Fae would nod to Ethan and remain seated by the goods while the rest was hauled over. She’d just sit in silence, leaning her head against the crates while the others finalize their tasks. Fae would just observe from her place. Eventually, she would pull out her journal and quill to begin jotting down notes on how the others were identifying items. She’d also make notes of the inventory they collected if no one else has yet, and jot down some items for her to collect once in town.
Yeemik and the other goblins are led to the cave exit and then the most vocal goblin's eyes glaze over at Arvel's enchanted words. Yeemik hands Arvel the crude map and the dagger with only a nod and then takes the surviving goblins with him, disappearing into the woods.
The raven keeps tilting it's head to look at Zeke and eventually says "Ouu, piece of candy." It almost sounds like a question. As Arvel, the goblins and other emerge and Yeemik hands the fancy dagger back to the warlock the raven comments "Ouu, shiny!"
OOC:
Ok gang, how about this on the crates. For those who are actively participating, please give me either an Athletics check to brute force carry the Lionshield crates down and out of the cave despite the slippery conditions, weight, etc. or give me a straight Intelligence check to think of a smarter way, such as perhaps lowering them down the watery cave from a fixed anchor point with ropes, etc. Ethan can apply some sort of engineering bonus if you have one that you can convince us is reasonable, and if anyone else has any tool proficiencies, etc. that I'm not thinking of feel free to ask.
I'll post the remaining identified items in a bit. Off to do a Harry Potter escape room at our local library.
(Ethanwould have used them in the past when working on heavy/large items, to keep them suspended in the air)
Check to workout a good way to move the crates down to the lower level: 24(+3 INT, +2 for the 5 (soon to be 7) tool proficiencies, and +1d4 for Artisan’s Intuition. You can subtract any of those if they don't apply here)
Question - after this short rest, what's the time like? What time of day is it, compare to how long it would take us to get back to the wagons and take the wagons to Phandalin?
Tarja's efforts display just how difficult it is to move large crates through the cave, especially down the slippery stream and waterfall areas. Ethan and Fae however display exceptional ingenuity in rigging up a rope system with the block and tackle, etc. making the physical labor a minor effort as the team simple guides the crates down and out of the cave. Anyone would be impressed by the speed of the process, and even the artificer would have trouble denying the contributions of the wizard. All crates now outside, the task of carrying them back to the wagons is still laborious, but less technically challenging than the cave.
The remaining of the items are identified and are found to be:
Nice INT rolls. I was rooting for you on that one with the brainy party we have here. You had a block and tackle in your gear? HA, that's fantastic.
Note that I'm allowing the Pearl of Power to also act as a spell component when a pearl is required but not consumed, because why not, it's a pearl.
I'm going to be lazy and keep the time vague at the moment, but it's probably late afternoon and you are definitely risking not arriving until after sundown considering the time of day, need to get back to the caravan, crate effort, etc. That being said it's not necessarily a problem. It probably depends on how dangerous the PC's perceive the road ahead to be before versus after dark, and how accurate that perception may be!
"So," Elra looks to the rest of the party and up towards the late afternoon sun. "Should we push towards Phandalin or just camp out for one more night?"
Arveltries on his new armor and cloak. Using a small mirror from his disguise kit, the charlatan admires himself from a few angles as he shifts through several outfits and faces. He finally settles on Maxieand a blue-and-gold noble's outfit complete with epaulets.
"C'est ci bon!"and the cloak billows behind him dramatically as he checks himself in the mirror.
Reverting to normal, he says "Thank you my friends. I haven't felt like this since...well, just a long time really."
Arvelwalks over and hands Etanthe unneeded leather armor he once wore. As he does, an idea occurs to him.
"Etan, you have a load of spears in there don't you?"
Arveltaps the gauntlet.
"Now, I'm no artificer. But shouldn't you be able to use those spears, some rope, and other such doodads to create some makeshift...stretchers? Litters? What's the word I'm looking for? Regardless, wouldn't something like that make transporting these goods back to the wagons easier? Just a thought. I'm sure you already considered it."

