Ok, the path stops here after leaving the goblins' place. It intersects another tunnel. Dugut says that left heads to the river, and right goes to the magma flow. People going both directions have turned up missing, lately.

Left to the river!

>>262577
Let's definitely head to the river first, we might find some iron so we can make a bucket for some magma.

River first.

River

>>262577
Lets see what we find in the direction of the river. Keep your eyes out for anything hostile.

What were we doing again?

I keep hearing good things about this river.

Disappearing group of guards by the magma. We should have our weird hairball pet that was found by a dormant magma vent in our left hand, too. So let's go to the magma.

OK, we'll head to the river first. Looks like there's a big chamber up ahead.

Keep your eye on that hole in the upper left corner, and approach cautiously. Ask the goblin if he sees anything good in said hole. Do you hear water or anything?

Use your scanner on the area, especially before walking in front that hole in the ceiling.

Investigate the stalagmite.

>>262753
Looks like a very good ambush site. Send in Dugut first, tell him to be careful.

yeah, I can faintly hear water from the other side of this room.

>>262762
Hmm, looks like there's three large creatures farther back, nothing in the hole.

>>262791
it looks like a normal one, from what I can tell.

>>262875
What should I tell him to do, exactly?

>>262917

What is their height? Any features you can recognize with the heat vision. I assume the details are indistinguishable, but a frame, height and features like the number of fingers should tell us what we might have to deal with.

Hmm, big.. I'd guess about about two and a half meters tall or so, heavy frame, and it's got only two fingers. They're pretty far away.

Looks like trolls. See if we can get their attention for a visual, and confirm it before opening fire.

Definitely aim your gun at them though and prepare to fire.

>>262920
Tell him to watch your back and make sure nobody sneaks up on us.

Hook up the heavy maser and fire at will.

Proceed and attack if necessary, I don't think you should just shoot at them until you're sure they're not docile.

Trolls indeed. You should attack, but make sure you won't get flanked. That Maser is pretty damn good, but damn. If we get in CQC, we're fucked. Make sure that goblin is covering our ass.

>>262920
Looks like there might be a fight ahead. Tell him to watch your back, be ready to step in if they get too close and keep an eye on the hole.

Load up with delicious heavy weapons and prepare to blast some weird ass creatures.

Aren't troll eggs pretty valuable? Hide in the hole, make some sort of noise to attract them past you (or have Dugut act as a lure), then sneak behind them to pilfer the eggs. This also works as a flanking manoeuvre.

OK, I'm in the hole now, they aren't trolls, but three large bipeds. They appear to have no eyes.

Shout down at them if they want some cash to see if they are sapient/hostile. Being that you're in the hole, they probably can't easily get to you, so you will not be giving up the advantage of the high ground/good ranged attacks.

What's that red thing in the lower right there?

Well that got their attention! That was probably a bad idea now that I can get a good look at them.

>>263267
That's Dugut.

...I guess we should start shooting, huh?

Yeah, let's shoot those motherfuckers. After firing, use your remaining actions to move further into the hole.

Whoa, they're really pissed off now. My warning shot didn't scare them off. Now they keep throwing broken off stalactites and rocks in the hole.

How far up does the hole go now? Poor goblin. I hope he had the sense to run.

>>263287
Wait for them to stop then wave your gun out there to see if they can see at all.

I agree, wait for them to stop and quietly peek out to see how they sense you, whether by hearing or something else.

Put on your mask just in case they aim for the face.

>>263287
Wait for their rockthrowing to die down a bit. Then respond with superior firepower and kill their fucking asses.

They don't seem to notice me, I can be fairly certain that they navigate by sound. Any one I should aim for?

Shoot the bottom left one, from our perspective. It's got the best angle to throw things back at you.

And position your considerable self to get the fuck out of the way in a hurry.

>>265136
Agreed.

>>265136
That does seem like the one to shoot. And having a plan for rapid redeployment is always good.

I blast one of them right in the head! It lets out a horrible low bellow and a cloud of its unnatural colored blood boils out of the wound. It falls to the ground. That seemed to scare the other two off.
>>265136
My what?

>>263332
((I meant to address this last post, but a gas mask offers no protection from damage))

sweet, fight or flight instinct kicked in and since they saw nothing to fight then flight was their only option.

Check on Dugut.

Investigate the monster more closely to see if you can determine what it is a mutated version of.

Don't unplug your maser yet.

I've got no idea what this thing is. It sure smells horrible, I can't tell if the burning is an improvement or not. Dugut had the good sense to hide when he caught sight of them.

Keep heading to the river. Keep your eyes peeled.

