Pral stands before the cave and watches the others discussing the possible actions to be taken. All of a sudden his face lights up and he turns to Med, tugging on his sleeve like some insistent child."Wasps! That's the answer!"
When he glances round and is met by blank looks he frowns and then says, "My dad had wasps once in the barn. We couldn't get in the barn to get them so we built a massive fire and put damp wood and grass on it. Then all the smoke filled the barn and forced the wasps out. Then we swatted them. We could light a massive fire and smoke the goblins out. Med and the others can drop rocks on them while I swat them. With my swatter." At this point Pral waves the huge broadsword around in a few demonstrative swings, causing all near by to duck even though the blows were easily a hand’s width from them.
"That's a fine plan, Pral," Talia remarks, "if it is a only a small cave, and if we are sure that the only things in there are goblins. But what if there are other creatures there who mean us no ill, and the smoke could harm or cause distress to? Or if this is not a small cave but rather a big complex, in which case the smoke wouldn't drive out the goblins even if they are in there, only alert them to our presence?"
She looks to the cave, clearly eager to be off. "If no one else wants to, I'm happy to go first and take a look."
Talia doesn't mind if the others want to try Pral's plan, but isn't that keen on it herself. She'll also happily let someone else go first if they want to. But if not, then, telling them to wish her luck, she waves at them, then slips into the cave to take a look.
John: Her current spells are
- Faerie Fire (V, 8" range, no saving throw, lasts 4 rounds/level)
- Faerie Fire (V, 8" range, no saving throw, lasts 4 rounds/level)
- Speak with Animals (no saving throw, 2 rounds per level)
- Speak with Animals (no saving throw, 2 rounds per level)
Surprisingly, Pral does not look at all hurt his suggestion has not been adopted as policy by the party.
"You're probably right Talia. But if we go in I should go first. Others may not be able to swat goblins like me!"
Ivan: Pral will do his best to lead the party, just for the chance to smite stuff. Pral will carry a torch in his shield hand but drop it if it comes to combat. If one of the others carried Pral's lamp that can be placed on the floor if combat ensues, with next to no loss of actions and provide enough light for us to manage with.
Please don’t ask Pral to map, he can't spell map!
Matt: Typical party order - Pral lead, Landrau second, Talia third, Med fourth, Elendil rear. Sound good? Since Talia wishes to lead the way they could just swap typical order for the time being.
Med gathers up the dry branches and tinder he was able to find and fashions some torches (5?) and hands one to each of the party members. As he readies himself to enter the lair's entrance Med will examine the carvings that Talia, Elendil and Landrau discovered the first time. Are either Landrau or Med able to make heads or tails of what is on the walls while they wait their turns in line? "Pral, do you see any writings like you did in the chapel?" Med asks of Pral while they wait.
"You mean the stuff on the wall?" Pral immediately looks at all the walls to check.
Ivan: Please let me know if Pral spots something else unusual written on the walls.
