Zerys is able to discern that a group of about a dozen hobgoblins and goblins moved into this thicket, started to create blinds and other makeshift fortifications, but then stopped and headed back toward the Caves.
The party continues along the same route they travelled yesterday along the ridge that overlooks the road, through the strange boundary where the forest abruptly changes into a gnarled, grasping, chaotic weave of vegetation, and out into the ravine nearest the cave you first entered, where you encountered the goblins.
Once again you have that creepy-crawly feeling and you feel like every cave mouth hides someone or something watching your every move.
Pagan agrees. "Let us proceed with caution," he says at the entrance we first came through. "We know the terrain, but there are other factors about." He pulls 2 darts free.
As you head into the ravine with the goblin cave ahead and to the left, Zerys abruptly stops as if listening at or for something. Javon also feels he sensed something. They both direct their attention up ahead past the cave, and also some distance behind and to the left.
It is starting to rain and the temperature has become cooler. Maybe you just heard the sound of raindrops splashing on the tree leaves ... or maybe you didn’t....
Amar quietly notes to the group if we are being ambushed don't go where they expect. Maybe charge the gobos or whatever ever behind us. They're split up we aren't ...

Zerys examines the tracks to see if there's something to be gleaned
Zerys’s Survival check: 23
Zerys is able to discern that a group of about a dozen hobgoblins and goblins moved into this thicket, started to create blinds and other makeshift fortifications, but then stopped and headed back toward the Caves.
Zerys says, "Unusual they started the effort but left. What scared them off? They haven't struck me as the smartest bandits "
Markas suggests that we keep heading towards the caves.
What's the next move?
Enter the cave like we own the place...
Which one? Goblin cave like before?
Yes, that's my position
Might as well venture into the known to start with.
Pagan agrees. "Let us proceed with caution," he says at the entrance we first came through. "We know the terrain, but there are other factors about." He pulls 2 darts free.
"You go first." He smiles widely at Markas.

Markas notices Zerys stop..."What's wrong?"
Zerys listens carefully...
Perception check for Zerys: 18
Although she doesn’t concretely detect something her instincts lead her to believe you are being followed.
It should occur to all of you that maybe the goblinoids are better prepared for your return.
You have not entered the cave yet; you’re still outside.
Pagan takes a careful look and listen as well.