If you ask me it's a giant naked mole rat. Some kind of... moleratman.

Let's continue onwards.

>>265166
Mole rats are hive-based mammals if I remember... that wouldn't bode well.

Also your ass is big. Like, super big.

>>265190
It's true.

>>265190
What are you talking about? Her ass is delicious size. Stop putting your camera perspective so close to her tail and you won't have this problem.

Her ass is a completely normal size for a Lohrke.

it's a bit on the small side if anything

Could stand being bigger. Onwards!

>>265155
Not quite sure why a humanid without eyes should wear pants if not as a storage.

Loot the body and tell Dugut to cut open it's stomach ... maybe we find one of the missing goblins or something of value.

>>267028
I've yet to see a loincloth with built-in pockets. Still, if the aclops have clothes, then they probably have other belongings.

Should we head upstream or downstream?

Upstream is clearly where the treasure is.

Downstream.
You're looking for some shit if I remember correctly and shit tends to get flushed downstream.

Left.

>>267173
Look for tracks before deciding. If you find stuff indicating that the big uglies cam from any direction then go after them.

If you don't find any tracks then I guess downstream works.

>>267173
Downstream or Upstream?

Any information about where the river might be headed or where it came from? Maybe the slightest of clues? Some rumor you heard?

Else you could just throw a coin.

>>267173
Upstream

Upstream is most likely to contain a secret

>>267170
Hey don't be a pussy.
Tt's dugut who will cut them open for you.
Do you want to know if those ... things ate the goblins or not?

You can go upstream after that.

Follow tracks. If no tracks can be found by your tracking buddy, go left.

OK, there are some tracks headed to the right, which is upstream. As far as I know this river could originate at an aquifer or it could come from the Forbidden Place.

>>267636
Well then, sneak your way forward and keep an eye out for anything weird.

Every now and then sneak a peek with the scanner. Maybe something interesting's in the water or on the walls... or further up the river.

Also make sure nothing's coming up behind you.

>a secret has been revealed!

Hmm, what's this? It looks like a boat or something. There's also a side passage that I suspect heads toward the chasm if my directional sense is correct.

>>267662
...perhaps the Illithid slaver's boat?

>>267662
Investigate boat. Then investigate side tunnel for tracks.

Steal dat boat. Go moar upstream.

Scan the side-passage and look into it.
If there's no obvious danger tell your slave to guard the passage and check the boat for any clues.
And no, don't fucking steal it. You're not some filthy gobbo after all.

>>267662
Check the side passage and if you have to flee take the boat to get away.
But don't use it now or the motor will resound in the whole cave

OK, I'll examine the boat further. Is there anything I should be looking for? The side passage goes off into some more cave systems, it doesn't look like there's anything down there that I can see.

>>271684
Looks like there is a compartment under the seat and one in the front of the boat. Check out both of those.

Do you mean you can't see anything from where you are or is it empty?
if it goes further explore it a bit, the boat should have an owner.

>>271685
Might as well check it out.

There's some stuff folded up here, looks like clothes, and some leather thing. The front compartment is full of chains and shackles. Looks like this belonged to the slaver.

>>272398
What's the leather thing?

Let's steal the boat before he comes back. We chan check the leather thing while we're on the water. Use the oar and let's go downstream because paddlin updstream is a bitch.

>>272422
Or sabotage it. Pilfer the spark plugs from the motor. That way the slaver has a boat he thinks he can use but can't, and we have a boat we can use but no-one else can.

>>272398
Well then, unfold the cloth and the leather thing. Could be something useful.

>>272422
>>272577
Didn't we blow his brains out in the first thread? Or was that another guy?

>>272587

Inside the wallet is a card with a picture of that thing I shot and some scribble-scratch all over it, some keys, and some more of those tab looking things but silver colored. Under it is some heavy leather clothing as well as some welding goggles or something.

See if the keys can start the boat.

>>274129
Wait...so we now have both his keys and his spare keys or something?

Check the other compartment. Take whatever other people suggest.

>>274129
Check how much gas there is in the motor. It seems like we've found out why people are disappearing in THIS direction, so why don't we go downstream a bit?

What's the texture of material of the tabs? They look like they're either earplugs or coinage.

Tabs are coins. Put the stuff back in the wallet and take the wallet. Let's check down the tunnel. Maybe it's a hideout.

I don't see any gas cylinders but this tank has is about half full of whatever passes for fuel for this thing.

They look just like the other things I picked up, you'd have to have really weird looking ears to stick these in them.

We'll head downstream in the boat. After traveling for a while I can see a light up ahead.
