Flint agrees with Alaric, “That’s right, splitting the goblins up should work well if you can take out the one left in the hut.” Turning his attention to the slope, Flint says “Lets’ hope Alvar and Eraminus’ scouting was as successful as yours.”
As Flint waits, he attempts to make sure he is well-hidden. He finds the nearest large tree and attempts to contort his wide frame so that he is completely obscured by its trunk.
Stealth check: 3
Flint realizes there is no way from him to hide without a leg, shoulder or pot belly noticeably sticky out from behind the tree. With a huff, he gives up and simply kneels.

Alvara takes the offered hand to get to her feet, smiling in appreciation at the gesture.Following Eraminus, she makes her way down the slope towards Flint and Alaric.
Moving as quietly as possible along the trees, she reaches the bottom just in time to see Flint's attempt at hiding behind a single tree. She barely manages to suppress a giggle at the ordeal and whispers, voice betraying a hint of a laugh, "Pssst... we're over here guys."
Flint is surprised to hear Alvara’s voice. He looks around to locate her and then approaches her and Eraminus through the trees. He says, “If yer sneaking, then it must have gone well for yer two up there.” Flint looks at Alaric, “Seems Alaric found two goblins in a hut by the entrance to the cave and maybe more inside".
Flint asks Alvara and Eraminus, “What did the two of yer discover?”
Stepping closer so they could all speak more quietly, Alvara relays everything she has sensed through the rat.
"From what I've been able to see through Archie, Barek's map is totally accurate.There's a river running through the tunnel, with a narrow ledge alongside it, probably just wide enough for us to fit. After entering, there are stairs leading to the right, with dogs in that direction - they seem to be chained up, maybe a guard dog for the goblins or a pet. There don't seem to be any goblins at the mouth of the cave or along the tunnel so far, but there are definitely several goblins somewhere, maybe deeper in the cave. Archie's still in the cave, he should be coming up to the large room at the end of the river." Not realizing she had been speaking faster and faster, Alvara takes a gasp for air when she reaches the end of her description.
Eraminus follows Alvara down and walks at a regular pace. He figured if he wouldn't be able to not make noise when walking in his mail. He stood silently while they talked before asking, "So what is the plan to take out the first two?"
Flint speaks in a low voice to Eraminus and Alara. He says, “That Archie is an impressive creature. It is nice to know that Barek’s intel was accurate.”
Flint gestures to Alaric, “The two of us have been thinking about how to take out the wee devils in the hut quietly. Maybe a minor distraction can entice at least one of them out of the hut to investigate.” Flint points to himself, Eraminus and Alara, “The three of us can strike from a distance while Alaric sneaks in to strike from close up. Hopefully we can take both out simultaneously”
Somewhat obscured under his gear and the folds of his chainmail shirt is a long javelin honed to a fine point. Flint offers it to Eraminus and says “I am no master of ranged combat, but I do have some magic I can use. If you would like to use this, I bet you could do some real damage with it.”
Eraminus grabs it by the shaft, checking the balance of it and nods, "One shot? Well if we don't get them on the first go then we won't need to worry much about a second." He smirks and lightly claps Flint on the shoulder.
Alaric nods, then speaks quietly, "If we are lucky, they will both come over to us. If not...I'll do my best. Of course there's always the chance that they both see me first... If that happens, then perhaps blocking the cave entrance may be the best option."
Eraminus nods, "I agree that it would be preferable to take them out before moving into the cave rather than trying to hold them at the mouth. Shall you lead the way?" He glances towards the cave, "When we go in, I'll either need to follow immediately behind someone or light a torch beforehand. I can barely see as right now anyways."
"The hut is outside the cave, over there" he says pointing. "Shall i try to sneak to the hut, while you all wait hidden nearby, but at the edge of the forest. When I'm in place, make a sound to attract their attention. Hopefully, one or both will come to you. If only one, the other's attention should be on it's companion, and i will deal with it.... Is that what we've agreed?"
Eraminus haphazardly hides behind a tree, his mail jingling softly. He looks at Flint and Alvara before glancing towards Alaric. He bends over and picks up a rock to throw near the hut to draw one of the goblins out.
Flint secures his hammer to his belt. He touches two fingers to the lightning bolt etched on his shield and gives a quick prayer to Thor. When he finishes, he points to Eraminus and then kneels, trying to find cover in the undergrowth.

Alaric waits for the others to attract the attention of the guards. What can he see of the guards? Are they showing any sign of being aware of the party?

Eraminus nods after squinting to see the hut, "That sounds fine to me, if all goes well then both ought to be dispatched."
Eraminus attempts to hide (Stealth): 5
Alaric will attempt to circle round near the opposite side of the hut, and approach in cover if possible. [[ I'm not really sure where the hut is. ]
The hut is about 25ft away from the river, on the East side. Alaric, can I get a stealth check.

Alaric, hearing the noises from the trees thinks to himself, Whatever they're doing, it's good. Sounds very real. A bit early, but keep it up!
Alaric is now within arms reach of the hut, while the others are about 25ft away.
