Black Tom (and Hella, if she's interested):
** spoiler omitted **
Back to the trip back to the dungeon:
Upon seeing the ogre (and recognizing him), Roylenna will run forward to say hi. "We might have trouble with the ratmen, but we found a bunch of goblins and I think we will going there first. Do you like bashing goblins? Maybe you could come with us!"
The ogre scratches his head, then looks happy again. "Yah, I bash goblins."
Black Tom:
I'm thinking things along the line of Web, Sleep, etc. She's not a stone-cold killer, so things that hamper or disable are preferable to fireball, etc. She'll grow into those later. ;-)
In Giant to the ogre:
"Great! This could be fun! Oh, wait - they are on the next level and the stairs are small. Do you know another way to get to the next level?"
As the others attention is on the ogre Ka'kara slips off into the darkness.

"There is another level?"
Roylenna's eagerness fades for a moment, "Oh, you probably didn't need to look...," but is soon back in full force, "I know! We will look for another way in and come back and get you if we find one! How does that sound?"
Black Tom:
All:
here.
Time warp back to Warwick:
Black Tom (and Hella, if she's coming shopping with Roylenna):
Do they have bard's spells, too? I'd like to get an arcane Cure Light Wounds since I can't use the divine one, in case I've used my spells and Proteus goes down.
I'd like to get a scroll of Color Spray, Hypnotism, and Summon Monster 1. If the Cure Light Wounds is not available, I will get two Color Sprays.
That should come to a total of 100 gp, correct?

Time warp forward to the conversation with the ogre:
"Oh, and look what we got for you while we were in town! I thought you might like some new, warm furs for your cave!"
"Hey, has anyone seen Ka'kara?"
"She's right,,," Proteus turns to where he last seen the barbarian ",,,there. Where'd she go?" Proteus asks quizzically.
Sandros frowns into the darkness as well, trying to determine what happened to Ka'kara.
Perception, with vision bonus (1d20+3=4)
Even his elven eyes are overcome by the gloom, however.
Looking around to see where the barbarian woman might have gone Rana thinks he spies something in the dark.
You see Ka'kara rapidly disappearing into the dungeon, using the entrance with the stairs.
Meanwhile, the ogre is very happy with his new furs. He says that he's going to curl up and take a nap.
Pointing at the dungeon entrance,"There she goes." Rana quickly starts after Ka'kara. "What does that woman think she's up to."
"Why am I always running after people going off to do insane things?" Sandros mutters to himself as he sprints after Ka'kara - or what he hopes is Ka'kara, anyway. It's still awfully dark...
Looking over to Roylenna, the only person she can keep up with, "Shall we?"
Proteus follows after Sandros chanting "Luminas" as he goes and his holy symbol shines brightly to light the way.
Rana, Sandros and Proteus need to make Perception checks in the ghoul's room to guess where she went. Or they could just choose a passage.

She went left. ;o) You can try again in Burg's room.
Ka'kara:
Sandros follows Proteus' apparent certainty, but has the presence of mind to tell him to "Light the wall to show which way we went!"
Looking over to Roylenna, the only person she can keep up with, "Shall we?"
"Yes, I think we shall. I will keep an eye on our leaders - can you keep a watch out for surprises?"
Dancing Lights leading the way as usual, lighting the leaders' path as much as possible to aid the halflings in following.
"I'm pretty sure she's headed for the goblins. Do you remember the fastest way there? We might be able to save some time."
BT: Would a knowledge(dungeoneering) apply to remembering/figuring out the fastest way back to the goblins? If so, Hella is at +7.

Unfortunately Hella is confused by the dungeon design (3+7=10). On the other hand the ogre looks confounded. "Friends run from funny girl. Not nice." he ruminates, grabbing one halfling under each arm and running after the others.
With only the slightest amount of surprise in her voice, Hella looks to Roylenna and proclaims in Halfling:

"Wha? Oh! Whee!"
In Halfling:
In Giant:
Suddenly the ogre appears behind you, carrying the two halflings and chuckling.

Ka'kara:** spoiler omitted **
BT:
Ka'kara:
Proteus: She went right, straight towards the lake.
Rana keeps pace with Proteus, drawing his swords as they go deeper into the dungeon.

Proteus: She went right, straight towards the lake.
BT:
Yep, your right on the money with the jumping part.
"She went that way," Proteus says to the group. "It looks like you are right Royl, but why in the nine hells would she go after the goblins alone? This makes no sense, not to mention reduces the capacity to be able to plan. I'm half tempted..." He shakes his head without finishing the thought and proceeds down the corridor.
A little unsettled about having an ogre at his back, Sandros nevertheless follows Proteus toward the goblins' lair.
"She is reckless and will likely get us all killed," Rana follows Proteus down the passageway. "If she wants to get herself killed I say let her."
"She is reckless and will likely get us all killed,"
"Look who's talking," Proteus mumbles.
The passage ends abruptly at the lake, 10 feet above ground level. You could jump or climb down if you like, and make another Perception check to locate Ka'kara's receding footsteps.
The ogre is slightly uncomfortable in this constricted passage but he ambles along anyway.

Proteus will attempt to climb down.
A rock beneath Proteus foot slips and he is unable to hold on, falling to the ground. "Ouch!" he says as he lands awkwardly and thuds upon the cavern floor.
Proteus is unable to determine Ka'kara's direction.
Intelligence check - to remember the path. (1d20+2=22)
However, he thinks he remembers the path to the orc tombs where the secret passage to the goblin lair lies.
Climb: 1d20+3=13, Perception: 1d20+0=2
Having a slightly easier time getting down to the lake Rana stops to help Proteus up off the ground. "There you go shaman. Which way next? You seem to know where you're going."
"I seem to recall having had a rope at one point for this very purpose," Sandros comments to no one in particular. The lack of equipment does not seem to cause him many problems, however.
Once down, he casts about, hoping to spot more tracks and verify Proteus' recollection. Nothing appears to his eyes, however.
