It's not meant to be encouraging.

Frenz attempted to get Daniel to heal his wounds, but the doctor was too busy searching through the grove again. (6 {Bonus Negated for second search}) Despite having gone through grove once, he managed to find a few herbs he had overlooked, and put them into his kit as well. Wymar and Greenmoore also looked around the woods. (3, 3) Unfortunately for them, Daniel had taken all the useful plants and Frenz had found the only hidden treasure. Somewhat disappointed, the party continued down the trail.
It looked almost like the end was in sight. Up ahead were two massive wooden gates; one on the left, one on the right. The party was sure the one on the left went back to the goblin village, so the one on the right must be the way out. But where was the winch to open it?
NIGHTCRAWLERSgo south
Continue going south, light my lantern if it turned off.
Continue South
Search area for treasure, then South
Claire looked around the immediate area for treasure. (6; 1) One of the mermen was wearing a crude belt of human hide, with a pair of cloth pouches hanging from it. She liberated them; looked like there was gold there! (Claire gets 2x Bag of Gold!) Pierre tapped his lantern on the side; but it was all good; the thing was still on and running well since he'd never dropped it in the lake. The party headed south through the water.
It got shallower as they went; the ground was sloping up slightly. Suddenly, a heavy thump from somewhere nearby! It seemed to shake the cavern. As everyone looked around for it, there was a thin sort of slicing sound, like a sword cutting through silk. (Evasion Roll. A: 8 vs 3-2. K: 7 vs 7+2. D: 8 vs 5+1. IO: 6 vs 4+1. Everyone except Pierre takes 3 damage.) Something tore through Malleus's armor, gouging his upper arm, sliced Claire along the side, slashed Malakai in the left thigh, and whizzed back into the darkness from whence it came; only Pierre managed to dodge the sneak attack. What the hell was that? The party wasn't going to stand around. They hurried south and into a maze of corridors...
