OOC Well, Hagar wanted to hit one at a time and give us rest and prep if
needed. Leave Sean and a smal crew at the back door of the cavern was OK,
sinceit will take a bit to get them there as we attack the crypt then
cavern.
Hurrumph, I need the best to disarm a mundane and magical trap that is well
protected against fire.
Holly can listen again then weho is best at trap disarm. Dispel magic
first then trap disarm??? I leave it up to the magical one to decide how
to approach this just resist fire on who does it the rest back off a bit to
avoid area affect and
we hit one door and go in that wa. I wil have a other door guard in case
things go out that way.

Can I assume, Sean, Nesgrous, Wally, Padrock, and Wolfgang are going to be
dropped off at "back porch" area of the caverns? The rest of the party will
make it to the graveyard. Manrug will ask how you want to gnomes deployed

western doors? One at a time? Which first? East? Holly or Ahearn? Is
anyone casting fire resistance on her/him prior to their playing with the
trap?

The DM will assume that Ahearn and John Mac will each toss
a stone at the same time, Ahearn's will land at the right side of the
entrance about a foot or so inside. John Mac's will go further inside. Both
will light up the cave entrance briefly. There are bunches of moving
shadows inside. After about three minutes the lights are extinguished. The
moving shadows continue afterwards.
Above, Holly will sense about three or four voices. One
pleading for mercy, one demanding sacrifice and obedience, and a couple
more lizard brain types thinking about eating fresh flesh. It is hard to
distinguish how many of the last are there as they are indistinguishable

Ahearn is certain that the
eastern crypt door is trapped with some type of explosive trap. Probably
fire from the bits of ash you find on the door. The structure seems
relatively unchanged, maybe a bit more beaten up. You do hear something
inside, but you can't figure out what it is.
The western crypt is also
trapped with some sort of explosive ruins or trap. This door smells of
sulfur and urine. You hear nothing in the western crypt. Structure is also
fairly much the same as you remember.

As mentioned, the
graveyard has definitely seen some battles. There are some discarded
weapons; mostly goblin quality. Sean is gathering them up into a pile a
scrap metal. There are extremely few pieces of equipment and almost no
remains save a couple of random digits here or there. No complete bodies
are visible. There are no recent graves and most of the extant graves

It is possible for
Sean and Ahearn to meet the larger group and make the landing a bit softer.
Sean and Ahearn will have bad memories of the two crypts in the graveyard
and did not enter them. They do still reek of the undead and rotting
creatures. There are bugbear and goblin weapons around. Lots of large
blackened patches probably from unnatural forces. There are a couple of
dragon prints in the ground, though they are not recent. Damn they are

We go in 3

Probably check out the graveyard, see if there’s anything there and secure

means without leaving people to watch over it.

All
that said, he is the most junior member of the expedition, so he waits,
trying to be patient, for word to move. Hagar, John Mac, Manrug, Donk,
Nesgrous, Rarmuck, Kelbis, Calbark, Jehick, Orumop, Pallas, Sanvyn,
Padrock, Wally, Wolfgang, fifteen more gnome mercs, Elmore, Carandolana,

secure a base, and then move?

will make a high pass over the cove and then the graveyard area. The
graveyard seems deserted. No movement at the cove. No ships in the harbor.
Holly's second, lower pass, will show definite signs of battle in the
graveyard. A closer inspection, but not too close, as Holly gets the
feeling something is watching her when she gets near the cavern entrance at
the Cove. She might have seen a couple of goblin-like creatures skitter
around, but too much underbrush to be sure.

Hurrumph, Holly good, recon the crypts and the cove too.
Jethro, I am not sure the cove is exactly safe to just sail into. Our
first goal was to clear out the crypts so I think we shall stay the course
and clear out the crypts then head to the cove.
If
Holly reports not much at the crypts and nothing at the cove like Duthoron
sensed then you might eb safe to sail in but I'd say plan to drop us off
near the crypt and let us march in. We can send someone to let you know if
it is good to enter the cove. Of course, if you want to go hunt for enemy
ships so be it. Getting us here is half the battle to me.
Group,
sound like a plan? Land, march to Crypt then on to the Cove. CLear out
the area then dig in for the Gobs and other nasties.

“So,
is the plan still to offload a ways away from the beach of the cove, out of
their site and make our way to the crypts to see who’s taken up residence,
deal with any goblins there before we check out the cove? If there are
goblins nesting in the crypts, we don’t want them showing up when we are
trying to deal with the Cove again. It’s somewhat worrisome if we show up
and there’s more demons or devils like last time. Two out of the three of
our main warriors we had last time aren’t here. “ Elmore

Ok,
Jethro has the group going south. The crew will spot several hunks of
debris along the coast from the storms. You will otherwise have an
uneventful trip south. When the Turtle is about 3 or 4 miles north of
Dugal's Cove, Jethro asks if you have a plan?
