"Here you are," Ulric says passing some food from his pack to Olaf and Victor. "We'll need your sword arms for sure. Let's go see to these voices and get our treasure and your equipment back. It would also be good to know if the hobgoblins have entered this place. If they have then it's likely that there is an ambush waiting for us outside that door, just like the last time we left here."

"I still may be able to call forth the Sufferance. I may also be able to put a number of them to sleep. Let's be quick and quiet and find out what we're up against first though."

Olaf accepts the food gratefully and wolfs it down.

"We found some purple fruit on a tree somewhere up above... I must have eaten a rotten seed or something..." he smirks and tilts his head to the right really quickly in an attempt to hit Mondes in the ear.

"If we want that treasure and what little supplies we had on us we'll have to go back up there and take on whoever is there. Otherwise, it's down the stairs and back out into the ravine." Olaf finishes, "Now that we're all together, I'll leave it to you to decide."

"Now we are refeshed let us investigate the Orge's den to get our stuff back, and sneak out of here", says Wibert.

Very well.

Olaf's lantern is the only light source, since Dieter had to leave Wibert's torch upstairs since he couldn't very well carry all his gear and the torch -- simply not enough hands.

Who will lead the way back up the stairs?

"It could well be our friends the hobgoblins again," suggests Gustave. "Perhaps we can ready ourselves here and send a scout to see what we are up against."
He rubs his now well stubbled chin in consideration. "A small, stealthy chef could be optimal," he proposes, brow raised.

"Splendid idea," Ulric says to Gustave's suggestion. "Good to know what we're getting into since we're not exactly at full strength."

Ulric begins to absently going through his remaining equipment as he waits. With the door so nearby he begins to feel as though survival is a bit more likely. Ulric finds the small wooden chest he took from Flewellen so long ago. He carefully opens the lid and looks inside.

Within is a single starved looking grub, the length of Ulric's thumbs. Its wide, fangy mouth immediately quests upward... searching for food.

Is Wibert going to take the lead and investigate what lies up-stairs? If so, is he going to take Olaf's lantern (the only light source), or scamper off into the dark?

"If we really only have ONE light source...period...then we need to stick together and to all get out of here before the oil runs out." Olaf says, "If we going up stairs, then we should all go together and come back down together."

Olaf's lantern is indeed the only light source present, but it is still well over half full -- the magefire oil seems to burn forever!

Highbough also has a bundle of candles which could be lit if needs be.

"Agreed," Ulric says. "We'll go retrieve our silver together. But what happened to that nice glowing wand you had before Olaf? Don't tell me you lost it."

Ulric drops a little morsel of food to the worm in the box to test the reaction.
