Patched up with what makeshift bandages, Sildarsits and speaks quiet tones, "Now, I know things look nasty, but I feel we've got a lot of them back there. They're only to grow again if we leave them unchecked... But I understand; we're not exactly fresh either. We can go back in the cave and finish off the scum, or head to Phandelin. What's your thoughts?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sildarflexes his arm, seeing the extent of movement before feeling discomfort and straining the bands, "The last time I saw Gundren, we were in the midst of being ambushed. Though..." He closes his eyes, "I was... coming to and I heard them... something about taking one to Cragmaw Castle. I mean, if if I'm here, that must've meant Gundren, and that's where he must be."
Sildarlooks conflicted before releasing a heavy sigh, "They must've taken him because his brothers, Tharden and Nundro, found something and mapped it. They found the entrance to the Wave Echo Cave..."
Aldreric, you remember the records of Phandelin in its heyday. More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the 'Phandelver’s Pact', by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge, where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin prospered as well. But then disaster struck when orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path.
Despite all resistance from the allies, they were overwhelmed by the orcish hordes and the caves were seemingly lost to time... until now it seems.
Sildarcontinues, "we were to go to Phandelin. Use it as a base of operations while we find out what remains in the cave, see if any trade could be revitalised, bringing the old town back to life. It seemed to be only a good idea, an old comrade Iarno Albrek has settled in Phandelin. We were in contact, and all seemed well but I haven't heard anything in the last couple of months..."
After listening intently to Sildars words, Kharnyl remains silent t for a time. With a sigh he speaks, at last, "That is quite a lot of new to digest. You make a solid point about these grobis. Gundren seems to be in grave danger, but pursuing him now may be too late. We must try to save him, but we cannot squander the opportunity to stomp out the infestation here in this cave. I think we should finish what we started here." He gestures to the cave with his hammer. "What say ye?"
Kharnyl lays his hammer on the ground before him, changes something in Dwarvish and the item takes on a faint blue glow, before fading in another instant. (Blessing of the forge). Hefting the mighty hammer, he resolves to return to the depths of the cave and eradicate the goblin presence within.
"Remember to bring a torch" he offers the humans and Flutter. "I'd gladly lend one, but all I have are candles."

With determination reignited, you all charge back the way you came. Ignoring any scuttling or skittering, you come across the room off two pools were you almost fell previously. This time, the room is well-lit and scampering footprints are heard as a loud booming voice shouts commands of urgency that are not in Common, and none of you understand.
A bugbear pointing turns to see the group arrive, "Aaah, it seems the weaklings have come to Klarg! We not running! You die now!"
Klarg manages to side-step out of the way, the wolf weaves with feral swiftness. The goblinssquawk and growl as the strange magic floats and sticks to them, making them easy to spot!

With a mighty swing, Rouaims for Carnage the wolf. It flinches at the tiefling's speed and the axe glides through the wolf's flesh. There's a glooping splattering sound as both halves slump to the ground.
=========
Klarg bellows a roar and charges for Rou- the murderer of his beloved pet! Melee Attack: 16Damage: 11 (piercing) - RESISTANCE = 5((amended sheet))
Klarg'smorning star embeds itself into Rou'sshoulder. A look of satisfaction on a sound hit.
Kharnyl holds his hammer high aloft and shouts, "Moradin stands with us!" With this, the hammer begins to glow faintly white, before he brings the head down hard on the floor of the cave. A glowing white aura surrounds Rou, Sildars and Flutter.
Kharnyl moves to the space where the wolf stood, allowing Sildar entry to the chamber, and raises his shield to block the anticipated attack from his hulking foe.

Rou, grab the soldier. Let's get these two out of here before something else shows up.

Flutter stands mimicking the words of Kharnyl, "I think we should finish what we started here!"
Sildar also stands, a flourish with the crude weapon he uses, "As long as I stand, I continue the work I have started..."
