"Let's go see what untold treasure the beast slept with. Shall we?""A few silver, I'd wager. But yes, I think a quick look-see is in order," Tosh says. He glances at Bufer and catches the cleric's disapproving look. "There wasn't anything else in there, Bufer. I'd have seen it. Besides, it might be a good idea to see if that tunnel leads out. After we finish that up, we can check this room for the riddle of the mirrors. I believe we still have plenty of torchlight left; it's only been a hour or so."He looks at the rest of the party."I hope we weren't considering taking those mirrors back to Maidensbridge by hand. We can get a wagon or cart and come back for them. I'd say just leave them in the center room where they lay."On the other hand, we shouldn't have any trouble carrying out the weapons and what not we gathered from the bones. What d'ya think?"Emmerson slowly stands up, his mind half-refusing to accept that he's still alive despite the extensive damage his scale mail suffered. He moves one hand over the broken area, slowly feeling what minutes before was a deadly wound."I thank you for the ministering received. I would not be alive now if it wasn't for you. And for that, I am deeply in your debt," the paladin says, wetting his dry lips. "I think we are not in shape for another sortie. Renraw and I are incapable of sustaining another blow and I doubt Bufer has more healing spells left. That said, I agree with Tosh. We can do some light exploration to see what else was there in the areas we know are safe and then return to Maidensbridge to rest, heal and recover."Bufer chews his bottom lip, considering Tosh's argument. He glances from his fellow gnome to the others, then sighs and nods reluctantly."All right," he says, shaking his head. "But let's make it quick, yes? I'd like to start the journey back to town while the sun's still relatively high in the sky. Gettin' set upon by wolves and such in the dark on the walk home is the last thing we need."Bufer turns around and bends over to scoop the torch he'd been carrying up off the floor."Listen, while you lot ransack that thing's cave, I'm gonna head back and take a closer look at those corpses. I don't think the beast had anything to do with those odd-lookin' cysts I saw, after all, and I'd like to be sure we're not bringin' a plague back with us to Maidensbridge. Anybody got a knife or a dagger I can borrow?""Here you go." Tosh hands Bufer a dagger, sheath and all. "Might be a good idea for someone hale to go with him. Just, you know, to keep an eye on his back."Hazel stiffly rises to her feet."Thanks for the patch job, Bufer. I see anymore creatures, and I'm jumpin' outta the way." She stows her axe and grabs her torch. "I'm up for taking a look at the owlbear's den, though."Bufer, Emus and Tucker head back downstairs to examine the slain kobolds.Tosh looks off into the darkened tunnel."Let's get this out of the way, shall we?" He motions for the others to follow and heads off into the tunnel.Hazel examines the size of the animal's teeth, paws and claws to help her recognize an owlbear in case she ever runs across signs of another one, then follows Tosh's group.</blockquote>
