Noni continues building the fire so that the glow of illumination begins to spread further.

Approaching exhaustion, Tur tears at the final gobbler a frustrating slash just past its neck, then a satisfyingly devastating rake that leaves the goblin expiring on the floor.

Cursed makes it to the top and takes in the scene: Tur, several sleeping goblins, several dead, and one crawling to one of two back caverns, leaving a trail of blood. Tur is grievously battered and looks about to drop. Blood oozes from several wounds and off his claws. Cursed has enough time to ready his spear but not to make an attack.

A loud snap is heard from the second cavern extension as a thin vine binding breaks. Jeanpierre's prayers to Campita have been answered as divine strength floods him giving him enough of a mental boost to burst his bonds while his captors are otherwise engaged. His mouth is still gagged and his feet are still bound, but he has burst the bonds on his arms.

The crawling goblin dissapears into the first back cavern letting out a little coughing cackle.
 

Silently thanking Campita for her grace, Jeanpierre yanks the gag from his mouth and sets to work on the vines binding his legs.
 


"Quick we need healing up here, Tur is sorely wounded" Cursed cries over his shoulder as he rushes forward towards the escaping goblin, his spear at the ready.
 

Noni continues working on the fire.

Tur races after the crawling goblin, but as soon as the goblin stops its cackling Tur loses it in the dark.

Cursed however races past surefooted as his illonis senses guide him. Seeing the goblin reaching for a shelf with bottles on it the sorcerer's spear lashes out and strikes the goblin cleanly. The impaled goblin coughs his last and expires. Cursed shouts about the need for healing as Tur wobbles unsteadily on his feet.

Jeanpierre works on getting his gag off then moving to his leg bindings. The gobbling replaced by deeper barking, yipping, and growling shouts of a different unknown language.
 

Noni curses, but with the fire started, he leaves it to continute it's slow conflagron and heads quickly towards Tur, scrambling up the ropes, just barely lit by his small fire.

"I know little of his kind, but I will do what I can" replies Noni to Cursed

OOC:[sblock] Heal check to stabilize Tur [/sblock]
 

Cursed reaches for the bottle that the goblin had been making for "He was injured, perhaps he was trying to heal himself?" he mumbles under his breath. Picking up the bottle he turns and moves back towards Tur, flipping the lid off the bottle as he moves and sniffing at its contents.
 

Noni moves the cart from over the fire so its illumination is not blocked and rushes up the ropes at Cursed's shouts. His fire providing a little illumination at the edge of the cave though still heavily shadowed and dark further in.

Fatigue and loss of blood overwhelms Tur as the rush of battle leaves him. Weariness washes over him and the spider venom courses through his blood.

Inside the cavern Cursed drops his spear and reaches for the shelf containing multiple baked earth containers. He grabs the one he figures the goblin was most likely going for and opens it. There is a slosh of liquid from inside the container and it smells of fresh clean spring water.

Jeanpierre works off his leg bindings in his darkened cavern. He can hear more commotion outside it and there is a distant faint glow providing enough illumination for him to know a way out.

Light hacking snores can be heard from the upper cavern battlefield near Tur where goblins lay slumped.
