Aoife needs to make a Laborer Test, Ob3. Is anybody going to narrate helping her?

Sounds like an opportunity for Rabon's Rough Hands (which shields him from consequence, at least).

I believe that's only Wises.

I’m going to tap my Nature! ‘Delving’ literally means ‘to dig or excavate’, so I’m hoping that saving these fools is within my nature.

Oops, right.

That definitely sounds applicable. You have Laborer 2, right. Plus your Nature dice, plus possible help from Rabon. Allric is probably too banged up to help unless he can use a Wise.

Laborer also lets you carry two full large sacks, so I think we can load ourselves up with our gear.

Rabon will help, of course. (Or treasure is in there!) Just remember to make him grope because he's using Peasant.

(A bit busy to post for the next hour or two)

I can’t figure out the inventory math, but Aoife is happy to lug treasure around if required - just let me know!

Does the darkness continue to persist?

Does the room with the beds and the securable doors which we cleared seem inherently less safe than the tower (with it's open windows)?

If so, I say we camp and return to check again. We can take a few trips to get the extra good back to camp with us.

We have someone do a Survivalist check to "prepare camp" and gut us the +1 to the camp events check, then we rest.
- Allric tries to brew an Elixir for Afraid for Aiofe.
- Aiofe gets to fix Rabon's helmet.
- Rabon gets to cook a meal.
- we have two checks for recovery tests.

Then we see if that's oong enough for the darkness to have dissipated.

Tough call. The kobold's break-room is certainly more enclosed, and only has one entrance. It's much smaller, though, so it would be cramped if something went wrong. It's also closer to the kobold lair, and obviously it's a place that the kobolds sometimes come. I'm thinking that just about anything on-site would be at least unsafe. But then again, kobolds are unlikely to actually get into where you are...

Ok. I'd say that the kobold break-room is (just barely) a safe camp.

Also, yes. The darkness persists.

What about the room where we found the first dwarf skeleton, but I think we broke down the door to get in there.

The door isn't broken, but there's nothing to hold it closed. Also, that room is even smaller than the other one (which is technically two connected rooms).

Well, a safe camp is better than the tower, which we only moved from dangerous to unsafe.

Can Thag role-play securing the Kobolds break room with a Survivalist check? That gets the +1 to camp events which mitigates the "disaster" effect.

Okay, this is what is on the floating disc:

(2 slots) Crossbow (unusable without quarrels)
(1 slot) an intricately crafted silver hammer, bearing an engraved image on the head (7D)
(1 slot) scroll of "Sanctuary of the Lord of Shields"
(nil) a brittle page, "Forgive me, dark father of the forge, my toils shall never be enough."
(2 slots) A large, gilded, gem-encrusted book
(1 slot) Fresh Rations (2) - from Galen
(1 slot) Oil (2) - from Galen

Aiofe has a large sack which can hold six slots. Allric will carry the crossbow and the rest fits in the sack.

Aiofe can hand her hammer off to Thag or Rabon to carry with their free hand (and use two hands on the large sack) or she can pass an Ob 2 Laborer test to carry the sack one-handed.

Or, I asked above, can we just make two trips? If we are now camping in the Kobolds break room, we are only moving a few feet.

Two trips? To get the loot from the floor to the camp? Seems reasonable, though you never know until you try.

Also, Survivalist is a little weird, but yes, I guess Thag can set up camp, make things more comfortable and whatnot for a Survival Test. Ob1.

Of course, if something goes wrong, the Grind is right around the corner. Up to you guys.

If i may, Thag had a pretty big roll in the recent fight and scouting rooms prior to entry. On the other hand, Berry is still behind on taking tests and has Survivalist 3. And traits he can use to his advantage.
Survivalist 3 + 1D (help), and even maybe earn another check with his trait, now that I'm thinking about it. We certainly have enough conditions to use them on...

It would also allow Berry to step up and protect Thag from danger/work after his near death experience.

I didn't realize Berry had Survivalist - that's a good idea.

Berry would be willing to help. Did we record that I did use defender against myself last test to earn a check. So I could use one trait for a check here perhaps. Defender for being over protective if that makes sense?

Berry can make the Survivalist roll, I'll help if he wants it.

Should I Scout the room first, to see if any kobolds have come back? It's an instinct so no grind, and I'm one passed test away from leveling up in Scout.
