After handing Sadhana the potion bottle she looks at her, "I know the smell isn't quite as bad as it was, but I don't think I can take it much longer. Would it be alright if I waited outside while you guys search this area?"

Cyna helps search the room for anything of value.
"That went better than expected."

"Lady Stabs-a-Lot made sure of that," Sienna jokes.
Arista turns and walks quickly out of the cave before she starts gagging.

+1 Quilted Cloth Armor, +1 Elven Curve Blade, 50 GP, a red spinel worth 45 gp, a green spinel worth 45 gp, and a chrysoberyl worth 120 gp.
Cyna manages to find some items of worth among the corpses.

Cyna gathers what she can bringing it to the others.
"I've got some things here, an odd sword and some armor as well as some coin and gems." she tells the group.
Arista waits outside and takes a few deep breaths while she waits for the others.
Gratefully taking the potion from Arista, Sādhanā drinks it, sighing in relief as the wound all but completely closes. "Yeah I think I managed to shrug off whatever was in that stinger."
"Hey Sienna, want to help me gar the last of the stink out of this place before we tell those guys they can have tier cave back?" she asks, casting her all purpose spell.
Sienna nods. "I don't think we're changing the decor in here though."
"Nope, that's gonna take their own hard work." the magus replies.
"Well one of you can use the armor," Sādhanā says looking at Rikali and Toni.
"Rikali should have that since I just kind of hang back," Toni says cheerfully.
"Makes sense." Sādhanā says with a smile. "We should probably let them know they can go back home now."
Rikali takes the armor and dons it. "Let's see what these hobgoblins have to say now."
You return to the outpost, the leader waiting for your return.
Arista approaches the leader with the others, "The devil is dead,and the shard destroyed. It smelled awful in there and there were some....changes due to the effects of the shard, we did what we could but the rest is just going to take time."
"I suppose that is enough," the hobgoblin says. He looks to the rest of his group. "Come, we head home now."
The other hobgoblins cheer and the leader looks back to you. "Our supplies are in the main building, there is food, weapons and some armor for you. Thank you for your help."
The hobgoblin opens the gate and leads the others to the cave.
She smiles and waves as they head out, "Sure, no problem. Good luck to all of you."
She looks at the others, "Well, I guess we better go see what they left here for us."
Ylrhea nods. "They look like they've kept this place in good shape, so it's probably better than whatever the dark dwarves have."
The main building is quite organized, with a training room, barracks, a kitchen with a larder and a mess hall. It's almost impressive how the hobgoblins cobbled this place together. In the training room, you find a couple suits of half-plate armor and a couple sets of leather armor. There are 4 short swords and 2 battle axes as well as 100 arrows left behind. There are also some bedrolls, backpacks and waterskins along with the other gear. The larder contains about 30 pounds of salted and fresh venison, 10 pounds of raw veggies (carrots, potatoes, onions) and a dozen loaves of bread.
She nods her head appreciativly and smiles, "Wow......this is actually pretty impressive." Looking at Toni and Rikali she says, "Hey, now you guys can have some gear for yourselves. Pretty neat huh? Can you believe this place? Sorry, I tend to get a little excited over stuff like this. I'm gonna go check out the kitchen." Arista runs off towards the kitchen and larder while slightly giggling.

"Well this is certainly a welcome change. It's a lot better than any campsite we'd set up on the road." Sādhanā says in surprise as they investigate the outpost.
"So...we're planning on staying here?" Ylrhea asks.
Arista is surprised to find a large stone oven with plenty of firewood in the kitchen. She also finds canisters of fragrant spices in a cupboard.

Ohhhh yeahhhh I'm taking all of those with me when we leave. They'll be fun to experiment with.

Toni takes one of the suits of leather armor and puts it on. Grinning, she stands in front of the others, hand on the hilt of the sword. "Ta-da!"
Rikali smiles, gathering the backpacks, bedrolls and waterskins. "I wonder if they have a well here."
Sādhanā whistles.
"Very nice," she says grinning. "I'm thinking the fashion of our world suits you pretty well, what do you think Rikali?"
"I think she'll do fine. I might have to fight off some men on her behalf," Rikali chuckles. "Alright, we officially have gear."
Arista looks at Toni from the kitchen, "You look great! Hey, you guys should see this kitchen.....it's amaaazing. We should come back here after we save the kid so I can cook a real meal."

Arista can barely contain the note of excitement in her voice, "If some places are getting too crowded, I'm sure some people could settle here. Once we get rid of all the baddies." She crinkles her nose a bit as she thinks.

Sienna walks into the kitchen, taking it in. "Probably some woodsmen wouldn't mind this place. It's a bit far out and too small for an actual town."
"Would be a good outpost for Rivell and his people. Set them up not far from the actual towns, but still in the wilds." Sādhanā conjectures.
She nods her head, "Yeah yeah, something like that. It would just be a shame to let this kitchen go to waste. You think we'll come back here tonight? If so, Ill leave the food stuffs here for now."

Ylrhea shrugs. "I still wonder where he came from..."
"Yeah, staying here might be a good idea," Sienna says. "After we give it a once over and make sure those hobgoblins didn't leave anything extra behind."
"Not sure, if there's room in the bag then we might as well take it just in case."
"Sure....okay then. Ill get to packing." She sighs softly as she heads back into the kitchen area.

Sienna puts a hand on Arista's shoulder. "We'll see, okay?"
She nods, "I don't understand why I get all homemaking sometimes. I'm sorry, just feeling a little out of sorts I guess. I just got excited when I saw how great the kitchen looked. It made me wanna......cook stuff." She shrugs, "Maybe I'm just being ridiculous. I know we can't be wasting a bunch of time. Ill just get all this stuff packed up."

"It's not ridiculous. I think we all need a reminder of non-crazy life sometimes," Ylrhea says.
"It's normal. With everything we've got going on, wanting to do something....normal once in a while makes perfect sense." Sādhanā says in response.
Nodding again she gets to work and making sure containers are sealed starts packing things into the bag, "Yeah.....our life does get a little crazy doesn't it......but, it's still okay. If things weren't crazy like this, I might not have met any of you, wouldn't have Alethiro to go home to, or this." She rubs her belly affectionately as she smiles.
