Tenna chased after Herve, calling out to those close enough between coughs. "Hey, there's somethin' on that body" she said, pointing at the fallen hobgoblin on her way past it.

Tenna
Uncertain of whether or not they would have a second chance, Tenna crouched and snatched the ring from the corpse before rejoining the chase.

"Not without 'ole Bogo ye don't!" roars the old dwarf at no one in particular as he too takes off after the others
Situation check everyone . Is any of you hurt ?
"I'm fine!" Tenna shouted back, eyeing their quarry just as he was almost out of her sight. She nocked an arrow as quickly as she could and let it fly, hoping she could make the shot.
Now that the cloud has subsided it appears Brallin has disappeared but with the cavern behind them clear (and still unsearched) as well as the last of its occupants dead in front of you, you have the choice of either going back outside, checking the penned area, searching the cavern you just confronted the hobgoblin within or continue further inside the Ogre's Lair.
"Barring a few minor scratches I'm doing just find. It looks like our friend brought to us by the north wind has left with it."
Talden looks about and assesses the situation.
"Let's do a quick search of these caverns before continuing on. I don't want to accidentally rush past our friends and needlessly risk our lives when we don't need to. Good shot on the hobgoblin Herve and Willy you are down right scary with that axe. "
Willy grins at Talden then starts looting the Hobgoblin corpse.
"Whatcha got Gobber?"
Huffing and puffing from the short sprit and having made an incredible amount of noise in his less then perfect armor, Bogorin finally catches up to his friends and stops to catch his breath, his chest heaving like a bellows "Bin...a while...since I 'ad ta run...I guess"
Always with a Dwarven eye for loot and treasure however, he leans in curiously to see what Willy's up to "Hurry up now ya excuse for an oak..ye find anything?"
Tenna was catching her breath, but it was easier this time than it was after the fight with the goblins outside. "I'm okay too." Noticing Willy and Bogorin looking over the body, Tenna approached them and held out the ring she had retrieved. "I found this on 'im earlier, hangin' from his neck."
Talden begins searching the room they were just in looking for clues as to the location of their friends and for anything of importance.

Willy grins at Talden then starts looting the Hobgoblin corpse.
"Whatcha got Gobber?"
The hobgoblin captain is dressed in a pretty good suit of studded leather other than that he seems to be carrying a small steel shield with a Chelish longsword and what looks like a bag holding two plain javellins.
The hobgoblin handler is mostly a mess and looked like he had some ordinary studded leather as well as a bag holding a signle shattered javellin.
Willy only:

Thanks ! I didn't had this visual image at all
Maybe a general map of the areas we explored ?
Current Status
Willy pulls a pouch off the Hobgoblin corpse and looks inside. "Ooooh...sparkly" he says then hands it to Bogorin. "Whatcya think a dat?" After rummaging some more he finds another and looks in that "Aaaah...and lookee here. Monies." handing it to Bogorin.
He then starts stripping the Hobgoblin of its armor.

While holding out the ring, Tenna found herself looking behind her back.
"Hey, you don't think that thing's still out there, do ya? That demon?" She was thankful that it hadn't harried them during their fight inside, but that confused her even further. What's that thing doin' here anyway?
Bogorin sets his appraising (1d20+4=18) eye to everything Tenna and Willy have passed him. He thinks hard and tried to remember why the ring seems familiar (wisdom check (1d20+3=21))
Willy looks up from pulling the Hobgoblin's suit of armor off.
"Demon? Out there?"
Tenna was curious about what Bogorin had to say about the ring. She wasn't quite sure why it had caught her eye like it did. She really didn't have an eye for finery, having seen so little of it.
"Ya...you didn't see it?" Tenna asked. It was all a blur, she wasn't sure who saw it or not. "This little demon thing, just outside the entrance. It was at our backs when you went in. Mister Herve saw it."
She turned to the aristocrat, her eyes begging him to confirm what she said. "Didn't you, sir?" She didn't want them thinking she was crazy, though she might have preferred the demon actually being a figment of her imagination.

Bogorin only:
Bogorin pronounces his estimated value of the gems and explains why the ring seemed familiar to him (read the spoiler)
The fact that he is still able to tell that the ring is enchanted though strikes hardest. Up until this moment the old dwarf had been sure he had lost all of his previous divine or magical abilities when he had forsaken his God...but he could feel magic again?? What might this mean??.....
[occ]Sorry, not clear on this Hopeless, did you want me to roll and K Religion check Now? If so, please go ahead for me
PS Who wants to be the treasure keeper [/ooc]

I'm not sure what kind of creature it was but it did look like a satanic creature and its powers seemed to be magical in nature .
If everyone is all right , we should proceed before it alerts the rest of the creatures in there . But let's be careful , the hobgobind did hesitate to take the way further inside . I would propose me and Bogorin at the front , Willy at the rear in case some creatures try to attack us from behin and Miss Tenna and Talden in the center .
Willy finally gets the armor off the hobgoblin and puts his hand through the hole Talden's sword made.
"Heh, you got it good."

