"We should keep moving." Rohan agrees. "Maybe I can stop letting these new people down."
Nic slaps Rohan on the back, handing him his own potion of cure light wounds. I am always seeming to be having the lucks like you, I have the fallen a few times to these crafty goblins and their minions.
Nic then moves onwards, heading towards Natalia and where Blue was first watching over the goblin dogs.
Rohan accepts the potion with a nod and drinks it, some of his many wounds seal up.
While the others catch up to him, Blue checks the ground, looking to pick back up the tracks that a body has been dragged through the area around him.
Vanea looks at Max with surprise
I say we move on, I mean what are the odds it has a nearby tribe somewhere? Slim to none
Don't you know Thirstletop-the place we are in right now- is where the local goblin tribes lives? Where were you when we talked about this place?You know what are your chance to survive if you don't give some attention here? Slim to none.
"Now, now Vanea. Max may know where we have to go next." Eloviel turns to Max and says "So, did you find anything on the other side of the bushes? Let's check there."
Rohan will follow Max shortly after, his many wounds still bleeding.
Nic follows along behind Rohan, accepting back the empty potion vial. Wasting not is wanting not, ja. We should be careful of the other goblins, they are likely to be trapping and tricking the area to ward off the more dangerous creatures stalking the area. Nic tosses his small ioun stone into orbit above his head, realizing sight may be more useful now that stealth has lost it's charms.
"Here, I think I have enough energy for another healing spell." Eloviel holds out her hand gleaming with light towards Rohan, gusts of wind swirling about her.
Then she follows Max to where he was exploring before.
Blue withdraws the wand and starts tapping people as they go by.
Many thanks Blue, I will be to repaying the kindness in denting goblin skulls, da.
Nic, maybe you should leave the goblin's skull denting to Max... Even if he doesn't believe there are goblins around. I'd said the goblins dogs were a damn stinking clue, but who am I to judge?
"Yes, thank you to both of you. I will do my best to not need further healing."
"Except I've done a poor job of it so far."
For the followers of Calistria, each wound-physical, moral or other- is a reason to get revenge. Not every wound is ...
She suddenly stop her sentence, and do something unexpected.
Vanea blushes.
Then she reddens.
Enough said. We got a non existing goblins tribe to destroy.
"No need fer disappointment, Vanea. When you get ta see it - and you will - you won't mistake it fer a wand. Maybe a staff." Blue posits.
Vanea stays near Natalia and Nic, her face tenser than usual
"Vanea, you feeling alright? Your face is turning a slght shade of sunburn red.", she asks, looking slightly concerned.
What..Why?
Reddening again
Nothing really important.Just...too much sun, probably. We're near the sea, after all.It will be better when everything here is finished.
Looking about to cry
But thank you for asking. Of course.
Swallow her tears and smile
Yes Blue, we'll take time for that, later.I promise.It's not as if it was against my religion, after all.
Blue gathers the others and suggests they hurry after Max, before the man gets himself into trouble and they're nowhere near to help. He herds them along like goblins.
"He wandered off did he......he must be underestimating the risks of being here."
This thirty-foot diameter, low cieling chamber stinks of smoke. A shallow fire pit smolders in the center of the floor, while nine tangled reed-and-leaf nests line the walls.

Several goblins rush into battle at the sight of max. He suffers two blows as three of them make it to him with attacks.
Group 2 up!
Max swings in return, but his sword only grazes the goblin, tearing at it's armor but failing to draw blood.
"Cogs away!"
Rohan will step back and conjure eagles and they claw and bite at the goblins.
"Friends, please defend us."
Natalia lets loose 2 bolts of energy that take out one goblin, while Rohan summons a pair of eagle that take out another.
Blue, before I rush into more troubles, can I use your wand to cure my wounds? The smallest one, of course. I have no need for your two handed staff right now.
A wink to the other half elf.
When able to respond, Blue gestures to the wand in his bandolier, readily accessible to Vanea to get her hands on. "Natcherly, sweet'eart! 'elp yerself."
Vanea takes the wand from Blue's belt and uses it on herself, twice
Mind if I keep it for the moment?
The remainder of the goblins rush into battle, provoking attacks of opportunity from Max and both of Rohan's summoned eagles.
One of the eagles strikes the passing goblin on it's way to attack Rohan, which succeeds but does minor damage. The rest of the goblins fail to pose any threat.
Desna, guide our stars... Nic moves up 5', then unleashes a burst of three star shaped bolts of energy, Magic Missiles charged with a puff of black powder. He directs one bolt at the Green Goblin closest to Rohan, adding his Intense Spells & Black Powder bonuses . The second bolt strikes the Red Goblin to the right of Max, , and the last bolt taking the Goblin South of Max, .
Eloviel aims her bow at the nearest goblin she can see and shoots an arrow! "Ya!"
Blue quickly draws and fires two arrows rapidly. The first is aimed at the red-ringed goblin next to Max, the second at the the green-ringed one next to Rohan, unless Eloviel has felled it, in which case he fires at the yellow-ringed one next to Max.
Nic, Eloviel and Blue step up with a barrage of ranged attacks that take out several goblins. One steps foward while another runs in, both to attack Max, but both swing and miss.
