I was hoping to use the Mage Armor scroll anyhow. But alas, no knock for this sorcleric.

 OoC: You could cast knock from the scroll with a successful DC 12 CHA check. Or hold on to it; are you planning to take any more sorc levels? (Are we expecting to still be playing at level 4?)

"I will gladly take those arrows." Cass says walk toward the loot pile then says thoughtfully, "I believe the goblins should be eradicated as well."

(I'm enjoying this campaign a lot.  I know it's only a one-shot, but if our DM is interested in continuing after we finish this one, I'd be interested.)

 (Same, if we want to do another shot from Tales, I'd be happy.)

As the party is waking up, they can see Geth sitting cross-legged, as if meditating. Suddenly, something shifts, and Geth is no longer the one sitting there; instead, Boh is seated where Geth was... except, Boh is also where Boh was. After a few seconds, the seated figure shifts again, and there are two Antons in the room. Then two Cassiuses (Cassii?). Then a figure that looks mostly like Obsben, except is at least a foot taller, followed by a slightly shorter Scar, and finally back to Geth. The warlock chuckles, his raspy voice bubbling over with mischievous glee.

Having been fairly oblivious to the others' stares until now, he finally shifts back to reality as he hears Boh and Cassius debating the fate of the goblin prisoners. "I'm indifferent as to whether we ultimately free or eradicate the goblins," he chimes in. "But don't we have some people to rescue from some other goblins? It seems foolish to free these goblins before we've liberated the hostages. Though it might pay off to question them, with a promise of freeing them later if they cooperate."

OoC: I'd also be up for moving on to something else when this is done, if the DM is up for it! It'd be a shame to have to stop just when our characters are becoming more defined in themselves and in relation to each other.

"I know its not very honorable, but nor are goblins... we could question them and then kill them. Do any of you speak goblin by chance? Their common is usually horrible."

Not to be totally outdone by Geth, Anton wiggles his fingers a bit and creates a 5 foot image of a perfectly trimmed schooner.  Another wiggle produces a sloop, then a barque, then a brig.

He then creates the image of a chest overflowing with gold.  

He finishes with an image of a knot that confuses anyone who looks closely at it:

(OOC: At this rate, you guys will hit level 4 before the end of the dungeon. I am also willing to continue through the TOTYP playlist after this. My schedule opened up a little bit. Both of my Waterdeep games fizzled.)

As far as the goblins in the prison, they were removed before you returned with Calcryx as the prison was going to be used to house her.

(OOC: Awesome!  This particular PbP game is going much better than the others I'm doing.  Keep up the great work!  Having a blast.)

(Anton has his Darkvision up, has his ki points reloaded and is ready to go when everyone else is.  He also takes his share of the coin/gems (19gp/50sp/5gp gems) listed above.  If the troll loot is divided, he'll take his portion of that as well, but he doesn't put any pressure on splitting that right away.)

(ooc: idk if this was missed but...)

Now that everyone is well rested, Cassius checks the kobolds if they have any hand crossbows -- their bodies and if they had some sort of armory or loot pile.

investigation if needed: 17

The kobolds were armed with slings and shortswords. And not even quality ones at that.  In the surrounding areas you don't find any loot piles or treasure hoards. There is only one locked door leading out of the throne hall, the rest are unlocked and unguarded. 

Since you've entered where the kobolds use to live  the kobold territory, this is what you have explored.  

OoC: Nice Fog of War!

Since everyone is awake again, I would suggest me and Anton will collect the dragon hoard ( room 37) if something unexpected happens we should be fast enough to outrun most threads. While the rest of you collect the jade dragons from the dragons old cage (bottom right corner?) and then we regroup in the hallway that leads to the glowing mushrooms to move into Goblin territory. How does that sound? 

"Works for me."

Anton follows Boh.

[OOC: Now that traveling is mostly done for till Thanksgiving, I should be able to post more frequently., Yea! I am also good to go and continue on adventuring with this great crew and awesome DM as long as they are.]

Scar grumpily wakes up and does some stretching, working out the sores from the previous days battles. "Obsben, thank you for holding the loot," sliding a finger along the edge of his greataxe, "and I trust you to hold onto my share."

Turning to the rest of the group, "I care not what we do with the other goblins, they are beneath me anyway. We should continue on with finding the lost humans we set out to find."

On the troll's body is an ornate ceremonial dagger (worth 125gp), two silver rings (15 gp each), and a silver amulet bearing a dragon (worth 15gp). Scattered across the bottom of the sarcophagus is 220 sp, 50 gp, and 4 spell scrolls: command, cure wounds, inflict wounds, guiding bolt.

 OoC: 1st level cleric spells, the lot!

 But imagine the profit if sold! 

Anyhow, in emergencies I guess there are those!

 OoC: You could cast knock from the scroll with a successful DC 12 CHA check. Or hold on to it; are you planning to take any more sorc levels? (Are we expecting to still be playing at level 4?)

Oh wait! It /is/ on my spell list. And I can cast things at 2nd level now, so it should be fine. I do plan to take it at least once again, if not Bard. Look forward either way to keep playing with you guys in the next tale after this.

The above coin mentioned included the coin from the troll. Though there were items just worth flat out money, those have to be sold at a later date, and can be divided then. Unless someone wanted/absconded with the non-scroll ones. 

 Obsben nods wherever appropriate, but gave off the impression from time to time to about of sorts. Just a little. "Before move on, and now that I am fairly refreshed. Who would like the, uhm... enchantment.. enchantment? Boon? I like the word Boon. Let's say the Boon from last. Any.. takers?" He asks as he got into his dancing position. As soon as others are taken care of, he will use the scroll version on himself. Though it took him a good half a minute of "hmming" and "hawing" over it before things really clicked for the halfling. 

"We should be careful taking the straight narrow path though. No telling if they had enough time to reset it before things... escalated." He grimaces then faintly smiles. 

Step right up! Get yer free Mage Armor here if'n ya need it. 

( ooc i am gone for the moment, i will recollect Mage armor once we regroup. )

Boh and Anton- Something interrupts your trek to retrieve Calcryx's "Hoard." As you enter the first room you encountered goblins (campfire, just left of the 39), clinking in the next room gives you pause. You see two hobgoblins slowly moving through the hall. The first kneels besides a dead goblin, examining his wounds. The second walks toward the room where Calcryx was being held it's longsword held it both hands. Both have shields strung over their back.
