Loot the gold, try to figure out how much in ounces it is, not likely enough for analyze magic but meh its a start, think we should call it quits looking for gremlins, this is a good enough find for now. Also yay, tarot cards, more props for tricking people. (not that we do much tricking but meh, if we need to we can)

You peek outside and check. Still just before noon. You probably have about five hours before it gets dark, and about 3 hours of travel will put you outside the gremlin hunting range. If you search for 4 hours and walk an hour, you're gambling that you can walk the other 2 hours of travel at a faster pace than the gremlins.

You, Pearl, and Charlotte search the cottage carefully while Claire stands guard. The arrows are too old to be useful - but they've only been here a couple years. Pearl found 3 gold coins and Charlotte found 18. Pearl pulls out the coffer from her pack, picks the lock, and they pour the coins in. You found 12. Will you reveal how many you found? The searching was all stooped digging and rummaging, so they wouldn't know it if you pocketed some.

Your Lame Torch finally goes out.

The compound is arranged like this, with descriptions you can tell from the outside, or a more detailed italicized description if you've explored it:

                                            [North, overlooks bridge]

                                Store             Guard Tower           Open Space

[West, overlooks cliff]    Stable                    Well                    Entrance Gate    [East, down to road]

                                Smithy Shed          Lodge              Cottage

                                                    [South]

You're in the cottage.

The area is quiet.

Claire, Charlotte, and Pearl are here. Everyone is completely covered in blood, and Pearl is also caked with black coal dust.

Ask, if worst comes to worst, can we hole up here for the night? Can gremlins tear down sturdy walls or doors?

We have no reason to hide the coins, gold isn't that valuable to them IIRC.
The Gremlins would probably just kill us frog, then bring us to their lair, if they dont just eat us on the spot that is.
No harm in asking, was thinking we should head home and store our new goods, take what we can of the salamander meat, gremlins will probably eat it otherwise, but if we can hole up here we should go back get the meat and return here to hole up. Only if we have the time of course.

Give them the gold to put in the box, and do we have any rope?

We can't open the box right now. But we've got some gold now, which is why we came out here in the first place. If we can hole up here, great, but if not we might want to weigh it and possibly go home.

The Gremlins would probably just kill us, then bring us to their lair, if they don't just eat us on the spot that is.

"The gremlins have a lair near here, to the west. They drag their victims there to be eaten alive, which means there's probably a concentration of equipment, magic items, and treasure. Anything we can't use ourselves could be a bargaining chip or trade goods."

I stand corrected then, been a month mate.
Edit:Your suggestion is still pretty bad, they might tie us up and even if they don't what makes you think we could even take on a lair of gremlins?

It sounds like they've captured people far better equipped than us, that's for sure.

You reveal the coins you found, and add them to the stash (which is on Pearl's equipment list because she's carrying it).

Ask the women if they have any rope.
Claire has a 50' coil of rope.

Ask, if worst comes to worst, can we hole up here for the night? Can gremlins tear down sturdy walls or doors?
Pearl thinks. "It looks like somebody tried to hole up in here, and their barricades were torn down. Probably also that front room on the upper floor of the shop. Barricades don't seem to work well. But we haven't seen a gremlin up close, only at some distance in the dark, and it was in the woods. So I don't know."

You hear a commotion outside the front gate. It sounds like rough, high-pitched voices arguing, and the clank of metal.

The compound is arranged like this, with descriptions you can tell from the outside, or a more detailed italicized description if you've explored it:

                                            [North, overlooks bridge]

                                Store             Guard Tower           Open Space

[West, overlooks cliff]    Stable                    Well                    Entrance Gate    [East, down to road]

                                Smithy Shed          Lodge              Cottage

                                                    [South]

You're in the cottage.

The area is quiet.

Claire, Charlotte, and Pearl are here. Everyone is completely covered in blood, and Pearl is also caked with black coal dust.

Your party hides in the dim cottage, and a troupe of goblin cavalry encased in plate, riding armored lizard-roosters, rides in through the gate one by one. They're grumbling and blurting things to each other hollowly from inside their closed helmets, stabbing things with their lances, generally making a scene. They peer into each of the buildings but don't go in.

A goblin looks into the cottage, bending low from his mount, his helmeted head swiveling so he can see through the tiny eye slit. He doesn't see you pressed against the front wall to his left, and turns to leave.

The compound is arranged like this, with descriptions you can tell from the outside, or a more detailed italicized description if you've explored it:

                                            [North, overlooks bridge]

                                Store             Guard Tower           Open Space

[West, overlooks cliff]    Stable                    Well                    Entrance Gate    [East, down to road]

                                Smithy Shed          Lodge              Cottage

                                                    [South]

You're hiding in the cottage.

The area is raucous with goblin cavalry.

Claire, Charlotte, and Pearl are here. Everyone is completely covered in blood, and Pearl is also caked with black coal dust.
