Hmmm...
I cant seem to access our IC or OOC threads viathe enworld mobile app. Strange.
So unless you decide to linger at the hole you dug, I think you have escaped the oozing Temple.
Level up to 4th level. NPCs will stay at level 2. They'll go to level 3 when you hit 5.
So where from here? Back to the ruins of Sloobludop to see if you can retrieve any supplies and maybe some boats? Follow the path along the lake toward Gracklstugh? Something else? Take a long rest here or wait until you are further away? (4th level benefits don't kick in until you complete a long rest).
SunGold, are you still with us?
