the tunnel wall itself. From here, you can see in the far distance, near what appears to be another guard post and a dip, where there is likely another exit or entrance of some kind perhaps 150 yards off. You see several more smaller stalactites, that might hold a single room at best, but that attach naturally to the platform, proving to be anchors. You also see there's a small gap between the bridge and the waterfall that could still be jumped through, roughly 40 yards behind you. The lift, was roughly 20 yards in front of where you were heading. You take notice that the lift can hold, at most, 4 people of medium size at a time, max.
And just as you're noticing this all, the two guaggoth guards notice your group, no one even attempting to be stealthy. They begin to charge.
Initiative: 6
In the distance, a horrid buzzing, droning noise could be heard, as if it were not far off. Giving Evrik flashbacks from the cell.
Finally arriving at the platform where the lift would lead them downwards and hopefully away from this outpost, Arthasis watched as the two quaggoth guards came charging at them. “You creatures will most definitely not stand in my way. WE ARE LEAVING!”, Arthasis shouted at them. Although the warlock felt fatigue form the constant fighting, he focused to the best of his abilities hurling an Eldritch Blast at one of the beats. (Quaggoth #1) Attack: 12 Damage: 8
After hearing the last former prisoner take their leave, Cade opens his eyes once more and lets out a long breathe. "... Shit. I should've told them about the kid."He frowns, and looks to the way doorway they left out of. After a moment's pause, he shakes his head and rises to his feet. "Tch... No. No excuses. Let's end this nightmare." He looks to the hole and faint grin "And lets do it the right way." With that, instead of resting, Cade will get to work awkwardly carrying the priestess corpse up from the hole and into the top floor.
Failing that, he will settle for the head if it still lies down there, set it next to him, and re-position himself at the top level with her head in one hand and axe in the other, accepting the inevitable.
