When the dawn light first shines through the cloud cover, Maelicent slowly begins to stir from beneath his shelter. Rising next to the toppled mallorn tree, his vanquished foe, the goblin looks about while adjusting his coat, armor and weapons. Even though he'd slept on the cold ground in the midsts of a fire-ravaged clearing he still felt better then he had a few short hours earlier. Taking deep breaths still strained his sore ribs, but at least his headache had quieted down to a manageable throb.
Picking up his cluster of sling-missiles, the Gudwulf warrior tucks their tattered tails into his belt before arming himself with his bow. In his off hand the goblin readies one of the incendiary arrows he'd prepared the previous evening along with one of the stolen mongrel-gnomes' fire-wands. Slowly and stealthily, Maelicent backtracks to the site of the horned-rabbit attack to spy whether the skeletal rats had vacated the area or not. Seeing that they had, the goblin moves forward to truss-up the least savaged carcass and sling it across his small frame. Being nearly as big a he is, it proves to be quite a burden but Maelicent had been through a great deal already and was loathe to return to the crag without what he'd originally set out to acquire. Before heading back towards the crag, the goblin stops to examine the over-sized rat's skull and decides to take it with him as a curiosity.
Moving cautiously through the forest, the Gudwulf warrior remains suspicious of the unmoving trees around him. Apparently they'd learned their lesson as they displayed no inclination to meddle in the goblin's progress or to initiate another confrontation with him. Beneath his horned helmet, Maelicent allows a grim smile to spread across his face; once more he'd proven that he was the master of his forest.
Collecting deadfall wood along the way, Maelicent finally arrives at the base of the crag. The rope he'd used to repel down had remained suspended where he'd left it the night before. Unloading his cargo onto the ground, the goblin first ties the trussed up carcass and bundle of firewood to the end of the rope before starting the climb up. Clambering up onto the ledge, the cautious goblin notices a pile of water-soaked vomit and moves quietly to ready his bow and nock a black-fletched arrow to its string before peaking through the entrance.

Sitting with his back against the cave wall, Chev is dressed in his full battle gear with his axe in his lap. He keeps both eyes and ears alert to the possible dangers of the cave.

Sitting and leaning on the cavern's rock wall, where the sun rays enter from the gap and fall on his book, the jar of mushroom that he took from the gnomes is already half empty. Gamad focus himself on his precious brown book, he flips the pages, memorize and mumbles with the language of the dragons.
Now, let's see what I have here.
He raps his book with a bundle of leather and puts it in his pack, he then takes out his scroll case and takes out the scrolls Brakkus gave him from the gnomes.
Taking out his prism, he mumbles few words and places the prism on the scrolls.
*Read Magic on the scroll with the 3 spells.

"What happened to you? Any chance you finally bring in food?" Chev says as he stands and greets Mael. "You were gone the entire night."

Maelicent jerks a thumb over his shoulder to indicate the cave opening. "Yeah. Sure. If ya so hungry than ya can be tha one ta haul it on up here." The Gudwulf warrior looses the giant desiccated rat skull from his belt and tosses it towards Chev. "Three o these damned things were lying in wait with the rabbit carcasses last night." The goblin stretches, sets down his bow and hunkers down on the cave floor. "Couldn't make it back last night. Tha trees went an got their roots in a twist and tried ta block me and get me lost. I had ta set tha forest on fire ta get em outta my way. They didn't care much for that an a mallorn an oak tried ta make mulch outta me. Rough night." Maelicent again sniffs the air. "What's tha smell?"

"We had an issue with some sort of creature of our own up here." Chev says as examines the skull Maelicent tossed him. "It lacked substance as it was formed from shadows and didn't appear to be undead. We chased it off, but I feel we got lucky."
She sets the skull down on the cave well next to where he sits and proceeds to stand up. "Once the battle was over with, there was a body. Brakkus can let you know more about that as he seems to know who it was."
Walking over to Mael, Chev notices some bruises. "Mind if I take a look at any injuries you might have?"

Maelicent dismisses Chev's offer of help with a hand wave. "I aint hurt. That carcass could use yer help more than me. Ya'd best get ta pulling on tha rope if ya want some meat; it aint gettin any fresher out there." The goblin looks around curiously. "So ya chased off a shadow, but it left a corpse?"

The dwarf raises his look to the goblin
You are a mess, clean yourself or something but don't touch the lake.
He thinks for a moment and reply from where he sits
Now that you mention it, I wonder if the shadow was the evil part of the woman's soul, being in such a cave, surrounded by such a vile forest can change your soul, unless the woman knew where the second segment of the wand lies, you saw what the wand did to me, she might possessed the second part before she fell to his vile curse.
The dwarf face falls in sorrow, he close the jar of mushrooms and pack it back.
