((That's a good point!))
Karl summons his hound and tries to have it search for the scent of others in the area. While that happens, he looks in his bag for his bedroll - perhaps it still smells a bit like Nadarr after he used it while sick.
((I'm not home, but I don't think we'll need many rolls for a bit))
You summon your hound and have him sniff the bedroll. Although you remember it doesn't smell of Nadarr, but goblin. Luckily, the hound picks up a scent and you follow it. You make it to the other end and follow a tunnel and make it out without any problems. He starts to sniff when you smell smoke and the hound stops for a bit because of the fumes messing with his senses. You follow along a second tunnel he led you to and you manage to see light on the other side coming from an alcove. You just get a glimpse of rope going up a rock and getting pulled back down repeatedly. The hound scratches it's nose from the very strong scent of burnt flesh and smoke. You assume it immediately to be Nadarr and Weston from the smoke and the owl hovering overhead. Within twenty minutes, you make it back with the others, though Nimue spots you halfway there.
Grumble and try repeatedly until it works.
You keep tossing the rope up and failing. You then turn around as Nimue screeches and see the others have found you, followed by a large cave crocodile. He still looks hungry after eating two of its dead kin, and eyes you greedily as it smells Elthia's food in your bag.
Thoradin laughs as he sees the others return, and downs some booze heartily in rejoice! ((Due to the fact of how weak the booze is and how high Thoradin's endurance is against booze, I'm not rolling this))
You all feel a deep tremor from a distance away. Now there are ~5 ways to go that the party knows as a whole; the ones that Thoradin and Cromwell went through that Alexander and Karl didn't come out of, the cave the two found along the way, and to return to the gate (which is still closed and no mechanisms were found)
The hound stills seems to be attempting to search with it's nose, but it cannot smell with the scent of smoke and a burnt dead body in the air...
