Does anyone know what Vyerith was?  I await a response from anyone who knows while I try to figure it out myself.

Fjolnir looks over at Gundren, "How able are ya to walk?" He scratches his beard, "...and what is if about Wave Echo Cave that they want your map for? I'd heard it was boarded up."

Okay so we found the map and are rested up I think we might want to clear the castle but if we go back to Phandalan the dragon will get the drop on us so we need to head back gwt Gundren healthy enough for a fight and strategize on how to take this dragon down

"I was workin my way up to it, Gundren, but Hymir is right." Fjolnir sits a moment. "We'll definitely escort you back to town, and a ride in a cart, if your legs need rest still, but we have to go the long way; we gave an old feller our word we'd help him once we made sure you were ok."

Gundren replies to Fjolnir. "Oh, I'm hurtin' bad, friend. They been beatin' me for days. Just a little rest and I'll be ok to walk I think. The mine was lost, but me and me brothers found it! We're trying to restore it back to working order, but the Black Spider got wind and moved in. He wants us and the map gone, so no one bothers him or finds out about it, and he can 'ave it all to 'imself, I reckon."

Then to Hymir, "I'm alright waitin' here for you to clear the castle, but I'm no fighter, lad. If'n I were, I wouldn't have hired you folks and Sildar to escort me and me goods! HA, ha, ow!" He holds his side in pain. "If it's all the same to ye, I'd like to get back tae Phandolin sooner than later. I don't want no part in no dragon business."

Well old friend if it's all the same to you if we take you back to Phandolin before going to kill the dragon he will swoop in and murder us all before we get there so you hold tight here then you can wait in the cart if you'd like but there is no option to just go and drop you off.

Quietly so gundren doesn't hear." There's a case to be made that we may be able to make the trip to phadalin and back hete before venom fang notices if we are caught we could say we thought it was in the original agreement to get him to safety before teturning. And if we make it perhaps we could enlist the aid of Sidlar." "Of course if we don't mske it we're ****ed." Best clear the rest of this and decide later

"I think we should go this systematicall and check the section to the south." Az Emberi goes to check the southern door

Az Emberi and Hymir both place their ears against the SOUTH door, although the clanking of pots and pans and utensils and orders being yelled in goblin can easily be heard from the SOUTHWESTERN door by everyone.

The two of them unlock the large iron door and it opens with a loud squeaking metal on metal grind. This is the South entrance to the castle that you saw in your trip around it. The door here is sheltered from direct outside attack. Arrow slits ten feet above the ground overlook the path.

You all hear the Southwest door open, Fjolnier and Dirk stand on opposite sides of the 5' hallway waiting to pounce the goblin coming to check on the noise.

I need:
initiative rolls from everyone.
Stealth rolls from Absinthe and Krodmad.
Anyone who rolls higher stealth than a 9 may participate in a surprise round and take one turn (Dirk and Fjolnir so far)

The western portion of this large hall ends in a wall of rubble, but the remainder is still intact. This must once have been the castle’s banquet hall, with a soaring ceiling twenty-five feet high. Two large wooden tables with plain benches stand in the middle of the room, and a brass brazier full of glowing coals is tucked into one corner. Dirty dishes, half-full stew pots, moldy heels of bread, and gnawed bones cover the tables.

There is one goblin who is notably fatter than the others, he seems to be barking orders.

Dirk and Fjolnir may act, as well as Krodmad and Absinthe if they roll higher than 9 for stealth.
