Marguerite comes over, takes out her barmaid's cloth and starts cleaning Squall. She casts Prestidigitation to clean Squall

Djala sighs as the last kobold falls. "My apologies, friends. I was intending to just investigate what was in this room, but my skill at sneaking was not up to the task." She stretches, twisting various body parts with soft cracks as they realign. "Shall we rest for a few moments while tending to our wounds, friend Squall?"

After the battle Squall puts his blades away and begins grumbling as he cleans the sticky goo off his feathers.
Tik’s jokes with Squall about how long it will take to get clean, as he searches the bodies. Each kobold had a standard gear consisting of a Crossbow, 10 bolts, Shortsword, and Leather armor. The Slurk had no gear.
Marguerite uses her barmaid’s cloth and a bit of magic prestidigitation to help clean the goo off Squall.
Galesong chuckles at the sight, ” Reminds me of my maw always wiping dirt off my face.”
Djala apologies for failing to be stealthy and starting an unintentional battle. Over the next twenty minutes, she uses her Lay on hands and medicine to heal most of Squall’s wounds and all of her own.
The pit below the lift seems to be used as a refuse dump and doesn't contain anything valuable.
After healing up the group checks out the room to the east through the wall opening with no door. There is a dour stone chamber serving as a storage room to the east full of empty crates and splintered barrels. Stone rafters crisscross the ceiling.
Marguerite, R!Kktik and Drake all spot something dark with long, cartilaginous limbs and gray skin,hiding in the rafters.

The silence in the rafters stretches for a moment, making you wonder about its intentions. A low, guttural growl emanates from the darkness, a sound that vibrates with a primal, predatory warning. It's accompanied by the faint, almost imperceptible scuttling of claws on wood, suggesting it's repositioning for an advantage.
The creature does eventually responds with a low, guttural growl, followed by faint scuttling sounds "Grrrrr... Scritch-scritch. Fresh blood in air. Not hunt stronger pack."
| Drake Stormrider |
"I think we should maybe just leave this room alone. I don't think we need to confront this creature, it hasn't done anything to us. Perhaps we should try the tunnel to the north?", Drake suggests to the group.
| "Squall" Blacktail |
Once he's much cleaner, Squall joins the others looking through the western doorway. While those who share a language with the skulking creature are conversing with it, the tengu leaves his blades in their sheaths in order to appear less threatening. He still has his beak, and his quick-draw skills, if the diplomatic approach fails.
GM Glyn

Drake suggests the group should leave the room and creature alone and head north.
Having cleaned the goo off Squall joins the others, interacting with the skulking creature.
Tik nods telling the creature they will leave it to the bodies.
The creature responds ”Strong scaly ones hide above narrow way.” He moves deeper into the shadows, indicating he has accepted the offer of detente.
Looking to the north from this room you see the natural cave corridor is very narrow at 3ft wide and has what look like ledges six feet above the rocky group path.

When Tik translates the creature's last comment, Squall peers at the tunnel to the north. "Looks like the perfect place for kobolds to ambush longshanks. Gives intruders less room to maneuver, while they attack from above. I'll bet those ledges only have enough headroom for small folk, too."
| "Squall" Blacktail |
"There was another tunnel (A), going north from that last chamber," Squall points out. "It might come out behind that choke-point, or it might have its own hazards. Or both. I think I'd like to check it out before poking my beak into the obvious ambush."
Djalamora Vestrilavia

Djala nods in agreement. "Walking into the obvious trap is not a wise choice."
| Drake Stormrider |
"I don't have any spells that could do that Tik, but it is a good idea."
GM Glyn

Squall points out that they should check out the other tunnel before poking the ambush.
Djala agrees.
Tik suggests making a cloud, Drake agrees but doesn't have that magic.
The group moves back into the chamber where they found the kobolds mining for shiny stones, before stealthy moving up the north passage. Catching a glimpse into a larger chamber ahead they see a semitransparent, slippery gray slime covers the walls and floor of this chamber, a foul-smelling that Squall is very acquainted with having recently been covered with the same goo. You can hear a kobold speaking in a calming low voice as one would to an animal.
Covering his nose, Galesong whispers ”This seems promising despite the smell.”

