Getting the truth out shouldn't be a problem. Catching...goblins are stupid and happy to remain hidden, they will remain in the forest (hopefully) - splitting the party in the small forest is not such big risk as we just dealt with the most dangerous creatures around (probably). It's not without risks, but we loose very little time as it's already dark and we will sleep over in or near the palisades. Therefore if there are night-vision trackers or if the goblins left enough traces so that one not  trained in perception can track them we shouldn't really have trouble.Even assuming the goblins remained together and are already organized enough to be a threat, we don't want to fight them, only information (diplomacy) - which again we have party members for. Now, does Chael / [MENTION=2011]KarinsDad[/MENTION] have trained perception? If yes, why aren't you pointing the directions to those crazy enough to go in the darkness alone. I realize this might be skill challenge for a month of real time without any real benefit (if the goblins don't know anything), but I assume there will be some reward for the effort. Also, we might describe the actions in general and roll say three times skills you might consider using (ideally two or three different skills) and then leave FourMonos to untangle everything to something coherent <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/sblock]"Head start is only minutes. It'll be dark soon and they will not expect the pursuit immediately. We can get the information out of them as I don't have any intention of fighting or killing them if not necessary. Promise them they can go and they'll tell us whatever we want to hear. And no, they cannot lie to me, I read minds remember?As for splitting, you and Rhona should be able to handle whatever forces remain in this forest, I believe we destroyed most dangerous creatures around. Same for other groups. Only ones in real danger to attract some attentions are those that will be raising ruckus in the first place and they will be covered by those going in front stealthily. Reasonable or not, we might have a chance to catch some now. Not so in half an hour or more. And if they don't know anything we didn't loose anything by trying"</blockquote>
