Torwen looks to the party and says: "what do we want to do go in now or wait?"

OOC: Kierro- did you reset your HP on your sheet from the lay on hands?

“I suppose we should wait, if that’s when Krub believes it’s best.”

OOC: Thanks for reminding me; hp reset

what time of day is it?

Torwen looks at Krub and says: "What time does your clan usually turn in for the night?"

If we are going to wait maybe we should take the goblins spot in the thicket and take care of any that come to relieve the old watch. Or if the other members of the party want to go in we could do that too. The only thing I'm worried about is if we wait - what is happening to the prisoners.

(( It is afternoon at this point.))

Krub looks at Torwen, head cocked.  "Sleep when Yeemik or Klarg say.  Usually dark,"  he says. 

Torwen looks to the party and says: "I dont think the captives or us can afford to wait for nightfall what do you think?"

Victor Speaks up, "We might still have the element of surprise, not to mention information from our friend here, so as reluctant as I am to say this, we should attack now."

Kierro looks to Krub. "I suppose it depends. What does Yeemik or Klarg usually do with captives? Do they typically leave them tied up or do they torture and hurt them? If it's the latter then I would agree with Victor and Torwen, otherwise, we should wait until nightfall."

Faywin says "I don't think we should wait even if they aren't torturing them they could be hurt bad"

 Torwen will move to the mouth of the cave and step into the darkness and see what his dark vision reveals

stealth: 7

perception: 16

Krub looks confused for a moment at all the questions.  "Yeemik bad, hurt tall man.  Klarg give him to Yeemik.  Klarg worried about short man," he says.  As Torwen moves forward to the mouth of the cave, Krub winces, then says hurriedly, "We go now, sneak.  You loud," he says, pointing at Torwen. 

Torwen - you peer into the cave and see that the stream comes from far back in the cave.  You hear the sound of snarling wolves and chains dragging on the floor off to your right.  About 25 ft ahead there is opening on the left, but you can't see further than that.  On the right side of the stream there is a small ledge with a set of steps leading up into the opening where you hear the wolves.  Up ahead, the stream begins to curve to the right and you can dimly make out a bridge about 20 ft above the stream. 

Torwen will relay what he has seen to the party and quietly ask what they want to do. He also asks what marching order they want to be in (quieter person leading)?

Torwen will say: "I think everyone has dark vision except Victor. Do you have the ability to cast light on a pebble that you could hold in your hand so it can be covered when not needed?"

Looking around for a small rock near the stream, one that can easily fit in my pocket, and will shelter it form the cave entrance and cast light on it and then will shove it into my pocket, "I am as ready as I will ever be to venture into the cave, and will pull out my "Lighted" stone when I can no longer see. Thank you for the reminder and to be honest I have never been in a cave before, normally I have left that to the field researchers, but I guess now is as good as time as any."

Krub looks worriedly around, then says, "Yeemik left," he says.  "But more goblins, too."

• Faywind asks Krub, "You mean Yeemik is to the left or is he gone and if there are any traps?"

Krub frowns, thinking hard.  "No traps, just wolves and goblins.  Yeemik - left tunnel," he says. 

Torwen looks at the party and says: " Do we want to go after the wolves or Yeemik first?"

"Wolves chained," Krub says.  "Can sneak past, but food for them better," he adds.

“We could give them the meat we have and then sneak past while they’re eating.”

Victor silently responds, "I like the idea of sneaking past hungry wolves, I am sue they would put up a much more difficult fight then goblins."
