You head back down the southern tunnel, noticing the entangled ogre laying limp in a tangle of roots. It seems to have bled to death after you retreated. You peak in the room and see two remaining ogres, one gorging itself on the rotting corpses.
You set up a tripwire with two powder bombs hanging from it outside the room, to both alert you if the ogres leave and damage them if they do so.
(-1 Tripwire, -2 Powder Bombs)You head back to the northern tunnel and begin exploring, first heading into the topmost room. There are two Kobolds going through the boxes and crates, and when they notice you they hold their spears upright in an attempt to look menacing. It is obvious that they are both terrified, as they are both trembling and have a fearful look in their eyes. You recognize them both from your previous jobs, one from the mill you raided and the other from the greenskin caravan.
“We aren't what you are here to kill!” One shouts, “If you let us leave we can tell you of the layout of the rest of the cave, and the risks you will face!”
Your job was the clear the ogres from the cave, stopping it from being looted was never part of the mission. Max says that if you bring proof of two would-be looters you could possibly get a bonus to your reward, but it isn't a sure thing. Your standing with the Kobolds right now is good, and it might not be worth risking hurting that.
