Scouting Ahead
After stabilizing
Kelben and giving way to
Sky,
Aubron confirms the nearby fire pit contains nothing more than some small animal bones and crude spear tips.
Sky leans over the fallen gnome, and putting her bard talents to use, sings a traditional Taxabi lullaby while casting a '
cure' spell on
Kelben, reviving him.
"Feeling better?" Farador asks of the recovering gnome, while also complimenting
Sky' healing abilities.
"Corellion would approve," he says.
Kelben's eyes shoot open and he gasps deeply.
"I was dead for a moment wasn't I?" he asks, already knowing the answer.
"Yes, quite better now, thanks," he says, mindful of not ignoring Farador's question. Once he's up on his feet and able to dust the sand out of his clothes and wounds, he urges the group to push forward.
Aubron, who has a knack for hunting orcs and goblins, picks up some tracks left by the creatures originating by the fire pit, which lead down the stairs.
"I'll be back very soon," he says, producing his longbow and readying himself for the hunt. With a confident nod, the ranger begins to follow the tracks down the 5-foot wide steps of matted dirt and sand which are roughly-carved. Unfortunately, he is so focused on not losing track of the smattering of goblin tracks he's following he doesn't notice the plumb-sized stone which he accidently kicks and sends rolling down the stairs in front of them, causing a considerable amount of noise, especially when the goal is to to move quietly.
Thankfully, the rock stops rolling pretty quickly as it reaches a landing at the end of the first "zig" which is roughly 20-feet below the ridge where the rest of the group waits.

This new landing area is full of goblin tracks, scattering in all directions, but the ranger is able to easily follow multiple sets which continue down the next "zag" in the set of switchback stairs, which
Aubron can see descend another 20-feet or so before settling on what appears to be another landing.
