Odlin shudders with shock and relief. "Well done" he murmurs to the cleric. He throws a glance to Augustine and signals that it is safe to join the others.
He lets Jukia minister to the fallen and proceeds to drag the corpses in to one corner before going through their possessions

The large man hoarsely mutters a few words of thanks, "Thank you, you've just saved my life." with his still sore vocal cords to the helpful Jukia. Using the table to lean on, he clambers to his feet.
Then, he looks at the table and at the corpses, already thinking about sales values of the things scattered around the room, as he quickly recovers from his near-death experience. Stadcas even kicks the goblin that has finally brought him down, showing his own superiority, and then smiles at Jukia again in thanks, finishing with the same gesture as he has begun with.
Welcome back.

Jukia blushes at Stadvas comments "I could not let such a valiant warrior trying to help my hamlet falls to the hands of such a vile monsters."
The group finds the following:
4 small sizes of each leather armor, morningstar, light wooden shield and 3 javelins.
10gp, 5 sp, 40cp on the table
40sp on the goblins
a pair of mathcing pewter dishes with water in one and dog food in the other.

Odlin gives the coins to Stadvas to carry if he agrees while he and Augustine hide the bulkier items on the ledge in the entrance chamber.
Finished, the dwarf wipes his brow with a tired sleeve
"ready?"
He lets his mind wander so that the warriors can decide how they want to open the next door.

Stadvas raises a hand, while sitting down on the table's edge to repose himself, pulling attention to himself. He turns to Jukia. "Thanks again, but now, I wonder... how many times can you to pull that trick off? I mean, saving someone like how you just have?"
The episode has changed his thoughts about the entire enterprise, and the doubt becomes visible on his face, and in his behaviour.

Jukia smiles shyly. "I can call on the power of my god a couple of time a day and I used it all on you. But" and she point to the wand, "this wand can replicate my magic. I am not sure how many time but it will help."
OOC: Not sure what is up with No not posting

Jukia's words reassure the fighter, and Stadvas grins. He looks around, not coming off the table, he continues whispering with the newfound hoarseness.
"Fantastic. So, what are the plans for the next attack?" The man's face clears up, as if he has just remembered something. "I've got two alchemist's fires lying around somewhere here."
Stadvas searches his backpack. He looks around and asks, not directing his answer at anyone specifically. "Yes, I do have them. Do you have any use for it?"

Looking at the money they had gotten off of the goblins, Augustine, with his normal penchant for verbosity, says, "Rich goblins."
When asked about the alchemist's fire, he shrugs, and notes I am not much good at throwing things, but if someone else threw it at some goblins clustered together, it should cause them a bit of trouble."

Jukia, hesistanly opens her mouth "I am not really well versed in the art of dungeoneering but may be we could listen at the door and open it?"
She covers her mouth after that, feeling that she overstep her bounds.

Odlin looks up at the burly warrior. " I doubt I'll be much use swinging a weapon so I'll be carrying just a torch mostly if you like.
I can toss the fire flasks for you but that means you'll need to carry some of my gear or I'll be more clumsy than an ox that's been chewing on mindnumbweed doused with fermented milk"
swap you two rations for two flasks of oil... but i want the food back!  PS: being the warrior Ilya, it's only fair that we let you come up with the battle plans! will offer advice when asked/needed! |

Stadvas nods to Jukia in agreement. "Sounds simple enough. First of all, we listen, so everyone quiet." Leaving that task up to Augustine's much sharper ears, the warriors stays sitting on the table as he continues to whisper, "The strategy we used to get in this room was quite effective, so let's go with that one again and see what it does for us. Odlin, you can just put your things down in this room and leave them here during the fight. You can then take them with you into the next room..."
After he has shown how it's done by putting his own backpack on the table, another nod is given, but the changed expression on his face shows it is one inquiring if everyone understands.
Hrm, yeah, good point. I just thought strategies are more something for people with a high INT...

OOC: The guards were playing a dice game which is why they had so many coins on them.  I am waiting for No to post his skills before posting. Cal, when are you leaving? |

Augustine does not hear any noise at all. He find the door unlocked and open it. There is an hallway going north for 20 feet then turning right. The group slowly go inside the tunnel, as silently as they can but they do not hear or see no one. After the turn, the tunnel goes on for another 20 feet before opening to a larger tunnel. The larger tunnel is a dead end to its south but after 10 feet open to the west, north and east. 
OOC: sorry about assuming some actions but I did not want speak a week of posting with the group moving from one tunnel to another. I hope it is okay with you. |

Stadvas stared around, peering into each of the three tunnels. "Alright." he mumbles, before turning to his fellow group members. "Jukia, could you please take a look if you can find any signs you can read? Augustine, take a look at the ground, maybe you can find some tracks..."
The large man starts thinking out relativedly loud, whisering his words just loud enough for the other to hear. "I'd say there is a large chance the one in front of us leads to the main of the complex, as it's larger... That means a lot of opponents... We can probably try the smaller ones first."
I don't mind. In fact, I'm glad you did.
