After some thought, the wood elf hits a few points. "First," he says, "I don't like the idea of waiting for them; we're not sure they know we're here. Second, I don't like the idea of negotiating. These goblins have been preying on traders coming up the road, and a King Yeemik won't stop that. We need to put them out of commission. As for the trap..." He furrows his brow in thought. "As tempting as it is to kill the goblins with their own flood, we still don't know how that trap is set up, let alone how to spring it. I'd rather not plan to use something we don't know how to use." He frowns for a moment. "That's a lot of negative, and not much positive. I suggest we take the stairs and try to find that flood trap, and decide from there if we want to use it." He looks up at Serwa. "What do you think?"
"Seems like the most straightforward idea, and with the least variables. It also is one where I can stay in the action, so I'll admit some bias there. I say we do it. The more time we spend deliberating, the more chance those goblins actually get organized, or get jumpy and kill our man," Serwa answers, evidently having made up her mind. "Let's go now, north, and finish what we started. Might have two regime changes in one day. This got so political."
She moves to take the lead, perceiving herself as the most armored and durable of the group, despite her earlier having fell under the attack from the wolf.
"Yep, I'm ready...Aster, we will likely need your healing abilities. If you stick with me, I'll do my best to keep you safe." Tomora says readying her shield. She will act as Aster's bodyguard, giving him as much cover as possible and trying to intercept enemies that may attack him.
"I appreciate that. I will be here for you. all of you. But there is only so much damage that can be reversed with bandages. So dont charge into battle mindless!"
ooc: A character can only gain hp from the healer feat once per rest. so he can only heal himself and Tomora. Also since we did some sort of reset, i am not 100% sure about the amount of uses aster has left on his healers kit. If i remember correctly he used it on Arto, gave Jon one for later treatment and has recently healed Serwa and Xianon. so he has 6 uses left?
Tomora will cast Produce Flame to shed a little light (10', 10'). She can snuff it out instantly if needed. She stuffs a torch in her belt for quick access just in case.
"This might be a bit safer" aster casts light on a pebble he picks from the ground. he "extinguishes" the light by closing his fist. "I can quickly stop it and it keeps your hand free" Light causes light for 20/20ft

“Yeah, that’s going to be easier to turn on and off. Let’s go snuff the light out of some goblins,” Serwa says, adding, “It’s been a while since I threatened to kill something. Tomora is stealing my thunder as the scary one in the group.”
Heading north, This cavern is half filled with two large pools of water. A narrow waterfall high in the eastern wall feeds the pool, which drains out the western end of the chamber to form the stream that flows out of the cave mouth below. Low fieldstone walls serve as dams holding the water in. Two smaller passages lead west, one curving back down to the main tunnel and the other leads to a bridge that overlooks the main tunnel and leads to another tunnel that seems to bend to the left.
Serwa says quietly, “If there’s some mechanism to drop those damns, it’s probably around here. Of course, we could always Tomora’s plan and try to trigger them ourselves, but the hostage might not do so well if we suddenly hit them with a flood. Might want to find and secure the device that triggers it at least, if we can figure out how.”
„I doubt that the hostage would get wet. The water follows the cavern which leads right to the exit. So the eating chamber has to be on the other side of the bridge.“ Aster will get a bit closer to the brige and listens/looks for any sigh s of activity, blocking his light should he see something. perception: 3 + 4
"I agree. The goblins would stick to the high ground while flushing out their enemies," the elf says, nodding to Aster. "We'll find them - and the hostage - across the bridge."
That slight smile returns as he watches Aster try to scout ahead. "That light of yours may be enough to fight by, my friend, but you're not going to see them before they see you." The elf moves toward the bridge himself and peers into the darkness.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tomora extinguishes her flame, relying on her darkvision and moves toward the end of the pond where the water spills out into the stream. She examines the dam, looking for any mechanism to release the flood or a way to disable it.
(not sure if its Perception or investigation will roll a d20 then add bonuses): 19 +3 for Perception, +0 for investigation.

Though not as well suited for it, Serwa also looks for anything that could be a mechanism by aid of the light provided by her companions. OOC: Rolling perception with disadvantage due to dim lighting.

Xianon isn't convinced that releasing the flood will actually accomplish anything, and says so to Aster. "Stay here," he adds. "I'm going to take a look down below."
Both he and Aster have checked the bridge, but if he's wrong and there's something or someone down below, Xianon doesn't want to alert them, so he tries to keep to the shadows.

(oh, I am assuming we are splitting the coin, correct? 150 cp and 27.5 sp each. Someone can hold on to the frog statuette, until we can sell it)
That sounds fair to me, I will add it to my sheet.
"I am more of a talker than a thinker. You are right Tomora. I can do whatever, sneaking out or not. But it has to be a given that Serwa stays, right?

Knowing that he's the eyes in the dark, the elf falls in behind Serwa, ready to go.
