The next morning will come without any major drama. Any healing or other
decisions prior to checking out the cavern. Assuming Holly checks for thoughts
in the cave, she will return still believing the caverns are empty at this
time.

Sean hears about the plan to block up the cave entrances, at last partially.
He is intrigued, even more so by the idea that Carandolana could reshape the
entrance after securing the cave complex, assuming that securing Dugal's Cove
remains a party plan. "That is a fascinating prayer, Lady. You can actually
leave your mark on things, permanently. You could go into the architecture or
sculpting business. You can take a pile of rubble and actually mold it into
something useful. Plant some crab grass in front of it, and you could truly
make a small checkpoint a formidable defensive position." Sean thinks some
more on it. Given time, and the willingness to expend such power from She Who
Weaves Everything, you could build a stone jetty. At the very lest, you could
aid in the construction of one. Between Xander the craftsman and Carandolana
the sculptor, this group could easily move large stone pieces from one place
and reassemble them where desired, with Carandolana's prayers cementing
together the pieces Xander's spells allowed to be transported." Sean chuckles.
"Ha! Listen to me. Insinuating myself into their potential accomplishments.
Amazing things."
Turning his thoughts to other issues discussed, Sean opines "I have always
been, and will continue to be, a patron of the Hospital of Farab. It has
always been my desire to see such a hospital set up in any settlement we
establish at Dugal's Cove. However, given the frontier circumstances here,
with the threat of the Badmiral, a pair of dragons, associated goblinoids, and,
now, this Faltoc worshipping Dolphin fellow, I think we would be better served
establishing a commanderie of Ulsar. I have no idea how to go about making
such an attempt. Perhaps Speaker Greenmantle could reach out through Church
channels? To my knowledge, the only followers of Ulsar on the Great Isle are
paladins. Any in Aarell use the Temple as a place of respite, of course, but
it might be useful for Ulsar to have a place of worship here." Sean pauses.
"Of course, as with so many of my thoughts, such things are beyond my purview.
And, frankly, if Hagar is going to be laird here, whether or not a Priory or
Commanderie of Ulsar is established here is something he should have final
decision on. I think it would be a boon for attracting crusading type, who
will be useful in defending the Hold. And bringing in followers of Ulsar does
not in any way diminish any shrine to Artor the Speaker may wish erected. I am
rather ecumenical on the matter of Gods. The more the merrier, insofar as the
helpful ones are invoked. Farab, Ulsar, Trane... all compliment each other,
And Artor. And each in their way will be needed to counter the baneful
influences of Nalba, Daynip Dal and Fatloc. Plus, this place's recurrent use
as a marshalling yard for creatures from the Abyss can only be countered with
holy power of a more beneficial kind. Pehaps a letter directed to whoever the
high priest of Ulsar is." Sean pauses, a sad look in his eye. "It would also
provide a place where Paris could be cared for by his coreligionists." After
another short pause, Sean gives a wry smirk. "Maybe that fool Ambroz might be
able to provide something by way of a letter of introduction to the High
Priest. Not sure if he is Ulsarian or not, I always assumed most knights were.
It would give me a more concrete reason not to murder him than simply my
immortal soul or my rangerhood."
OOC: Maybe we should have put Sean into a coma....
