He looks concerned as he says, "This cave seems to have much more to it than meets the eye at first. I wonder if we should press ahead or if we should..." the elf looks at Ardoss, "...wait and recover first."
"Perhaps we could barricade that first room with the barrels and casks in there and get some rest."
OOC: Tarowyn is wondering if Bhartus might be low on healing if we end up really needing it. And Ardoss needs more HP if we continue anyway.
