Ok, should I assume that Holly will always take the lead as trap detector and
unlocker or will she and Cara trade-off?
Are you leaving a sentry at the northern entrance? Who will watch the eastern
entrance? Where is Sean's horn at this point?

I presume that the eastern entrance is closer to home. Sean suggests
that we bring the former captives to the chamber with all the boxes, crates and
barrels, lay out some continual light stones, and start bringing the loot to
that spot. We have two sets of keys, and one might open the box in the ogre
chief's room (on the chest). We should split into two groups: those caring for
the wounded and freed captives (and cataloging the loot in the crates, barrels
and boxes), and those going back through the caves sweeping up the ready loot.
Sean recommends that Elmore and his guards remain, as well as Ahearn and
Xander. Holly and Carandolana will be the lock openers. Sean and Alga will
sweep for caches of precious metals. Hagar, Rarmuck and Johnny Mac should come
along as the muscle.

Sean looks around. "It will take us days to ship this stuff back to
the Cove. But it might be worth it. We should open the crates, boxes and
barrels. We'll need to get our carpenters to rig a few sledges and travois.
We have ogre weapons, that cauldron, all the loot we left around, naked two
handed swords. One more two handed sword in a scabbard, the stuff from the
Hag's bedroom, the stuff from the ogre chief's quarters...."

Ok, as you move south, you will go through the area with darkness
towards the entrance and then the area to the south and then to the west where
Hagar, Cara, Johnny Mac, and Xander made it before backing up. That area
assumes some sort of illumination. The hallway is stacked up with 21 crates, 6
boxes, and 41 barrels if someone counts. South of that on a parallel path is a
smaller room with a massive straw bed, a smaller straw bed and a cooking area
with a large black caldron.
Those two area will merge back into an area with six stumps turned into
chairs, eight large spears laying against the southern wall and a small
firepit. The area leads to a passage west that gets much smaller. Barely wide
enough for an ogre to enter and it gets more slender after 20'. It goes about
150' feet and appears to end.
The party feels that they have exhausted the caverns at this point.
