Drest

Drest's alignment is Neutral. I don't think he is violating any of its tenants.

Belloc
stays behind and holds action

Kainaxarthos

"Whatever. This whole thing has been a fiasco since we started a fight. Kill it or don't, nobody will mourn them." Kain has apparently spent too much time underground with Cyril the Doom Priest.

He moves to finish the search with the others.

Cyril follows behind Xenos in searching the looping tunnel. "This might be a short trip around this loop...all the better though. We can head back to the witches cabin and plan for what comes next."

Xenos

For clarity: Xenos is quite injured, he will assist anyone searching, but is not going in front.

Drest

Drest is fine just going to the cabin, we have several PCs in low single digits.

Taibhse

If the Dwarf gets out of view he will try to get others to go back to secure the boat.

"Stay behind me, my friend. I will heal you when we camp and I can brew up something."
Ceana walks in front of Xenos with torch in one hand, her falcata in the other.

Forgetting again there is no line of communication between the two parties, Sik continues to verbally threaten the fleeing dwarf. Disarming it before attacking it awake, all the desert barbarian gets in response from the unruly dwarf is a face full of spittle.

The others decide to let running dwarfs flee, instead looking through the remainder of their tunnels. The final cavern is filled with something very familiar to Cyril, as several of the tiny grublike dwarf maggots are scattered throughout this area. A total of 12 of these stinking creatures are found lying in hollowed out piles of refuse that were clearly assembled to protect the younglings. The pulsating yellow-orange grubs smell horribly and their tiny faces are hideous to behold. There is nothing else of value in the room, unless any of you cherish garbage and bodily waste.

Taibhse checks on the Matrons raft, finding it right where the group left it along the shoreline.

Ceana

Revolted at the maggots, the druid covers her mouth in an effort to keep from puking.
After several deep breaths, she manages, "We need to burn this place! Rid it of these abominations!"
She begins to rummage through her pack, producing 4 vials of oil.

Sik, frustrated with the dwarf, decides to kill it finally, trashing at it with his axe.

(is he still considered defenseless/prone?)

To hit: [1d20+2]=10+2=12 (THAC0:19), damage with battle axe: [1d10+2]=4+2=6
To hit: [1d20+2]=3+2=5 (THAC0:19), damage with battle axe: [1d10+2]=4+2=6

Akhilleus "I agree, Ceana. I'm out of words. Never imagined I would ever see something as hideous as this place.". The warrior helps Ceana with the burning.

Xenos

Disgusted by the sight, and leery of more fire, Xenos backs off and lets the others work.

Belloc
walks out with Taibshe to check on Crestos and the raft

Drest

Drest hangs out with Xenos.

Kainaxarthos

He nods at Ceana. "Agreed. Any value they had is gone. Best to rid the land of them, allow me." Kain will smash each one with his morning star, systematically going from crib to crib,

"Cyril has the last one, I think. Cyril!! Come dispose of your ward."

If burning is still desired, he will assist.

Cyril just sighs and fishes out his dwarf maggot. He tosses it amongst the oil and kindling and then departs. "Back to the cabin then?"

Taibhse

Seeing others drifting out he waits by the boat.

Once the maggots are killed and burned, the remainder of the cave is searched to reveal nothing else of interest.

Sik gladly kills the final unarmed dwarf as well, with a smile on his normally angry face.

Taibhse prepares the raft for a return to the Matrons Hut across the flowing waters.

Everything in that area appears just as it was left.

Actions?

Is the idea here to rest again? Head back up to the surface? Continue on into the unknown?

I think we need to rest some at least to regain hp.
