The group felt safe
now, all obvious Goblins dispatched, and the secrets revealed, the
Shadow not attacking us!!
We begin to move on,
the only other known entry/exit to this cavern, other than the
Shamans curtained off hovel being short bending tunnel north, see map
to the right of Goblin caves, marked with three arrows ^.
Cautiously Sidion leads
us forwards, Moreta leaving a warning trap of alchemical fire behind
us, passed a slight bend in the dark tunnel leading to a horde of
rotting merchandise, boxes/barrels/bags or all manner of wares, taken
from attacked caravans we surmise and discarded by the Goblins here,
the only thing out of place is a small figurine/statue, covered in
what appeared to be drying blood.
Tay Vorns empty pockets
called to him again, he set off through the huge pile of garbage to
look for gold, and rolling high found some barrels with false bottoms
and wax lumps of gold coins and some dodgy scales, probably used to
trick some unsuspecting merchant, well thats what Tay Vorn planned to
use them for.
Sidion again finds a
passage to the east, dark and tight he scouts ahead, finds a trap
door at the end leading upwards, he listens and can hear Goblin
speak, unable to comprehend it he returns quietly to us, sending
Moreta off to listen as well, she is in the guise of a Goblin and
luckily can speak and understand the stumpy's language.
At the trap door, she
cannot hear anything so slowly opening it she is greeted with a
pointy arrow, she thinks quickly and speaks in there native tongue,
“its only me!”.
The Goblins around the
trap and unsure, but the Shaman says pull him up, the evil invaders
might be close behind, she had fooled them into thinking she was one
of them and had escaped the invading group, and now in amongst there
ranks!!
After a few words on
the dangers she has had to endure and avoid she edges her way to the
fringes of the Goblins, during which time they sent four of there
group down the trap door in search of the party after the disguised
Moreta convinced them the party was leaving.
Moreta finds a fairly
narrow chimney, running slowly down and around, before she can go
into it, two more Goblins enter it, under orders from the Shaman to
try and catch the invaders between themselves and the other group of
four, Moreta watches them go down, and decides to follow them quietly
drawing her stiletto dagger and checking the pointy end was still
sharp.
The Shaman describes
how they knew the group had entered the garbage room, the statue
acted as a beacon when covered in fresh blood, strange but true. This
Shaman now headed down the trap door, to reset the trap.
Hearing movement, the
party, still in that room of junk, attempt to hide, I say attempt,
actually fail dismally. Combat ensues, the party surviving, but not
without taking damage or quietly.
More Goblins head down,
but Na'zel sends them a gift in the form of Flaming Sphere, a spongy
ball floating forwards stopping four Goblins getting to us and
cooking them rather quickly at the same time, nasty.