"Wait man, lemme put on this suit. And why I gotta be in da back?"
"Huh." Tenna's dirty face scrunched up in thought as she peered at the ring. "I wonder how a ring's supposed to protect you from ghosts..." She continued to hold it out, not daring to lay claim on it. It wasn't her place.
She checked her quiver, making sure that the special arrow was alright, and fell in line with the others, smiling at Willy's protests. She was grateful to have the huge lumberjack at their backs.
"Who was that man, anyway?"
Because military tactics say it's always best to put the best armored people in front in order to survive the attacks . furthermore , if we put Bogorin or me at the rear , it would take us more time to come to the front than you .
I've got absolutely no idea of who this man can be . He has obviously his own agenda so we should not consider him as an ally until we know what this agenda is .
At Herve's words of "Not alerting the others", Bogorin grins and stands up in his loud, creaky armor "Ya mean like this? PRAY TA YER STINKIN GODS NOW YE SCUM CAUSE WERE A COMING TO KILL YA DEAD!" As he bangs on his shield with his hammer.
Trying for once to exhibit at least a modicum of diplomacy though, he does turn to Herve and puts a hand on his shoulder saying "Sorry lad, but I reckon whoever's waitin' fer us in there already knows we're comin'. That hobogobo screamed like a girl when he got hisself kilt on Talden's sword there. Ah, no offense meant o'couse Tenna. Anyway, I figure if dey already know were comin', maybe if dey be scared or angry dey might make a mistake, eh?"
Turning then to Willy Bogorin grins and says "And what ye be griping about ye bastard son o' a Treant? Why, jus two steps of those tree trunk legs o yorn and ye'll be right up at the front with Herve and misself"
Happy with his masterful diplomatic efforts the surprisingly sober dwarf begins humming a dwarven war chant as he stomps off eagerly, and noisily, further into the cave, his hammer already swinging slightly as he imagines the skulls he's about to crush with it.
At Herve's words of "Not alerting the others", Bogorin grins and stands up in his loud, creaky armor "Ya mean like this? PRAY TA YER STINKIN GODS NOW YE SCUM CAUSE WERE A COMING TO KILL YA DEAD!" As he bangs on his shield with his hammer.
"YEE HAW!" Willy bellows down the tunnel "We're comin' ta get ya!"
"And what ye be griping about ye bastard son o' a Treant? Why, jus two steps of those tree trunk legs o yorn and ye'll be right up at the front with Herve and misself"
"He he. Yeah, and I'll watch fer dat udder dude. And dat demon. I wanna kill a demon. What's e look like?"
Willy finally squeezes into the hobgoblin armor. "Umph, a lil' tight."
Stop eating so much then !
And Bogorin , I meant we should not give too much time for the others to prepare themselves
Although he would agree with Herve completely on his last statement/correction, Bogorin unfortunately cannot hear him as he's already stomping his way down the tunnel, looking for some enemies ta bash.
As Tenna evidenced her reluctance to hold onto the ring earlier, Bogorin gently took it from her saying "Ye be jus as good as any o us ta bear dat ring girl, don't sell yerself short. But, if ye wish, ole Bogo kin hold onta it fer now."
If she passes it to him, Bogorin holds it in his palm for several more moments, staring at it with a strange look on his face, a look evincing surprise, puzzlement, wonder, anger, and even a little bit of hope perhaps. Finally he sighs and tucks it away carefully before moving down the hall.
Tenna's eyes widened and gritted her teeth at the sound of Bogorin and Willy's outburst, ducking a bit instinctively as if the entire place was about to come down around them. "Shhh!" Gods! Haven't any of them been hunting before? She continued to whisper, a bit ridiculously as if it would somehow balance out the earlier shouting. "It looked like...you know...a demon. A little one, with wings and horns. And a tail. I don't know, it all happened really fast. It seemed to frighten easy though. I hope."
Talden begins searching the room they were just in looking for clues as to the location of their friends and for anything of importance.

For Hopeless:
Talden quickly stuffs the pouches of money into his backpack before heading back to join the others.
"I finished searching the other room and I didn't find much other than some silver pieces and a few jars of herbs with some kind of strange markings on them. Where ever our friends are they are most likely further down the cave and it looks like we should probably catch up with Bogorin."
"It looked like...you know...a demon. A little one, with wings and horns. And a tail. I don't know, it all happened really fast. It seemed to frighten easy though. I hope."
"Little, eh? I thought demons was big."
Willy brings up the rear, constantly looking for demons behind him.

Willy brings up the rear, constantly looking for demons behind him.
Everbody can hear someone groan somewhere ahead of them.
"OW! ME HEAD, ME SHOULDN'T HAVE DRUNK THAT! OWW!" someone groans echoing throughout the caves as its footsteps echo throughout the caves just not as much as his groans.
Stepping around the corridor you see it bends out of sight with only a pile of logs in one corner of any interest but you can still hear something big moving around somewhere ahead...

'BOGORIN , COME BACK ! Willy and Talden blocking the exit and Bogorin and me at the entrance of the cave we just came from ! Tenna , stay behind Talden !
Without even consciously realizing it, as he stomps along, Bogorin slipped the ring out of the pouch he had put it in and slipped it on his finger...
"Right!" Tenna whispered back to Herve, sticking close behind Talden. She fidgeted with the special arrow, sorely tempted to nock it now, but she suspected she might let it fly at the wrong target if they came upon their quarry suddenly.