Marguerite steps forward and politely asks the kobold ” Move along!” The startled kobold jumps back and starts jabbering angrily.
Djala steps up to Marguerite, trying to soothe the angry kobold ” Look, we just didn’t want you to get hurt!” Unfortunately, the kobold spits as he gives Djala a dead-eyed look. He is not backing down.
Having stepped into the room, you get a better look. There are two slurks and two kobolds. Oddly, one kobold is riding a slurk, but he slumped over, stuck to the slurk’s back, not moving.

Marguerite and Djala are slow on the realization that diplomacy has failed.

Drake moves up and focuses on throwing debris at the green Slurk, causing it deep bruises as the rubble pelts the creature.
Disgusted by more slop-hoppers, Squall mutters as he moves and begins hunting the green Slurk. He strikes out with both weapons, hitting the slimy frog twice. The Slurk grunts from the painful wounds.
Advancing, R!Kktik drawing a versatile vial and throwing it at the blue kobold. The alchemist's fire hits the kobold. This kobold seems better at fighting than the average one, so it's not a crit, but he does catch fire and hiss at Tik as the flames burn him and his pets.
The green kobold draws his crossbow and, with practiced ease, he quickly coats the bolt in some substance as he loads and fires the weapon. The bolt hits Tik, sinking into his flesh, and the ratfolk feels the sting of venom entering his blood! (Tik DC18 Fortitude vs poison Stage1 = 2 points of poison)
The yellow Slurk squirts slime at Squall, Marguerite, and Galesong! Squall and Galesong dodge the Goo, but Marguerite gets hit with a glob of sticky goo. (Slime Clumsy 1, 5’ speed penalty for 1hr or until removed (3actions))
The Green Slurk uses its tusks to strike at Squall. Only the first strike hits, leaving a deep gash in the Tengu’s flesh.
The orange kobold stuck to the back of the yellow Slurk just seems to flop about listlessly.
Dodging the slime, Galesong sings ” Miss me, Miss me, now you have to kiss me! Yuck, on second thought, no, just no!” The rhyme does seem to spark the lingering Courageous Anthem for 3 rounds. And his Telekinetic debris hits the Yellow Slurk solidly. Wounding it.

Drake strides further into the room while striking the remaining Slurk with a bolt of fire. The fire burns the slurk causing it to yelp in pain.

The Kobold curses as the second Slurk goes down, He uses a Kobold trick to make a hurried Retreat moving away from his foes, before loading another bolt dipped in poison into his crossbow and firing it at Djala. The bolt hits the Champion wounding her as well as injecting venom into the wound! (Djala DC18 Fortitude vs poison Stage1 = 4 points of poison)
Galesong yells at the kobold intimidatingly ” Don’t run, you'll just die tired!” Unfortunately the kobold doesn't understand and is unaffected, but he is affected as the telekineticly powered rocks slam into him, causing new wounds. Galesong sniffs the air ” I remember the smell of this place, I bet the Prison is close by!”

Seeing the kobold make a break for it, Drake scrabbles forward to blast it with a bolt of fire as he snaps his fingers.
Marguerite spends her time wiping and scraping the slimy goo off her. It’s mostly gone except for the sticky memory.
Tik prepares a lost bomb to throw at the fleeing kobold.
Having run down the fleeing kobold, he is killed by Drake’s bolt of fire within a fungus-filled tunnel. The kobold falls against a particular sturdy fungus that begins to release a deafening screech of sound! Surely it’s alerted all the kobolds, and it’s only a matter of time before they descend upon you in mass. You have a chance to reach the throne room and deal with King Merlokrep!