Ethan happily pulls the white and silver horn out and gives it to Tarja, as she sits down to try and workout its properties.
Ethan decides to do the same with the polished agate gold necklace, sitting down beside Tarja.
Ethan pulls out some of his tools to help him measure and study the agate in particular.
that leaves the leather and tankard to be identified, and then for the items to be distributed among the group :)

Knox | Warforged | Cleric | Shadowthorn's Out of the Abyss
"Hey Ethan can I take a look at the other stuff?" Elra asks as she puts the boots down and looks to him.
Elra Skylash - Human Cleric | Vanzaren Tanidoni - Half Elf Wizard
Mindartis Liadon - Eladrin Barbarian | Naivara Siannodel - Half Elf Ranger
Arrila Evenwood - Half Elf Paladin | Callaphe of Setessa - Human Rogue
Katernin Nemetsk - Aasimar Cleric | Melody - Tiefling Bard
Ethan takes out the other items and places them before Elra, as she joins him and Tarja.
"Sure thing. We'll have these items assessed and catalogued in no time."
Ethan smiles as he goes back to studying the necklace.
Magic Items:
David Gearlock | Human | Artificer | Revenge Heist
Knox | Warforged | Cleric | Shadowthorn's Out of the Abyss
(Ooc, if i can use the pearl to cast identify on the pearl. Is that a paradox?)

(Figures)
Arvel seems lost in distracting thought after his inadvertent spell casting. He idly twiddles the dagger in his hand while everyone around him works.

While letting her mind wander, Tarja helps carry some boxes down. (Strength: 18)
Elra also tries to brainstorm a better idea to bring all the crates and stuff out of the cave.
(Intelligence 10)
Elra Skylash - Human Cleric | Vanzaren Tanidoni - Half Elf Wizard
Mindartis Liadon - Eladrin Barbarian | Naivara Siannodel - Half Elf Ranger
Arrila Evenwood - Half Elf Paladin | Callaphe of Setessa - Human Rogue
Katernin Nemetsk - Aasimar Cleric | Melody - Tiefling Bard
Zeke would continue to hold position near the entryway until someone else took up position to make sure they didn't get surprised from behind.
Once relieved, he'd pitch in to help with the boxes.
Athletics: 21
Tarja's efforts display just how difficult it is to move large crates through the cave, especially down the slippery stream and waterfall areas. Ethan and Fae however display exceptional ingenuity in rigging up a rope system with the block and tackle, etc. making the physical labor a minor effort as the team simple guides the crates down and out of the cave. Anyone would be impressed by the speed of the process, and even the artificer would have trouble denying the contributions of the wizard. All crates now outside, the task of carrying them back to the wagons is still laborious, but less technically challenging than the cave.
The remaining of the items are identified and are found to be:
Yeemik's dagger ( Weapon, +1 )
Glamoured Studded Leather
Stone of Good Luck (Luckstone)
Horn of Silent Alarm
Pearl of Power
Tankard of Sobriety
Nice INT rolls. I was rooting for you on that one with the brainy party we have here. You had a block and tackle in your gear? HA, that's fantastic.
Note that I'm allowing the Pearl of Power to also act as a spell component when a pearl is required but not consumed, because why not, it's a pearl.
I'm going to be lazy and keep the time vague at the moment, but it's probably late afternoon and you are definitely risking not arriving until after sundown considering the time of day, need to get back to the caravan, crate effort, etc. That being said it's not necessarily a problem.

Shaken out of his reverie,
"Well, we should get what we can of these supplies back to the wagons, providing that they've waited for us, and then push on to Phandelin."
"We can rest on the wagons."

Arvel tries on his new armor and cloak. Using a small mirror from his disguise kit, the charlatan admires himself from a few angles as he shifts through several outfits and faces. He finally settles on Maxie and a blue-and-gold noble's outfit complete with epaulets.
"C'est ci bon!" and the cloak billows behind him dramatically as he checks himself in the mirror.
Reverting to normal, he says "Thank you my friends. I haven't felt like this since...well, just a long time really."
Arvel walks over and hands Etan the unneeded leather armor he once wore. As he does, an idea occurs to him.
