Sasha and Gerund:
Gibney looks crest-fallen as Sasha dresses him down. The two guards stand by by quietly as Sasha and Gerund "discuss" what to do next. Sasha moves to the entrace way. "You can wait for Poot or you can come with me," she says to Gerund. "The sooner we get started the sooner this nightmare ends."
The older guard, Val, interupts with a cough. "Beg pardon mam, but that's what young Gib here was trying to tell you. Poot already went town that there tunnel. Your lady friends followed after him."
Sasha looks at Val with smouldering fury, then over at Gibney. The young guard is busily looking at his feet, so she wheels on Gerund, who shrugs once, hefts his shield and heads down the passage. Sasha sputters, mabye an apology, mabye a curse, and stomps after the paladin.
After maybe eight or nine hundred feet of darkness, the passage splits in four. From the northernmost branch you see a bobbing green light approaching.
Poot, Yola, Seoni:
"Nuthin' back there but a cave-side entrance the greenies were usin'. I dispatched their quarelsome tribe with a thunderous fireball." Poot, now more confidant in his magical abilities, causes his lantern to glow a soft green and hover three feet in front of him, with much waving of his hands. (Poot casts light and prestidigitation on the lantern.) "Follow me m'ladies. There are many more ebinous passageways for our scrutinous eyes to illuminize!" With that Poot heads off randomly down one of the unexplored passages.
As Poot parades back down the passage, Shoanti and Varisian exchange an exasperated glance, then fall in line behind Poot's bobbing lantern.
All:
The three companions reach the cross roads at almost the same time as Gerund and Sasha. Now reunited, the heroes take a momment to catch each other up to speed ( feel free to read each other's back threads ), then decide how to proceed. There are still two unexplored tunnel branches. One leads north west towards the beach, the other leads south east towards the centre of town.
So all the characters are back together (and back on one page, wewh!). You guys need to decide what to do next: explore one of the passages, return to town, sit down and sing songs . . . Also, theres is some outstanding book keeping to take care of. First, Sasha and Seoni need to each visit their character pages and pick one of the choices given there (Bloodline for Seoni, Rogue Talent for Sasha). Secondly, the party found some loot during their encounters with the goblins so far but didn't really decide who was getting what - its kind of been floating around in limbo. So I have arbitrarily divided it up as follows:
Poot - gets Tsuto's Flute and short bow
Sasha - gets one potion of healing ( because she gets hurt the most :) )
Gerund gets the other healing potion ( because he has to heal Sasha the most ;> )
Seoni - gets Tsuto's magic ring of protection +1
Yola - gets, well, nothing.
Finally, I really do want to keep the pace of the game going, so I will be keeping to the Sunday and Wednesday updates. Anybody who has not posted by that time will be dragged along with the action.

"Considerin' the green prigs will be attackin' sooner than later I say there's no time to waste. We need to explore these other 2 passages and either booby trap the main passage or get the townsfolk to collapse the entire thing."
I agree that the entrance needs to be collapsed, what about going to the tunnel that leads towards town, if they came up in that child's closet who knows how many hidey holes they have in the town.

"We booby trap" Sasha says.
"The snots are stupid but they can also be clever. We send the townspeople to collapse these things and the snots will be onto it before we're ready. They'll come up with something else and we're back where we started. If we booby trap it we catch them by surprise and take a few of them out as well."
Sasha thumbs the handle of her whip rubbing the spot where her father carved her name.
"The blacksmith and I can scout out the first tunnel. We both have healing potions so we should be okay. As for the townspeople we should keep them out of this as much as possible ... let them sleep in their beds. It's where they belong."
Sasha raises an eyebrow waiting for someone to either accept her idea or offer her a challenge.
to Sasha,
"Sounds good. Yola, and Seoni will scout the southeast passage while Sasha and Gerund take the Northwest. I'll head back to town and grab the Sheriff. I'll have to find some hunters or rangers that can help set up the boobytraps. Remember, take the long way back to town -- don't need you setting off the boobytraps once they're set."
Fine with me, Seoni you're with me, better get those spells ready girl!

'Got it. Thanks Poot. Okay, let's go! We've got some goblin heads to separate from their owners," Gerund said, sword and shield ready.
OOC: Just a reminder that the sheriff is currently out of town, and the only true ranger worth her salt is out reconoitering goblin lairs at the momment.
Sasha follows Gerund to the passage.
"Please tell me that one of us has a torch."
