At close to Noon after mostly fruitless searches where only 5 goblins were located and some mining tools the party is marching single file tracking some footprints no more than 1 hour old. Rüdan & Rorimac* are doing a fine job. The party has left two groups of 6 Dwarves behind. Óttarr, Rafin, Áki, Tobbe, Gedda & Fridi are about 1500’ back. Hvatar, Vakr, Sparr, Gautor, Sölvi & his brother Sörli are about 700’ back at a Y intersection. Each group has a horn and a series of basic horn calls have been set up.
Mulligan* is roughly 60’ ahead of the trackers and staying near the walls. She hears the marching Dwarves of course but she also hears whispering as she approaches a cross passage. “Ready boys, dem beardies are nearly on us. Time to make them pay in blood.”
Mulligan peers around the corner and just makes out in the darkness a few shapes and perhaps a pair of loaded dart shooters. They are set only 12’ back. On the other side is a 5’ wooden barricade with pike holes. The cross passage is a major one and 12’ wide. She also sees a fine dust is spread on the floor.
