We went to check the other room and the stairs Bruthazmus had been heading for. The room looked like where you keep chickens. Someone said that that's how goblins breed their children.

We opened another door and it turned out to be a corridor leading to several doors looking like living quarters. As the others have heard of my experience in searching rooms I opened the doors and took the first look, making sure they were empty before entering. I also know a thing or two of where people often hide their things. The first room turned out to be quite properly ordered and had some papers lying around. I guessed that it belonged to Tsuto. A quick glance on the papers told me I was right and was about his plans to extort his father. The next room was messier and I knew it would be Oriks. The clothes thrown about confirmed that it belonged to a man of his size at least. We collected his things into a sack and continued to the next room. I looked to be unoccupied at a first. A closer look revealed a very neatly packed chest under the bed. In it was a womans clothes matching Lyrie. We packed those too. I tried to ceep them in as good order as I could. The last room was in less order and had almost no things in it. Some strands of hair in the bed made me sure that Bruthazmus lived there. The last room was at the end of the corridor and was bigger than the others. It contained a desk and a big bed with black satin sheets. I immediately tried to find out how it would feel to lay on those. It felt great! I rolled around some and searched the bed for any things that might be hidden in it. We didn't find anything of note there.

We went back and continued down another corridor. I sneaked ahead to scout in advance. It was a storage room with some crates and a lot of garbage that had been *recycled* by the goblins. I could hear the sound of the sea outside from another tunnel leading further ahead. I whispered to the others and we continued. It lead to a cave with an opening out to sea which was covered by ivy.

I reacted quickly and slid out of the grip and looked up. There, near the ceiling hung a strange and unnatural creature looking like a brain with tentacles. I rolled out of the way from it, but it reached after me again with its long tentacles. I couldn't get away and they squeezed me so hard I coughed up blood. I managed again to slink away and attack it but it attacked me and grabbed me yet again. Then it pulled me up to its mouth and bit me leaving deep wounds and a poison that dazed me. I could hardly breathe as the tentacles squeezed me harder and harder. I can vaguely remember that Honeypot healed me some and Nathaniel cut straight through the tentacle holding me, leaving it twisting on the floor. Before I had time to hide, it grappled me once more, but now Velicia use her thundering storm spell and blew the monster out the opening. I held on for dear life and the monster lost its grip on me. Nathaniel drew his pistol and with a deafening roar he fired at it. I threw my trusty dagger straight into the big brain wounding it severely. From the damage it takes from our onslaught it slowly falls down to the surface. Dorothea fires strange magical effects after it when a shadow is seen below the surface. Some sea monster swallows the grell whole and disappears.

Honeypot was quite shook up after the last fight and didn't really want to carry on, but after being encouraged by us others she agreed to follow close behind as we continued on.

We went to check the doors leading from the room and the stairs Bruthazmus had been heading for. The first door led to a room that looked like where you keep chickens. Someone said that that's how goblins breed their children. The stairs led up. At the end there was a door but it was blocked from the other side. Dorothea told us using message, that there was someone at the stairs we had blocked and we told her that it was us.

She unblocked the door and came down the stairs to join us. Then followed a short lesson in tactics where Nathaniel draw from his experience from the Sandpoint militia and told us to work better together. I don't know much about that stuff but I will try to keep it in mind.

We opened another door and it turned out to be a corridor leading to several doors looking like living quarters. As the others had heard of my experience in searching rooms I opened the doors and took the first peak in, making sure they were empty before entering. I also know a thing or two of where people might hide things. The first room turned out to be quite properly ordered but had some papers lying around. I guessed that it belonged to Tsuto. A quick glance at the papers told me I was right and it was about his plans to extort his father. The next room was messier and I knew it would be Oriks. The clothes thrown about confirmed that it belonged to a man of his size at least. We collected his things into a sack and continued to the next room. It looked to be unoccupied at a first, but a closer look revealed a very neatly packed chest under the well made bed. In it were a womans clothes matching Lyrie. We packed those too. I tried to keep them in as good order as I could. The last room was in less order and had almost no things in it. Some strands of hair in the bed made me sure that Bruthazmus lived there.

The last room was at the end of the corridor and was bigger than the others. It contained a chair, a desk and a very big bed with black satin sheets. I immediately tried to find out how it would feel to lay on those. It felt great! I rolled around some and searched the bed for any things that might be hidden in it. We didn't find out anything of note in the room, except the sheets and that the bed could be dismantled.

We went back and took the last door we hadn't checked and went down another corridor. I sneaked ahead to scout in advance. It was a storage room with some crates and a lot of garbage that had been recovered by the goblins. I could hear the sound of the sea outside from a tunnel leading further ahead.

The monstrous grell.

I reacted quickly and slid out of the grip and looked up. There, near the ceiling hung a strange and unnatural creature looking like a brain with tentacles and a beak. I retreated carefully away from it, but it reached after me again with it's long tentacles. I couldn't avoid it and the tentacle grabbed me and squeezed me so hard I coughed up blood.
