'''Dave''' healed up Adrian as they explored a few of the other paths, one of which was partially flooded and took them past some glowing mushrooms which '''Merys''' determined could be used by a skilled alchemist to enhance healing potions. As they carried on exploring, they were confronted by the javelin-wielding [[Goblin|Goblins]] they had tied up earlier. They seemed to squabble amongst themselves as to how to deal with us, so '''Merys''' casted a spell so he could understand what they were saying. From this, he was able to gather that the [[Goblin|Goblins]] wouldn't harm us if we agreed to leave the caves. Meanwhile, '''Dave''' claimed they could understand what the [[Goblin|Goblins]] were saying while trying to speak to them in dwarvish. The team began meandering back towards the exit of the cave system while the [[Goblin|Goblins]] followed shortly behind, presumably to ensure they were actually leaving. As they approached the last fork in the path before the exit, Adrian dashed in the other direction away from the exit and the [[Goblin|Goblins]] launched all their javelins at him. This opened up the rest of the team to knock out the rest of the [[Goblin|Goblins]], who were already severely injured from their prior battle. They killed two of the [[Goblin|Goblins]] while merely knocking the other two unconscious. '''Dave''' insisted on bringing the two unconscious [[Goblin|Goblins]] with them, thinking they could be befriended and provide directions for navigating the caves. Severely injured again by the javelins, Adrian regrouped with the rest of the team and they carried on down another unexplored cave. | '''Dave''' healed up Adrian as they explored a few of the other paths, one of which was partially flooded and took them past some glowing mushrooms which '''Merys''' determined could be used by a skilled alchemist to enhance healing potions.

The path they took initially led them to a chasm that had no obvious path around, so they decided to try another route. As they ventured down the next path, they discovered cave paintings of [[Goblin|Goblins]] being maimed and killed in various grotesque scenes. They pressed onward until arriving in an area that was littered with the corpses and skeletons of countless [[Goblin]] bodies scattered all along the sides of the path, which was being blocked by a monstrous creature with hollow white eyes that seemed to glow within the darkness of the cave. | The path they took initially led them to a chasm that had no obvious path around, so they decided to try another route.

They pressed onward until arriving in an area that was littered with the corpses and skeletons of countless [[Goblin]] bodies scattered all along the sides of the path, which was being blocked by a monstrous creature with hollow white eyes that seemed to glow within the darkness of the cave. Preferring his odds with the chasm, Adrian dashed back the other direction before the monster had a chance to notice them. The rest of the team followed shortly behind, catching up with Adrian as he was plotting how to get across the chasm. He took out what was left of his rope, handing one end of it to '''Ashe''' before using his [[Monk]] agility to leap across the chasm. Unable to find anything to tie the rope to, he yelled over to '''Ashe''' to hold the rope taut with him so that the other teammates could climb across. '''Dave''' attempted first, but lost their grip and fell into the chasm. Thankfully, the chasm turned out to only be thirty feet deep. '''Merys''' tried climbing across next, but Adrian was too injured from the prior [[Goblin]] attack and lost his grip on the rope. This caused '''Merys''' to also fall into the chasm, but was rescued from damage by '''Dave''' casting a spell to feather his fall. | ||
'''Ashe''' was able to leap across the chasm with ease, so her and Adrian lowered the rope to pull out their other teammates. As they held the rope to pull '''Merys''' out, '''Dave''' found a way to climb up along the rock wall and out of the chasm. '''Merys''' tried climbing the rope, but the added weight of the unconscious [[Goblin]] he was clinging to proved to be too much and he fell back down after making it halfway. '''Ashe''' yelled at him to tie the rope around his waist instead of trying to climb. This method proved more successful as '''Ashe''' and Adrian were finally able to pull up '''Merys'''.

Now successfully reunited on the other side of the chasm, the team all hoped the path which laid before them would finally lead to the Hag that they had searched nearly every corner of the cave system for. | ||
